Let me tell you how I discovered this 2015 movie. In 2016, I found this movie on paid cable TV at home, and watched it from the middle to the end. Maybe the helpless romance and separation at that time attracted me so much that I bought this book online. The first chapter, June Storm , has been read on and off for more than a year. In fact, it's because I'm not very interested in the subject of war. Plus it was because the actor Matthias Schoenaerts color values and acting into the heart, would want to read this book, the hero and heroine of the story is in Chapter II adagio appear in. As everyone knows, the author Irene Nemirovsky was a French Jew. She was killed in Auschwitz before the book was completed. This also brings a deeper sadness to the "French Suite". Whenever I think of this, I complained to my husband that the first chapter was so boring and I couldn't read it, and I would have a deep apology to the author.
Like other films that have been adapted from novels, this one also differs from the original in many ways. The title of the film should be called "French Suite - Adagio". All the plots come from the second chapter. I'll tell friends who haven't read the original book about the different places, there may be some that I can't remember, please forgive me.
1. Lucio and her mother-in-law have not experienced bombing, which means they have not experienced the most intuitive disaster of war. 2. Nor is there any mention of German atrocities against Jews. 3 Bonnet, the German translator who lives in Madeleine's house, is no hooligan, he is a warm and polite 19-year-old boy in the book. The so-called gallantry to Madeleine was nothing more than a little tenderness towards her by a young man of blood, after a long life in the army. He would talk to her about art, and he would see Madeleine breastfeeding as a beautiful work of art. After the mayor's wife reported Benoit, the Germans came to search for guns. Benoit denied it was his, telling the German soldier "Give me the gun and I'll show you it's not mine". After getting it, he shot Bonnet and fled. Benoit killed Bonnet out of jealousy, because he had been a prisoner of war, because Bonois was not a peasant with loess in his hands like he was. Madeleine had a relationship with a wounded French soldier, Jean-Marie, who was also an upper-class gentleman before joining the army, so Benoit hated the rich, he hated it His women had a crush on this cultured bourgeois man. I am very dissatisfied with the portrayal of Bonnet as a rogue and unreasonable person in the film, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to write a review. In the aftermath of Bonnet's killing, there was a state of cold war between the two sides. The Germans were a little bit heartbroken, thinking they didn't offend the French, why would they kill German soldiers. After this incident, the German army tightened the ban, and during this period of time, they no longer interacted with the locals, which is an important turning point in this chapter. 4. In the book, Lucio knew about her husband's infidelity for a long time, not a neighbor's report. 5. Madeleine asked Lucio to help hide Benoit, and she agreed at the time. 6. The most intimate contact between the male and female protagonists is only kissing and grabbing the chest, which was immediately stopped by Lucio. It's because she sees it as a betrayal of Bruno for hiding Benoit. Benoit hid in her house and slept in her mother-in-law's bathroom. There is no secret room in their house, because there is no need to fear the Germans to check because Bruno is there. 7. The mayor was not shot for not handing over Benoit. Just trying to highlight the stark contrast between the brutality of the Nazis and the kindness of Bruno. 8. After the German festivities, the Germans were ordered to evacuate and assigned to Russia. Lucio knew he had to leave before asking for a pass, otherwise there would be no better chance of transferring Benoit. After the Germans evacuated Bussy, it was at the end of the unfinished original work. After that, all the plots were added by the screenwriter without authorization. Bruno never doubted Lucio. On the day the Germans evacuated, the locals were actually a little reluctant. After all, in the more than 3 months they had been together, they had never spoken to each other, and the Germans did not brutalize or oppress the locals.
This book is well known to have a high rating, and the film is made like this, which makes the audience very helpless. But I noticed Matthias Schoenaerts here, and started exploring his other films, and I've been obsessed with him lately. As for the way the film was shot, there are a few shots that really moved me. The first time Bruno met Lucio in the garden who was writing a letter to her husband, she was wearing a straw hat. After Bruno commented to her mother-in-law that she was not a woman who was interested in music, she could always see the slightly upturned brim of the hat. corners of the mouth. And the scene that the movie added without permission: it breaks my heart that Bruno watched Lucio in complete fear and only focused on the escape scene. The look in his eyes, and the details that hold her waist add luster to this disappointing film.
