The film taught me something more important than the plot

The film is more than 2 hours long. I divided it into three nights to watch it. The main reason is that the amount of information in the lines in the film is too large, and every sentence is worth listening to and watching.

The meaning of this film to me is not as simple as the love-hate entanglement in the story, but more to tell me a kind of existence: that is, dramatic, connotative, literary, philosophical, and full of dramatic conflicts and Films that are aesthetically pleasing to ordinary audiences do exist. I engage in trance when watching a movie and feel like I'm watching a play. For the first time, the impact of such a dramatic film has been felt so clearly. Thanks to Gerard Depardieu.

It was a coincidence that I came across this film. This year’s Sino-French Cultural Spring Film Festival invited the director of this film, Rapenot. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to interview him, so before the interview, I chose a few of his more famous works in China to look down. Below are "Love with a Big Nose" and "Rooftop Hussars". After the interview yesterday, I found that he treats his work as a very rigorous artist who is not afraid of spending time and finesse.

Maybe the current situation in the film industry is changing. Especially in China, directors like Rapeno who spend a lot of time and energy to craft their works are difficult to survive. It can only be said that this is the result of different times. If you want to improve yourself, you may still Looking through the old movies before, Pinpin used to be "pure" better.
