In these days, the only serious thing to watch is an old French film more than ten years ago, "Love with a Big Nose". It's not that this movie is so much better than the above, just because it occupies an important place in my memory that no other movie can ever replace.
At that time, this film won 10 awards in a row at the Caesars Awards. Looking back now, I am afraid that it is still a little far from the classics. In romantic films, there are some elements of sentimentality and comedy, but it is the most representative of a certain type of French film.
The first time I saw it, I was in my sophomore year. Although I liked movies for a long time, in the era that belonged to the street video hall of Xiaoma, there were not many European and American movies that I could really come into contact with. At that time, I claimed to love European literary films. The funny thing is that all the impressions about European movies came from seven Minato has accumulated a stack of star stills and movie introductions on "Universal Screen", as well as a super-long documentary on CCTV that seems to be called "The Forest of World Movies". So, even though I didn't read the books well, I've always been glad that my school is next to the Beijing Library, a holy place for scholars. I don't spend all day reading books in the reading room, but only for the small ticket booth outside the iron railings of the Beitu Cinema. , the schedule posted every weekend is a whole week of cheap food for a poor student, and a week-long expectation and satisfaction of a young man with a rich heart.
At Beitu Cinema, I really got to know David Lean and James Avery not only from words, but also from images, and I met the girl Tess who came in the morning light and Nicholas in a dazzling golden snakeskin suit. •Cage, it turns out that in addition to "Zorro" and "Escape from a Tiger's Mouth", French movies still have a moving sadness like Cyrano with a big nose. Old Count Philippe Noiret has always been my ideal personality.
Gerard Depardieu, this ugly man with a big nose, actually interprets love so passionately and tenderly. He has talent and inferiority, strength and tenderness, sacrifice and fearlessness, sharpness and kindness, and rashness. With silence and forbearance, these contradictions are strangely mixed, and there is an instinctive attraction to a longing and lonely teenager, like a poppy flower as bright as blood. In the imagination of the literary teenager, hopeless love may have moved him more than the love between the two. In countless nights, when I think of that picture, I still can't help but burst into tears: Cyrano personally sent his rival to his lover In his embrace, he turned and disappeared into the huge shadow of the woods. The moment he turned back, the grass in the night was turbulent in the wind, and the heavy rain came unexpectedly. In the eyes of the giant, it is the heartbreaking sadness of any lovelorn young man.
Not long after, a few buddies in the dormitory huddled together in the clubhouse in the basement of the teaching building, using the dilapidated color TV to watch the video tape brought back from Hong Kong by the teacher, another masterpiece by Depardieu, Camille. •Claudel", his brilliance is completely shrouded in the tragic face of Isabelle Adjani. To this day, the two of them have been my favorite French actors.
Different from the confrontational struggle instilled since childhood, the Count who pursued Cyrano's sweetheart, although he was ridiculed and exaggerated as an opposition character, was always polite and respected his enemies. The director's treatment of him, Like the old Count played by Philip Noiret, he led me from film to literature to recognize and explore the great tradition of humanity in European thought.
After so many years, when I watch this movie again, although I can see that the movie is not only good, but also know that it is not good, but I am pleased to see that my emotions are still the same, and they lead me on the path of exploration and love. , not only cultivated my intellect, but also nourished my emotions over the years, and the goals they pointed to me kept me from getting lost in the rolling red dust.
After twelve years, this movie finally came to my eyes. My dreams have been fulfilled one after another, of course, "Paris, Texas", "Sister Poe", "Doctor Zhivago", "Out of Africa" and "Sophie's Choice". Now, the only thing I look forward to is "The Painful Choice". Philippe Noire's Zhuang Su face and Sophie Massou's youthful face.
Touching this disc over and over again is not very delicate, and even has a tight plastic sleeve. It is one of my few souvenirs. It is about movies, about Beitu Cinema, about college days, about ideals and beliefs, about youth and love. .
