Dolls are not forbidden in this movie

It is similar to the first time, and the few words at the end have brought the depth of the whole movie to a new realm, from whose youth is not confused to philosophical thinking, which is amazing. The non-linear narrative has also maintained its character.

"J'ai repensé à toutes les filles que j'ai connues, avec qui j'avais couchée ou même j'avais seulement désirée, je me suis dit qu'elles sont commes les poupées russes. On passe sa vie entière à jouer à ce jeu-là, on est curieux de savoir qui sera la dernière. La toute petite, qui était cachée depuis début derrière les autres. On peut pas l'attraper directement, on est obligé de suivre un cheminement. une après l'autre. On se demande à chaque fois, est-ce que c'est elle la dernière?”

This sentence is directly consecrated in my heart, not to mention it is the first time I saw naked men and naked women running on the streets of Paris, c'est très à la française. Among the many female characters, I like Wendy the most, and the last one The good girl is very different, or she may be an independent person with ideas. I like her temperament and looks. The sincere words of her farewell to the male protagonist before the departure of the train were so touching that she couldn't help but think of the "if you catch up at that time, I will follow you for the rest of my life". But the male protagonist is so unrealistic. After experiencing all kinds of bordels, he found that this intellectual beauty was still waiting for her there. Her heart never left. I don't know when they started to fall in love with each other. Feelings? Was it from the moment he suddenly came to London to meet again after a long absence, was he gradually learning about the empathy process of the other party in the past, or was it a certain day in the five years after the male protagonist left Barcelona? In a word, the more you know a person, the more you can like this soul, it is not necessarily "lucky", but it is really a happy and satisfying thing.

Wendy's younger brother William is different. He has long hair and is a little handsome. I can't believe that he was such a hated boy five years ago. I came to Russia alone for an uncertain love, and I can speak Russian to this level in one year. After nine years of learning, I may not be able to speak the same words at the same speed. I am ashamed. Maybe Russian is also a relationship between letters. uncomfortable. Anyway, I admire his courage in chasing love, and I envy that he was really in the crowd, and he met true love at the lighting console of the theater. In contrast, the male protagonist's long and short romance seems a little sad, but who knows, maybe the male protagonist's nesting doll has a little more layers, and the structure is a little more complicated. And maybe he'll enjoy the exploration from time to time, even if he complains at the end that he's single.

It can be felt that the director still wants to express the cultural differences between different countries, which is not as sharp as the previous step, but the shared house in Russia is still eye-opening. On the surface, the fighting people did a good job, not so many graffiti and trash cans, giving the whole city a messy look and feel. No one is born perfect, but when you meet someone who appreciates your imperfection, you become happy together.

Russian Dolls quotes

  • William: This is known as the street of "ideal proportions." It's 25 meters high, 25 meters wide, and 250 meters long. Personally, I don't see what's so ideal about it. The Russians are obsessed with the - they're obsessed with things being ideal, you know?

    Natacha: It's not true.

    William: Yes, it is darling. Well, it's not a bad thing. I mean, you know, English people, we've got some bad habits as well. I mean do you remember - Wendy, do you remember your boyfriend, the American one? What was his name? Bruce.

    Wendy: Yes.

    William: Right, well, I was talking to him one day, and he said to me, "Problem with you English guys is, you're always saying 'I'm sorry.' All the time, you're saying 'I'm sorry about this, I'm sorry about that.'" And you know what? It's actually true. We do say "I'm sorry" too much. What can I say? We're sorry. I said to him, "I'm sorry about that. I apologize. But that's it, you know? Nobody's perfect."

  • Wendy: I know you're not always perfect. I know you have tons of problems, defects, imperfections... but who doesn't? It's just that I prefer your problems. I'm in love with your imperfections. Your imperfections are just great!

    Wendy: I know most girls they get weak on their knees for what's beautiful, you know, that's all they see, that's all they want. But I'm not like that. I don't just see what's beautiful. I fall for the other stuff. I love what's not perfect. It's just how I am.
