I don't know why, I was so excited when I watched this movie for the first time, I thought it would become one of my favorite movies, but after two days of watching it, I felt it was flat. Maybe because the shock and touch it brought me at first has gradually subsided, or maybe the film itself has a good connotation, but the plot is not perfect and unsatisfactory. Especially the second third, since Adjani went to the police station in a suit to fill out the forms, it was a bit boring and confusing. The performance of the concert at the end was supposed to be a climax, but it didn't sublime, and I couldn't get up, because I knew the male lead was going to die. It was only after two brushes that I realized what happened to the male lead's death. The blackmail letter asking for 500,000 yuan was not written by Fred but by the florist. The florist stole the document and tried to take advantage of it. , which led to the murder of the male protagonist. The uncle who sells flowers is really a hidden and treacherous villain, and the final big winner. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. It was the florist's lust that killed Fred, and it was Helena's husband's power that killed Fred.
Christopher Lambert's acting is so good, how can he play Fred's brave and decadent, uninhibited and innocent temperament so vividly, coupled with that golden explosive head, fascinated all beings, so much that men and women In the first opposing scene of the Lord in the subway, I felt that Fred completely overshadowed Adjani. Fred is like a urchin in my heart, he is so cute when he smiles, I am gone. When he is not smiling, his eyes are determined and affectionate, when he is half wrapped in a quilt and recalls his five-year-old car accident, when he tells the drummer that Helena is Cinderella, when he listens to black singers singing.
Fred likes birthdays, he met Helena on her birthday, and then he should have created a chance encounter at the door of the house to help her move things in. Helena is indeed the kind of girl that Fred would like. She is pure and beautiful, with a vague rebellious atmosphere in her bones. The crowd is like an otherworldly white swan, without any taint of the world, with blue eyes and childishness. Her face gives people a feeling of a beautiful and stable life, which is why Fred always smiles from the heart when he looks at the pictures of the heroine's childhood. One is a madman and the other is a pampered lady. The love between them once again fulfills the sentence: people will always fall in love with people who are different from themselves. How to pursue a conservative married woman? Fred did not go the usual way. He directly chose to blow up people's safes at the birthday party, stole documents, and created a chance to meet on the grounds of money transactions. He launched a vigorous and extraordinary pursuit of Helena. I really like the passion in Fred, indeed, as the florist said, "he doesn't like to be ostentatious, but he is full of passion." This man likes to blow up suitcases, listen to exciting music and do bgm while driving. He is on a rampage and can't sing by himself, but he has always dreamed of forming a band. Perhaps it was because of his nearly lost life in a car accident as a child and five years of not being able to speak that Fred wanted to sing or listen to others. Music represented his desire and love for life. Knowing that the dream of director Luc Besson when he was a child was to be a diver, but later failed due to some accidents, I guess Fred's story may have projected a complex of the director himself. Music is to Fred what the sea is to Luc. Besson. Fred finally got his wish and saw the performance of the band he formed, and his life ended in the intense music, which was both complete and regrettable. When I looked through the director's photos during the day and saw the following photos, I was shocked. I finally knew who Fred was like. Isn't this Luc Besson Benson? The same golden brown fried hair, the same impatient look. So it can be said that Luc Besson is using this film to express an ideal self and pay homage to his unfulfilled dream.
People who have been through the gate of hell usually cherish a stable and ordinary life, but Fred chose a strong and exile lifestyle, which Helena did not have the courage to try. "Why don't you like me?" "Because I don't have enough courage." "Are you lazy?" "Yes." Although Fred is a desperado, he is the one who takes life most seriously. He is loyal to himself, Know what you love and have the courage to achieve it and the passion to persevere. He doesn't care about his strange hairstyle, because he "isn't for others to see", and he doesn't care about the worldly vision, because the life he lives is not a mundane life at all, he is out of this world. Helena contrasts with him, she is fed up with the hypocrisy of high society but is numb until Fred's arrival finally opens a gap in her life. Helena is awakened like a beast in distress, but at the same time she doesn't have the courage to run away like Ibsen's Nora. Heart-to-heart, if I were a lady like Helena, it would be hard for me to make up my mind to give up my superior life and travel the world with Fred. Not everyone has the courage to live a life of displacement and passion like Fred, but at least one should live a life as authentic as possible. You can't be too lazy, you can't stop thinking, go with the flow, stay in your comfort zone and spend your life in vain. Hopefully Fred's death will make Helena make some changes in her life. people kill people, for ordinary people, it is often their own laziness, cowardice and greed for enjoyment that kill themselves. I like Luc Busson's idealistic feelings, death is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of self, and living a life that is not worth living.
In the end, Adjani finally stopped acting as a lunatic this time! And the soundtrack is amazing too! I will always love this imperfect film.
