in Shanghai too." "I heard that this happened in Shanghai too." When he saw one doctor talking to another doctor very seriously, he finally couldn't help laughing. This time, director Golismaji doesn't show much cold humor in "Le Havre," which may be the most hilarious scene in this gloomy film.
My wife had a terminal illness and was lying in the hospital waiting to die when she suddenly and inexplicably died. That’s why the above doctor’s conversation came about. This impoverished family has been relying on the husband's shoe shine for a living, and soon after the wife became ill, the husband occasionally took in an African child who was smuggled in...
The master Guo Limaki has always preferred to be in his own country. ——Filming in Finland, but this time it was moved to France. In "Le Havre", France, this lively and fragrant land is still painted with the cool and calm tones of northern Europe, at most, the frozen Finnish words are replaced with soft soft ones. French accent. Once again, Guo Lismaki still set his sights on the life at the bottom, showing the unique tenderness from the bottom, without any anxiety, hunger, and inextricable desire to permeate. Compared with Golismaji's previous "The Man Without the Past" and "The World of Floating Clouds", "Le Havre" abandons the tiny perspective, and instead presents a group-like picture, where the husband brings the smuggled children east. When hiding in Tibet and getting into trouble, this group of neighbors extended their warm hands together. Although they had some mean things before, they were not hurtful after all. They turned into smiles in the warmth of their hearts. .
Although he is always obsessed with the real depiction of the bottom and the ruthless criticism of reality, it is strange that Golismaji always likes to arrange a Hollywood-style happy ending at the end. "Le Havre" is not actually the director's best work. This time, the group-like presentation seems to be somewhat shallow, and it lacks the benefit of being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the end, this jaw-dropping recovery arrangement. This can no longer be described as a happy ending, it is more like a fairy tale ending - they have lived happily ever after. But it is precisely because of this that this unreasonable, indistinguishable, unreasonable, fairy-tale ending without any reason or rationality just shows a very strange absurdity. The wife's illness is cured, and no one knows how it is. The developed modern medicine and advanced instruments can only be used with both hands, and there is no way to explain one or two, whether they are too kind and poor, even God. Can't watch any longer. Moreover, "I heard that this happened in Shanghai too".
The choice of the role of husband is also quite interesting. He was originally a bohemian writer. He gave up his identity as an intellectual and was willing to roll in the poor class, which also seemed to reflect the director's consistent value orientation. Golismaki has always refused to interpret the grief of poor and humble couples, and always tried his best to show the optimism, open-mindedness and open-mindedness that can only happen to the poor, sometimes even called blind and unbeatable. Come fearlessly.
The woman who plays the wife is still Guo Lismaki's favorite female general - the old lady who is described as haggard, thin and thin. Compared with many female stars who are beautiful and round, her face is expressionless, but she has a bit of weather-beaten stubbornness. with fearlessness. At the end of the film, the couple walked into the humble home hand in hand, showing an inviolable awe and dignity in their stride. The cherry blossoms in the courtyard are extremely gorgeous, swaying gently with the wind, very much like the lens of Yasujiro Ozu, but no matter from the social problems reflected in the film itself or the final absurd expression method, it is warm with Yasujiro Ozu. The water-style market life has long since parted ways.
