Just a few words

Recently, I went to ACMI to watch Lao Ma's film festival, and I suddenly realized that besides Taxi Driver, my favorite Scorsese movie should be this one.
I have a rough look at the hottest movie reviews and other movie reviews of this film. I feel that it is a little different from my own after watching this film. I just want to write a few words. Some clips feel like playing a movie, and they can still be scrolled and played in the mind. It feels that the human brain is still quite amazing. However, this may also prove that I like this love movie. At the same time, as a fan of Gorda, I still remember that my brother Qton told me that Gorda also liked it after watching it, maybe it was because of Karina and himself, hahaha.

At the beginning of the movie, it can be seen that the female protagonist and the male protagonist have very different personalities. The female protagonist is independent and assertive; the male protagonist is sensual, can flirt with girls, and is a little anxious (but everyone understands that he has just finished the army). After being ruthlessly rejected by the female protagonist again and again, the male protagonist may have moved the female protagonist with his cunning tricks, innocuous jokes and witty kung fu, and later the two got together! blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.... and then we jump to the first place where friction occurs, why is there a contradiction? This is actually a common problem in both China and the West. Maybe there is a question on Zhihu, asking "Women earn more and have more status than men, will the men mind?" The male protagonist, he obviously cares, especially because his work depends on his wife, but he can only swallow in discomfort. . . Later, the film also used a series of montage techniques to show that the two people's relationship experienced many conflicts, such as buying a house, having a son, raising a child, and starting a career, and finally failed to get together.

If the movie is just like this, maybe with the overall tone of an ordinary movie that is a little funny with real life shadows, the best thing about this movie to me is the ending. At the end, the heroine stepped onto the stage and performed a perfect show as usual, charmingly and beautifully, and then walked to the side of her son who should be in her teens at this time. She saw her former husband also standing aside, and De Niro at this time also Not a little saxophone player, but seems to be a good bar operator. Just now when his ex-wife was still performing on stage, he asked Erzhao, "You said, are you like your mother or me?"
Erzhao replied, "Like you".
Dad: "Oh, why?"
Son: "I don't want to be a bitch".
After finishing speaking, De Niro smiled and touched his son's head with love. At this time, I probably guessed that he thought "haha, it is still my genes that have been inherited." The
topic returned to the heroine walking to her son, She looked at the male protagonist and felt that the atmosphere was quite ambiguous at the time. Sure enough, the male protagonist also took the initiative to ask, "Are you free for a while, let's go out for a drink?" The female protagonist agreed.
Then if the impression is correct, the next scene flashes to the heroine hurriedly putting on a coat, running to the elevator and pressing the elevator, but the elevator does not come. I feel that sometimes it may be fate or a momentary feeling, the heroine thought about it Thinking of going back again.
Then the camera turned again. Downstairs, he was playing De Niro with his umbrella on the ground. Maybe he had been waiting below for a while. He smiled knowingly, and then disappeared from the screen in a panic. . . . . . Video is over!

Maybe they thought this date was too naive, maybe they thought it was an impulsive one, maybe they would have a date later, it's an open ending, but it's an unconventional ending for a love movie . I remember that there should be such a gossip in the book "Easy Rider and the Angry Bull": The producer has finished watching the raw film and urged people to call Lao Ma, so that he must have a happy ending, otherwise the film will not be able to return Book. However, under his insistence, Lao Ma did not have a bird producer, and in the end it did lead to a fiasco at the box office of the film, but it seems that many famous directors expressed their love for the film, including Godard mentioned earlier.




I am the gossip dividing line
-----------------------------------------
As for why Godard likes this film, he is the most fangirl, I still want to YY. In 1963, Lao Ge also filmed the famous work "Contempt" in his life, which is also a tragic story. At that time, he and Karina were also in conflict. Later, the media gossip interpreted this film as Godard's contribution to his wife. Love letter, the last two people did not get together. A French show in the 1980s also invited the two together, and it ended with Karina running away from the camera in tears. I feel that it is also two people who have achieved each other in their careers, who are in love with each other, and who have had conflicts. Maybe it is the old saying that love does not have to be together. Sometimes, it is an experience to experience it.
