To the heartwarming girls
In an interview with Adele and Lea about the film, I learned that the director's shooting style is to focus on the emotions of the actors themselves. After the two leading actors read the script once, the director told them that it was time to forget the script and that the actors needed to show their true feelings beyond understanding the plot. Maybe that's why every detail is so real that it can stand the test of a big-screen magnifying glass.
The film begins with Adele's French teacher discussing what it feels like to fall in love at first sight in "La vid de Marianna" - the spark that meets the eyes, the emptiness in the heart after separation. The young students in the class were either inattentive or unclear. But it was after Dooming that Adele passed by Emma on the square. Even after being with the "cute" senior, there is a huge hole in my heart that can't be filled. Instead, a surprise kiss with a girl in the same class made her find herself again.
Can't choose which scene is my favorite, but the scene where Adele and Emma meet at the bar is very moving. Adele finds Emma around in the bar, but at the moment she turns around, she misses Emma who appears from behind her. There is a scene immediately after the appearance of a picture, which is the bottom of the skirt of a girl in a red dress. Scenery, does this imply that there is always a passionate and lustful relationship between Adele and Emma. Just when Adele thought she would be lost again, she turned around and saw Adele sitting in the attic staring at her again.
Lucky people may have felt this moment - a stranger passing by, making you feel like you've met from a lifetime ago, but you're uneasy whether the other person feels the same way as you. And when you meet again, when you are looking for him (her), when you encounter him (her), you are also looking for your eyes. At that moment, it was like a thunderbolt, but it was silent.
Adele and Emma's love is based on the purest of passion and desire, which is probably why there are so many explicit scenes in the film. Another recurring suggestive shot is Adele's wet lips. It was her passion with Adele that led Emma to find her artistic direction. The subjects of her paintings are always women who are full of love and passion.
Adele and Emma's love is doomed to be unequal from the very beginning. Emma comes from a good, open family and loves philosophy and art. On her second meeting with Adele, she quotes Sartre "la mysterieuse faiblesse des visages d'homme" which translates to "the mysterious weakness of the hidden face". She talked about Sartre's existentialism, "Existence precedes essence, life exists, and then we define our essence through action, so we have a great responsibility for our own life" "et s'est qu'ensuite qu 'on se definit par ses actes. En fait, ca nous donne une grande responsabilite'. Emma believes in freedom and a life of choice. And whether it's philosophy or the art that Emma is obsessed with, Schiller, Klimt, Adele don't understand or like it. And Adele became more and more humble in this relationship and became an accessory. She prepares for Emma's party and doesn't enjoy it. She mentioned being a professor when she first met Emma's parents, but later became a kindergarten teacher. She made a lot of compromises to be with Emma and gave up her original dream. But at the same time, she and Emma are also drifting apart, two worlds under the same roof.
So separation came so naturally but like a flood. Emma met Lisa, another painter, at a party at home. They started seeing each other frequently and painting together. Adele felt Emma's alienation and turned to a male colleague who had a crush on her. The male colleague took her home, and the scene of kissing goodbye in the car was smashed by Emma. Disappointed, betrayal maybe also because of Lisa, Emma kicked Adele out that night.
When watching a movie, I can't help but have doubts in my mind. Emma shooed Adele away so eloquently, but had she been with Lisa before that? In this case, why does Emma stand on the moral high ground and torture Adele's loyalty.
But isn't there such a lowly accessory love in life? When you are infatuated with an older, learned, and charming person, it's like becoming an accessory to that love. In this kind of love, you can only continue to pay and hollow yourself out, but you lose the right to judge and argue. It seems that this love makes people disarm and surrender and obey.
Three years later, although Adele tried to numb herself with work, she still couldn't get out of Emma's shadow. The scene where Adele and Emma meet in the cafe is so humble and sad. They kiss and cry. But Emma left Adele ruthlessly. And this time it's really over.
The last scene Adele wears a blue dress to Emma's exhibition, just like the color of Emma's hair when Adele first met Emma.
Perhaps many girls have encountered this blue at some point in their lives. Some people always have the company of this blue, and some people can only hide the blue in their hearts forever. I just hope that the blue hidden in my heart will last forever.
