Watched "The Umbrella of Cherbourg" on August 8, 2019
In the background of the opening subtitles, the conspicuous fake rain has been falling, forming a sparse waterline, which cannot be called a rainline, because it is indeed obvious, but we all know that this is a rain curtain. We can always be tolerant of the past. Just like a stage play, the fixed-point scene, shot from above, pedestrians pass by commandingly, intertwined from the four corners of the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest, the point is, it is raining, there are umbrellas, and each color are not the same.
The camera rises, and the water in the distance is clearly calm.

Because I was occasionally attracted by the colors in the stills, I deliberately watched the movie again, for the sake of appreciation and also for the work manuscript. There are very few picture resources on the Internet, so we can only take screenshots while watching.
The landscaping of the film can be used as an example of color teaching materials. It is very beautiful, very bold, very bright, and very thoughtful. Almost all the backgrounds are integrated with people's clothing, or the same color, or similar color, or color matching with harmonious tones. There are many colors, bright but not messy, just rich and wonderful.

The plot is very bloody. In fact, watching old movies now is very bloody, because so many years have passed, and the same plot has been watched hundreds of times and a thousand times, so it is the most local originator.
The first act is separation. The male and female protagonists clearly love each other, but they have no patience at all. The man only joined the army for two years, and she married someone else. It's also good for the heroine's character. At this time, she was already pregnant, but the mother wanted to marry her to someone else. The point was that Panxia didn't mind at all. The man was very sad when he joined the army, went out to get drunk, had a one-night stand, and didn't even know that the godmother who raised him was dead.
I don't know why these men and women live in the world so casually.
In the last clip, the man and his new wife have worked hard to have their own gas station, a clean gas station, which was his and her dream. The heroine appeared in a superior luxury car, and it happened that the man's wife had just left. He hadn't seen him for many years, and when he saw the girl in the car, he should have known that it was his child, but no one mentioned it, and the man was unsympathetic and greeted politely, which may be the last time they will meet in this life. As soon as her car drove away, her wife came back.
He didn't panic and didn't hide anything. He naturally rushed forward and hugged his wife. Suddenly, he felt that some past losses, regrets, and mistakes could be dissipated. As long as the present was happy, everything could start from scratch.
There is no regret or regret in this story.

Just an old love story:
- You smell of gasoline.
- That's just another fragrance.
It's somewhat ironic in retrospect.
