I admit that I watched the 2004 American version first, and then I found out that it was a remake and then found this 1996 version to watch. In fact, there are no preconceived ideas in the world. Even if you watch the American version first, you still prefer the original.
After watching 1996, you will find that the United States has changed the ending, changed the details in the middle, and deleted a lot of the part about buying the ring, and the female one has been changed to Lisa! The French version is so delicate that I like the so-called little three Alice!
In my mind, there is no right or wrong in love, nor is it first-come, first-served. When the male protagonist picked out a ring, he also took a fancy to three different rings, which is the opening of the movie. The director's technique was very special, using 3 different rings to introduce the 3 different women that the male protagonist met.
In the French version of 1996, the male protagonist never met Lisa again, he just heard Lisa's voice through the door, this is not a reunion? The lie, but here Alice has changed her mind. She is a girl who knows what she wants. In the end, she decided to leave freely.
The 2004 version still likes the style of Laiwu's movies: it's a happy ending, I always wonder why the movie can't be a little surprising, it's been 2 years, although these two people were indirectly separated by alice/alex with lies, but since they are in love Why not make it clear? Isn't it strange that the truth came out in the end and suddenly met at the airport?
The French version is more make sensé. The male protagonist finally fell in love with Alice, but he missed it again and returned to the original point to marry his fiancée. The memories with Lisa and the passion with Alice are only fleeting, reality, suspense, and romance are all in it. Is it enough?
