I felt Stephane's relief from the whole life process, not hurried, always gentle and quiet, but obviously he gave me the feeling that everything was light in his eyes (yes, this is what he said about his friend Maxime , but he himself gave the same impression), but he still chose to suppress, as if there was still something in his world that was taboo and untouchable. After reading it, I have been puzzled: what kind of idea will make him choose to give up when happiness comes to him.
At first, I thought Stephane was cowardly, but later I felt that cowardice should not be used to describe such a person with a sensitive and complicated heart. He is actually not as calm as I thought, and entanglements and contradictions may fill his heart all the time. He is a rich man. Emotional artist, but he did not choose to release his emotions through any medium, but chose the violin craftsman as a profession that serves the sensibility rationally. Artists approach the ideal through release, while he approaches the ideal through restraint.
Unfortunately, restraint seems to have become a habit, but emotions and thoughts cannot be restrained by restraint. Even if the face is expressionless, the body is often overturned. "For so long I was on hold, I caused your flaws, and I lost Maxime. I felt very clearly that I was not destroying others, but myself." Long-term occlusion, lack of soul communication, but time moves forward unrestrainedly, looking back at the past when nothing was gained, slapped with a sense of loss, and when rejecting the opportunity that has come, it seems that I killed myself.
He is probably not the person in Camille's mind, at least at that stage in the film he was still walking alone on the road of self-exploration. In his opinion, this road can only be walked alone, and it may not be possible if he does not come to a complete understanding. Will give up, this is the source of the whole tragedy, when Camille's heart-breaking confession appeared in front of him, his refusal was really unexpected, but he was entangled in the rationale of his inner world.
The last shot of the film stops on Stephen, who is sitting alone. He sits quietly, not knowing whether he is crying without tears in his heart, or is still unmoved by the stubbornness.
Let's talk about the independent and free heroine Camille. She is like most people in life. She encounters a body that makes her heart beat, and then constantly transforms the other party. In the end, she keeps failing, which reminds me of "Call me" by your name at the end of my dad's words: "In order to heal quickly, we take so much out of ourselves that by the age of thirty our relationships are bankrupt. With every new relationship we start, all we can give is Even less." Although he tried his best to keep the throbbing of his first love, the reality was constantly suppressing.
Finally, like Maxime's understanding and tolerance!
