The biggest shortcoming is that Paris is too fake, there are so few exterior scenes, and the scene at the end of the film is also poorly done, like those cheap "May 4th" movies made in my country. The level of reality is far less than the picture of black and white TV. Where to find a Sartre or Foucault, in fact, Lao Bei might as well go straight to the TV screen.
The films that pay homage to the masters are quite good, well connected, and gimmicky. The best I remember is the "New York Herald Tribune", which seems to be a clip of "Exhausted." Ho ho, had a good laugh.
Some friends confuse the position of the director of this film. In fact, there is an explanation that may be the most reasonable, that is, Matthew more or less represents the old Bei who came back from the United States to see Paris back then, as well as those crazy people and dreams. He did not lash out, because he was one of the generation of young people who were affected by this trend. Personal guess, Lao Bei still admires it, even if there is reflection, he still thinks about it.
Of course, there is something wrong with Theo throwing petrol bombs on the street, but Matthew also expressed his doubts to Theo earlier, which is roughly like this: those Maoism and the Red Book are fake, and your feelings for them are also fake. The fact is that the young people are holding the same book and singing the same song, that is to say, the revolution is simply a collective fanaticism of blind obedience and indiscriminate knowledge. The fake of the latter is that Theo never takes action. Talking about the revolution while drinking high-grade red wine is just talk on paper, and it is hypocritical.
Theo finally begins to act inexplicably, a stone smashes the glass window of the home, and drags several poor children who should have died of gas poisoning into the revolutionary wave of the street. But this kind of blind action still failed to convince Matthew that he used two kisses to the two brothers and sisters, which was really extraordinary. They were actually "Kiss", "Love", and "Nonviolence", but these words are too big to be confused. It seemed silly, so Lao Bei chose body language. The usefulness of Matthew is too obvious. Colorado, a very conservative state in the southern United States, Matthew's scale is already very wide. After all, he is also a young man, swinging between left and right, secular morality and a mess of surrealism.
Theo is chaotic, nihilistic, and can do whatever he wants to throw him anywhere, except, of course, Colorado. His violence and non-cooperation stem from his self-righteousness, not his personal opinion. Only Matthew has his own opinion. Theo at the end of the film is the most typical type of dream of the Cultural Revolution, shouting "Police, devil. "Or "go to the street" May youth, but if he usually shouts these slogans, it is not on the street, but at home.
Isabelle uses her body to practice her surging passion, dances the dance of the sexy girl in the movie, pretends to be Venus with a broken arm, takes a bath with three mandarin ducks, and plays sex games, but only when her parents are not present, otherwise she will be too sensitive. Suicide, like Mouchette. In the face of adults, those seemingly invincible youths are extremely fragile. In the face of society, Isabelle has not yet woken up from her shame and suicidal impulses, and she has been involved in the crowd. She can only follow the flow and move forward, throwing gasoline with her favorite Theo. Damn, Isabelle is more childish than Theo.
Still moved, Matthew tried to get back to a turbulent relationship from exhausting sex, asked Isabelle to date like a young student, felt that kind of worrying about gain and loss, thinking about Jun and Nian Nong, that kind of thing is too beautiful, it's actually accumulating lasciviousness, expecting to explode , think of "Heartbeat". Looking back, Chinese children are happy, just like we envy the sexual concept of Western youth.
May storm seems to be more and more a compulsory course for educated youth, so pioneer, so Fashional, so admirable, it seems that I will devote myself to the year when I say it, follow the masters to shout slogans, bleed and sweat, just Young people like France dream of going to China to participate in the Cultural Revolution. The mentality of Lao Bei's dreamers is still in place, like a mirror with life, reflecting life and youth, so even if there are some flaws, it is enough to become a compulsory course for watching May France.
