The first time I watched it, I patronized and laughed at the mistress's car skills. Of course, I haven't watched it the second time, but after careful recollection, the metaphor of the car as an important prop that has appeared many times in this film is obvious.
Just like most men's preference for medium and large vehicles, the male owner of this film is also a wide-body sedan (the model is not clear, but I hope that the expert will guide you). This car has a very powerful symbolic meaning, it even appeared in the camera before the male owner. In order to show its importance, Caron used a set of very compelling shots to tell us how it was "stocked": in the cramped space that almost had to be close to the wall to drive slowly into the space, the male host continued to make slight adjustments. The steering wheel (various close-ups) finally drove into the garage after two slight scratches. Until this time, the male protagonist revealed his true face.
There is no doubt that giving this car so much performance space is more than just pretending to be cool. Here is an extremely important message: the male host has shown tiredness and revealed clues about this daily careful and step-by-step life. If this car is compared to the male owner himself, and the door of his home is compared to his married life, he is obviously already boring while he is familiar with the road, and he has begun to "scratch" the marriage life, laying the groundwork for the subsequent derailment and divorce. .
After that, the sensitive hostess drove the car to take the maid to the hospital. As a result, in front of two large trucks, due to poor driving skills and impetuous impetuosity, the car was scratched all over. Obviously, a woman can't control this car, just as she can't control the owner of this car, nor can she control her married life. Therefore, in addition to being compared to a male owner, this car can also be compared to married life. At this time, she was already out of control in front of her married life.
After confirming that the host had derailed, the hostess drove his car and almost drove into her door in a rampage. At this time, she had completely collapsed, and treated her married life in a broken jar, just like she put the car in the warehouse in a self-destructive way. From this moment on, her marriage has completely failed.
In the end, she bought a narrow-body sedan, and she was finally able to drive into the house calmly. At this time, she was completely reborn. Changing the car, replacing a very masculine wide-body sedan with a somewhat feminine narrow-body sedan, meant that she completely got rid of her dependence on men and moved towards a new life. At the same time, she immediately changed to a new job and never bowed to life.
As for driving the wide-body sedan left by the husband to travel to the beach. It can be regarded as the last farewell between the hostess and the male host, and the last farewell to the married life. Ironically, at this moment, the male host finally returned home, and he wanted to move his belongings. The hostess can finally drive the car safely this time, and a woman who is determined to move towards a new life will naturally no longer hold any hatred for this car. Finally at the beach, both the hostess and the maid achieved a kind of self-salvation, and the film finally had a happy ending.
Of course, this is only the analysis of the male owner's car. Another car driven by a hired driver can also be analyzed from a certain angle, so I won't expand it here. There are also vehicles such as airplanes, which also have strong symbolic connotations, and they are not unfolded anymore.
Just throw a brick from the perspective of the car.
