Pure symbols and real individuals

Varda said she wanted to represent women who were homeless on the road, so she had Mona. Mona is free, rebellious, and defiant, but also isolated, filthy, and ends up in the gutter at the end of her life. Mona came naked from the blue sea, and we saw how a woman who walked out of nature went back into nature and made her home in the world. We don't know who she is, and as the camera follows us to witness Mona's wanderings, the image of a fringe rebel gradually plumps up in front of us. The departed Mona represents absolute rebellion and freedom, and the purity of the character based on the mysterious appearance and wandering road from the sea at the beginning makes her a symbol. At the same time, Mona's experiences and encounters on the wandering road, her rebellious rationality gradually degenerated into the ecstasy and chaos of survival for survival, all these changes also show us the life of a real and living street girl. "The End of the World" presents the disillusionment of a symbol of idealism and pure freedom, and also records the women who wander on the road.

    Four and a half stars. The heroine's depressed mood spreads wave after wave with the people she meets, and she hides all the techniques in nature, even the scattered interviews are skillful and natural. She looks just as careless as the heroine. Sandrina Bernell's performance is beyond doubt as real. In the end, she kicked her tattered boots and walked down the street bored. She has completely matched the film's flesh and blood. If the film has been showing her, it is better to say that she is using The existence of this film, the expressions on her face, the negative emotions, are all precious material under the camera. The funniest thing is that Masha Méril has a magical act of electrocution in the movie, and then she said she saw her whole life, that kind of despair. This episode and her kind of worry and nostalgia for the heroine, as well as the spring breeze and rain-like care, produced a layered beauty. From the moment she was lying in the bathtub on the phone, it was a high-quality performance.

    2012.6.16 I really like the director's changeable approach, interweaving the wandering process with face-to-face listening and audience monologue, expressing people's views on wandering girls. The starring's wonderful acting skills and close-ups make the image of this stubborn, longing for freedom, pure and lone angel full and unforgettable. The soundtrack is also good.

Vagabond quotes

  • la platonologne Mme Landier: Why did you drop out?

    Mona Bergeron, sans toit ni loi: Champagne on the road's better!

  • les Bergers: She blew in like the wind. No plans, no goals... No wishes, no wants... We suggested things to her. She didn't want to do a thing. Wandering? That's withering. By proving she's useless, she helps a system she rejects. It's not wandering, it's withering.
