False rules of the game

Tell a story about the moral corruption of high society, exuding a sad but lyrical flavor. In this film, Renoir successfully used the narrative techniques of depth of field and long takes.

In fact, it is also in line with the meaning of today's society that we remove the upper class. We are always obsessed with feelings, fame, and status. But these are all meaningless. This is our inner emptiness, loneliness and vanity at work. So, we use all kinds of lies to cover up these facts. So we will blame the society for how bad it is.

In fact, I think the pilot is doing the right thing. Because he faced his own heart and dared to make a confession about his feelings. He also dared to declare his feelings to everyone. But no matter in the past or now, everyone is bound by rules. But there are no rules. Therefore, people who tell the truth and people who are good people will be framed by some people who lie. It is said that the public's eyes are bloody, and they are indeed sharp. Everyone sees all this in their eyes, but they don't make it clear. Because they know the rules.

So I say that the rules of this game are hypocritical and not fair. This rule is the so-called rule of the upper class and the rich, who play the lower classes as pawns. But no one accuses them of being wrong because that's the rules of society.

The film uses a poetic realism approach, suggesting that realism was a genre of films that emerged in the 1930s, when the economy was facing an economic crisis. The technique of this kind of film takes the life of the lower classes as the theme, emphasizing humanitarianism and humanity. It is a kind of psychological appeal of people at that time under the social background at that time. Most of the films use depth of field shots and long shots to express the relationship between the characters and the environment. The details in the shot are completely displayed in front of the audience. Can better express tragedy in comedy.
