Blue is the least warm color

This year’s Palme d’Or "Life of Adele" is adapted from the comic of the same name "Blue is the warmest color." The name of the comic has a touch of sadness. But when Abu Dai Kexixi was overthrown, that is, he borrowed the shell of a female homosexual who could not love each other, the style of the picture and the conception of the story are completely different. So the ironiest thing is the title, when did "blue" get a touch with warmth? Blue has always been calm, clear, and cool.

This kind of polite sense of distance is probably exactly what Abu Dai Kexixi wants to convey to the audience.

After the premiere of "Adele's Life" in Cannes, the whole town was boiling. Everyone was talking about beautiful and romantic pictures, helpless love, and of course the 30-minute girly lesbian sex. This is always the case for an outstanding movie. He can provide people with information from different angles, either elegant or vulgar, or subtle. I'm just a little curious why the media keeps silent about the film's naked political mapping. It was a later translation of an interview with Abu Dai Kexixi himself in the "Beijing News", which relieved me. In the article, he mentioned that in "Adele's Life", he wanted to talk about the sense of distance between some classes.

This reminds me of the premiere of "Lust Caution" in Venice many years ago. Everyone was talking about the sexual part, and Ang Lee mentioned in a small-scale interview: Actually, I am very thankful that everyone’s discussion on the topic of sex has covered it. What I am really worried about: Sino-Japanese national relations are a sensitive nerve on both sides of the strait, and I have made a very bold challenge. It's only for those, leaving that country aside, it's not difficult to understand why the slow-reacting authorities are so heartless after the autumn. From the creative point of view, this matter is thorough and bold, and sex is always a shield to cover everything.

As a lesbian movie, "Adele's Life" does not take any homosexual hardships as a gimmick. At most, some girls are confused about their sexual orientation, but this struggle is not entangled with external pressure. It’s just the confusion of self-selection. Her cheating target is also a male. The one who will finally save her broken life and love is also a male of the same race: All this seems to say: I can actually live a so-called "normal" life with others, but I I can't forget her blue-haired EMMA. If you compare this unrequited love entanglement to the relationship between French North Africa and France, everything can be explained closely.

The comparison between the two dinner parties and Adele's confusion in the art party are very direct descriptions of class differences. And the most obvious metaphor of the film is Emma's hair, the dreamy blue tuft that makes Adele tangled, turned back to golden hair when they were estranged from each other. In my opinion, the most interesting line is that when Emma and Adele first fell in love, there was a question: What’s your name? Emama asked jokingly: Does the name adele mean freedom? Sunshine? Love? The answer is no. How did Adele answer? You can watch the movie again.

A good movie is that it is calm on the surface and looks back at the turbulent undercurrent. The babbled lines of Abu Dai Kexixi were not meant to pave the way for the fresh sunshine. When you sip them carefully, almost every sentence is repeatedly stuck on the waist of the subject.

Maybe the reason for getting older is that when watching all the romance films that ended in failure now, I gradually can't see the slightest touch. What I see is destined. And think: Compared with the sad broken love itself, this is the saddest part. And it is generalized to more other things in life, why not so? I watched "Adele's Life". The saddest thing is watching her chewing on various foods to hide her anxiety, watching her various struggles to break through the shackles of her birth, and ultimately all in vain-whether she can understand the cause of the tragedy, all Does not change the tragedy itself.

Are all born equal? Life is not equal.
If you don’t look at the gap, it also makes you miserable. It controls your life and creates various obstacles.
But facing it directly is the most painful time in life.
