In "Atmosphere" Observation

It happened that I was watching "Youth Pig-headed Boys Don't Dream of Bunny Girl Senior Sister" in the past two days. Some of the connotations are similar. For example, everyone is observing their words in the big environment of society and is afraid of being isolated, so they do their best to integrate into the society. Even if it goes against their heart, as long as everyone does this, they will abandon their guilt. As the male protagonist said, fighting with the atmosphere is the most troublesome thing.

Let's take a look at the changes before and after the protagonists in the film: From the words Christina started, it can be seen that her life in Austria is very free and happy, and the feelings between her friends are sincere and there is no distance. She has tried hard to adapt to the rules of life here, but there is one more thing, that is, her insistence on opposite-sex friendship, before hitting the lover's law of Paris society (righteous, well-informed, undisguised, loving). She wanders between her husband Robert, her friend Octave, and the pilot Giulio, enjoying the company of each of them but not falling in love with any of them, enjoying the process with a tinge of skepticism. She turned a deaf ear to the rumors of her husband and lover Genevieve, and as long as she didn't see her with her own eyes, she could continue to deceive herself, pretend not to know, and play a naive wife. However, the villa party broke the status quo. She had to face this extramarital affair. She did not object but was glad that Geneviève's existence allowed her to not have to deal with this husband all the time, anyway, what Parisians do. But after the two women frankly confessed, Genevieve, who had no worries, entangled with Robert in front of others, which stimulated Christina's self-esteem and vanity as a wife, and she also flirted with the men around her. Love, even flying away, just wanted to get away from this hypocritical and helpless atmosphere, Julio's sudden death awakened Christina, she had entered a dead end, no matter who she went with, the ending was the same, she went back again. When she arrived at her husband's side, it seemed as if nothing had happened, but at this moment, she had fully integrated into the social rules of this circle and was no longer independent.

Robert, like countless men who have extramarital affairs in Paris, carefully maintains the balance between the two women, but because of his wife's "I blindly trust you", he wants to cut off the relationship with his lover. In fact, he is also a naive man, indecisive and disconnected. , and made the situation even more confusing, this was not something he could just jump out of if he wanted to.

The pilot Julio, his childhood friend Octave, the maid Lisat, and the poacher Marceau are all people who have not changed much. The difference is that Julio was naively trapped in illusory love until his death. Not knowing the truth, innocent sacrifice. Octave, the maid Lisat, and the poacher Marseille knew the rules of the game of flirting and making fun from the beginning, and after the farce, they were still their original selves.
