A film for rainy days

A French film in 1964, which won the Palme d'Or, the collision of high saturation colors is very avant-garde, there is a kind of Matisse's rush, every frame can guide the aesthetic trend, but all this is under the light of music. It will be eclipsed (the full-length symphonic soundtrack used in the film) I will wait for you, this song supports the film's status in film history.

The film tells a very realistic story under the guise of a romantic and sentimental romance. Falling in love can be ignored, but in a marriage, love is not the most important thing. The romantic heroine is married to a jewelry tycoon, and the decadent hero, with the help of the virtuous woman, strives to achieve success in his career. After all, the ending of the movie is already the best with "Sadness" first. The story is sublimated at the end, the hero and heroine meet again by chance, and they explain their well-being in a few small chats. The end seems to be a happy reunion, and everyone got the best results. In a few relaxed greetings, they expressed their good times and their dreams when they were in love have come true, but not with each other. The movie ends in the scene where the hero keeps kissing his wife and children after the heroine leaves. Sure enough, life is all about acting.

    She contributed the most beautiful opening I have seen this year, and I believe it is also one of the most classic scenes in film history. The gorgeous color layout and character clothing style are really pleasing to the eye, and the three-stage arrangement is so neat and meticulous. Such beautiful colors describe a sad and regretful story. In the end, the reunion scene of the two of them on the snowy night in Cherbourg is so memorable. With the string music rising, that look at each other is the prototype of La La Land. People will make the audience's longing and dream come true, but it stops abruptly in the snow. The love at first sight and the recklessness in love can't overcome the reluctance to give up after the wasted years. When we meet again, we face it indifferently, only the memory makes a ripple in the bottom of my heart. Time has the ability to destroy beauty and repair beauty. For the choices in life, time can heal the wounds, and only leave a sweet and quiet in the bottom of my heart. It's so cliché, yet so romantic and sad. In 1964, 20-year-old Deneuve was truly heartbreaking

    This film is actually not sweet at all, it's just an abusive essay...

  • Madame Emery: There's no reason for sulking. You're tired, but you're not dying.

    Madame Emery: Don't start that again.

    Geneviève Emery: If I knew where he was, I could write to him. I'm sure they've sent him someplace dangerous where he's risking his life.
