The scenery of Rohmai's movie is really beautiful. In the film, the male protagonist drives a boat on the rippling lake, and the scenery of swans swimming in the middle is really beautiful, like a fairyland, which is refreshing.
Against the backdrop of rolling mountains and white clouds, when the boat slowly passed a small bridge, the people on the bridge and the people on the boat entered the eyes of the audience at the same time, forming a beautiful scene. This scene is very beautiful. The people on the bridge are There is a landscape, and the people on the boat are also a landscape. They look at each other, and they are the scenery in each other's eyes, but they are in different spaces and positions, and they feel like they are in different worlds.
People are swimming in the middle of the painting, looking at each other, unable to distinguish who is the scenery and who is the person watching the scenery, I remember the famous poem "Broken Chapter" by the poet Bian Zhilin, "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, look at the scenery. People look at you upstairs, the moon decorates your windows, you decorate other people's dreams."
Three perspectives are presented in the movie, the person standing on the bridge watching the scenery looks at the person on the boat, the person on the boat looks at the scenery on the bridge, the person watching the movie looks at the person on the bridge and the person on the boat, sitting on the boat The person on the bridge looks at the person on the bridge, the person on the boat is the scenery that is seen, and the person watching the scenery on the bridge is not a scenery that the person in the boat sees? Therefore, the person being watched is a landscape, and the viewer is the person watching the scenery. This perspective is constantly changing, so we are the person watching the scenery and the scenery being watched, depending on our position and perspective.
The scenery is a kind of beauty formed by distance, because the sense of space forms a kind of comfort and freedom, so it appears beautiful. This kind of perspective is very interesting. For the audience watching the scenery, they are all part of the scenery. They see each other as a scenery and look at each other from a distance. However, the male protagonist seems to be wandering in it, very indifferent to the scenery. The scenery is integrated, and in the view of the female writer on the bridge, it is a kind of scenery.
The female writer waved her hand, the two people in the painting, the two different landscapes merged on the bridge, and they became one person in the picture. I think, the transformation of this space implies people's own sense of space. In one's own space and world, at a certain time, they are in the same space and in the same world. This intersection and sense of space form a sense of beauty.
It is from this perspective that the story unfolds. The male protagonist talks about his marriage plan, "I won't look at other women again", which seems to explain the reason why he doesn't particularly care about the surrounding scenery in such a beautiful scenery. It seems that he is implying that he is married, but his actions are very active. He embraces his opposite-sex friends enthusiastically, and grabs each other's hands so enthusiastically that the female writer has to be defensive. It's like doing Tai Chi.
It can be seen that the male protagonist is a very enthusiastic person, but there is some kind of warning in this enthusiasm. I am a person who is about to get married. The female writer has changed from actively greeting to passive defense. The actions of the male protagonist are both aggressive. Sex, has a strong sense of defense, he is excited about being favored by female friends, and at the same time, he is very alert, seemingly enthusiastic, but he refuses to establish a relationship with words, he is an established The world, a world that others are not allowed to enter, this world is that he is married. This feeling of mutual attraction and mutual exclusion may be exactly what the director Rohmer wants to tell the audience, that it is necessary to maintain a relationship between people. An appropriate distance, too close can be suffocating, disturbing, and feel violated.
The male protagonist has his own interpretation of the state of being separated from his girlfriend. He thinks that it is enough for the two to feel that they are not bored with each other. In the eyes of others, they are not suitable, but he seems to have no discomfort with this state of gathering less and more. The two people are attracted to each other while maintaining their own independent space and freedom, which is a kind of comfort to him, Although it seems to the audience that he is estranged from his girlfriend, the real distance is not entirely in the spatial distance, but also in the psychological distance. Whether or not to agree with each other's ideas and freedom is what the actor values, so he did not hesitate to choose Get married, sell your house here, and prepare to live the life you choose.
In the face of the girl's enthusiasm, he is indifferent. The girl's good impression of him not only comes from his masculine charm and maturity, but also the desire brought by the lack of father's love.
The male protagonist admits that the young and sexy girl Claire has aroused his desire and caused agitation, but as a mature man, he is rational, has a mature outlook on life and a life partner who wants to live together, so he only At some point, he will briefly take the opportunity to satisfy his own desires, but he will restrain himself rationally. I think this is a description of Rohmer's middle-aged mature men.
The female writer obviously has a good impression of the male lead, but they are all rational and keep the distance of adults. He told her that he was going to marry the girlfriend who had never appeared. The will was determined, and the male lead could be seen. There is a good impression with the female writer, but they have not reached the level of love and marriage. The male protagonist admits that the female writer is not young enough, but he pursues young girls, but tells his friends that he values his inner values more, which shows that the male protagonist is clear about the life he wants, so he is not so easily caught. Seductive, he already has the life he wants and is satisfied with his choice.
The interaction between the male protagonist and the three women shows his view of the world. He enjoys the admiration and love of some Electra girls, but he will not give up his mature concept of marriage because of this. This is probably what Rohmer wants to tell the audience, what a mature and rational man looks like.
