Naive or arrogant?

Movie viewing experience: This is an old movie within an old movie. It is very suitable for turning off the lights when you are lonely, and taking a bottle of wine and watching it yourself. It's even worth watching a few more times.

A movie that clearly sets the city, but makes people feel like they are in a wasteland. A little at a loss. Depressed. The process of watching a movie seems to be searching for one's own soul. Shocked and healed.

The movie begins with an estranged breakup.

The buzzing and annoying electric fan, the male lead's forbearance gentleman, and the heroine's gloomy decision.

The heroine walks around revealing anxiety and sadness. This sentiment persists throughout the show. There is a theory in psychology that anxiety comes from subconscious fear. Where does the heroine's fear come from? I personally understand that on the one hand, there is the fear of losing a stable life, which was also reflected in the later dialogue with my mother. On the other hand, they are afraid of the pale emptiness of life, and everyone lives in twisting, silence, and depression. (As for the fear related to nuclear weapons mentioned in the movie, some people say that people in the whole country are suppressed by this kind of fear, but the magic is that the male protagonist escapes and the female protagonist is wanton. It seems that there is no such emotion.)

The heroine opens the curtains in turn, and the atmosphere of the picture changes from an anxious illusion to a stable reality. There is a feeling of dust settlement both emotionally and in the plot. A breakup that has been tangled up all night ends with the feeling of being able to breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to the end. But note that this is not only the emotions of the viewers, but also the emotions of the heroine. This may be a metaphor for the heroine's break free from emotional bondage - she wants a little space and freedom too.

She walked slowly on the road, beside the neat and sparse buildings. (The picture is really beautiful, the movie can feel like an art painting)

The heroine doesn't smile much in the movie: the plane flew into the clouds, the three girlfriends danced the ancient dance in aprons, and the puppy hugged her...

Her heart is beautiful and pure, and she likes to be free.

But neither her ex-boyfriend, her mother, nor Alain Delon could match her three views. Even the surrounding environment is all indifferent, boring, money-worshiping, pale, emotionless, and uninteresting.

Even at the end of the plot, her soul is still nowhere to be placed.

This movie is definitely worth watching more than once. In every picture, the director and his unique aesthetic have constructed a modern art painting, and every line has the tension of the story.

Perhaps the atmosphere of life is relatively calm and soothing, and the people around me are not so sensitive and delicate. And the problem that the work wants to express is too far away from a young audience like me, so in my heart I think the heroine is really a bit of a "work", and I really can't agree with the core of the story.

Excessive output and blame for perfection are equal to hurting yourself. Since it has already been seen that the two sides cannot be compatible, why should they want to have sex with such a person, and have expectations. Don't say anything directly, what if he is willing to change for you? !

The ex-boyfriend has excellent artistic taste, and when he gets bored, he abandons it.

I like the rich and charming, but I dislike him for having no humanistic feelings.

Loneliness is self-inflicted...

Of course, people are beautiful, whatever you want!

  • Vittoria: Why do we ask so many questions? Two people shouldn't know each other too well if they want to fall in love. But, then, maybe they shouldn't fall in love at all.

  • Vittoria: As long as we were in love, we understood each other. There was nothing to understand.
