In my impression, "The Last Metro" was introduced to China a long time ago. I was young when I saw this movie, and I just remember that the story is very good, the heroine Deneuve is very elegant, and the French are so romantic! As for how to improve the Fa, I actually don't have much understanding. Rewatching it now, it's still fascinating.
This attraction does not come out of thin air. Truffaut in 1980 had bid farewell to the prose style of the French New Wave of his early years and returned to the classical theatre tradition. The charm of "The Last Subway" lies in its exquisite superimposed design of dramatic conflicts.
The story of the film is set in France during the German occupation. The original small theater run by Jewish artists will perform a new play under the nose of the Nazis. Dangers and threats are everywhere. This is the keynote of the film's dramatic conflict. On top of this, there is the emotional entanglement between the protagonist Mrs. Steiner between her husband and her lover - she is a responsible wife and protector, but she can't help but fall in love with the lover on the stage (with a pure face Depardieu). The two kinds of contradictions and conflicts are intertwined and magnified in the structure of a drama within a drama. The distance between the real and the illusory is a little blurred, and the danger of reality is getting closer... This is the nesting of multiple drama elements, creating A rare tension.
But at the same time, Truffaut is still the one who loves women and love. He said that this time, Deneuve will play a "responsible" woman. I guess this shows his tenacity, grace and heart for women. The infatuation of mighty power. "Stockings", an old stalk of Truffaut, reappears in the film: during the period of enemy occupation, stockings became a luxury item, and women began to draw black lines on their legs with pens. The instinctive pursuit of beauty and elegance.
The romance under Truffy's lens is not just for women. The artist hiding in the ground has been keenly aware of their mutual affection by eavesdropping on the conversation between his wife and Depardieu on stage. When seeing Depardieu, he asked lightly: Are you in love with her? She is in love with you too. Depardieu was not panicked, but only expressed his acquiescence with his eyes. At this time, the two men actually showed some kind of mutual understanding... This is the authentic French romance and elegance, and it is the cool kind.
