The title is "First Night", which is a novel from the third period of harvest. It is not well written, but the mention of "Ancestor and Zhan" is actually another expression of this film. Honestly, I haven't gotten to the point where I can fully appreciate this movie, but the best is always the best.

Zhuan: Zu and Zhan met each other at their best age.
Zu is a young German, who is a stranger in Paris alone, and Zhan is a handsome French man who enjoys life in Paris.
They meet. Zu Wen is erudite and suave. Zu is calm and introverted, and has a lot of girlfriends. Everyone spends this inexhaustible golden time in Paris, no matter whether it is Paris or this little individual Zu Yuzhan.
Such a youthful spirit, as if Li Bai and Du Fu first met, five-colored horses, a thousand golden furs, and Hu'er will come out for wine; it also seems that Su Shizi has been a young man since the beginning, and they are visiting Chang'an together.
until she showed up.
With arrogant lips, looking down on the faces of all beings, many years later, Zu said: She is not necessarily so beautiful, so smart, so gentle - but we really love her.
This woman will not be buried in the sea of ​​people. She is not easy to be happy, but laughs like a child; she is easy to be satisfied, but she has eternal delusions and longings in her heart - this is a woman with such a strong vitality, so strong Life has often become a humiliation to her.
It is a kind of natural force, for no reason, but it is powerful and raging, so that the bearer of life itself is also easily captured.
Zu understands her and is deeply infatuated with her.

The ancestor is a plain, broad and peaceful, as if there is some mystery, but in fact there is no, it is just a plain, an endless plain.
For her, it wasn't enough. She is the sea, calm when the wind is sunny, landslides and tsunamis when the wind is raining—the plains are just a peaceful delusion to her, and they are not worth cherishing when they are satisfied.
Her only suspense is: what is accounting? This lifelong friend of her husband, this man is invincible in women, just like his victory over men, he exists far away in his life, as if he has feelings, as if he has no intention.
Zu begged Zhan: She loves you, stay. I'm used to her loving others, I just can't bear not seeing her again.

Accounted for a bit confused.
The tears of the girls who were crying and begging him not to leave did not confuse him; thinking of Zu in the trenches and the warm long kisses and warm flesh in Paris did not confuse him; even waiting for her in the cafe for 50 minutes didn't come, at night. She said that she wanted to marry Zu, but he did not confuse him; in Paris, Zu and Zhan were with her, the three of them dressed up as elegant boys to play together, and she jumped into the river without a word — at that moment, he just admired and admire. But Dangzu said, "She loves you, stay. I'm used to her loving others, but I just can't bear not seeing her again." Zhan was confused for a moment.
He stayed and shared a room with her. Zu took their daughter to another room.
Si Jun makes you old, and the years are suddenly too late.

In the end, we have to separate, Zu and Zhan, and Zhan and her.
She is the woman who wants to be the center of love, not to burn, but to die. There was no rot in her life.
So she and Zhan finally separated.
Zu was still by her side - when a man was so determined to protect a woman, there was probably nothing to separate them unless one of the two died first.
Sometimes she still thinks of Zhan in a daze, and with other men, she will come when she wants, and she will leave when she likes it. Only he came to her if he wanted to, and left if he wanted to go. She never got him in her life.

many years later.
Zhan meets his ancestors on the street. Suddenly startled: the faces of the two men were covered with frost, and before they knew it, the best time in their lives had passed.
Zu and her settled in Paris.
Zhan likes to be with Zu, but dislikes her. She looked at him calmly.
Early in the morning, Zhan heard the shrill car horn downstairs and stuck her head out. She was driving around the square like crazy, shrill and desperate. Zhan watched for a moment, then returned to the bed. The woman beside him had waited for him for half his life, and he should not let him down again.

this day. The breeze was blowing, and the sky was fragrant.
Zu and Zhan and her, the three of them drove to the countryside to play.
She called Zhan into the car, and then called: Zu, look at us!
The car started, and went all the way to the end of the broken bridge.

In the best time of his life, Zu's life was messed up by her, and in the end there were only two bottles of ashes left, two of his best. But he didn't regret meeting her. If a person has ever been destroyed by a terrifyingly beautiful force of nature, he will be deeply grateful for the privilege of seeing this beauty for the rest of his life.
The best time in my life, in this film, I love that part: Zu painted a woman's profile on the table, and he wanted to buy that table from the bar owner. The owner said: If you want to buy it, just buy all 12 go.
At that time, I was a little confused. I know that Zu is the plain, she is the sea, and the two people's mental journey is clear, but I don't know how to account, I'm afraid he doesn't know himself, his best time, best respect, best friendship, best All his love was left to Zu, when he separated from Zu and returned to the bar in Paris again, everyone came to ask: Are you okay? Did Zu not come? There must be a sigh in his heart... But we still have to survive. After the best time in our lives, we still have to survive. This is the hardest thing.
Si Jun makes you old, and the years are suddenly too late.

Jules and Jim quotes

  • Jules: The most important factor in any relationship is the woman's fidelity. The husband's is secondary. Who was it who wrote, "Woman is natural, therefore abominable?"

    Jim: Baudelaire, but he was describing a certain world.

    Jules: Not at all. He spoke of women in general. What he says about a young girl is magnificent: "Horror, monster, assassin of the arts, little fool, little slut. The greatest idiocy combined with the greatest depravity." Wait. I'm not finished. This is marvelous: "I'm always astonished they allow women inside churches. What could they possibly have to say to God?"

    Catherine: You're both fools.

  • Jim: I understand.

    Catherine: I don't want to be understood. It's almost dawn.
