Cannes darling, Quebec Light, born in 1989, the young Canadian director Xavier Dolan, it is said that he was only nineteen years old when he directed this film, while Chinese people of the same age are preparing for the college entrance examination. Said to be a miracle. The film is a French-language film, written, directed and starred by Xavier Dolan, and was released in Canada in 2010.
The story told in the film is avant-garde and true: two close friends of the opposite sex, Français (Français) and Marrie (Mary), fall in love with a handsome boy, Nicolas (Nicolas), who is new to the town, which leads to their inner entanglements, even because of Jealousy turned against each other and scuffled, until Nicholas left the town, the two were reconciled; when they saw him again, the two were attracted by him again, although Francis burst into a howl of pain on the spot, but the two still couldn't help it. Going to it, the same plot may be staged again...
In the film, Xavier tells the audience the theme he wants to express through a lot of gorgeous slow motion: real love in fantasy. When Nicholas first appeared at a party at Francis and Mary's apartment, the two friends were standing side by side in the kitchen chopping vegetables, and they were both attracted to this handsome boy with curly brown hair, an edgy love triangle story. Expand...
Nicholas's beauty is indescribable in words. He has brown curly hair, a charming smile, and seductive eyes. He also loves poetry, philosophy and art. Extraordinary magic. The two friends received a letter from him at the same time, inviting them to a coffee shop, so the two couldn't hide their joy in their hearts. When I walked towards Nicholas, I realized that they were all invited, so a trace of jealousy gradually surfaced on the faces of the two...
The soundtrack here is the Italian song "Bang Bang", which is very effective with Xavier's gorgeous slow motion, and appropriately describes the subtle inner activities of the protagonists. The singer Dalida (Dalida) is an Italian-French singer. and actress, born in Egypt in 1933 to Italian parents, began a 31-year singing career in 1956 and committed suicide in 1987. The singer's legendary career also brings a touch of alternative mystery to the film.
Montreal is known as the most habitable city because of its beautiful natural environment, especially when the golden leaves in autumn fall, forming a thick "carpet" of fallen leaves on the ground, shot against such a beautiful background The scuffle scene is even more artistic. At this time, Francis and Nicholas are in a period of "love", while Mary is like a wounded beast, with red high heels dragging on the ground, symbolizing the flame of jealousy burning in her heart, pushing her suitcase to want to be alone She left, and her close friend Francis, who happened to arrive, fell on the "golden carpet" and scuffled, like two lions fighting for territory. At this time, Nicholas looked at the funny scene in front of him and said "Mes amis." (my friends) did not feel the irony.
When Nicholas said to Mary at a party: "Tu as les beaux yeux." (you have a pair of beautiful eyes), Mary couldn't hide her excitement under the jealous eyes of the beauties, she raised her head proudly, He turned his face and took a sip of the wine, enjoying the joy.
When Nicholas faded out of sight, Mary fell into deep thoughts. She wrote to him, looking for the poems he once recited, trying to fill the void in her heart. Fantastic love devoured her little by little, until one day she accidentally bumped into Nicholas on the street. She pushed open the door of the cafe in ecstasy, chased after him and grabbed his wrist, chatting to him about her own experience and experience of poetry, excited she opened the cigarette case, and wanted to ignite a cigarette with the phosphor coating on the cigarette case. When he was smoking a cigarette, he found that he could not light it anyway, and Nicholas had disappeared at this time. At this time, the camera switched to the legs of Mary sitting on the steps, and the cigarette butts that kept rolling down from the legs.
After Nicholas left town, the two friends eventually reunited. It wasn't until they saw him again at a party in another city that Frases burst into a howl of pain and rested his head on Mary's shoulder. The gay boy had previously confessed to Nicholas, calling him "l'homme ouvre mon esprit" (the man who opened my spirit), to which Nicholas did not know how to respond.
The tone of the whole film is gloomy, and the gorgeous slow motion of the blockbuster shows Xavier's inner sensitivity and fragility. However, his honest style, the courage to face the true emotions in his heart, and the works expressed in an artistic way are not more real. ?
