Shimbashi Lover is a movie that I've always wanted to see but hadn't touched until this summer vacation. As a romance film, the part and way of showing love is very different from ordinary romance films. The overall feel of the film is experimental, with the high-speed moving shots reminiscent of Wong Kar-Wai; the fantasy part is much more than reality, and to use an inappropriate analogy, Karax is creatively shooting a feature film Jin Min; The display of ugliness, deceit and selfishness in love is easily reminiscent of the filthy river at the beginning of "Suzhou River". The two people who took physical disability as the prerequisite for equality, what they experienced together on the night of the French National Day was far more grand and grand than the national ceremony. Starting from classical music, through opera, jazz, and finally to electronic music that symbolizes modern and contemporary, the two people penetrated history together in one night. It may be the most ardent romance in the world, but it is as thrilling as the night of fireworks, bullets shot into the sky, and speedboats zipping down the river. After that night, it seems hard to have any more worry-free days. Although the juggler and the painter are still equal, the overall atmosphere always gives a hint of a relationship crisis. It is hard not to think that the painter is the daughter of the colonel, and the juggler is just a homeless person with no relatives. Everything is not very soft. Lies and selfishness burn down the painter's personal portraits like fire, and even the lives of innocent people are destroyed; the ugly things in love appear frequently, just like a juggler's drunken self-abuse left behind. Scars on the body. However, he could not keep the painter after all, and the relationship between the two fell apart as the painter's body became complete. I thought the story should end here, but what turned out in the end was that the former lovers met on Christmas Day—the day that represents the holy and the rebirth, the day that gives the world a chance to wash away sins—at the new bridge, everything All seem to be full of new hope. After both fell into the water, the two also boarded the ship that left Paris and went to the ocean. It's just that we can no longer know whether such a beautiful and hopeful passage is a turning point in reality or a fantasy made to make up for the shortcomings.
