This is one of my favorite movies so far. I have watched it many times without writing a review. Today I will talk about my feelings about this movie from four perspectives. Share your views with everyone.
Compared:
The whole film has a strong sense of contrast. In the context of the war, the first half of the film describes Germany and the second half describes France. In the process of comparison, it reflects the same, the same hatred, pain and sadness under the war, or is it to reduce Painful shirk on both sides. Expressing the same in a way of contrast gives me a very strong feeling.
There is a strong contrast between Anna's chorus of the Marseille March in France and the chorus that Adrian heard in Germany. When Anna came to Paris, she felt the same thing that Adrian felt. Helpless, right and wrong under war are no longer so absolute.
color:
Has anyone also noticed that the beginning is the only picture where color and black and white coexist. The whole city is shrouded in black. The protagonist Adrian symbolizes that color and goes to a strange city in an attempt to use the truth to comfort the family's wounded hearts, but also Foreshadowing for the future, this color is illusory, unreal, and beautiful, so the contrast between black and white and color after the beginning of the main film is more ironic and strong. When color appears, it is illusory, an untrue lie, when black and white appears, it is real, and it is pain. The interweaving of truth and lies makes the line between them less clear.
Truth and Lies:
Anna asked the priest if he should confess. What can the priest tell the truth? Only tears and more pain. When the lie that started from Adrian was transferred to Anna, Anna also accepted and forgave herself from this heavy lie. Lies may be more powerful than the truth. The truth is blunt, and the lie is flexible. Being in a lie, I understand how painful the truth is. Well, right, a lie doesn't deceive something, it makes you see something.
Anna meets Adrian in France and says "they forgive you" because Franz's parents don't know the truth, which is obviously a lie. But when asked later if Anna forgiven, Anna said "me too". I think it's the truth and Anna accepts and forgives Adrian.
The final parting kiss was perhaps the most authentic response Adrian could give. Since then, Adrian will be shrouded in lies to deceive himself.
emotion:
It is worth mentioning that in the dialogue between Anna and the priest, why did the priest ask Anna how she felt about the Frenchman at the end, I think maybe the priest has spied on the deepest part of the lie, which is to lie in order to make Franz's parents no longer. Pain, and part of it is that Anna lied for Adrian's inner relief, and continued this lie. The sentence "I don't know" reflects the unacceptable feeling that Anna buried in her heart.
In order to find the "we are friends" that Adrian lied to her aunt, the deeper part is to hide her inner feelings and prevent others from seeing through. Adrian's lying "we are friends" in order to confess is cowardly towards the truth, Two people go through the same experience, but the reasons are long gone.
When Fanny and Adrian's mother saw Anna, they already knew the deep affection between the two from their eyes. When Fanny gave Anna the clothes, she said, "The one we love cannot be replaced." When the three played together , Fanny's sad expression when she sang "My love is gone" and Anna Lisi's Adrian's mother said, "Come and grab our Adrian".
Adrian's cowardice in confessing the truth is not only about telling the story that he killed Franz, but also about his feelings and his mother (as can be seen from her behavior and address to him). He loves Anna, but he can't live up to Fanny or disobey his mother, so he pushes Anna away, unwilling to look directly at his emotions. Adrian has lived his whole life for others, and Anna's journey to find herself has come to an abrupt end.
end:
I rarely see anyone talking about this, and I was very puzzled at first. Many friends felt different when they saw it. Some felt that Anna did not come out, and some felt that she had let go. Here I talk about my feelings.
I always felt that the person who watched the painting with Anna at the end was very similar to the combination of Adrian and Franz. I wonder if everyone feels this way. When she replies to this person that this "suicide" makes her want to live, I think she is saying goodbye to the dead Franz and the lost love Adrian, and finally ends in color. I would rather believe it was an upward ending, she finally let it go, this oil painting appeared many times throughout the film, filled with death and unspeakable sadness, and the last painting is the emotional pain for the three of them Let go of the past, kill the past self, and be reborn in Nirvana.
