Better than I imagined. The rhythm of the dialogue is tight, the actors act like gods, and the story of a French female singer and a German army officer is inserted in the middle. The actors perform and recite lines in an exaggerated manner that belongs to the era of black and white silent films, creating a strange sense of alienation.
Back to the two prisoners.
If everyone has a life theme, then Valentin's life theme is revolution/revolution, a lofty ideal, and the liberation of all mankind; while Molina's life theme is love; in Wang Xiaobo's words, it is a Mozi-style combination of love the world.
Molina is already old, and the color fade that cannot be concealed by the powder and clothes is frightening. I was young, beautiful, and had a beautiful body, but now there is only love, mother, and some movie memories. Valentin is not old yet. Revolution does not make people look old. He is full of noble motives, great cause.
The most touching scene in the movie is Valentin's diarrhea, and Molina cleans it up for him. What movie, other than a cult movie, dares to make a scene like this? A plot that is obviously so filthy was filmed by the director calmly, calmly and tenderly; the actor acted so well that he could not see any disgust in him, patient, gentle, professional, sympathetic but understanding not to let sympathy be revealed; At this moment all he has is love, and he forgot about revolution; it couldn't have been better.
Go to work, come back and make up your mind.
