Sometimes you just want results

Once I had a friend who played with flowers, and she enjoyed all kinds of love every day when I was still reading books according to the rules. She once said to me: Love, enjoyment is just a process, there is no need to be too obsessed with the results, otherwise the good feeling of love will be gone.

She is getting married recently, and I am quite surprised. I always thought she was the type who never touched her body among the flowers and plants. When asked why, the answer was: In fact, everyone still has a fairy tale ending as a wish to store in their hearts. If you can get such an outcome, just marry.

After watching "The Long Engagement" tonight, I have strengthened my thinking even more. The reason why so many people are disappointed is that we are inherently obsessed with results.

The protagonist Matilda is such a person.

In 1917, the specter of World War I swept across Europe brutally. Most people understand that it is a terrifying slaughterhouse, and they are not willing to serve as meaningless cannon fodder. Several soldiers would rather seek an amnesty in a perverted way of self-mutilation. As a result, he was exiled to the three-needle zone between the two armies, and he died on his own. Among them is our male protagonist, with clear eyes and childlike innocence. (Oh!!! The hero is played by Gaspard Ulliel, who is so handsome in "Hannibal" and this film!) The

scene immediately switches to the postwar, Brittany Peaceful cottage by the sea. His young and beautiful fiancée is still waiting, despite having received his death notice. But the result in my heart always gave me a positive reminder: if the ticket inspector didn't show up on the count of 7, if I got to the corner before the car, if the apple hadn't been peeled off... Countless times it's pointless The hint just wanted to keep the thought in his heart: Mane will come back alive.

In order to make this hope a real result, I will not let go of every trace of him. A detective with an unlucky name but a good heart helps, the postman always shows his style in a cool way when delivering letters, and the archives carefully steal state secrets about him regardless of the danger, when someone really makes her discouraged Time slapped him hard. "Mane will come back alive! You will definitely come back alive!!"

Maybe it was yin and yang, maybe it was a coincidence, after countless misunderstandings, the director finally mercifully let the two meet. It's just that he lost his memory a little bit, but he still asked gently, "Does it hurt to walk with a limp?" This is what he said to her when they first met.

It doesn't hurt, as long as I can find you, it doesn't hurt to walk on my knees.

In the warm sunshine, she looked at her, she looked at her, elle le regarde, elle le regarde, elle le ragarde.

I hope this is the case, the years are quiet.

Always be so persistent, persistent, and the final outcome will be as one wishes. This kind of happiness is warm after all, and it is also the reason why I like this movie.

Secondly, the film is better than the details, and many tiny details connect this misunderstanding without any leakage. The colors are very bright, like an oil painting, rendering the literary and artistic tone of a typical French film.

Except for the handsome and terrifying hero, the heroine is played by my favorite Audrey Tatu. I like her not because of her most famous "Angel Amelie", but because of her clean temperament without any western feeling. At a time when many people are fascinated by Sophie Marceau's style, Audrey always gives me a feeling of spring breeze. This time, her performance did not disappoint.

There is also one of the supporting roles, played by Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard. I didn't know much about her before, and sometimes I felt that her performance was a bit deliberately forceful, but her advertisement for Dior's Lady Bag was really stunning. After watching this movie, I feel that the Oscar-winning actress still relies on her strength to speak.

Are you still struggling for someone or something? Then watch this movie, it will give you the warm strength to persevere. Like the end of the movie, the breeze is blowing and the sun is basking.
