Some people say that the film's narration of life seems to discuss various issues in Shakespeare's way, survival and destruction, reality and imagination, nobility and humbleness, men and women, leaving a clear mark on everyone's only path. Since the birth of the film, there have been countless films about love, but very few have truly touched people's souls. Behind the scenes of a man and a woman's love story, Claude Cruche explores the conflicts of life, death, love, marriage, passion, eternity, and more. This literary romantic film expresses Lerouch's understanding and interpretation of the ultimate meaning of life in an aesthetic way. In the time and space of life frozen in the image, we can feel the love and memory that are inscribed on the cornerstone of life. Gorgeous and grand surging, so that life has a heavy weight. Love is a past in life, a meaning of existence, and a proof of existence. It makes the regret of death achieve eternity in the passion of love. When a kind of love slips from our fingertips, a new kind of love is quietly injected. When we recall, it is not a painful scar but a sweet kiss. Whenever we think of it, there will be a tide in our hearts. ups and downs.
The novelty of the film lies in the smoothness of the narrative, the wonderful use and control of montage, the alternation of reality and flashbacks, the charming background music, the mutual contrast between black and white and color, all of which have played a huge role in revealing the theme of the film. The style of the film is subtle and warm, and the image is smooth and fresh. At the beginning of the film, a parallel montage method was used to explain the background of the story. The heroine Anna took her daughter Franks to play in the port and told the story of Little Red Riding Hood and Bluebeard in a eloquent manner. The strong love was immediately infected. We, the camera cuts to the hero at the same time, Louis Drucker is teaching his son Anthony to drive by the sea, and occasionally gives a giggling happy laugh, they meet on the way back from taking the child to Deville boarding school, and Anna misses it because of missing Take the train and hitch a ride with Drucker. On the way, Anna tells him the love story of her deceased husband Pierre, a filmmaker and a stuntman. Anna's elegant, quiet, charming smile, like a cup of light tea, deeply attracted Louis, and thus opened the prelude to their love.
In order to better express the theme, Le Roouche made a fabled and deliberate treatment of the storyline. Louis is a racing driver who is always playing a game of death with madness and adventure. Her wife also committed suicide due to his accidental nervous breakdown. . This kind of professional nature is obviously opposed to the longevity of life and love and the happiness of marriage. He once said that racers are the most superstitious, and No. 13 and No. 17 are numbers that they will always hate, which also shows the deep heart of Louis. The fear of death and the fear of life that no one knows about. While Pierre worked as a stuntman, death and injuries were also present, and he eventually died in an accident. The ubiquitous confrontation between life and death also makes Anna's love adventurous and challenging to the brink of death. The confrontation between passion and marriage is too late to think about. When passion is lost, the substance of marriage shrinks into a mass of responsibility in a dried-up emotional sponge.
In the film, when a man and a woman are together, the picture always lacks color, but the camera is zoomed in very close, like the distance between lovers, and their subtle expressions can be seen clearly. They spend most of their time in the car, and the shimmer from the side hits Anna's face, framing the wonderful arc of the corners of her mouth. Her quietness and gentleness attracted Louis like a huge magnet, and she is the true love that Louis has been looking for. A race car pushed the relationship between the two to the top. What a simple congratulatory message "I love you, Anna" contains how much courage Anna is. When the two finally opened their hearts and embraced on the beach, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the beach, reflecting the happy smile of the lovers. The reality is calm but warm, just like an old man walking with a dog on the beach in the picture, like Anna and Louis playing happily with the children on the beach, like in the picture in the soft fog of lights, sitting Listening to children at the dinner table talk about their great ideals, life may be like this. But Anna's love for Louis is always implicit and restrained, because she can't let go of her husband Pierre, who has passed away but still loves deeply. Some people say that the biggest trouble of people is that their memory is too good. Everyone seems to have a painful past that makes people cry. Make the world go dark in an instant. The pictures about memories in the film are always bright and vivid, romantic and warm, and people do not want to forget. In Brazil, a place full of samba smiles, they ride horses and play together. Memory attempts to retain time, but the essence of time is irresistible, and what has left will never come back. In the face of real love, you can never escape, you can't turn a blind eye.
Even if you close your eyes, cover your ears, and flee to the end of the world, the love in your heart will still not be flat. Just like what Louis said, "When a painter encountered a fire, he chose a dog among a painting and a dog, because life is more important than art", the last two people embracing at the station also shows that Anna is in memory and reality Louis was chosen among them, because being loved is also a kind of happiness.
Men and women meet, fall in love, then get married and have children. This is a story that happens all the time. Love makes every fragile and weary heart find its own home. As said in "Song of Solomon" "No amount of water can quench love's thirst, not even a flood can drown love", because love never ends.
