Before watching the film "Amour", I happened to watch the classic Spanish mime "Andrew and Dolini", and the similar situation made the entanglement when watching the film even more . Compared with the cold "Love", the mime seems to be much warmer, although the ending is unavoidable aging and death. If "Andrew and Doliny" wraps death with superficial joy, then "Love" confesses death with sober and quiet rational thinking.
In this life, people are all facing the final day. This is a one-way line that can see the end, and there is no turning back. In the process of running all the way to the terminal, many people hope to be happy enough to live, but there are Being alive is a cruel thing, especially when a person is old and frail, paralyzed in bed, and his mouth and eyes are crooked. If the sense of dignity as a person is still strong at this time, then the pain felt here will be doubled, so The coming of death becomes a kind of forgiveness. In the film, the two old people who live by music have been with each other for a lifetime. They live a peaceful and harmonious life, and are rich in literature and art. After his wife, Annie, fell ill, her husband, George, who was ill with legs and feet, took on the job of nursing. In this witness The audience suffers just as much as George as Anne moves toward death.
It can be said that this is a film that sneaks into the deepest part of people's hearts with meticulous details, and it is also a film that drives the story forward with the delicate and vivid performance of the lead actor, thus causing deep thinking. Elie Emmanuelle Riva in "Love in Hiroshima" is 85 years old, and the other star Jane-Louis Trintignant is also 82 years old. The god-level performance of these two old people is like water. The traceless real nature, unpretentious, and always revealing the irresistible cruelty in the calm and introverted.
Riva performed the helplessness and pain of the lady who was graceful and charming not long ago on the sickbed, and one of the biggest pains was her sensitive heart as an artist, this heart The embarrassment, sadness and despair she felt after the onset of the illness were inexhaustible, and the other kind of pain was that she could not bear her beloved husband to see her now completely undignified, her uncooperative and inner world collapsed and George The increasingly weak and helpless grief and anger are all "traced" by the two actors, making the viewer's heart like a white porcelain vase with many cracks, even if the bright and pure white on the surface can hide the cracks from a distance, but the inside broken.
The films directed by Michael Haneke usually have a stern and alienated temperament, and sometimes give the audience a sense of peeping at the people in the film, and not only peep into the behavior, but also spy into the chasms in the characters' inner world, even every time. The rise and fall of ideas. In the film, there are two scenes of the pigeon entering the apartment by mistake. The first time George drives it away, when Anne is resting on the sickbed in the bedroom, and the second time, George stumbles in the corridor of the apartment, which seems to be very empty. Live it, and wrap it in the fabric to hold it in my arms, as if to embrace the life and life that has passed. This set of contrasts is presented quietly and patiently, making the audience seem to hear the voice of cruel demise in the passage of the picture, and it also makes the doubts of the so-called defenders of mainstream orthodox values irresistible.
The application of several classical piano pieces in the film gives people the feeling that the color of life is fleeting, and the daughter hastily withdrawn from her own life and came to question her father several times, which reflects that many cannot stay at all times. The seemingly caring behaviors of the people at the hospital bed are actually just nutritious behaviors that add to the block, although their concerns and worries are also from the heart.
