The face of love, in everyone's eyes, has its unique appearance. But one thing's for sure, it's never a one-way thing, it's a two-way thing. Love radiates out and reflects back, and there is constant feedback, which makes us constantly revise ourselves and each other to achieve a certain degree of tacit understanding. However, this self-sacrificing tacit understanding sometimes collapses due to all kinds of trivial and cruel squeezes in reality, and the two of them lose the balance maintained by tension and fall into despair. At such a moment, abandonment is a choice, there is no right or wrong, it only depends on a momentary thought of the two.
Therefore, at the end of the film, when the relationship between the two has reached the point where the water is overwhelmed, the appearance of that subtle and sincere turning point is also the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. Some people thought it was Happy Ending, and the director replied meaningfully, "You think it's Happy Ending, of course it's a good thing, and there is hope." The words seem to imply another possibility, that people can't communicate with each other in the end— — that was a desperate compromise.
The branches of the theme of love in this film are really stretched too far, and almost all stages, states, and possibilities can be involved. From the difference in consciousness between men and women, to the perspective and way of dealing with problems, to the complex relationship between family members, to the impact of work on the family status of men and women, to the concept and attitude of men and women towards sex, to. . . It's better to say this, but all the elements in this universe that will be discounted in love are included in this film. Of course, as the third film in a series, this film's discussion of love focuses on the problems faced by the two people at their age, that is, back to what Jolie said, "a point in time" . Among them, the influence of age, experience, social role and other factors on love is very clear and is at the peak of a life. If there is no type of love that we can call perfect, then the hero and heroine in the film are at least in a perfect moment of love.
Those familiar with the "love series" (in fact, the series has no official name) know that they basically consist of long shots and dialogue. Yes, how is it possible to tell a wonderful love story in this audio-visual way that should sound boring? That's exactly what makes this film astounding. On top of the vivid and real dialogue that fits well with life, the state of the two characters is changing rapidly without pause. It is the smallest thing and the smallest reaction. The state of the two will be contained, thus attracting the attention of the audience. Can't get distracted. And even the most ordinary audience, it is not difficult to see how difficult it is to shoot this movie. The performance of the actors, the seamless cooperation between them, and the running-in between them and the photography are all like their own roles- Like a couple, they are as close as ever.
"Before Midnight" is the third in a series of films directed by Richard Linklater and the two starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. The first two are "Before Dawn" and "Before Dusk" ". Fans have waited for 9 years, and it has been 18 years since the first film was released. Such a long interval hardly exists in other film series. However, judging from the audience's reaction, the quality of the film is still It makes most of the fans who stick to it feel very worthwhile.
