Not to mention the intrusive opening of the film, I want to start with the audience group portrait of the concert. Regarding the group portraits, I took a screenshot and asked my mother to guess who among these people is the protagonist of the film. My mother didn't guess, probably because I didn't see the exquisite performances of the two old dramas that were indistinguishable from the bones. And at a glance, I saw the only lady in a white shirt who was in high spirits. She sat in the crowd without saying a word, and I seemed to see the young and beautiful girl in "Hiroshima Love". Even now, the innocence in her eyes is still there, as if she was still the same girl, despite her gray hair.
The concert is the only outside location in the film, and all the rest of the story takes place in the spacious, bright, old house full of nostalgia and art where the couple lived. I have to say that the romantic and elegant temperament of the French is deeply rooted, whether it is the green velvet nightgown on Amour's body, or the oil paintings on the wall that are boldly connected by the director to boost emotions, or those delayed for 3 seconds or even 5 seconds. The wonderful rhythm formed by the stop-motion shots of more than a second is filled with a calm, peaceful and quiet romantic atmosphere.
As I perceive the final expression of the film: the years are quiet, and there is no cause and effect. He played the piano until he stopped abruptly; he kept his eyes wide open in the dark without saying a word; he
dreamed of stepping in shallow water and being strangled from behind;
She opened the window at home and wanted to end herself; her face flushed like a ripe persimmon due to incontinence; she tried to resist the disease again and again, but was beaten down mercilessly by it again and again, and the only trace of dignity that remained was turned into the crevices of her mouth. The "pain" that burst out...
He opened the disc player and looked at the piano and imagined that she was sitting there playing a piano piece in G minor, he held her hand and told her the story of her childhood, he cut every little flower with scissors and let her die in the most beautiful way, he Taken by her, out of the old house, but I don't think he's going to walk out of all the memories of his entire life.
The sentences in these movies are actually the paragraphs that happen every day in real life.
You may be 20 years old, 30 years old, 40 years old, 50 years old now, maybe you are still alone, maybe you have a bond in your heart, maybe your children have grown up, maybe you have begun to enjoy life in this world Every day...then have you ever wondered what you look like at 80? Is it the same as them, living in an old house and turning all love into patience to race against time?
But please don't be pessimistic, Haneke shows us only one possibility, there are thousands of possibilities in the world waiting for us to figure out and experience. What the film itself does not contain, is in your heart. It's like time doesn't say a word, it just silently changes you and me.
As long as a day, as long as a lifetime, no one expects you to have a beginning and an end to everything. Although no one does not want to hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son.
For some reason, my favorite sequence is their daughter's first visit in the film. She said: "As soon as I entered the door, I remembered that I often heard you have sex when I was a child, which reassured me. It means that you are very loving and the family will never be separated." Happily in love for many, many years. It was also from this sentence that tears filled my eyes until I saw the silent ending at the end.
