more than love

The French are really good at making movies. This film has no soundtrack at all. Music only appears at the concert scene and in real scenes such as listening to CDs. At this time, silence is better than sound, especially the subtitles at the end of the film. Where did the uncle go? What is the visit? Missing the locked bedroom door and the seal on the crack? At that point, my heart was hanging. Silent Silence is a tribute to the deceased, a respect for life, and a sigh of humanity...
It is more than love, because this film reflects many issues that people are concerned about at the moment, the ethical issues of life and death, Children's support for their parents, the state's pension and medical issues. It seems that France has done a relatively complete welfare system. The two elderly people who are independent of their daughters do not have a lot of burden to ask for nursing care. The relatives are not staring at the hospital. It’s just speculation, or maybe it’s a cultural difference between China and foreign countries); secondly, in the dialogue between the daughter and her father, I learned that the daughter does not often contact her parents, and the two old people don’t know much about the generation gap, and they are more concerned about the daughter’s marriage. Don't interfere; in the end, it's about life and death. Ann said before that it's better to live than to die. The funeral of an old friend named Pierre had no dignity and was very dark humor. The uncle finally chose to end Ann's life this way, too Meaningful. With such a disease, I can't make a choice without any self-awareness. Out of the understanding of her life, I don't know whether the uncle wants to free himself or An.
Now let's talk about character analysis. Bang Long kicked the door all his life and started this movie. Ann in the bedroom was lying on the bed in a neat dress (later I contacted the uncle who said "You are so beautiful tonight", it should be that dress), The pillow was sprinkled with little flowers, and the other protagonist, the uncle, disappeared. The camera cuts to the performance scene, and it is impossible to see who is the protagonist in the bustling audience. This shooting method is very novel and simple. The simple apartment is full of books, paintings on the walls and proofs of various honors in life. Except for the piano CD player, there seems to be nothing else missing. Even if it is a bad thief, they are neither angry nor annoyed. Putting things on the next day's agenda, so that we know that the spiritual life of the old couple is rich and fulfilling, and they are not restrained by external things. In the morning, you have to be patient and watch them slowly get up from the chair and take it. Ann fell ill. The uncle left the tap running and hurried to get dressed to ask for help. The little details make this play very real, especially immersive. When An was about to be discharged from the hospital, her daughter came to visit, and finally said that when she was a child, she often heard the movements of her parents when they were making out, and felt that it was always so good, and the family was very close. The grandfathers and grandmothers in their 80s were also art workers when they were young. They were enthusiastic, romantic and warm. They should be the married life that everyone yearns for. When they get old, they make some kind jokes. The praise and respect between each other also make the relationship happy Festival heats up. There is a plot in the film, the uncle seems to ask "what's your impression of me", and the grandmother said restrainedly "sometimes like a beast, but very gentle". From the perspective of the whole article, the old grandmother is a very individual and independent person (yes, people are engaged in art), and she hopes to live with dignity and style, even if she is dead, so she refused to seek medical treatment and returned home. He was also very dissatisfied with the old man and asked to never go to the hospital again. Although his condition has improved, he is very dissatisfied with reality and does not look forward to the future. He is even more reluctant to talk about his condition with others. During the illness, he hopes that others will treat her the same as before, so that he does not agree with reality and does not yield. , seems to have brought endless troubles to the uncle... Let's talk about the uncle, the uncle is completely a positive image of a husband, and is an optimistic and positive person. He strives to accept his wife's illness and take good care of her. When the disease was the most serious, I repeated the nursery rhyme over and over again (this became the biggest crying point when I watched this film. Every day I watched my beloved disappear from this body little by little. The old lady became a father and mother, sang, fed, and urinated), but in the end, his patience and reason were exhausted, and he tried his best to The greatest ability allowed her to survive, but she resisted. That slap was all his outbursts, all his dissatisfaction, and then endless guilt and remorse. He tried to hide it, but he couldn't hide it from himself. He couldn't last long either. After his story was told, she became quiet. Even if there was no thinking, she would finally remember his peaceful face and gentle tone, as well as the bright and beautiful days when he was a child. He suddenly exploded like a beast, which proved that Her impression, and what she got can be regarded as rest in peace... But I have to say that the uncle's final handling was as if none of this had happened, as if he had gone far away, and he could still share his life with him at ease. All the little things in it seem like a twisted way of handling things, but maybe this is what Ann wants.
I remember my grandparents often jokingly said that the first thing that the person who wakes up early every morning is to lean down and feel if the other person is breathing. Leave peacefully. I also went through the recovery period of being discharged from the hospital and returning home. My grandparents clearly cared about each other very much, and even cared about the level of surveillance at one time, and then they would bicker or exchange information every day by reading books and newspapers. The days seem ordinary, but the relationship has been sublimated. As a young person, losing a partner is a sad thing, but for the elderly, what they have in common is the past life of knowing each other and loving each other, which is enough.
So, when did you come to pick me up with the colorful auspicious clouds?
ps don't shoot, this is the first time to post a movie review

    The love that came together in the first place has been praised too much, but how many are the poor, the poor, the poor, the rich, the noble, the health and the disease, and have come to the end. What my sister cried out was neither pity nor emotion, but all regret! When I was young and ignorant, I did not take good care of my loved ones in pain. Emotions also need to be learned. Although he has a prejudice against Haneke, this move does not have a sword in his hand but has a sword in his heart. Kneeling for grandma and grandma's acting orz

    I shed tears without knowing it, that parting story is really unbearable by anyone. Finally, there was a magical ending, closing the door and leaving as usual, the difference was that no one was waiting for anyone to return. The two old people did not discuss the future, life and death, but each of their actions was concerned with each other. Such a story, how should people believe in love but pity on its perishability! Worthy of Palme d’Or’s annual masterpiece! The two actors are so nice

Amour quotes

  • Anne: What would you say if no one came to your funeral?

    Georges: Nothing, presumably.

  • Georges: [telling a childhood memory] ... some banal romance or other about a nobleman and a lower middle-class girl who couldn't have each other and who then, out of sheer magnanimity, decide to renounce their love - in fact, I don't quite remember it any more. In any case, afterwards I was thoroughly distraught, and it took me a bit of time to calm down. In the courtyard of the house where grandma lived, there was a young guy at the window who asked me where I'd been. He was a couple of years older than me, a braggart who really impressed me. "To the movies," I said, because I was proud that my grandma had given me the money to go all alone to the cinema. "What did you see?" I started to tell him the story of the movie, and as I did, all the emotion came back. I didn't want to cry in front of the boy, but it was impossible; there I was, crying out loud in the courtyard, and I told him the whole drama to the bitter end.

    Anne: So? How did he react?

    Georges: No idea. He probably found it amusing. I don't remember. I don't remember the film either. But I remember the feeling. That I was ashamed of crying, but that telling him the story made all my feelings and tears come back, almost more powerfully than when I was actually watching the film, and that I just couldn't stop.
