Does he want to talk about vitality?

It's been 3 days since I watched the movie, and I think about it from time to time, which bothers me a lot. I can't figure out what the director wants to say.

If the director's purpose in making this film is to express a feeling when he thinks of someone, then I can understand. It is conceivable that this man is the director when he was young, always walking behind olga, watching her keep turning around and teasing and circling. But it doesn't seem to be just that. Another American woman appeared. What kind of feelings do men have for American women?

French women are hazy, American women are real. There is always a feeling of "acting" in life with French women. If I were this man, I would choose this American woman because she speaks a language to him, because of the vitality she wears when feeding the horses in that dress.

When I saw the French heroine, what I kept thinking was, dear, it is useless no matter how fresh your clothes are, your mood is more melancholy, and your behavior is unpredictable. If you have no self-worth, you will always be in this state of confusion. . . Saying, "That's not what I want" because you can't get something is the behavior of the weak. Of course, you can also say that I have experienced it, and this is what I want -- just like this director, what he shoots is the experience of this moment.

Maybe, what he was shooting was just a subtle feeling between people.

Now, there are not many movies that can make me feel so heartbroken. I think the director still talked about something, maybe I haven't comprehended these things.

To the Wonder quotes

  • Marina: I write on water what I dare not say.

  • Father Quintana: We wish to live inside the safety of the laws. We fear to choose. Jesus insists on choice. The one thing he condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself. And to commit yourself is to run the risk, is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing.
