Life is like a play, play is life.

I still remember when I watched "Farewell My Concubine" for the first time, the moment when Chen Dieyi swung his sword to kill himself on the dark stage, how shocking it was, the coldness penetrated into my marrow all the time. In the play, Chen Dieyi played Concubine Yu; outside the play, Dieyi Chen really became Concubine Yu. The interpenetration of life and drama has made his brother Leslie Cheung's acting skills alluring, and it is also doomed to his tragic life of leaping away from the real nightmare. It's all because of too deep into the play, turning the play into life. However, the reason why we are obsessed with images may also be because at a certain moment, we want to hide in a dark corner and enjoy the vague glimpses of life and drama. It is a kind of spiritual enjoyment of 'Zhuang Zhou Meng Die', which can take us for a moment away from the real life that can no longer be realistic. Who can say that each of us is not an actor, and every day plays a role that we like or dislike? Life is like a play, and play is life, which is Chu Fu's metaphor for the living conditions in and outside the play in "The Last Subway"; this last subway is also Chu Fu's artistic interpretation and perfect summary of the function of movies in his later years?

French film "ice beauty" Catherine Deneuve, in the play played the Jewish playwright Lucas' wife Marion. In the wartime shadow of Germany's occupation of France in 1942, Lucas, who has not yet escaped safely, has been hiding in the cellar of the theater, doing behind-the-scenes guidance and spending his days. Marion took on all the responsibilities. With no experience in management, she was rehearsing, facing all kinds of people in the theater, and running around for her husband's escape. Under extreme adversity and pressure, the endurance and endurance of women's flexibility is amazing. Under the pressure that she ran to the toilet to vomit after eating, she could perform gorgeously moving roles on stage. As a mature and noble woman, she has been secretly suppressing her desire and affection for Bernard, a young actor in the theater. On the stage, they are lovers who love each other but are repressed; off the stage, they secretly like but hide their lust. Marion refused Bernard's kiss on stage, and Lucas persuaded her to act more real, her eyes full of hesitation. But at the moment when the drama ended perfectly, she couldn't help kissing Bernard's mouth. The unconscious kiss at this moment made her lust unquestionably vent. Until, Bernard said that he was going to fight, and their love was completely strong. However, she denies that she doesn't love Lucas anymore. When she held the hands of these two men with one hand on the stage for the curtain call, she had both a reality and a dream. The moment the applause broke out, we knew it was just a drama, and it was more than just a drama? ! .

Marion had already played the trick and life together, and it ended so unrealistically perfectly. This is French romance and a universal metaphor - life is like a play, play is like life.

This is clearly reproduced in the final scene of the stage play, when Marion meets Bernard Hospital. In the long shot, Marion walked slowly towards Bernard, and they began to have an affectionate conversation. In the deep focus shot behind the scene, there were two figures in the window of the building opposite the window. Slowly, the two people were frozen in the shot and became a wall. painting on. Such a wonderful shot condenses all the meaning of the play in just a short moment: our life will eventually be frozen in the shot. I think this is also the most beautiful interpretation of the movie by a senior who has loved movies all his life.
