Entering the topic, this film inevitably reminds me of No Country for Old Men, but this film does not describe so many characters like the former, but focuses all the focus on a couple who are dying. The hero Georges and the heroine Anne are both. Retired music teacher, the two of them went to enjoy the piano performance of the students at the beginning. To be precise, it should be the piano performance of Anne's students. In the long shot of the audience enjoying the performance, Anne was always staring at the stage, and Georges seemed to be more like a guest , at the end of the performance, Anne ran to the lounge to visit the students' class, and it was hard to hide her pride on the way home with Georges on the bus. This is one of the few smiles Anne has in the whole film.
Next, the apartment door lock was picked. From what Georges said, we can know that it was just a thief. It seems that the apartment the couple lives in is very ordinary, and according to normal channels, it may take at least 2 months to repair the door lock. It clearly shows that the work efficiency of this society is low, and there is no vitality, which forms a remarkable balance with this couple in their prime.
In this long shot of the kitchen, the frame is very tight, and the couple is eating at a table against the wall, which can only hold two people, and in the back shot we can see that there is a There is a table for four, but that table doesn't even put a napkin. Maybe because my daughter often performs abroad, she doesn't come to visit her parents very often. The plot is also explained later. Georges and He have been eating in the kitchen, this is the place where the servants eat. Europeans are very particular about eating, not to mention a musician and a couple. Seeing this, my heart started to go cold.
During the conversation between Georges and his daughter, we learned that Georges has a granddaughter, Liz, who should still be in college, and a grandson, John, who has worked independently at the age of 26, but his father-son relationship with his son-in-law Jeff is not very good, and at the same time, the son-in-law has an extramarital affair. Fact, but the daughter's mood is extremely calm, her husband engaged in a female colleague, and the woman committed suicide, but the daughter Eva did tell the story as if she was talking to her father about the neighbors' homes, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
Anne was discharged from the hospital with a stroke and went home. We saw Merry, the neighbor standing outside the door when the firefighters broke in at the beginning. This neighbor should have called the police after finding out that Georges' letters had never been received, and from the conversation we felt The neighbor is still more concerned about Georges and Anne, including Mrs. Merry who also helped Georges buy things, but in this shot we can see that Anne is always turning her back to everyone, thanking Mr. Merry unnaturally, it seems that from here It can be seen that Anne can't accept the fact that she is semi-paralyzed by stroke, and she may be a stubborn and strong woman. There is a classic scene at the back of this paragraph, that is, Georges is trying to help Anne in a wheelchair. The scene is like Like ballroom dancing, there may have been countless times when they danced together hugging each other like this, but maybe there will never be a chance again.
At night, Georges may be insomnia, and he has been keeping his eyes open to feel the sound of Anne's breathing around him. This breathing sound promises to make him feel very peaceful, but the momentary pause made Georges extremely nervous, and Anne's breathing sound returned to normal again. Extremely delicate.
Anne was bedridden for a long time, so Georges wanted to help her move her muscles and bones. This episode of crying directly reminded me of that song, if I'm too old and can't have sex, will you still love me? Pull away.
In the next shot, at night, Anne is lying on the sofa watching her horoscope (PS: the heroine is Pisces)
Warning: full of energy, but be serious about
love: what you want is a high-profile conversation
Work: full of combat power , Be careful with words and deeds to be
healthy: do more exercise, so that you can experience a lot
Note here that Anne's spirit is flushed red and appears to be blush, which is in stark contrast to the pale face of the previous scene. But Georges scoffed at Anne's horoscope, and interrupted his old friend's funeral tomorrow. Note again that before this scene, Georges and Anne's shots were all in the same frame, even if they were talking to each other, it was over the shoulder. The shot, but the conversation between the two here is a separate shot from the beginning to the end, which forms a clear contrast with the previous long shot, that is, the relationship between the beloved seems to begin to deteriorate from here, or stop being as close as before. , The conversation and communication between the two people in the good scene at the back are all separate shots. Even when the student came to visit the couple, the two were not sitting opposite each other, but this shot was sitting side by side. If you look closely, there is also an obvious distance. I feel that Georges occupies the left side of the screen, half of his arm is almost out of the drawing, while Anne occupies the right side of the screen and sits behind Georges to the right, and the relationship between characters and space is handled extremely well.
Gradually, Anne's condition began to worsen. When her daughter EVA came to visit, Anne was already unconscious. EVA implied that her father did not take care of her mother. Georges expressed his dissatisfaction and ended the conversation by increasing the number of nurses' care.
Anne was very resistant to the nurse's job. After the last nurse, Georges lit a cigarette and felt that he was taking care of Anne, but his wife had already thought of suicide, and she resisted by refusing to drink water. In the end, Georges helped Anne to euthanize, so For her, this is the best relief. Holding the hand of the son and the son are always happy, but I can't watch you die in pain like this.
