Adele's first chapter

Emma and Adele first meet in a bar. Emma ordered a drink of her favorite drink for Adele and asked how it tasted. Adele took a sip and said after a long time, it was disgusting. Emma laughed and said, I like it very much.

The same theme runs through the film throughout.

Emma is the more sophisticated person who wants to share this side with Adele, but Adele is simple and down-to-earth. Emma said "fine art" and Adele asked if there was "ugly art". Emma mentions that Sartre has a powerful influence on her, and Adele thinks of reggae player Bob Marley. Emma knows a lot about painters, Adele only knows Picasso and Picasso. Every time Emma was amused by Adele's response. The difference between the two fulfilled the initial attraction to each other.

On the first official date, Emma painted Adele, echoing her muse at a party years later. Adele was novel to Emma. She is Emma's model, and Emma's admiration.

And Adele is a kind of admiring love for Emma. She was willing to be the one who added food and wine at the party and washed the dishes after the party. She just wanted to be by her side so that she would be happy.

Over time, the difference between the two finally revealed its true colors. Emma was worried about the art exhibition on the phone, and Adele kept asking her if she wanted coffee; when she finally realized it was time to say something on the topic, she squeezed out a sentence, and sometimes I got angry with my colleagues. At the party, Emma's friend asked, do you know Schiller? Adele said she didn't know. Emma turned her head and said reproachfully, didn't I tell you? Adele obviously forgot, as if she had read and forgot Sartre - she really didn't care.

Emma hopes Adele will find joy in writing. Adele said, I am very happy as long as I am with you. Emma sighed after hearing this. It's no wonder that in the breakup scene, she rants, "you're not the only one who suffers.

Emma and Lise are hot at the party." Adele asked timidly afterwards, have you been together before? Emma denied it, but added that she also painted. It's not surprising that Emma and Lise are really together later. What Emma wants is not someone who can only admire, but someone who can appreciate beauty with her.

Adele cheated, and Emma cut off the two with the most decisive words and gestures like crazy. If derailment is the direct cause of this result, it may be embarrassing. But no matter how you look at it, this is more like the last straw on the camel's back.

Years after the breakup, when Adele went to see an exhibition of Emma's paintings, the camera moved with her in the gallery, but couldn't focus on any of the paintings. Our eyes cannot go beyond that of Adele, who didn't come to see the painting, and probably never even really appreciated Emma's work. Eventually she drank the wine in her hand and left the gallery. Even in moments like these, what we see is her distance from Emma. She never fully stepped into Emma's world.

When Adele's life chapter is written later, she may face the difference between the two people with a more "realistic" attitude. However, in the first chapter of her life, Adele loved so pure, passionate and unreserved from beginning to end, whether the two were compatible was an irrelevant topic for her. What should happen, whether it's attraction or separation, happens naturally, euphorically or desperately. The love in all subsequent chapters has more or less become the footnote of this first chapter.

And no matter which chapter of Adele's life is written, she will probably have "infinite tenderness" towards Emma.
