A French woman named Emmanuelle Beart is a French film actor who is not very well-known. Of course, she has also won some awards, such as the Caesar Award for Best Supporting Actress, Caesar Two nominations for Best Actress, Venice Film Festival Silver Lion, etc., but I believe not many people know her in China.
November 1993 was a period of restlessness. At that time, I was in the process of being transferred from Wuhan to Hainan. First, my determination was difficult. Second, the unit was not released. Third, everything here was not ideal. All kinds of contradictions and entanglements have arisen, everyone has ups and downs, and many things are temporarily solved by emotional venting. It seems that only in the emotional experience of oneself can people see what they are thinking, think how. Of course, this kind of "seeing clearly" is only a matter of an instant. When a person regains his composure, the illusion and perfunctory become a sign of whether a person is normal or not at the same time.
At that time, we lived in a place on Heping South Road, and every night I rode to Hainan University to teach graduate students, and during the day I hid in the house and watched TV—strictly speaking, watching videos. There are so many videotapes available for borrowing in Haikou, which was also unexpected when I was in Wuhan. Maybe these video tapes came from the wrong way (in the subsequent sweeps, they were almost invisible. Of course, this was also related to myself watching too much and not being so keen), but it really attracted me at that time. A major incentive for Hainan. There is also the "Golden Palm" cinema, where a ticket of ten yuan is far beyond our consumption level, but since we can see newer foreign movies, everyone still considers going to the "Golden Palm" as the most comfortable in Haikou. the first consumption.
On Tuesday, November 30th, an ordinary day, but something extraordinary happened: a French woman came into view, Emmanuelle Bea.
Among a large number of videotapes with basically the same name, all exuding a vulgar smell, I saw a tape of "The Love of This Life is Over". "Love is not yet" is a word that has long been said. I don't know since when, people have played the word game of "Love is not yet", "Love is not love", and "Love is not love", and use these three The arrangement and combination of words can summarize the somewhat tragic ending in the world, especially between men and women.
But I borrowed the tape and watched it that night. Several people watched from the beginning to the end together, no one said a word, and no one said a word after reading it. After reading it again during the next day, no one said a word. I took this tape to the sea master again and invited my friends there to see it, but I still had nothing to say. And to this day, everyone has been careful to shy away from this, the person who plays the heroine of this movie and this movie.
Zhang Zhiyang was the first to break the silence. In 1995, an article of his published in the fifth issue of "Flower City" was about this film, and the title was "Aria on the E String - An Analysis of Two Tone Sounds in "A Winter Heart". From this article, we know that on November 30th and December 1st, he took long notes, all about the movie.
I also kept a very long diary that day, and I often took it out to read, but there was a sense of mystery that was kept secret, as if it could only be hidden in my heart.
Even when Zhang Zhiyang published this article, he still had to say at the end: "I have always endured, not to mention the actor who played Kami. Let's endure it."
The actor of Kami is Emmanuelle Bea.
I wrote down the French title of the film: un coeur en hiver, which I was told could be translated as "A Heart in Winter" or "A Winter Heart". For this reason I wrote to my friends living in France, who were amazed at my mystery; so when I was in France this time, Emmanuelle Bea became a topic of conversation, and they led Then we went to see another film starring Emmanuelle Bea: "une femme francaise" (une femme francaise). Despite their on-site translation, I still couldn't understand it. After returning to China, I found this tape through mountains and mountains, and bought it at a high price.
Emmanuelle Bea, a French woman, this French woman!
In "A Winter's Heart", as Camille walks out of the cafe with her boyfriend Maxim, the film borrows the words of bystander Stefaner: "Look, a man who was A man touched by the grace of a woman!"
This sentence is translated very well. When you close your eyes, you can imagine what Camille and Maxime look like in the film: an elegant woman who gestures slightly to someone she knows, while walking inadvertently to the door. The other was a man who was moved by the elegance of the woman. Following her, he also greeted the people he knew, and greeted him with pride and pride.
The person who said this (Stephaner) was also moved by the elegance of women, but he wanted to explore the "truth" hidden behind this elegance, and when the "truth" was revealed, it was desperate Stefaner flinched. He also wanted to use his grace to cover up his withdrawal, but no, Cammy not only refused, but desperately put her hand under Stefaner's crotch in the crowd and asked: Do you have anything growing here? No, it's empty!
Kami no longer has her own grace. She let her everything so catharsis, hoping to get a "truth" in return: Do you have the truth in Stefaner? Why do you always live in an illusion?
Stefaner was still sitting there dumbfounded. He said to Cammy, I don't love you, I was interested in you, but it was just curiosity, I wanted to seduce...
Cammy: Then go to bed, if you want to play, play it for real!
Stefaner: . . .
In a world so secularized, how can a truly eminent person with delicate feelings be in the world? Is it possible to make fun of life and die if you are addicted to it, or can you refuse all the temptations of true feelings in the world in grace and indifference (unless you think that there is no such true feelings at all), besides, "the temptation of true feelings" is not a knowledge Or the question of "think", it's in Stefan's indifferent expression, in Cammy's unavoidable melody of the piano.
Stefaner has "a heart of winter", he does not believe in the constraints of friendship (such as the relationship with Maxim), he is afraid that this heart will be melted by the fiery passion of Kami.
At the end of the film, Maxim, Stefana and Cammy all returned to their former serenity. Maxim and Stefaner rejoined the business of repairing the violin, and when Camille went out to perform, he also met with Stefan as usual. Stefaner gave a hug to say goodbye; but when the car was about to start, she glanced back at Stefaner sitting in the cafe, and said in the words of "Universal Screen" when introducing Emmanuelle Bea, It was "a pair of ecstasy eyes"...
but Stefaner didn't look up. He has no soul to sell. In other words, he does not believe that a person can have such eyes, and the reason for not believing is that he does not see her.
It's only when my best friends come over that I pull out this tape and show them. In more than two years, this kind of movie viewing meeting has been held about three or four times. At most, eight people watched the movie at the same time at my house. Others are not as invested as I am, but I always want to impose my nerves on them, so after watching this movie, there will always be a lot of unpleasant things, even the family knows that as long as While playing this movie, others can't make any noise, can't have any movement...
Is this also a way of wrapping oneself?
Alas, this French woman... when she played Jeanne in the movie "A French Woman" and stoned her husband to run away with her lover, when she happened to see her lover died in Germany in a newspaper What should you say to her when she passed away unknowingly?
The director of this film is Regis Vargnier. His "Indochina" won the 65th Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and the French woman in this film is his biological mother.
The director said to the actors: Why a French woman? Because at one point in history, it was this French woman who embodied France, both historically and emotionally.
Walking on the land of France, I seem to have met many Camille or Jeanne-esque women, but it seems that one is different from the other. In short, it is like being in a certain movie, and the people around seem to be the same. Actors, all acting, but it seems that everything is true, this is the daily life itself, all of this makes you have to think again and again of human nature, of desire, of the persistent pursuit of perfection and of understanding Tolerance with compassion.
July 14 abstracts France.
Emmanuelle Bea embodied France.
If a nation is like this, the authenticity of a person may also be related to the inability to overlap in the abstract and concrete senses.
