Zu and Zhan

The feeling of the second brush is very different from more than 10 years ago. I remembered the touching ballad after reading it, the scene of the three people running across the iron bridge and driving into the lake, as well as the delicate and harmonious triangular relationship between these three people. In fact, from the context of the entire film, Jules and Jim, as mentioned twice in the film, are like Don Quixote-style masters and servants, seeking common ground while reserving differences in pursuit of Catherine's love and maintaining a sincere friendship. Jules and Catherine have different personalities, and love and union are also out of war factors, but both of them are not shy about facing this seemingly failed marriage. What Jules needs is the minimum companionship, even if there is no sex, no love, no marriage, and Catherine The demand for them is a harbor when they are empty and helpless, while Jim is relatively traditional and passive. He wants to stabilize an exclusive marriage and have children. Catherine and Catherine also belong to the kind of couple who need and love each other emotionally, and Catherine But it is from them and even Albert to find their different emotional needs, and this is something that Jim cannot fully accept. From this point of view, Catherine is a love-first, pure emotionalist, and the final suicide is as brilliant as fireworks. The ideal destination, she is the holy grail of love that Jules and Jim can never reach, the unattainable dream. In this film, Truffaut successfully deconstructed the traditional concept of love and marriage, focusing on the conflict and contradiction between pure emotional needs centered on love and marriage, sex, physical and spiritual monopoly. After all, love returns to nothingness, life returns to numbness after all, just like Jules' loneliness after burying the ashes of the two after the car sinks into the lake at the end of the film, thinking that we are playing with life, but in fact life is playing with us.
