Love transcends reason is the only truth

"Love transcends reason is the only truth" - the
beginning of Musset's film is a narrative of love by many strangers - secret love, lust, breakup... These strangers may be us before the movie, who found love before the movie Memories, feelings of love, although more likely to be heartbreak or even heartbreak. The narration of these strangers is interspersed throughout the film, from the love of three to the love of everyone, the feeling of unrequited love is the same, the feeling of breaking up is the same, the core is love, and the resonance is also love.
The scene where the two met Nicolas for the first time was very interesting. The two were in the same frame, and their backs each accounted for half of the scene, indicating the next triangular relationship. Nicolas's love for them was also divided equally. I especially liked the two-half shots in the movie (there are a lot of them in the movie), and the switching of their close-ups. When the two met Nicolas again, the bgm of le temps est bon sounded, which was wonderful~ I especially liked the bgm of Dolan's movie, which perfectly blended with slow motion. From le temps est bon to bang bang, it was the two of them who fell into this three The beginning of human love, the bang bang sounded again, and the love between the two could not be turned back.
Nicolas feels good about himself, is talented, and has full marks for his flirting skills. The two have more admiration for nicolas, why is it "fantasy love", because this kind of love is more like a unilateral lust, a unilateral desire for love, a pursuit of love. From the expressions of Dolan and the heroine together with Nicolas, the gifts they gave to Nicolas, and the poems they wrote, it can be seen that the two are sensitive in their hearts, not confident in love, and infatuated with Nicolas. The two of them are destined to be tied by such love, and they are often the one who is easily hurt in love. The timidity of love is the mark on the wall, the night staring at the city. When the two go out to have fun, the camera shows a single red and yellow and green and blue. The "sex" here is a single color, it does not belong to this real world that should be colored, it is the vent and comfort of the soul, and it is the hidden loneliness and longing for love.
The love of the three cannot reach the check and balance, and the contradiction between the two will eventually erupt, and the trip of the three will come to an end in the autumn leaves and tearing. When winter comes, I miss endlessly. Missing is the "I will wait for you in our season" in the letter, and it is the taste of cotton candy.

I especially like this scene. The two people are in the same frame again. This love seems to be here. Only two souls in the rain understand each other's feelings.


But how can we resist in the face of love, and when facing the next nicolas, we can only helplessly step into this trap again. Fantasy love is a bottomless abyss.





Each of Dolan's films is inseparable from the theme of love. In the film, he can be regarded as his true character, and he is also cautious in love and constantly pursues.
