love each other

It's been a long time since I saw such pure, straightforward and frank love. In today's youth romance films, there are too many entanglements, too many hesitations and timidity, but the candid enthusiasm unique to the green era seems to have disappeared without a trace. Isn't the summer that Monica and her little boyfriend spent at the beach representing the most beautiful and splendid moment of love? They are looking forward to the future together, lingering sadly together, facing the hostility from the outside world together, and rest assured of all the fantasies and expectations of life. Even though the future is full of thorns and many difficulties, at the moment of handing over, I also experience undefended acceptance. I like Monica very much. Although she is a bit rude, careless and irresponsible in the eyes of the world, as a person, she is so lively and lively, letting herself be arbitrary and uninhibited, without caring about the evaluation of others. It's a great picture, with a lively and smooth emotion flowing under the black-and-white lens.

    A minimalist Bergman film, without the obscure chords that followed him, but very moving, especially the shot of Monica turning around and looking at the camera, definitely one of the most powerful shots in film history, that is to the morals of the audience. A fearless response to questioning. It was also Bergman's own favorite film, but he kept going. Personally, I feel that the Darnay brothers' films have inherited the mantle of this film to some extent after many years.

    Clam? What the hell? I'm too "modern" to appreciate it? The beautiful light and shadow are far from enough to subsidize the hour and a half that I wasted on this stupid heroine...
