I'm not an expert, just talk about my own perception of this movie, if it's different from you, it's okay, everyone has different perceptions is a good work! At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist Louis is sitting on the plane home. The dim picture and low narration set the gloomy tone of the film. The first three minutes of narration can be said to be the most critical background introduction of the film, and viewers who do not understand these three minutes will not be able to understand the entire film. Louis came home to tell his family that his death was coming. With this apocalyptic perspective, the behavior of everyone in the film will be less difficult to understand. Let’s talk about the picture first. I am not a film major, nor a painting major, but I can also see the director’s intentions in the picture. The picture of the whole film basically maintains a gloomy feeling, dim and low. Moreover, each close-up must have a contrast of light and shadow, sometimes giving me the illusion of seeing oil paintings. Speaking of music, I'm not a music major either, so it should be difficult for an ordinary audience like me to find a music slot for such a literary film. I'm talking about the song after the opening narration, "Home is not a harbour" It seems to imply the ending of Louis dying alone in a place far from home. Then there are the characters. The protagonist, Louis, is of course outstanding. When he looked at his family, the kind of sadness and cherishedness showed in his eyes. Finally, he was entangled in whether to tell his mother and sister the bad news. The feeling of being held back can be said to be very fresh. However, I think another outstanding character, or even more outstanding character, is the protagonist's brother Antoine. Many people may wonder why Antoine acted like a bitch from the beginning, embarrassing the family everywhere. Let's imagine that the male protagonist's family has no father, Antoine plays a father-like role, and has a good relationship with Antoine since childhood. Think about it, if you suddenly run away from home for 12 years, you will only send postcards home in 12 years with only two or three words. When you come home suddenly, does your dad give you a big hug first, or beat you first? So isn't Antoine's meanness throughout the film, and his inadvertent need for Louis' love just right? The most difficult thing to understand is probably that Antoine suddenly swept out Louis at the end, but if we imagine that Antoine already knew that Louis' death was coming, in order to protect his sister and mother, he didn't want Louis to say it when he parted. Does that make sense? Why do you say that Antoine already knows? Pay attention to a few details: 1. After Luois and Antoine drove back, Louis' back and hair were wet, and he was obviously sweating a lot. 2. A close-up of Antoine's fist when he's about to hit Louis, with a new wound on it. 3. When Antoine came back, she said to her sister that it will soon be over. 4. When Antoine finally quarreled with his sister, he said "We can't carry Louis like a ???", like what he didn't say. Can we imagine that, Luois told Antoine in the car that he was going to die. Antoine was very sad and angry. He punched the car or the tree with his fist and left wounds. Louis was sweating to prevent Antoine from wrestling with him. The last thing Antoine wanted to say was "We can't carry Louis like a corpse" . And I believe that Antoine must have explained that Louis couldn't tell his mother and sister the truth, so when the mother and sister asked Louis why he had to go, Louis said "I have a Rendez–vous" (this is the French "date" meaning, not What kind of Laozi meeting), Antoine said "Merci" (thank you). Also, the male protagonist's sister-in-law should also know the truth. Although I don't know when she knew it, she didn't stop her when Antoine swept Louis out of the house and prepared snacks carefully, and the male protagonist finally banned him. The voice's movements, I presume she knew. There is also Antoine's last outbreak. As the head of the family, he has to bear the responsibility for all the tragedies in the family. Maybe Louis has been blaming himself for running away, and it is not difficult to understand the final emotional outburst. In fact, I think everyone in the film seems to know that goodbye is goodbye, otherwise the mother and sister would not be so desperate when they parted! Finally, I want to praise the little bird at the end, which almost represents the fate of the male protagonist. When I remembered the first bell, the bird flew over the head of the male protagonist from the direction of the bell, as if it flew out of the house (the bell), and finally it flew over the head of the male protagonist to return home, but unfortunately it didn't succeed and finally died alone outside. Isn't this a correspondence to the narration at the beginning, the male protagonist returned home along the path he left, and finally died alone outside? The central idea of the film is a bit difficult to grasp, probably to show the love and affection between family members? The willful second brother can always realize and be forgiven, the eldest brother who has always protected the family, the younger sister who admires the second brother, the unreliable mother, and the kind sister-in-law. Although they deeply love each other, they can't avoid quarreling and bickering. Maybe that's what family love is supposed to be like? To be honest, even now I always feel that there is still a layer of fog between myself and the movie, and I hope that one day I can really see it through! (thanks).
