I haven't watched a movie in a long time. Because of the World Cup? or something else? uncertain.
This "Three in Troubled Times" is still very good. Although various elements of the movie have been experienced in previous viewings, Theron's excellent performance, especially her eyes, made a good movie.
There is a movie review on the Internet, what he (she) saw is very similar to mine, so I repost it here because it is rare.
Review: "Paris Smoke"
This movie was recommended by a friend. I asked her what movie did she watch? He said "crazy". "have a bee in one's bonnet"? I'm curious, let's have a look. There are many other translations on the Internet: "Crazy Thoughts", "Three Walks in Troubled Times", "British and French Lovers", "War in Love", "World War II Women's Disc".
It was good to read it once, but I didn't really understand it, so I read it again. There is always something in my chest that I can't let go of. So I wrote what I wanted to write, but the writing was not good, and the tiles were tapped, huh, huh.
The movie is full of commercial gimmicks: beauty, fancy clothes, sex, homosexuality, 3P, avant-garde art, war, life and death, love between a man and two women... And after watching it, it gives you the feeling There will be more, it reveals fate, reveals people's attitude and way of life, reveals people's most secret emotions and needs, reveals the confusion of life and the search and discovery of self.
The film is set before and after World War II, and shortly after the opening, Beth accidentally broke into Guy's room as a freshman to avoid the guards, and Guy was fascinated by this woman at that moment. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Guy stayed at Beth like a gentleman, and gave up his bed to the beauty. I saw Beth have a two-second close-up of her eyes, very tender. The picture changed, and the two of them slept on the same bed upside down. Pay attention to the expression on the little boy Guy in this paragraph, he longs for Gulian's body, but he is extremely shy! After watching the movie later, I felt that the rainy night was the most beautiful, and that was the first emotional expression of people! Very pure!
Then Beth went on a trip, and the two began to contact each other, but she left before Guy's letter arrived. We lost contact after a year. Guy also has a new life and a girlfriend. Beth also had a new life at this time, becoming a photographer, and she invited Guy to Paris for a film festival. After Guy found out, he was excited to sit on the train to Paris overnight, leaving his girlfriend and work behind...
This film exhibition was jointly organized by Beth and her lover, American photographer Max. At that time, Paris should be the most famous and most fashionable art gathering place in France in the pre-photography era. The moment the film festival "Tyranny of Youth" kicked off, the audience was amazed. Another character in the threesome appears - Mia, Beth's privately owned model and gay lover. Her first appearance was a sculpture at a film festival. I really admire the avant-garde photographic art at that time that is difficult to surpass up to now. This film also gave me a refresher on the surreal photographic expression of the 1930s.
Maybe Guy's answer is "I'm scared of her feelings for her". Unbearable, Guy returns to London. But soon Gulian broke up with her photographer lover and knocked on Guy's door. The two of them started living together, including Mia of course. Mia loves Beth and Guy; Beth loves Guy and Mia and himself. They seem promiscuous but they belong together. Back home, it became clear that Beth's extreme sense of self was deeply influenced by her family. Do whatever it takes for your lover! If you bully her lover, then you will eat the belt!
On the surface, Mia, who was born as a dancer, does not seem to have lofty ideals, but after reading the description of her life experience, I have a new understanding of her. When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, Mia was bound to return to her homeland. Guy also joined the Volunteer Army. Beth was puzzled by this, growling, furious, she thought the war had nothing to do with them. But all this is irreversible! Eventually Mia and Guy went to the battlefield.
If this movie is divided into two paragraphs, then it can be divided as follows: before the war and after the war
We all say war is cruel. indeed! If it is relative to the life of a drunken fan, I think the word "cruel" can better reflect its meaning. They gave up on this! Ideals should sometimes be above all else. The suffering on the battlefield is needless to say, look at Guy's unshaved beard! A biscuit has to be split in two to eat, and the last meal is not the next. They used words to express their memory of Beth. Seeing Mia's appearance without makeup, I was surprised. Is this still the big Spanish beauty? Really changed a person. The surprise of the chance encounter in the field was beyond words, and they told Beth and the past that night. A kiss without desire hugged and fell asleep.
On the way back to Mia in the morning, the jeep she was riding in was bombed, and she died like this.
To Mia:
Our eyes can't see the future, we blindly explore our future, so it's better. The last morning, her eyes are bright, she goes to death Unique can't bloom anymore... (Guy recites) Beth is crying when she learns...
After Spain was defeated and Guy returned to Paris, I deliberately replayed the scene where the two met several times. I thought Beth's eyes were so incomprehensible, with the undulating background music and complicated eye contact, I had to admire the superb acting skills of the two.
Then World War II broke out, Guy once again joined the anti-fascist battle, this time he found that Beth was leaning on a high-ranking German officer. People all over Paris think she's a total bitch! Guy is also going to ask to understand, waiting at the coffee shop opposite Mia's residence for three days! Finally, when he had an opportunity, he walked into Mia's residence despite the danger and disorganization. After the passion, he hopes to save Beth's heart, but he fails...
During an operation Guy stepped into a cafe where Beth, who had been informed in advance, was ready to rescue.
The operatives who came here to die. But she didn't expect it to be Guy! Even Guy himself was surprised. Li Daitao was stiff, the moment he changed his clothes, Guy rekindled his confidence in their love again, and it could be seen that his expression was so sweet.
Guy was later injured in another operation, and he learned from Julian that Beth was an intelligence agent. He regretted misunderstanding her, and he wanted to fly to Beth immediately. He rushed through the hail of bullets, desperately racing all the way. Love makes people forget that they don't care about their lives, including that stupid German officer, doesn't he really know that Gulian doesn't love him? This time, it's good, people are killed, and it can be regarded as a sacrifice for love! Beth was kissed by a guerrilla on the head of a dead man! The long oppressed masses of Paris could drown her with a single spit, she deserved it!
Guy finally came to Beth's place, the house was a mess, Guy found a
will my love
I try to think things through and figure out how I was and where I am now I've always thought it was our duty to enrich our lives But I'm also caught up in another belief that everything is destined to wait for you and time Every second passed by and I seemed to be filled with panic and eagerness to fill my days looking back and seeing how little I had accomplished in our friendship between you, me and Mia and then one day I woke up to find that I had lost the most of my life. Two people who care so I began to understand that people can't stay out of the world. We don't resist fate. It's the performance of the avatar. You're right. I used to care about your thoughts.
I LOVE YOU
Thinking back to the conversation between Guy and Beth on the banks of the Seine, Gulian said to Guy that it was all doomed, and that night in Cambridge I was doomed to go to your room...
After reading the message, I suddenly understood why there was a fortune-telling for the little Bess who spent three francs at the beginning of the film! She has believed in fate since then and did not fight! That old witch is really deep enough! A mere three francs could end Beth's life. At the age of 34, she can't escape her fate after all! I'm really uncomfortable!
At the end of the credits, Guy is sitting in a chair, and in front of him there is a scene of Beth running across the Cambridge campus wearing a forward hat and a ill-fitting coat, and I can't help but be moved: life is really a snap!
Charlize Theron has such a beautiful smile. With a charming smile, flowers all over the world are blooming.
