The director taught me the art of love in movies with a scene.
The highlight of a love story in the whole film is that Andre helps the principal to propose to Jane. As a result, he couldn't help revealing his feelings when reading the principal's love poem, and then hurriedly fled the scene, leaving an embarrassing scene. Jane bowed her head and played the piano while the principal packed her things and left in a panic. At the end of the scene, Jane was given a close-up shot: she slowly raised her head from the piano and burst into tears.
Jane cried, not because Andre's confession ruined her plan, not because she lied repeatedly in exchange for Andre's sincere treatment, but because she knew what Andre's confession would bring to him - Andre would This was ruined by the headmaster of his military career. Although he loves his grandfather so much and his Russia so much, he is likely to be abandoned because of today's events.
And Andre, didn't he know there was such a consequence? he knows. Jane was crying because she knew he knew there would be such a consequence and still spoke out. This is romance! Even in the face of self-destruction, reveal your true heart to love.
Immediately afterwards, Andre returned home after being punished, and Jane had been waiting at Andre's house for a long time, and then the two were alone.
After entering the door, Jane took the initiative to let Andre sit down first. In Western etiquette, men must sit down after women to show respect. Jane's abnormal behavior shows the importance of the next conversation: Jane, who survived by lying, revealed her own feelings to Andre. real identity. In her "high-level prostitute" career for many years, Jane's body and emotions were obviously separated, but at this moment, she revealed to the little milk dog male protagonist that she had hidden her precious girlish heart for many years.
Then Jane knelt down in front of Andre and sincerely asked him "Do you believe me". After the male protagonist answered "Yes", the female protagonist got up and sat at the table. Jane went from standing to kneeling and then to sitting. This dynamic change shows her indebtedness to Andre, because her deceit was repaid by Andre with fate and love , and only after the debt is settled, can the two talk on an equal footing love.
However, when Andre was faced with such a large amount of information at this time, how could he still have the heart to talk about love? All he thought was, "Oh my God, didn't I completely destroy your mission? How could I be so impulsive? I'm really a pig's brain". When the heroine is already proving the question of the marriage proposal above, the hero is still stuck in the debt of sabotaging Jane's mission, so there is the following dramatic dialogue:
"Didn't you propose to me that day and expect me to give you an answer?"
"I'm sorry, please forgive me, I don't know."
"Are you proposing to me?"
"Sorry, I'm too impulsive, it's all my fault."
"Why did you apologize, do you regret it?"
"I'm sorry for what happened."
"But is what you said that day true?"
"Yes...I suppose."
The translation of the above paragraph is that the heroine asked "Do you love me?" The hero hesitated for a long time and answered , "I love... well, maybe I should love it." Jane's long-held precious emotions were greatly affected , then switched to work mode and physically insulted Andre. At this time, the camera is not on the undressed heroine, but on the male protagonist.
The director gave Andre a shot from far to near: tears welling up in his eyes . He was puzzled, distressed, sad, and confused, and asked Jane "How you don't love me", which translated as "How can you treat me like this, how can you not love me". Only then did Jane realize that Andre loved her, and loved her far more than she had imagined.
Jane fell into absolute embarrassment, showing her professional identity in front of her beloved, and personally snuffing out the spark of love between them, humiliating, but more painful.
By creating a typical dramatic technique of misunderstanding , the director poked the very thin window paper between the male and female protagonists for more than ten minutes. The unique charm of love movies is to show emotional stimulation , rather than "do you love me" and "love" is over.
Andre is completely from an emotional point of view, he does not consider Jane's identity and background, and does not care about the consequences of confession, because he loves her. And when he found out that Jane came to his house for a showdown, he was at a loss, because he never thought that Jane would respond to his love. I say "I love you" to you, but I don't expect a response from you because I don't need you to love me to love you . What a simple and romantic love this is! This is also the quality of love that many contemporary people do not have! When I love you, you must also show it, what a stupid moral kidnapping.
The marriage and love of contemporary people are often not based on emotion, but from rationality. If you love me, then what is your character, what is your salary, what is the situation of the three generations in your family, make a table and calculate the total score, if you have a lower score than another person, then I will be with another person, this is completely Completely deviated from true love. Contemporary people who oppress their emotions in such a way will one day be retaliated by their emotions and pay their own price . There are more and more cases of divorce and derailment.
Although Andre and Jane finally separated, the love between the two never seemed to break.
