The vortex of promise and rejection

In the past, plots related to time racing are easier to capture the audience’s "fate gate". Relatively speaking, they enter the movie quickly, and the adrenaline is rising linearly. This "two days and one night" by the Darnet brothers is in the film. The name tells you that this is a movie that races against time. It tells that the heroine Sandra must persuade more than half of her colleagues to give up the 1,000 Euro bonus to keep her job within a limited time. Brothers’ previous work, this film has a typical genre format, which has major limitations. But the Dane brothers have taken a different approach in the so-called framework and unearthed “social morality” in this story full of practical significance. Level" issue.

It is similar to the narrative mode of "passing five stages and killing six generals", which leads Sandra's emotional trend, and also pulls the audience's mood of watching movies. After disappointment, there is hope. This kind of "give a slap and a date". The method keeps impacting the nerves, and it also relaxes the plot. As mentioned in the previous article, the Dane brothers have gained a lot of ground in digging into the issue of "social morality". The audience followed Sandra’s perspective to see the life dilemmas faced by every colleague. The so-called "every family has a hard-to-read sutra." The Ukiyo-e of a social sentient being leaps forward, agreeing or rejecting, not only colleagues, but Sandra is also in ambivalence from beginning to end. Persuading colleagues means dragging people into the water, and giving up means facing death alone. It is not alarmist, Sandra also gave up choosing suicide, and the inner moral choice is what the Danes want to express through this movie.

At the end of the film, Sandra had the opportunity to replace her colleague to keep her job. She chose to give up this opportunity and echoed all the previous "satisfaction". If I love it, I will love it. The morally elevated Sandra decided not to stop. Complaining against others, self-blaming, facing the difficulties in life, bravely taking responsibility, and starting again, this kind of unreunion and happy ending can be regarded as no success and a smooth transition.

This movie, the Darnet brothers, has maintained a consistent standard. It has a script with diamond cutting technology, Marion Cotilla's actress-level performances, the theme is soft and hard, and the general public is like a realistic knife waiting to be inserted into your heart at any time. Think of the real background sound after the film, as if in the real world, many people and animals are by your side, watching everything...

    As I am not used to seeing all grieving women, I really want to drag Cotillard, the French Mai Ting, from the screen and beat it. On the other hand, it proves that her performance is excellent, and the Dannet brothers' superb skills in controlling this subject matter. But nothing, during Cannes, the individual's first senses shall prevail.

    The Darnet brothers will not let you down. They can always restore the life itself to the greatest extent while extracting the appeal of the story itself. The key is that you need to look carefully enough, and every detail is not useless.

Two Days, One Night quotes

  • Sandra: Everytime I feel like a beggar, a thief coming to take their money. They look at me, ready to hit me. I feel like I'm hitting them too.

  • Timur: Hello.

    Sandra: Hello. Your daughter told me you were here. I was round at your place. I wanted to see you about the vote on the bonus and me being laid off. Juliette and I saw Dumont and he'll let us hold another ballot Monday because Jean-Marc influenced people by telling them that Dumont wanted to lay off staff anyway. So if it wasn't me who was made redundant it would be them... So... I wanted to ask you if... if you'd vote for me to stay on Monday.

    Timur: [in tears] Of course I will. I'm really glad you're here. I'm so mad at myself for voting for my bonus. I'm sorry.

    Sandra: Don't be sorry. I can understand. 1.000 Euros.

    Timur: No. I'm ashamed. I even forgot what you did for me. Remember? When I broke those cells... and you said you did it. You remember.

    Sandra: Yes, and Jean-Marc even said: "Fine example to set the new guy!"

    Timur: I'm really glad you came.
