Maybe accidents are natural

The French always make films with strange thinking, loose structure, but full of creativity and talent. On the one hand, it will make you baffled by the sudden fragments in the film, and on the other hand, it will make you applaud for the overall feeling. The long marriage contract is such a film.
I've got it for a long time, but I haven't watched it for a long time, because as soon as I read the title, I know that watching this film requires a calm and undisciplined mood. Last night, I stayed alone in the house and didn't want to do anything. I thought of it naturally.
After watching the film, the biggest feeling is unexpected. "Long marriage contract" sounds like an epic love story, but the film tells the story of a nearly paranoid and persistent woman searching for the truth; watching the muddy and tragic beginning, I thought the tone of the film would be bleak Realistically, I didn’t expect it to be so bright and legendary; when I saw Matil’s investigation began, I thought the investigation would be carried out effectively according to a logical line of thought, but I didn’t expect it to spread out so many weird clues...
I think if I were a director, I would not deliberately portray Matil’s aunt who said infinitely contented after hearing the dog fart: "This makes me refreshed"; if I were a screenwriter, I would not arrange buses and The plot of the friend's wife cheating will not let Mane, who has been dead for a lifetime, go through the ordeal of the hydrogen balloon explosion (I thought it would definitely be a death).
If I were Matil, I would not persistently pursue scattered hopes and clues, and believe that Mane was dead early; if I were Mane, I would not engrave "mmm" in the death zone, but find someone early. Hole hides; if I were a stone leopard, I would bargain with Matil first, instead of running around for elusive hope with such a small payment; if I were Matil’s uncle, I would be determined Stop her crazy behavior, instead of indulging like a child; if I were Matil’s aunt, when I was about to meet Mane, I would say affectionately: "Our family is finally reunited", not the big one. Crying: "I am ashamed, I did not believe in Matil's beliefs"...
I am not them, so I can't create such a wonderful and beautiful film. Maybe I don't blame myself for being ordinary and boring, but I really applaud the French "accident".

    The beauty after revisiting... That unswerving, paranoid, and frantic waiting, even if the eyes are pitch black, but continue to wait, has been waiting lonely, when she looked at him, she leaned back in the chair like that, silently weeping look at him, look at him...

A Very Long Engagement quotes

  • Manech: Manech loves Mathilde, Mathilde loves Manech.

  • Narrator: Mathilde leans back against her chair, folds her hands in her lap, and looks at him. In the sweetness of the air, in the light of the garden, Mathilde looks at him. She looks at him... She looks at him...
