When Ozugran first met Renee, from the phrase "Happy families are all alike", he probably recognized her. So, he naturally asked: I have two cats at home, do you know what your cat's name is?
At that moment, he recognized her. Recall that Marquez said: The greatest reward of writing for a writer is that a mind trained by writing can recognize another mind trained by writing.
The same goes for a brain that loves to read.
- I love these textured dialogues. They carry the thoughts and experiences of the discoverers and those who have been discovered, and like tentacles, they stretch out sensitive antennas in the air, sending out tiny electric currents.
I like these expressions that flow naturally, spread out in such a space background, shining like a galaxy. Maybe because it was in France. Romantic French people, they seem to be able to easily show many sincere emotions, undisguised, really cute.
One of my favorite scenes was when Ozu had dinner together on his birthday. Two people in their fifties, sitting together in a Japanese noodle restaurant, said some solemn words.
- That's actually a pretty good age, isn't it? Young love is also very beautiful, full of hormones, passion, confusion, recklessness, cowardice, doubt, blindness, like a boat tossing in the sea. After middle age, people will become quiet when they understand their destiny. If they are fortunate enough to recognize each other, it will be the most precious gift they will receive.
In the story of love, in fact, it is not just love, maybe it is written as friendship that is thicker and longer. At least, there won't be such a sad ending.
However, the film needs to be effective, and it stops abruptly at the most beautiful moment. It's so beautiful. But, who doesn't long for love, this is a feeling that is closest to the heart, which age, which body, which soul, does not long for love, Jiguang Feiyu?
How many roads do you have to walk in your life to truly become a person? How many books do you have to read to have a vast and vast world? How many questions must be pondered to obtain a peaceful and wise mind?
Renee hasn't given us concrete answers yet, we'll find out for ourselves.
There is also a clip in the film where Renee delivers books to Baroma's sister and speaks to Baroma's mother standing at the door. If the movie started here, I'd definitely think of Renee as a passer-by, she looks a lot like that, doesn't she? She is a familiar stranger whom we meet once or twice every day. She has a life we have never understood. She lives alone in her own fish tank. She exists but has never been seen.
- A lot of people spend their whole lives.
Fortunately, we have movies that can soothe the romantic heart of middle-aged literary women. (Bad smiley, hehehe...)
