More and more I realize that my Alzheimer's disease is progressing in a more and more serious direction. After watching a movie, a disgusting eraser will naturally appear in my mind. The memory gradually became blurred and then was thrown out of the sky, so now 2 brushes have become an inevitable result. Recently, under the recommendation of the great god, I turned out "Time Residency" again and re-read it again. Naturally, the feeling is deeper and deeper, many Children's shoes indicate that the era of the master has gradually disappeared with the wind. The death of several hard-core actors last year also indicates that the bits and pieces of that classic era can only be sealed in the old video world for people to miss, but the back waves of the Yangtze River have not come to the front waves. He has already died on the beach, and there is no successor. It has long been a phenomenon in the film industry that makes people worry about each other's tacit understanding, but when it comes to the director who is still in the climbing stage but is very masterful, Ozon is definitely one.

Looking at his works all the way, you will find that his techniques are gradually advancing in a more mature and rigorous style. Last year's excellent work "Into the House" is enough to prove that it is definitely a step up to the next level. step. Although the perspective and entry point of "Stay in Time" are relatively common, and the subject matter is not too surprising, we can still glimpse its brilliant image style and in-depth wisdom for improving the theme. In one work, photography After a period of dizziness, Shi Luomen was diagnosed with terminal cancer and could not live for three months at most. Facing this shock from the blue sky, Luomen did not cry and cynical, but walked silently in his way. into that terrifying situation of death. The sad and mournful soundtrack feels the silent approach of death. Many people say that this film is not a good work by Ozon, which is a bit too reasonable, but I think this is the charm of this film, with a similar It is presented in a reasonable and natural way in a way that silence is better than sound, and achieves an invisible force that directly hits the bottom of my heart.

The importance of an actor to a movie is unquestionable, and even has the power to make or destroy a movie. It is good to have the perfect acting skills, and it will definitely be the icing on the cake. The merger of acting skills will be impeccable and rare. It will immediately raise the level of a movie to a notch. The protagonist of this movie, Melvil Poupaud, is an excellent example. The picky handsome man is so handsome that he is outrageously handsome, just like a delicate and beautiful work of art that God has painstakingly created. Every move, every move, every frown, and every expression is amazingly charming, which matches the atmosphere of this film. , the image and temperament are excellent, and such a dazzling star has fallen, which can touch the audience's inner feelings and sympathy for the injustice of fate and the impermanence of the world, and once again proves Ozon's extraordinary vision and vision for visualization. Pay attention to the impact of the effect.

In the current situation where the bounded speech has not reached a certain absolute freedom, death is still a topic that everyone is afraid to avoid and resist. It is not a coercion or prohibition by society and the state, but a personal opinion and understanding. Everyone's desire to live and expectations for the continuation of life. After all, death is a pain that life can't bear, full of immeasurable grief and sadness, like an unknown dark hole that swallows all good hopes. The end of eternity, of course, there is also the instinctive fear of fear. With the increase of age and the frequent occurrence of crises, death seems to be getting closer and closer, so that we have to think more rationally and objectively, through the perspective of Ozon's extremely conventional restraint , so that many people who often take it seriously and refuse a thousand miles, always live in the world with a lucky and safe mentality, and children's shoes who do not know what mentality to face, follow in the footsteps of Luomen, walk to the face of death, give A chance to get up close and personal with heart and mind.

Get rid of all emotional fetters and restraints, first hurt others and hurt yourself, and reject each and every one of your loved ones from the range that cannot be separated, speak ill of your sister, break up with your lover ruthlessly, say goodbye to grandma sadly, and put yourself in a single place to bear The right situation, resolute and stubborn, seems to be able to meet more calmly, but behind it, you can see Luomen's reluctance to part. There are many symbolic settings about children in the film, which are bits and pieces of past experiences, and their own. A beautiful mark is a gap in a short life. It seems to be the regret and reluctance inspired by memories and vitality, as well as some kind of hope for the future. When Luoman expresses his love for the children involuntarily, he watches them intently. , or leave tears of grief and sorrow. On the one hand, it strengthens the sadness factor in Luomen, and on the other hand, it can better reflect how powerless and helpless human beings are in the face of ruthless death. Interference, sloppy and unrestrained to the end, but as a human instinct still wants to try to make up for regrets, leaving traces of beauty and self-existence.

This also means that Luomen, who read the letter later, will call her sister, delicately express her attachment and reluctance to her lover, and record their moments through the camera, pinning their love on the beauty of this moment, changing For eternity, even leaving a child for a strange couple who never knew each other, there are three scenes in which Luomen weeps are quite pitiful and sad, one is crying in grandma's arms, the other is silent tears in church , and the tears shed from the corners of the eyes at the end, using delicate and subtle details to tug at the heartstrings, if the previous plot seems to be a little loose or lackluster, then the moment the ending comes, the film is sublimated to another level. After finishing, the crowd dissipated, and the sun went down, there was only a silent welcome, no emotional entanglement, so perhaps with the unwillingness of no choice and a little regret about life, in the company of loneliness, with a peaceful and fearless mentality Facing it head-on, in the end, death seems to have removed its cruel and terrifying mask, showing a moving picture that mixes sadness and beauty infinitely, leaving only infinite melancholy and sigh.
