Find sadness in music

After all, it is a literary film, and in the first half, I almost fell asleep to the beautiful and sad sound of the cello. Until the story began to develop from the arrival of Malles, until later in silence several times in tears can not help themselves.

Columbus's nostalgia for his wife, just like this person and this movie, is both dull and heart-wrenching, and the greatest pain is always unspeakable. Even, I believe that Columbus himself is pushing himself into the abyss of nostalgia. The more painful and satisfying, the more the music overflows in emotion.

Repressed emotions are the most intense.

So did his eldest daughter Madeleine. She is a character that touched me deeply. Since she was a child, she was well-behaved, sensible, and well-behaved. She must be a rational person, and she is rarely seen smiling in the film. However, the pent-up passion always had an explosion, so it poured out completely on her love. Desperate to help her lover without reservation. In one impressive scene, Madeleine unbuttons her clothes to reveal her left chest. That's where her heart is.

I believe she likes this intense feeling. Love is so violent, irrational, and unruly. However, her pride made her unable to tolerate the slightest betrayal, so that when Malles proposed to leave, she immediately said: "You go." The more rational, the more intense, the more love, the more hatred , she, like her father, pushes herself to the extreme with emotion. I believe she is also an excellent musician.

The secular world makes people dare not indulge their feelings and make people think rationally. However, Marais finally couldn't stand his so-called "correctness" and "fame and fortune" that deceived his feelings in the darkness that drowned everything.

Columbus asked him: "What is there to pursue in music?"
He replied: "I need sorrow and tears."

Suddenly I remembered that sentence: Art is a mirror, reflecting the ideals we have abandoned.

When darkness passes and sorrow ends, is it the dawn of joy?

I didn't see it. Maybe after that, it's just the self-righteous redemption after repentance, and the next round of the scorching sun of the world.
