In fact, I originally chose this film for my two favorite beauties, the famous Sophie Marceau and Monica Bertolucci. The result of watching is to sigh that the years are ruthless, and the beauty is easy to grow old. The 2 beauties are still so hot, but their faces are not what they were yesterday. They really feel a little old and pearly.
The film is about the theme of memory and forgetting, and it should be said that it is a psychological film.
At first I thought "Don't Look Back" was a thriller, but it wasn't. Maybe it's about an attitude towards life, you should look forward to everything, don't look back all the time. If the pain of the past will disturb and destroy the good life of the present, it should be forgotten.
Memory and forgetting is actually an eternal topic of life. Everything we have experienced in the past will become a memory in our life, painful and joyful, will affect our psychology. Especially childhood experiences, for growth, for the formation of personality in adulthood, psychologists particularly emphasize its importance.
At the beginning of the film, Jenny, played by Sophie Marceau, has been muttering to herself "Who am I?" From her unsuccessful non-fiction novel, she began to doubt her identity. She lost her memory in a car accident at the age of 8. She is haunted by the blank memories of her childhood, and those lost childhood memories are slowly awakening.
Starting with a childhood photo, she traveled from France to Italy to pursue the mystery of her own life.
The mystery was revealed, and it turned out to be a dislocation of real identity and memory.
She is actually an adopted girl, Italian girl Maria. Jenny is the biological daughter of her adoptive mother. In an unfortunate car accident, she lost her memory. The adoptive mother lost her son and daughter as well as her husband. From then on, she was instilled in Jenny's memory by her adoptive mother and cultivated according to Jenny's model.
The final outcome of the film is that she no longer competes with the past, let herself accept the identity of Jenny calmly, and no longer dwell on whether she is Maria or Jenny. Life, in fact, is to live in the present, don't look back. It doesn't really matter who you were in the past. The world is stable, the years are quiet, the children are lovely, the husband loves me very much, and I can start writing myself.
Those who are entangled in the painful memories of the past, you can actually watch this movie, maybe you can also feel something, and get out of the painful past as soon as possible. Everything in the past, whether it is beautiful or painful, is actually in the past. You want to go back, it is impossible. No one can turn back time, and no one can go back to the past. Living each day well is the most important thing.
