On March 9, 1964, 55 years ago today, Juliette Binoche, the heroine of the movie "The Hussars on the Roof", was born in Paris, France.

The heroine did not appear in the film for a long time. At the beginning of the movie, cholera and people's fear continued to spread. Only when the hero went down from the roof to the room did the heroine appear. I am afraid that only these two people in this city have no fear in their hearts. , they are also afraid, but they have hope for their loved ones in their hearts, and have tenacity and perseverance, so they can calmly face the current epidemic, bravely pursue their own goals, and at the same time give a helping hand to others. There is a woman who did not appear in the film - the hero's mother, who cultivated the hero's courtesy and temperance, bought the official position of colonel, and encouraged the hero to be more brave. The hero kept writing letters to his mother in Milan on the way, telling her what she was doing. I think when my mother knew what the hero did, she should be proud of him.

When it comes to love, you can only know what love is when you have truly loved it. At the beginning, the heroine's love for the Marquis was a kind of admiration. The hero's love for the heroine changed from gratitude to responsibility to affection, and then gradually sublimated into love. After chasing it to the isolation station, it also made the heroine's heart begin to have feelings. What changed, in the warm house in the rain, I wanted to stay with the hero for a day or two, and when I arrived at the village in front, it was the parting place. However, the restrained male protagonist just kissed her hand and insisted on leaving. When the heroine went upstairs, the hero had a cholera attack, and the hero could not walk. He used the method he learned to treat the heroine, and he was almost on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the effort paid off and he was rescued. The heroine was sent to the village, and the marquis returned, but even in the high-end social places in Paris, the heroine's smile was nowhere to be seen. One letter after another was sent to Milan, waiting for a reply. Like a father, the marquis watched the heroine receive a reply from the window, knowing that he could only let the heroine leave.

It's a pity that I only found one source with poor translation and image quality. If you have a good source, please recommend it. I really want to watch it again.
