A chapter of love full of chivalry, riding wildly in picturesque mountain villages and exiled in the black night of plague. Plague, death, war, informing, fleeing; crows, wild cats, quarantine camps, abandoned castles; the woman in white with the candlestick in the palm of her hand, a letter to her mother that cannot be sent; the town under the Alps, the Provence countryside and hills, such a story happened : A young Italian colonel longing for revolution, traveled across central Europe where the plague broke out to deliver letters to his comrades in arms. He went through all kinds of hardships on the way. On the way, he met a French woman who was looking for her husband alone, and traveled together in the siege and interception along the way. Women's mavericks and men's chivalry make them turn around and escape from death again and again and never really show emotions. Survive the bad luck again and again, only to be separated? Years later she was still sending hopeless letters looking for a house he might have lived in in that town with a view of the snow-capped mountains. Suddenly a letter came from Italy one year, and the ending came to an abrupt end. . . . .
This should be a love movie through and through. Nearly one-half of the beginning is a one-man show with the male protagonist. It is a long and tiresome foreshadowing. The supporting characters of animals all have detailed long shots, but there is no substantial progress. Two-thirds of the time, the heroine asked the hero's name, but the atmosphere of love pervaded the whole time, and the end of the point was full of reverie and aftertaste. It was the fire of love and love that was still bred secretly but did not go beyond the rules in the era of war and chaos. Is this the love of a knight, or the pursuit of French cinema? In the film he is really a light cavalry.
I always felt that the letter they wrote would be signed like this, with a chivalrous signature: humbly yours XXXX~
[postscript] "The Hussar on the Roof" is a work that was written 10 years ago. I always knew it, but I didn't read it until today. arrive. But knowing that the hero and heroine achieved a marriage off-screen was a sensation. It seems to have added a heavy touch to the unfinished movie. Legends always make people look forward to and excited. Always happy with the happy ending. I checked their current situation, and it turned out that they had already become strangers. Can legends really not survive in reality? This beautiful man fell in love with a sexy superstar again, and suddenly the woman suffered from breast cancer, which made the pair of lovers who were on the verge of love become firmer. This is probably the latest news. Are there still legends in this world? Just changed the protagonist. Suddenly I remembered that there was a beautiful young woman in the first half of the film.
What a sad and happy world~~~
The scenery in the movie is really good.
The director's "Love with a Big Nose" is also a masterpiece of costume films.
