Finally watched it last night, wanting to see how far Sophia could disappoint me.
Turns out... I like it! !
Most people's criticism of this film is that it is a glimpse of light, trivial and empty. That's right, the whole film is like Queen Mary's blog. It records all the trivial things in life, a little bit of joy, a little bit of worry, it is irrelevant in the end. Should I wear lake blue satin high heels at the banquet, or the bright yellow ivory sculpture? For pink shirts, should the cuffs be inlaid with roses or not? Shouldn't these be the most important things in a little queen's day? Whether the people of Paris eat bread or cake has nothing to do with her life, nor is it within the scope of her experience.
The audience wanted to see the queen who was guillotined, the woman who was caught in the torrent of history. Obviously Sophia was not prepared to do this. The historical background was extremely watered down. The French Revolution and the American War of Independence were all separated from the other side of the screen. Inside the screen is the dream of prosperity and wealth on earth. In some cases like the Kaiyuan and Tianbao period, if it were not for the instigation of Yuyang Kui, the neo-shangyuyi song would not be broken. This "Queen Mary" breaks away from the grand narrative, historical evaluation, and extremely subjectively shows the life of a woman, even though this woman is the queen of France. After a long night of fun, I went to the water to watch the sunrise, the fresh morning dew mixed with the smell of hangover alcohol. Missing his lover in the dull card game, he slipped out halfway, couldn't restrain the sweetness in his heart, and ran shatteredly on the gorgeous palace corridor. Secretly went to Paris to attend a masquerade party, rushed back to Versailles, the sky was twilight, and he stretched out his arm in the carriage to caress the morning breeze. I believe that on the eve of Queen Mary's guillotine, all she would think of were these tiny flashes, not the so-called major historical events. In fact, everyone is the same, as in Proust's pen, when we mourn and grow old, all we think of are madeleine cookies lightly dipped in black tea.
Sophia even downplayed the sense of time and space. The costumes of the scenes in the film strictly follow the gorgeous and sweet Rococo style, but the soundtrack is rock style. Songs from bands such as Bow wow wow, the radio dept, etc. perfectly set off the enjoyment and addiction in the film.
A transcript: "Sophia Coppola looked for inspiration from the songs of the "Neo-Romanticism" (Neo-Romanticism) in the 1980s when writing the script, because the "Neo-Romanticism" itself was very popular in the 18th century. The music school influenced by the luxury trend of this music school happened to form a strong sense of opposition between the boring feeling of traditional rock music and the angry mood of punk music when it was popular. This music school emphasizes the charm and luxury fashion style. Fun with hedonism. "
Sophia has always been good at choosing music. In "Lost Tokyo", the old man and the young woman kissed and bid farewell on the street, and drove through the streets of Tokyo in a car, looking at the bustling and exaggerated street scene outside the window. At this time, the jesus and mary chain’s just like honey The music rang. I was stunned for a moment, and the old heart couldn't help but tremble... The
film was very beautiful. That kind of drunken gold fan, because it was on the eve of the doomsday building of the Empire; like the same flower blooming to the extreme, I know how to pick it up. Only withered, so desperately glamorous.
The film stopped abruptly when Queen Mary and Louis XVI escaped from the Palace of Versailles, omitting the most exciting ending.
Mary stared at the palace garden in the evening.
Louis XVI asked: You like Bodhi Avenue, right?
Mary said: I'm saying goodbye to it.
Everything is like a dragonfly, and then passing by.
