Unconventional script and unsatisfactory effects

There are a lot of bright spots in the script itself. One is the reality of the Internet. This part of the plot is quite similar to the "Qiao Biluo" incident that was hyped some time ago, and Claire's identity has introduced another means of blurring the boundary between fiction and reality - writing. The second is to explore the desire and psychology of modern women. The passages from the famous novels that Claire recounts in class in the film happen to refer to several female figures of different historical stages, and they are also projected into her fictional "creation" in some form. For example, from Mariana, who had to rely on servants to resist an arranged marriage in Moliere's "The Hypocrite", to Nora, who ran away voluntarily in Ibsen's "A Doll's House", women gradually awakened in the process of resisting the lewd power of the patriarchal society. , complete the reversal of its own status, from being a male prey and "doll" to a male "doll" predator. And Claire's online dating with Alex as Clara's virtual identity, to a certain extent, is to use this young man as a "doll" to relieve her loneliness and sexual distress - which also led her to see Alex suffering The situation of not being in love with, and feeling guilty after hearing that Alex "suicide", so he made up his own death at the end of the novel to atone for his sins. For another example, Claire admires Duras' "The Lover", and in her novel of redesigning the online dating story, she can not only face her lover Alex as a middle-aged woman over fifty years old, but also face her lover Alex. Make the other person fall in love with her - in Claire's imagination, happiness is like Duras, who can still win the love of Xiao Xianrou at a vicissitudes of life ("I think you are more beautiful now than when you were young. With you I love your devastated face more than the face you looked at back then"), and then enjoy the pleasure of the flesh with him, and read Rilke's super sweet love poem "Goug Out My Eyes" together.

Goug out my eyes and I can still see you, plug my ears and I can still hear you; without feet I can walk to you, without my mouth I can still pray to you. Break my arms and I will still embrace you - with my heart as with my hands. Hold my heart, and my brain will not rest; you set my brain on fire, and I will still trust you with my blood.
A lot of love, far from rhetoric, but still strong and strong, like a silent crater

However, the screenwriters added a lot of elements to the script, but they did not have Duras' talent to design the lines, and the straight-man thinking of director Safy Nebbou seemed to be unable to control the rhythm of the script. As a result, most of the time, he could only rely on Binoche The acting and various close-ups to capture her subtle emotions up orz...

    ! ! An example of a psychoanalytic film, although it is limited by my infant's French level, my understanding is limited. But I love it. Is it still possible for a 50-year-old woman to get love? Will a love that started with a lie be worth continuing and leading to a certain outcome? Which one does he love? The image you create, the inside of you, or you? I really like it, I found out that this Claire and Claire in "Something in the Future" are my favorite "Women Get Older..." gestures. The marriage may be lost, the children may not be by their side, the love is hard to find, and the self may also need to be rebuilt, but they do not lack courage and the ability to love again. They impress me.

    What matters is not who you think I am but who I think I am. The heroine therefore left her true self in other people's stories, but her own story was woven into a lie full of loopholes by her own hands. The author probably wanted to satirize this online dating model constructed by postmodern people using disguise, but unfortunately his work of intertextuality ended up in an unnecessary reversal. You won't see the seamless narrative of "Into the House," or the elusive relationship between "Gloria" and love life. This veiled lack of candid psychoanalysis may remind you of Binoche in "Heartwarming", but she will only remind you of women's jealousy of "Shelly."
