I watched "The Pilot's Wife" on the weekend after the debriefing week, the opening of Rohmer's "Comedy and Proverbs" series, and also met Rohmer, the second French New Wave director after Agnès.
The film tells the story of what happened to François, a second-year junior high school student, in a day when his self-esteem was bruised by jealousy. The male protagonist is tossing and turning between his older girlfriend Anne and the girl he met Lucie, very much like us when we were young. At the same time, he feels that love is loyalty, exploring the truth, and the distress of love is the whole of life. Encounters are heart-wrenching, keep secrets, or show off inadvertently, according to Yang Li's words, "Men are very ordinary, but they are so confident." The four people in the film are frighteningly straightforward. Not only what they say is what they think, but they also do what they say. However, in the eyes of the other party, these straightforward expressions seem like lies and deceit, making the transformation after the misunderstanding is resolved more like introspection. But it can't erase the delicate egoism rooted in the concept of love.
The film progresses very calmly, with no ups and downs, only the director's rationality like peeling cocoons from the side, grasping the minds of young men and women like the palm of his hand, plus the simple and clean film structure and color matching, and the French chatter (stop for the director). Taiwan, the French in life really sounds like ramble...), which makes the film have a unique flavor.
Some commented that "The Pilot's Wife" has nothing to do with morals, but I can't agree with it. The original intention of moral is to be full of senses and feelings. Sympathy is the basis of human and human morality. Who would be persistent in hypocrisy? In a warm, fresh and romantic relationship?
PS paste the lyrics at the end of the credits,
Paris m'a séduit...Et maintenant la nuit maléfique et troublante tombe sans apporter de calme ni de paix, c'est à peine si la rumeur est moins grondante, et le coeur de Paris ne s'arrête jamais.
Love without being the most annoying.
