Maybe, when I'm old, I'll forget everyone but you. Of course, based on the present, I guess my wish is to one day read you word for word. (little red)
How realistic is love?
The success or failure of a film lies in a kind of emotion, a state, a narrative, a grammar, and a rhetoric. What attracts people is not the story, not the characters, but the short moments of these little images, the part that connects the viewers' hearts, is a wonderful encounter, the soul is washed away under the moon, and the nakedness is seen.
The film tells the story of actress Young-hee who falls in love with a married male director, travels abroad because of love, and returns to China. The reason why the movie is interesting is firstly because of the ambiguity caused by a high degree of "intertextuality" with reality. The confusing love relationship between Kim Min-hee, who plays Young-hee in the film, and Hong Sang-soo, the director of the film, was an uproar long before the film was released. . Second, in terms of the performance of the film itself, the heroine experienced waiting, bitter love, and suddenly reached the emotional climax. The story unfolded slowly, and the emotional sequence deepened. Jin Minxi's unique explosiveness makes the film concise, powerful, delicate and vivid. The world of Yingxi How lonely, how deep the pain of love.
The difference between life and movies is that life is too "pretentious", on the contrary, movies are closer to "real".
Almost all the scenes in this film are constructed by "Young Hee and her friends". During this period, Young Hee's life state and emotional ups and downs are displayed to the greatest extent in her interactions with her friends. At the same time, she is like a mirror, constantly projecting with the surrounding reality, and under the overlapping reflection, it once again strengthens the loneliness, hesitation, struggle and entanglement in the characters.
The movie set three "emotional relationships" in an understatement, a marriage where German friends "were together because of need, not because of want"; Jiangling senior "You have to get married and have children quickly, don't you, before it becomes more late. "The cohabitation; the crew record and the assistant director have just started a "budding" love.
Under the constant change of people's emotions, the straightforward Young Hee seems to be a little bit sharp, a little bit exciting, and even the feelings that have been fettering her all the time are not very important, and love and dislike are even less important.
Every conversation with her friends, word by word, was like a kind of difficult and painful questioning, the suppressed deep thoughts tortured her, and she couldn't get rid of the rolling sadness, chasing and beating her. Such an enthusiastic person can only have the courage to "question" life when he is drunk.
"Will he miss me as much as I miss him?"
"Senior is also obsessed with living because he can't love, isn't he?"
"None of them are qualified, all of them are despicable, all of them are content with lies, all of them do dirty things, and they all say that it is good, and they all live like this."
How does one get close to another? How can one heart forget another? Love is a kind of creative illusion, for people and all living beings, the love can't stop. At this moment, man himself assumes the role of creator, fabricates an image, endows it with various qualities, and then waits for any romance or love at first sight that is about to take place.
The beautiful Young Hee was as silent as a layer of frost blooming on the cold winter sea in the distance that could melt away at any time.
The tenderness behind the image
The biggest feeling of the whole film, in addition to a sense of emotional penetration, is more valuable is the change of the director's perspective. There are many purely documentary shots in the movie. The movement of the mirror is slow and gentle, as if watching with a kind of caring, and there is care and respect in the gaze.
When I saw the last scene, I always wanted to laugh. In the dream, Yingxi met the director. The old-fashioned director, on the one hand, recited Chekhov's novel "About Love" excitedly, or this is life. There is no intense drama conflict, no effort to deal closely, and there is only one soul who is lost in longing. She is beautiful, thin, eager but lonely.
In general, film creators communicate with audiences through their works. Eastern tastes always prefer to weave a bright structure and then dismantle it. I want to come to Ozu's famous sentence "movies are determined by aftertaste", which is really sudden. .
