dream fairy tale life

The movie is already a classic, no need to say more, re-watching it is still touching. I always watched Emily smile strangely but so contentedly, so when she thought she had lost her love and watched the cat crying silently at her feet, she felt sorry for this silly child. A girl who lacked affection since she was a child, grew up with a strong and optimistic attitude towards life, helped everyone in the town benevolently, and of course there was no lack of evil intentions to make fun of the vegetable shop owner she hated. She made everyone find spiritual satisfaction, so such a lovely girl must be the happy ending that everyone expects. That unusual prince with a bizarre hobby and our princess Emily, whose head is full of whimsy, rode a motorcycle through the undulating stone paths, and the old man of God would nod and smile when he saw it. A good match.


Emily is a wonderful girl, his life is a fairy tale, and fairy tales are often deeply rooted in the youngest and purest part of everyone's heart. The movie uses rich and bright colors to express Emily's candy-like town life, which is also one of the elements that deeply attracts me. I think my heart is definitely dominated by girlish feelings, and I imagine from time to time how I would arrange my own small house—
an old and comfortable big house, with some mottled wooden doors and old-fashioned door handles. The walls of the house are affixed with different styles of classical pattern wallpaper, the large and soft double bed is placed with several fluffy and clean cotton pillows, a small lamp with a red gauze lampshade is placed on the bedside table, and a small carved flower is purchased from a second-hand store. wooden table covered with red and white checkered tablecloth with lace trim, kitchen closet with delicate cutlery from the grocery store, be sure to have colored glass bead curtains in the house, the sun shines in and reflects on the beads Various colors, there is a three-seat sofa by the wall, which is low and soft. The Christmas red sofa is released. A teddy bear that is almost the size of a person sits on it. When you are lonely, you can lean on it and sleep slowly on the windowsill. Put a few pots of brightly colored flowers, water them with a milky white watering can every morning when you open the window for ventilation, and raise a gray cat with a big bell tied around its neck with a red ribbon.


This is a corner of my utopian life that I know is out of reach, so Emily carries all my good fantasies. After watching the whole movie, I suddenly feel that these new directors who focus on color in Japan have been seriously influenced by this movie? Such as "Matsuko's Disgusted Life", "Wife Killing Story" and "Sakura Chaos"?


In fact, I didn't watch the movie from the beginning at CCTV-6, but its lines left a deep impression on me, so that my favorability for the movie increased again. Poetry is generally sensational. Everyone loves those sentences full of literary and artistic sentiment, but I inexplicably liked the crazy content in Emily's mind when she was 10 minutes late for the prince, coupled with the edited and assembled movie scenes, it made me laugh for a long time, " Emily thought of two reasons, one: he didn't receive the photo; two: he was taken hostage by a group of bank robbers before he could reassemble the photo. The police chased the robber, and the robber escaped, but he hit Car. Woke up, lost his memory. Hits an old man who thinks he's a wanted man and transports him to Istanbul. He encounters Afghan guerrillas and is taken to steal Russian nuclear warheads. But the van goes by mistake in Tajistan In the landmine, he survived the hardship and escaped into the mountains to become a jihadist. After that, he drank borscht soup and wore a fur hat. Such a man, Emily, thinks it is not worth it." It was only ten minutes late. I think this girl is too much for my taste! In fact, this movie is quite humorous, literary and artistic, ironic and funny. It is a story that the public likes to hear and hear.


The soundtrack, some nostalgic, some Parisian, with accordion and piano throughout, blends in with Emily's world and makes people dance. Yann Tierson also scored "Goodbye Lenin", so I really wanted to see that movie, a movie for a composer, which is often the case.


I'm still watching this movie~ um~ Then, I must go to Paris and say to people in the distance when the sun shines on the road in the early morning, "Without you, the beauty of my good times will be told to people!"
