About a third of the way through the film, I used a pencil I picked up to write on a sticky note:
ever since the Latin guitar, Scott Fitzgerald turns around.
Goosebumps all over.
The lingering, delicate, and unrestrained guitar seems to be able to take your mind and even your body to any place, but it will never make people feel unexpected and abrupt, just like Gil's adventures. Ever since Gil took Inez and waited for the classic car to arrive at midnight, I wondered, is this movie meant to tell people: Believe, it will come true?
When I first saw the poster for the film, I thought the guy in the blue shirt tucked into the flared pants would be Woody Allen himself (the picture was too small to see if he was wearing black-rimmed glasses).
Judging from those extremely unreliable introductions, I thought it was a traditional American family adventure film. Mom and Dad brought two babies, preferably a loli and a wife. The family was about to move to Paris, but when they encountered problems, they started the story...
Another thing on the poster that attracted me was Van Gogh's under the stars. Maybe it was because I just saw the real work the day before yesterday. I was bored and in a bad mood. When I didn't want to sleep, I picked this movie to watch.
In the first few minutes, the scene changes from every angle like a sightseeing promotional film seem to convey to the audience the director's feelings for the city. Maybe it's a color matching issue. The light yellow light with a very realistic feeling matches the summer season, which can give people a sense of intimacy.
Although I still have to tick the option of revealing key plots when I submit it later, I really don't want to go into details about the content.
Just wanted to talk about some of the insights I got from watching the film. Gil started his journey to the golden age half asleep, and I was excited and excited with him. See the Fitzgeralds, Hemingway, Cole Porter with him. When Fitzgerald turned to come from the newspaper, I shuddered, and suddenly felt that the script of the film was very creative. Zelda's performance is excellent, far better than Owen Wilson's Blondie Cinderella.
One of the heroines in the film, Cotillard, as a high-end fruit in the 1920s, is also looking for her golden age. She also yearns for and finally sees everything in the beautiful age and finally stays in her dream. inside. Maybe Gil bought it from a street book stand, a memoir she wrote when she was trapped and lonely in the Belle Époque, or it might have been written down by herself when she discovered that Belle Époque was a dream, but she could no longer find the Gil she loved in her heart. A few lines of diary.
Regarding the content that is too deep, I don't want to dig into it intentionally, I just think Woody Allen's tribute is very sincere and very interesting.
After the middle of the film, it began to gradually fall into mediocrity, but Dali, played by Adrien Brody, made people's eyes shine. When he said that he was thinking of rhinos, I laughed out loud. He is a distinctive character with his own unique charm, and like all the other characters in the movie, it is enough to be entertained for a long time.
Gil came to Paris with humility, confusion about his life and pursuit of his dreams (here, he was unwilling to be a professional writer and would rather become a writer), and after this experience, or can be said to be fate Leading through this encounter, and finally met an answer that can satisfy the audience on a rainy night.
Regarding this answer, the clerk of the old record store, at least her role is a little girl. From her story-laden eyes and her veiled, somewhat sly expression, I think she too may have been chasing her golden age from some time in the future.
As for the concept of the golden age, the film gives us some inspiration. As Paul said, it is a kind of dissatisfaction with real life. As Stein said, it is a kind of writers should lead readers to see to the belief that exists in an empty life. Just this morning I was thinking if I could live in the 70's and 80's and breakdance forever in pullback shoes or be a Hippie with two fingers and make peace or stay together The long hair on the chest is wearing leather pants with radishes stuffed in the middle, and he is holding the guitar and tossing the hair to and fro. That was my golden age.
But in short, dust to dust, dust to dust. The reason why each era has become a golden age is precisely because people in that era have a longing for beauty, and even a yearning for another era. Therefore, they strive to pursue and use their own energy to change the world one after another. to radiate their influence. Although I still have to face the real troubles, fears, and hardships. However, their efforts did not dissipate over time, but through the polishing of time, they became a treasure island with a unique charm in every place.
What is called the golden age is beautiful, and a beautiful age is built by dreams, supported by hard work, and filled with people's beliefs.
