On Jill, no matter how you look at it, there is a shadow of the director himself. Maybe they both want to be an independent writer who can write great things, not a vulgar playwright bought out by Hollywood. So, the director arranged for Jill to get lost in the streets of Paris in 2010, and had an absurd and funny but beautiful and romantic dream.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, just as the bell rang, a wonderful thing happened. An antique car drove by slowly, and the people in the car strongly invited him to attend a party. Slightly drunk, he was pulled into the car, traveled through time, and came to the yearning for the 20th century... At the banquet, Jill was surprised to find that the famous musician Cole Potter was playing and singing in front of the piano, accompanied by brisk love songs. "Let's Do It," he met the Fitzgeralds, Hemingway, and had a great conversation, and over the next few nights, Jill met big names and Gert Rud Stein, Picasso, Adriana, Dali, Eliot, Matisse, Man Ray, Buñuel (director of "Destroying Angels"), etc.
The director borrowed these characters to express a lot of his views, such as: "We are all afraid of death and puzzled by our place in the universe, but the role of an artist is not to bow down to despair, but to find solutions to fight against the emptiness of existence. Medicine."
Adriana's facial features are very delicate. She is Picasso's lover. She is learning costume design from Coco Chanel. Jill was deeply attracted by her when she first saw her. At that time, the line with her as a model was placed in the living room like a volcano. Squirting woman portrait. The subsequent development is like the beginning of all romantic relationships, full of sweetness, fantasy, excitement, adventure, Adriana and Jill travel through the carriage to Paris in the 1890s, which is what Adriana is thinking about. "Belle Epoque", in the Bar Maxime and the Moulin Rouge, met the big men Degas and Gauguin again in an incredible way. They sat around a small round table and talked, and they seemed not at all satisfied with the era they were in, and wanted to go back to the Renaissance period with masters such as Da Vinci, Titian, and Michelangelo. Adriana decides to stay in this "beautiful era", which is her golden age, and Jill is a person since 2010. He feels that the twentieth century is the golden age he remembers. During the dispute, he seems to have Having an epiphany, he refused to stay and chose to return to the real Paris.
On the drizzling streets of Paris in 2010, by the Seine:
"Okay, it's raining."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of getting wet."
"Really?"
"Really. In fact, Paris is the most beautiful in the rain. "
I think so too, I always say it! I can't agree more! Yes, it's more beautiful indeed!"
"By the way, my name is Gabriel."
"I'm Jill, nice to meet you, you have a beautiful name."
We live in the contemporary age, why should we cherish the lost golden age from time to time? The star-studded Republic of China, the Song Dynasty in the paradise of literati, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States in which a hundred schools of thought contend, the alienation of time and space makes people yearn for it. In fact, just like the protagonist in the film, Ye Gong is just a good dragon.
The golden age, perhaps right now, is around.
