    Character Evaluation

    If you make a rough comparison between the movie "Lost" and "Cold Water", you will find that Olivier Assayas inherits and changes from narrative to mirror language. It can be said that after nearly ten years of foreshadowing, Assayas's film has completed the transition from youth story to youth discourse, the latter being more subjective, more fragmented, and truly close to the original form of memory. At the same time, it can also be said that the film has completed the transition from youth story to youth portrait, the former is more narrative and continuity, and the latter is more spectacle and objectivity . 
    Olivier Assayas’ films are devoted to daily life. He often puts himself in the depths of life, observes life with a sensitive perspective and mind, and then discovers the people in life, and discovers the subtle changes in people’s emotions in life, which forms A main thread of the Assayas movie. In daily life, Assayas pays most attention to the emotional changes of people, which also has a certain universality. Assayas himself has delicate emotions and is good at discovering the subtle changes in people’s inner world in life. He brings this kind of psychology into film creation-he attaches great importance to the psychology and emotions of characters when dealing with the relationship between people. Minor changes. The love in Assayas's lens is not publicity and lack of passion. His focus is on the precipitation of people's feelings in daily life. Even the fierce love is quite convergent. This kind of affection is in the movie "The Fate of Emotions." It is fully expressed in the novel, making the love with Paulina like Wordsworth’s poems or Flaubert’s novels, slowly and far away. As far as family affection is concerned, Assayas will not burn or intensify the contradictions in the characters' hearts, but express the complexity of human emotions through the changes of inner emotions .

      French foie gras stir-fried with glutinous rice

      One word to describe, yes! I believe that many people think that this plate of rice tastes weird and hard to swallow, but I ate it with relish, and there was not a grain left from the beginning to the end. It seems that Olivier Assayas's reputation as the most anticipated director of the 21st...
