    The philosophical content mentioned several times is still related to the plot, but I don't like to talk about philosophy in the form of books in movies. Aunt Yu's role, Binoche, would be very good too. Seeing Aunt Yu playing a role that is not so thirsty, not indifferent, and so reconciled to herself, I feel like it's a waste... (And I really like the clothes of middle-aged intellectual women....

    The story of a middle-aged woman's "midlife crisis" and the relationship between the three generations of mother and daughter, as well as the relationship with her husband and family, although life is full of setbacks and helplessness, she must continue to live in the future. How would it be? Even if you complain about the injustices of life, you have to continue to...

    Philosophy is philosophy and life is...

    Originally it was noise and commotion, but she said "Let me go, I don't want to", and it became trees, honeysuckle and...

    Three-and-a-half stars, I can't see at a glance the movies that refer to philosophy. The way the French-style daily life account runs, I can't see the obvious structure and use of symbols, but the black cat's departure and stay are quite impressive to me. Compared with the director's previous work, it may be about the unsustainable but continuous process of life, but this time it is not about the youth of electronic music, but philosophy and...

    In a small and precise (internal) sarcasm, Natalie listened to an unfamiliar American ballad proclaiming freedom, but just like the black cat her mother left behind, she went to the wild to catch a mouse for a long time, and then looked around and returned to Paris. The stockings of life are strangled by oneself, grace and rationality will become the shell on the...

    "It's amazing when I think that the kids are gone, my husband abandoned me, my mother died, and I've found freedom again. Total freedom. I've never had this experience." I cried so sadly on a bed that didn't belong to me in the small farm building. A friend reminded me of a detail: when the husband moved out, he took Levinas and Buber's books, and left behind...

    Philosophical films are also the contemporary dilemmas of philosophy. If philosophy cannot deal with the problems that occur in reality, how should its existence be...

    The conflict between intelligence and sensibility seems to exist only in non-actors, and there is no difference in essence between the extreme realization of intelligence (student) and the freewheeling of sensibility...

    Although borrowing the background of the times such as school strikes, protests, delaying retirement, and Sarkozy, the midlife crisis is universal and eternal: retirement, divorce, children leaving the nest... sudden loneliness and freedom make people feel at a loss. There are many walking and lying positions, and the anxiety and fatigue are overwhelming. The situation of the three generations of women, the old, middle and young, is despairing. The helplessness of knowing and doing is difficult...

    Pascal's words read by the heroine at her mother's funeral in "Things to Come"

    In her mother's funeral speech, the hostess read an excerpt from Pascal's "Book of Thoughts", which talks about the confusion and loss of belief. This passage is very in line with the heroine's state of mind after experiencing her husband's betrayal, mother's death, and children growing up and...

    Chicken feathers that can't fall to the ground

    After reading it, I first went to see the director's age, and told myself that the female director had not yet experienced middle age and artificially created panic, which made me feel better. Women in their fifties have experienced the betrayal of their husbands, the death of their mothers, the...

Things to Come quotes

  • Nathalie Chazeaux: Julie is recalling her former passion, unrequited with SaintPreux . She had hope to know true bliss with him and this hope made her happy, Julie can then be happy substituting dream for reality.

  • Nathalie Chazeaux: I prefer a text a bit rhapsodic by someone who thinks out of the box over the bland writing of marketing fiends.
