      The beautiful afterglow of Western court love

      This movie interprets a certain extinct example of Western courtly love. The concept of courtly love originated from the concept of noble knights in Europe expressing love and admiration to ladies. Since then, it has formed the men and women of Western classical civilization. One of the basic modes of getting along. Nowadays, Westerners are generally unfamiliar with this ancient ideology of love because of the abolition of gender equality and class concepts, let alone Orientals. Fortunately,...

      Waterloo of love

      On the surface it is a clever story: the earrings that the earl gave when he got married were sold by the countess, the buyer sold them to the earl, the earl gave them to the lover, the lover sold the earrings, the lover of the countess (1) The baron) bought it again and happened to give it to the countess. The count found out that she was forcing her to give it to his sister, who was short of money and sold it to the buyer. The countess bought it again...

      Every spring comes back to the idiot again, who knows when the flowers fall back then

      In a seminar, Lacan took a novel "The Stolen Letter" by Allan Poe as an example, and analyzed the internal meaning of the letter in the novel in the process of interpersonal circulation. Or a clever change. This article attempts to imitate his analysis and talk about the meaning level of earrings in the progress of the plot. 1. Become a symbol of love. Before the movie started, the earrings had been given to Louise by the general as a wedding gift. Earrings at this time are a...

      Poor life portrayal

      Even if I watched the film more than half a century later, it was still a masterpiece, both in terms of form and content. In fact, this kind of subject matter is not new---a lady who is boring, vain, deliberate, short-lived life---but the reason why this film catches people is that its form is almost perfect, and this vulgar subject matter is elevated immediately. , Vivid.
      Whether it’s the director or Desica, the exquisite yet empty and meaningless revelation of the life of the so-called...

      Earrings of the countess

      Emerald, fur,
      general of the cross , diplomat, Napoleon’s
      marriage, love, Waterloo
      earrings, countess, Louise

          . The first thing that comes to mind when watching this movie is a middle school text Maupassant’s "Necklace." Now I still remember: Mathilde Luizaire. What is connected with the movie is the vanity of a woman. Because of her vanity, Matilde is in debt and has to pay for the hard work of the next half of her life, but she has also grown up as a result. In...

      It's really boring, the kind of blunt narration that knows what's going to happen and doesn't have any surprises. It's like the Chinese class after gym class in midsummer when I was a child. But I can also understand why many people like it, similar to Cleopatra, two powerful men who love themselves and fight for themselves, and regard money and power as dung. Especially...

      The most powerful feeling is the dazzling technique of filming the dance party (feeling that the filming of a person's face is finished, but the mirror in the background has to reflect the details of the uninterrupted dance party) The script is also good and the director also took care of the blindness of the audience's clothes. I noticed that the difference is not given five stars mainly because the heroine's appearance is also a mystery and the intentional "open ending"...

      High society love triangle, it feels like a Hollywood movie in the 1930s and 1940s. The husband played by Charles Boyer is very attractive, and it really matches the heroine's weak and innocent aristocratic lady. Desica is also very attractive. It feels like a typical idealistic romantic personality. Aristocratic women generally like this when they are looking for a...

      It feels a bit similar to "Children of Heaven" for me, with beautiful movement and construction (Children of Paradise is better than with grand scenes and unparalleled mime stars), but I have never liked this kind of "desperate/triggered". /The protagonist's moral struggles are ashes and ashes" erotic routine. The final part of the duel actually happened to Laura Montes, the lover who offended and died in the duel for...

    Evaluation action

    "Diamond Earrings" is a work that has suffered a lot of misunderstandings, but over time, the film has proved its own value and quality. The film is very similar to another film "The Hunt" directed by Max Ophüls in terms of plot structure and character design. The duel and ending in the last half hour are completely simple remakes, but the film is of a high level. The narrative and the camera tell the audience a tragedy about love. The...

    Movie quotes

    • Général André de...: Napoleon was only wrong twice in his life: at Waterloo, and when he said, "The only victory in love is to flee."

    • Opening Title Card: Madame de... was a very elegant, distinguished and celebrated woman, seemingly destined to a delightful, uncomplicated existence. Probably nothing would have happened had it not been for those jewels...

    • Comtesse Louise de...: First, you must promise to tell no one.

      Monsieur Rémy: It's you ladies who bring us our gentlemen clients. Discretion is part of our profession.

      Comtesse Louise de...: I assumed as much.
