Eternal leisurely trance

The heroine of the film, francesha, 27, dreams of becoming a professional dancer, and sophie, her best friend from college, rents a place where young and literary people gather in brooklyn, new york. The film begins with two girls in their daily lives, walking in the park, reading books, watching movies, smoking, and sleeping in the same bed. No wonder Francesha feels like a couple of lesbians who no longer have sex. Frances wants to continue like this and even breaks up with her boyfriend, but Sophie wants to move to tribeca in Manhattan. Obviously, Frances can't pay the rent in Manhattan, so the two break up. After that, Frances's life plummeted, his relationship with Sophie was tense, he failed in his job, had no place to live, drifted around, and even went back to Paris. After hitting a wall, he had to accept a clerical job in a dance company. This kind of plot sounds very old-fashioned, a middle-class white young girl, struggling to find her dream in New York, and struggling with her self-recognition. Isn't this the kind of plot in HBO's "Girls"? If you like "girls", you will definitely like this movie, if you don't like "girls", you may as well watch it, because this movie is so gentle and so pleasant and moving. The heroine Francesha has a dazzling personality and will be a character you can't forget. She will soon enter the 30-year-old mark, and everyone around her is accelerating into adulthood, her work is on the right track, and she is dating boyfriends and girlfriends with stable careers. frances is left behind, her ethereal dancer dreams are crumbling, her income is so low that she is almost bankrupt, even her closest friend sophie All the news came from the mouths of others, and together with the family, they could only cover up their current situation and pretend that everything was going well. frances doesn't show hysteria at all, which is very different from the heroine Hannah in "girls", she will be tired and depressed, but it may be due to natural nature frances' mental state is generally positive, like she is running wild on the street alone It looks so free and easy. Although she eventually compromised and accepted the clerical job she had rejected, the comedy of the film's handling earned her praise for the job, and finally had the money to rent an apartment of her own. Some people may think that it is sad that she gave up her dream and succumbed to the ending of life, but I have the opposite view, because not everyone's life is an inspirational drama, frances is a pure and good girl, she has that eccentric charm, at least attracted three men . But she may not really be a good dancer, at least her dancing in the movie is nothing extraordinary, maybe she will gain new results if she changes her work direction such as choreography. It is undeniable that the quality of chasing dreams makes her more attractive. If she can't make it in her life, she can't always be on the verge of bankruptcy and wander around. Director noah baumbach's previous work "The Squid and the Whale" revealed that middle-class intellectuals are bloody. This time, the script written by Greta Gerwig (who plays Frances) has been changed to face the bleak, with some feminine softness and delicacy, especially among the characters. The dialogue has contributed a lot of wonderful lines, smart and life-like. Greta gerwig's journey of independent films has finally come to the fore. It is said that when a girl first came to New York, she wanted to be on Broadway. Now, isn't it also impressive to act as a screenwriter? Francesha also has her own shadow to some extent. . Nowadays, there are more and more female directors and screenwriters. Feminine perspective is not an earth-shattering new thing. Women in movies are no longer always in a stagnant state of being appreciated or even objectified by men. The theme of "francesha" is excellent and sublimated. The most drastic changes in life come from work and falling out with good friends, which means that the core of the heroine's life is outside of love and marriage, and in the end, Frances relies too much on herself for safety, and it is also a woman who provides her opportunities. From a practical point of view, the heroine lives alone in New York, where the rent is extremely high, and the rent is indeed much more important than that of men. I like the director's clever trick, that is, not to shoot a New York landmark, but to make the audience feel that this is New York all the time, having a meal in Chinatown, urinating on the subway tracks, this kind of medium and close-up small New York and brightly lit buildings The contrast of Paris is so stark, and it is not clear whether the temperament of the city has infected the people living in it. New York is a reality that is not beautiful but kind. Paris is a dreamland where Frances walks alone and is lonely and alienated. After all, people must return to reality. Isn't it a symbol that frances sleepwalks in Paris for two days and returns to New York? New York City plays a supporting role in almost all the stories that take place in New York, and its literary atmosphere pours out "francesha" and makes people fascinated by it. The advantage of low-cost independent art films is that the director can play whatever he wants. Pay tribute to the new wave, the film is black and white, and the editing and soundtrack of the camera recreates the old French people, which is enough to attract a lot of literary and artistic young film lovers. Into Quentin's eyesight has become the top ten of the year. The dialogue of the film promoted by dialogue is carefully written, the technical details are exquisite, even if the emotion does not come from the lines, just a few beams of light and a long mirror can give you goosebumps. "francesha" is in both hands, making us spectators very comfortable, and after watching the movie, there is a little heart echoing, this is the so-called good movie. frances chose david bowie as the background music cool
