The picture of the movie is very beautiful, and there are a few scenes that I have to pause to enjoy slowly, which makes people unable to bear to continue.
It is said that the bitch is ruthless, but this movie gives a flesh-and-blood, sincere "" bitch" image. Knowing that her lover died in vain, Tina, who was a prostitute, chose her own unique way of remembering - revenge. She sold her body in exchange for her lover's whereabouts, killed the marshal who tore up the amnesty book, and killed the cold shot in the back. Directly kill the sergeant who hired someone. Before being sent to the guillotine, he said to the heroine: I have no regrets. It's just a pity that my long hair will be cut off, and I can't meet her lover like Joan of Arc. I can't say she deserves the title, but at least for that moment, she was divine in my eyes.
Little Rochelle's mother went to the hospital to visit the man who lost her memory. When she sat beside the sleeping man and stroked the man's cheek, the man opened her eyes and asked "Who are you?", the mother pretended to be herself. The male protagonist of his son who died in the battle said with tears in his eyes, "I am your mother". At that moment, she saved the souls of two people.
Knowing that the male protagonist was still alive, the group went by car, and suddenly the aunt burst into tears, "I don't believe you, I feel very guilty." Except for the heroine, everyone decided that the hero was dead, and kept the heroine sober. There were teasing, teasing, and blocking, but the heroine just smiled and looked out the window.
Many people like the last picture. The heroine sits upright on the chair with her hands folded on her knees. She hasn't seen each other for three years, but she doesn't say much. She just quietly looks at her fiance who is thinking about it, the lush garden. The sun is shining brightly, and then the camera zooms out and ends. Compared to this, I prefer the scene from the previous moment. After the female protagonist was well dressed, she came to the male protagonist's manor, and the housekeeper told her that he was waiting for her in the garden. The female protagonist, who has difficulty walking, stepped up the steps with difficulty but firmly, and pushed open the closed yellow wooden door. I felt that after the wooden door squeaked open, the female protagonist disappeared into the darkness. The plot allows the audience to imagine, and it can be regarded as a beautiful ending. (Of course, the ending of this film is also great!)
A very beautiful film, the French are so romantic that they are outrageous!

    The heart-pleasing love and the cruelty of the war delayed the wedding for too long.

    [Wu Da] Before watching this film, you should watch "Amelie" first to understand the director's characteristics and the heroine's style, otherwise it will be difficult to understand some of the narrative styles of this film, such as the director's precise description of the time and the capture of detailed shots . In addition, you can also take a look at "Two Little No Guess", whose heroine is the outstanding prostitute in this film. Without understanding this, it is difficult to understand the implication of the first sentence she said to the heroine in prison.
