French teacher Gilman was amazed at his student Claude's observational and narrative abilities, and he decided to give him special tutoring, hoping that he would one day become a first-class writer. He reads the text he peeps, leading him to artistic imagination of the true narrative. The inevitable conflict challenges the plot that readers expect, Claude gradually puts literary elements into ordinary life, and he uses an artistic way to plan the development of the story. "Even with bare feet, the rain can't dance", when Esther repeatedly chewed a poem written by a young boy to herself, when this ordinary family of three quietly changed. Life is full of artistic tension. Ordinary life may deduce red and black, Madame Bovary, and even Anna Karenina. The Raphael family, ordinary French people, unwittingly became figures in art. Meanwhile, Claude and Gilman have also changed. To avoid a possible tragic end, this literary dialogue had to come to an abrupt end at some point where it was on the verge of breaking out. Gilman realizes that he has gone too far. In fact, he has been confusing the boundaries between art and life. He pinned his artistic ideals on the budding 16-year-old boy, and he unrealistically helped him to create The lives of others are silently peeped and recorded. Martyrs in art often make life very messy. He lost everything, only Claude sat beside him and watched the ordinary life of ordinary people in every house when he watched the lights of thousands of homes with him.
Some people say that this film is about human nature, the desire of youth, the instinct of voyeurism. And I prefer it to explore the simple and eternal debate between the truth of art and the truth of life. Metaphors about the debate between art and life are everywhere. Gilman's wife, Jenna, runs an avant-garde art gallery. Every artwork in the gallery has strong hints. The swastika of male penis, which combines patriarchy with fascism, is a direct and fierce attack on patriarchal society. The male inflatable doll with female genitals and breasts is a more naked and aggressive irony. It takes courage to insist on artistic ideals and the spirit of feminism. Jenna's art gallery is facing closure because it cannot sell a piece of art. She shows us that art is art, ideals are ideals, and life is still inseparable from money. Esther has always been eager to renovate her house. Esther, who does not know German, has paintings by German modernist painter Paul Klee at home. Claude told her that the paintings are called "Redemption", "Blocking" and "Blocking". Hope, Destruction. For this middle-class family, art is only a part of the decoration. The profound artistic proposition is dissolved in the color of the wall and the surrounding furniture. What matters is not the metaphor of the painting, but the harmony with the environment. And the person who blurs the line between art and life to the point of obsession is none other than Gilman. Perhaps it was the unstoppable yearning for great writers and great works for a long time, or the helplessness of his artistic ideals stranded, he and Claude weaved a piece of literary beauty together.
To live life as art, tragedy is always inevitable. In fact, art is a flower of life. It can be a bland wild flower or a fragrant rose. Even if the fragrance of flowers is like the sea, and we are intoxicated and do not know the way back, we still have to find a path to reality and live a solid life in potatoes and cabbage. Art is just a girl who passes by and looks back and is endowed with too much imagination by you. She exists in your spiritual world, occasionally comforting your soul and taking you away from the trivialities of reality. If you really want to dedicate your life to her, I am afraid that Zhuang Zhou Mengdie is a realm that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
