"Either say everything, or say nothing, so that I can see where I am going. Instead of being in this state of not knowing who I am and what I should do. Not knowing I don’t understand my own situation, nor do I understand my responsibilities. I am bent on finding true beauty, and I want to follow it. As long as I have eternity in my heart, there is no price to pay.”
This movie is healing in my opinion.
Philosophy is beautiful, like a spring flowing slowly through the mountains and forests. A female philosophy teacher over forty, her husband cheated, her child grew up, and her mother died, just as Natalie herself said, "for the first time so free." Not knowing what to do for a while, I cried sadly on the bus, and the narration expressed the above thoughts. Fortunately, there is philosophy, a fulfilling spiritual life, and a student Fabian.
Natalie was dressed in a red floral suspender dress, casually tied a high ponytail, stepped barefoot on the soft green grass, sat down in a suitable place, lay down and began to read. When the exchange of ideas took place in the primitive countryside, the old and fat black cat became the most faithful companion. Dizzy from trying marijuana, Natalie asks Fabien to tell her his story, two sofas, a quiet conversation on this dim but night.
Natalie's love for philosophy, her simplicity and dedication to book covers, her love for her student Fabien, and the tenderness around her mother even when she complains on the phone, all give us the power to soothe our hearts invisibly. Watching a movie being followed by a strange man and kissing at the entrance of a subway station, rejoicing at the birth of my daughter's baby, cooking a delicious chestnut-stewed hen for the kids on Christmas Eve...
Time flies, and life goes on.
