Very simple and good

It was an unintentional afternoon, and my grandma and I sat on the couch and watched the movie in silence.

When the subtitles floated, grandma took off her glasses and slowly spit out one sentence: Very simple, very good.

There can be countless analyses on this melancholy movie. Bright umbrellas hold up the rainy youth one by one, and then put away the memorable memories. Old-fashioned stories, classic endings, stage-like scenes, sung dialogues. You can talk to it about the lack of time, the cruelty of life, or even the ancient "triunes"...

But in the end, you will find that the only comment needed is the sentence: very simple and very good.

    Although the plot is old-fashioned, although the performance is slightly artificial, although the two-word sentence is very happy when it is sung with a long sound, it is really good! hurt! feel! (Theme song "I WILL WAIT FOR YOU" makes sadness grow exponentially) Catherine Deneuve

    I saw the latest restored version. The colors are so beautiful. A very pleasing movie. The scenery and costumes of the characters are so exquisite and amazing, not to mention how beautiful the 20-year-old Deneuve is. Epic love, the ending is kind of abusive. . Every line in the whole process is sung, but it feels more adaptable than the miserable world. .
