Direct-love

The film is beautifully shot, the color is good, and the protagonist is good. The switching between fast and slow shots, the entanglement of smoke, the mutual touch of young bodies and the mixing of music, are intertwined very sincerely.

The film’s attitude is very direct, the subject is indeed distinct, with the three primary colors of life: love, friendship and sex. Friendship, under the impact of love between men and women, to be exact, love fantasy, mutates into a competition of jealous people. Fortunately, the friendship was finally stitched with tolerance, stronger and more gang; but after the love fantasy cooled, it was so pale. After all, the building of friendship contains sentiment but is more of a rational part. Love is too vague, and love fantasy is even more vain, like the strength of taking medicine and anesthesia. After a period of time, time is still time, not a galaxy. . As for sex, the friendship between men and women is quite natural. If it is not love, there is no need to linger, instinct is instinct, and there is no need to conceal it hypocritically. Does the part of masturbation remind you of yourself?

The clothing in the film reminds me of second-hand stores in Granville. They are all styles of the 60s, 70s and 80s, the color is big red and green, a large string of pearl necklaces, a leopard print cigarette case, and a white matchbox. Many art students put up this huge black Ray-Ban, and then wandered in the street wearing slim-leg pants with music. The film is very realistic on this level.

The outskirts in the film are typical autumn suburbs of Montreal, with yellow leaves all over the ground, bonfire curling, and ambiguous encounters between this smile and licking candy. The safflower quilt reminds me of the safflower quilt on the Kang in the northeastern countryside. They are all rural. In contrast, the countryside in Montreal is more poetic and picturesque.

The red lips in the film are my favorite. I don't know which brand she uses.

Finally, Dalida’s Bang Bang is so nice! Let it go all night!

    All love is imaginary, that's how it is.

    The splendid and rich colors and soft psychedelic techniques show the persistence and collapse of friendship under temptation. This should be the work of Dolan's inspiration bottleneck period? It doesn't feel as natural as "Lawrence on Both Sides", the extravagant image has a sense of stacking, and the sudden insertion of the song is also very free. The blonde boy actually loves only himself; if he doesn't love anyone, he can live comfortably in the love of others. What kind of love is in the illusion, wishful thinking...

Heartbeats quotes

  • Nicolas: Seismography. You bore cables and sensors into the ground. You blow it all up and you can make maps. Based on the vibrations, you can see what's underground.

  • Nicolas: Eating your cherry, Terry?

    Francis: Cherries are too sweet.

    Marie: Fudge is 17 times sweeter than cherries.
