After the millennium, exactly starting with "Angels Love Beauty", the French began to concoct this kind of French commercial films that were ignored by elites and film critics, but loved by local and global audiences . The originality of this romantic comedy "Good Dreams One Day Tour" is not new. Many domestic audiences think of "Private Customization" and "Party A and Party B" at first glance. However, the French director produced a dreamy and romantic atmosphere, which I believe Feng Xiaogang can hardly match. The film tells about an old couple who is in a marital crisis. With the help of his son and friends, the actor decides to accept the mysterious experience provided by "Reminiscence Company". The simulated scenes built by movie props and the acting skills of professional actors will help him. Going back to the day when I met my beloved in the bar, relive the beautiful love affair that I fell in love with at first sight, can the actor make his wife fall in love with him again?

There are two couples in the film, one is an old couple who has been married for more than 40 years, and the other is a middle-aged director and a beautiful actor wife. The two couples each show the real problems in their marriage, which is sometimes hilarious and sometimes hilarious. Moving to tears, the script transitions between the two emotional atmospheres with ease, and from time to time it incorporates the cynicism of French politics and social phenomena in the model of the love soap opera. The most powerful thing is that the mediocre topic of marriage crisis is placed in a simulated drama space that re-enacts real memories, in which it is difficult to distinguish between true and false in the drama, which evokes surprises and inexplicable interest, as well as thinking about the essence of love and marriage. . Realistic sense of age and nostalgic details, as well as the help of a group of powerful French film circles, interpret this story to the fullest.

It is a pity that the narrative is closed . Most of the plot layout is too much like Hollywood movies, losing the elegant, flexible and unconstrained state unique to French movies. What makes me most uncomfortable is the depiction of the role of the control freak director . He is too pathologically obsessed with props, costumes, performances, and lines, and even hurt his own wife. It may be called a sacrifice for art, but in fact it seems to expose his distorted mentality of being overly narcissistic and arrogant . Whether this is the real psychological projection of the director of the film is really hard to say. However, having said that, it is understandable that artists have various inconvenient quirks. They often rely on these quirks that are different from ordinary people to inspire endless creative inspiration.
