what Paris is like, is it the last tango of passion or a wild rose swaying in desire and emotion? Obviously, the above answers are just one aspect of the answer. Like any city, Paris is an "imaginary community" pieced together from countless life perspectives. After watching this movie, I didn't look up the director's background or even the name. I just wanted to pay my respects to the director's sincerity and talent. Many people have said too much about Paris, about the French style, and the understanding of the people behind this term. They have written too much and filmed too much. But this director gave me a "meta-understanding" about Paris-if you are looking for passion, if you follow the trend, if you want to smell the most popular perfume and see the most avant-garde clothing, you can go to Paris, but you Never enter Paris. I have never understood the sentence "Paris is not France" before. Seeing this sentence, I found a bunch of political, geographic, and economic excuses to fool me. But now I suddenly know that this sentence is actually not so mysterious. Just as I said that Shanghai is not China and New York is not the United States. In fact, it alluded to "city people are not complete people", and Parisians are not just Parisians. It's as simple as fashion perfume.
After reading it, I thought this look was a post-modern work, but today I suddenly got a new insight. I even think this is a realist work—a meticulously crafted realism. The director used his changeable lens language and appropriate color expression to reproduce the complete picture of life in a city in front of us in a controlled manner, but we felt uneasy and unfamiliar like seeing ourselves naked in the mirror. Indeed, the question of "what is life" is a question that has been discussed by countless people, and the French seem to be more interested in this question. When I see the characters in the camera, I suddenly have a kind of respect for them-that is A group of people who respect life. The keywords of death, existence, anxiety, and passion in post-modern culture are actually integrated into the lives of such a group of ordinary people. In urban life, if we are content with sensuality, suits and shoes, and a busy life style, then we will obliterate all the sources of art and the sense of sublime, but the "Parisians" in the film show In the face of the struggle of the world in the face of transcendence, how commendable this struggle is!
Among these characters, I was most interested in Professor Luo Lan. This restless and yearning professor silently showed his resistance to the urban life model and yearning for true feelings in the film. He developed feelings for one of his own female students with extraordinary temperament, an irrational and transcendent feeling, and the development of this feeling in the following article developed smoothly. Until the moment the truth was revealed, I seemed to be able to appreciate Roland's feelings outside the bar window-he invited the wrong person to act together in a noble emotional story. This plot setting really touched me, and my ears seemed to ring the deafening slogan "God is dead, we want to embrace the earth." Obviously Luo Lan is someone who is reluctant to give up to God, but has no alternative. Those who embrace the earth, his embrace of the earth does not have the awe-inspiring and destructive pleasure of Nietzsche, what is left is a monologue of lost life, this relationship is destined to be a solo dance.
There is no left or right in Paris, there are only restless life wingers.
