Only in its shape but not in its spirit

Chufu's tribute to Hitchcock. It's a pity that he had to have his form but not his spirit. The story happened, developed and ended in a natural way. The director showed the truth and explained it in an all-knowing and all-powerful way. So there is only a rough body of a genre film left in the movie, which at first glance seems like a big cut, but when you look closely, it is boneless. Even Jeanne Moreau became rigid and cramped, as if suddenly she could not act. The fiction and reality of the movie seem to have two realms: one is to restore life and reproduce the real, such as Chu Fu's "Four Hundred Strikes" and "Antoine Series", even the absurd plots are details of life The allowed absurdity; the other is to render fiction and assumptions into artistic reality. Like many of Godard's films, he often tells you clearly, "I'm making a movie", always reminding the audience that this is just a movie, but he Emotionally and spiritually gives the truest condition. Although "Wear" is not satisfactory, it has made a perfect record of that era (the 1960s) from the perspectives of anthropology, sociology and aesthetics. No matter what we eat, wear, live in, and travel, we can find a new way to find it through this film. Go back, or construct that era, which is the so-called nostalgia of the era. Such as last year's other French film "Naughty Nicolas".

The Bride Wore Black quotes

  • Fergus: I simply must tell you about my nightmare. Listen to this. It's morning, I'm in the street, I'm dressed, and there are only women. No, there are on women, only men. So I walk along - only men. Not a single woman. And then I wake up in a cold sweat. But everything's fine, because it's only a dream.

  • Fergus: I walk around the neighborhood in the evenings and look the girls over in the cafés, the way that some nuns do while collecting alms. "I've collected from that one. That one, not yet. I'll have to try her."
