Far-fetched refers to the possibility between the prostitute and the client, and the force is only for François and Daniela. The contradiction between these two words gives the whole story an absurd dark humor, as well as a sudden magical color at the end. The spectators fell silent with incomprehensible confusion. Could it be that love is such a thing?
1. How do older bachelors solve the problem of being single
? A middle-aged man with a slight tendency to go bald stares at a bar that offers special services from a distance. His focus was firmly on the woman behind the transparent window. Her expression was calm, but her body was like a sponge, unscrupulously absorbing the gazes of all men. The window was photographed as beautifully as a full moon. Maybe she is the goddess to him at this moment.
He finally walked in and sat down at the bar a little awkwardly.
She gracefully seized the opportunity of this dejected appearance and told him about the beauty behind the red curtain.
He said he won the lottery, more than four million euros.
Her eyes lit up.
He communicated his desire to nurture, setting the deadline to the moment when he had nothing left again.
She got into the car with him, ridiculously asking him to pay a salary up front - because "it's in order".
2. Heart disease
She took him home to pack his things, and he suddenly had a heart attack and fell on the stairs behind. Talking to the doctor about the cause of the disease infinitely revealed the thoughts of an older bachelor:
"Did you see her packing?"
"Yes, isn't she leaving you?"
"Oh no, such a woman is moving into my house. Go."
Like serving a queen, he humbly brought her home with a low status, ridiculously awkward in his own place. She guided the conversation against the customer, and at this time he realized that they didn't know each other's name yet. So we learned that his name was François and her name was Daniela.
They try to play an ordinary couple, but their identities are still clearly misplaced. In the gorgeous soprano singing, Daniela took off her clothes one by one and tried her best to seduce her, but her expression did not diminish; François on the opposite side listened patiently to her every instruction , as if really looking up to the miracle of swans flying in the air. When he finally couldn't hold back and pounced on her, she said that they should start by getting to know each other, such as - kissing quietly. Her expression gradually became dazed, and she said in confusion that it was different from what she had imagined. It turns out that this is a big truth told by Daniela. How can they live quietly like an ordinary couple? Over there, François had another seizure, stimulated by her strong female breath.
3. The doctor friend of François, the heart medicine
, bluntly pointed out the possible dangers of living with a woman like Daniela. Physically, he could not accept such vivid stimulation. The word "prostitute". The doctor's practical, trembling demeanor misleads people into thinking that he is the real pressure side of both François and Daniela, which he is not.
The doctor, who really could not "understand" the passionate life of the two, finally expressed his confusion after one day's meal. He tells the story of a "pure and beautiful love" with a nurse, if it may be called, because he later died suddenly when he was seeing Daniela, unable to bear the powerful stimulation of her flesh.
This plot seems to be extremely ironic. On the one hand, it strongly exaggerates Daniela's allure, and on the other hand, it seems to be humorous to the doctor's many rhetoric. But in my opinion, the director is generous here. He took great pains to show how the doctor gently spoke to the empty pillow on the double bed before seeing the doctor, and at the funeral, he revealed the truth that the nurse had been dead for many years through passers-by at the funeral. It's nothing more than to show the contradictions of an older bachelor and the loneliness that a partner can't find anywhere. More importantly, it explains why François regarded Daniela as a goddess. As each other's only friends, it can be said that the doctor's single life is almost François's.
4. Love is coming
One day, Daniela left. After all, she couldn't bear the days of housewife with noodles in clear soup. She obviously prefers the life of unlimited desire. Depressed François went back to his old place and bargained with a younger prostitute, but Daniela couldn't hold back. They quarrel, and when the young girl accuses Daniela of how lowly she is, François fires back - "You're just like her."
A farce. The night they got together as before, disturbed the female writer next door. Daniela, however, turned a quarrel with a female writer into a contest between two women about happiness.
Every relationship needs a spoiler, and Daniela's husband Charlie plays that role. The lottery prize is still Daniela, and Francois can only choose one of the two. He kept asking Daniela questions, repeatedly weighing Daniela's possible free choices and her low status, and finally he chose to give her up righteously.
And Daniela was not as attached to money as she thought, and she began to hopelessly miss Francois's tenderness beside Charlie. Charlie wasn't as heinous as he said, and he finally let her go. When she came back to François's apartment again, he was with the female neighbor, and there was no tenderness at all like a beast. The director seems to be trying to contrast François's emotional changes, but in this story, no one is loyal to the other. It's just that they don't know that when they not only ask each other, but constantly explore the answer in their hearts, love may be sneaking in.
5. At the end,
François's good colleagues couldn't wait to come to watch Daniela. For a while, a group of demons danced wildly, including Charlie and the female neighbors, all gathered in their small apartment.
When Daniela and a male colleague both disappear, the movie starts to get magical in the midst of its previous tumult. Francois was hysterical in the tense crowd, but he finally saw the intimate two people in the skylight, but only the eyes that made people feel pity, compatible with pain and understanding, or can be called a man's grief. Instead, it was Charlie who magically shot her in the chest. It's the most thought-out part of the whole movie, but it still feels like Charlie's fantasy, because they also know there's nothing they can do about a woman like Daniela who always puts her desire first.
In the last scene, the clothes hanging around the rooftop are François and Daniela sitting opposite each other. She asked about his heart, and he said it would be fine after meeting her. Yeah, how can one withstand a woman like Daniela without a tough heart? At this moment, the two are not so like an ordinary couple.
Of course, Francois and Daniela are not princes and princesses, but they try to live quietly.
