Sophie Marceau is fourteen-"La Boum"

French movies always give people a feeling of calm narration. "La Boum" (First Kiss) still follows a quiet opening. The camera looks over Paris quietly, and the sight stays on the compact building and the romantic roof through the light fog. With balconies, meticulously climbing to the streets on all sides and in the distance, as well as the iconic Eiffel Tower defending Paris’ romance and artistic temperament. This most candid visual description of the film environment is often suitable for European films. "Al di là delle nuvole" (Days on the Clouds) may be able to better reflect this. It does not require excessive musical rendering and description, just telling You are in Paris, France or Salzburg, Austria (where "The Sound of Music" was filmed). The tone and melody that the film needs to convey will emerge in people's hearts like living plants. This kind of grasp of emotions It is also one of the reasons why people tend to watch French movies instead of watching them. Because that is Paris, we have an intuition for the city, which is a tacit understanding and cognition for the storyteller, listener and participant. So it is deep or light, beautiful or rough, peaceful or uneasy. It all seems to be going on in the flowing and spreading of the Loire water. In every frozen frame, the tone, line, and composition enter people’s sight unobtrusively, staying for a few seconds allows each other to grasp each other, not suppressing emotions but being happy with this feeling, which is beyond the language of the lens. Category, comfort is inherent.

The above is just to talk about the visual beauty and comfort shared by French films. "La Boum" is not a quiet art film from beginning to end, focusing on profound discussions of value and essence, ignorant love, sincere and lasting love, The unruly spontaneity of youth is the theme of the movie. This film was released in 1980, when Sophie Marceau was only fourteen years old at this time. "La Boum" was her first work. However, from this film, Sophie Marceau’s dazzling expressiveness and her natural temperament It can already be seen that she must be an eternal part of French cinema. At the age of fourteen, she has already revealed the charm of a growing young woman and a little sexiness that is far from innocence but close to purity. You will fall in love with her brown eyes and the penetrating power of her eyes, and the natural light lines of her nose. The degree to which she opens her lips slightly, falls in love with her youth-polished figure, the soul injected by the city and blood, the words gifted, you will ignore the gap between physics and reality and smell her emotions. This is exactly what you want to have. The state of it? Fourteen years old, the age of a Lolita, you can't help thinking that little girls at this age are both good and evil, so they are touching. Claude Pinotto made this movie easily because of the "girlish" Sophie Marceau. Because of her existence, it doesn't seem to be worthy of any special comments on the story. All your feelings are devoted to her. In a person, the acceptance and understanding of the story seems to have turned into watching, caring, extravagant hope and experience for her. Compared to the mature Sophie Marceau, she is perfect for me at this time, just like Natalie Portman in "Léon". I am used to distinguish them from when they were young. If one The growth of a girl is always locked in the range of thirteen or fourteen. This must be an aesthetic awareness that hell and heaven coexist. I am fortunate that Ellen Page in "Hard Candy" hasn't grown up yet, and the feeling in front of me is enough.

This is a movie that belongs to the early 1980s. The traces of the time in the film now seem to be a very interesting display. Weekend dance party, jazz, American quarter of an hour, now it seems strange but still interesting dance steps. , The decoration style of the house at that time, the lighting of the bar, the skating rink, the characters’ outfits, hairstyles and makeup, occasional movie scenes, Alain Delon that jumped out of the dialogue, "The Realm of the Senses" (1976), and even that time The shot schedule, the color style, and the slightly outdated nuances in the relationship between the characters all have an attraction, especially when it becomes a translated film. Although there is no sense of French rhythm, sometimes it is seen in another language that is different from the mouth shape. You can also feel the small taste brought about by this difference. I've seen this version not from the early dubbing, so this feeling comes from a lot, or it is completely gone, so I would rather ignore it.

The theme song of the film-"Reality" is also indispensable for the rendering of the atmosphere and tone. The beautiful melody sounds in every cleverness of Vicar (Sophie Marceau) girl's affection, and the notes are French romantic. To confide, Richard Sanderson’s voice is matched with a gentle feeling to conquer dreams and reality——Dreams are my reality.

Reality

-Richard Sanderson

Met you by surprise I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Saw you standing there
I didn 't know I cared
There was something special in the air
Dreams are my realize
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as it's meant to be
Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems a night
Althoughj it's only fantasy
If you do exist honey don't resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that to do show me what to do
I feel shomething special about you
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
May be must fool is ness has past
And may be now at last
I'll see how a real thing can be
Dreams are my reality
A wonderous world where I like to be
I dream of holing you all night and holing you seem try
Perhaps that's my reality

Met you by surprise I didn't realize
That'my life would change forever
Tell me that it's true feelings that are you

Try to live in dreams
Although it's only fantasy
Dreams are my reality

I dream of loving the night
And loving you seem try
Perhaps that's my reality
