I always take the trouble to marvel time and time again at how delicate, real, and surging French films are. The fine ripples, like the water of the Seine, are not too clear and not too intense, but they pretend the taste of life flows into our body every day. .
This movie has been on file for two full months...it's rare to see it. I haven't looked at it, because I really mind that name, it's in the second person, and there is a breath of death—the first day of the rest of your life.
It just so happened that not many films were shown at the time when I walked to the cinema. After thinking about it, I bought a ticket for Hall 5. In fact, I didn’t want to watch an action movie at the time, or I had a lot of running and running for a few days in a row. Uncertainty about the future makes me feel no mood to watch American movies at all for the time being. Before the beginning of the movie, I was sitting alone in the cinema. I thought of someone getting down the elevator with me just now. I just checked the manual and found out that the next room No. 6 was on the film, and it opened earlier than No. 6 5 minutes, then he paced past-this is the fate in the legend.
The title is as lacking of novelty as the poster-my desire to watch this film is also somewhat related to the design of the poster-the cut scenes of the home video tape have been used to bad. But when the film officially started, I found that the videotape became interesting-because the videotape recorded the growth of three children, and the most important protagonist was a dog.
le-premier-jour-du-reste-de-ta-vie_206 And the first day of the film began when the eldest brother took this 18-year-old dog to the humane destruction. The whole family gathered around the dog's grave, and the younger sister Fleur said, "Without you, this home will never be the same again."
This is also the first day of the rest of his eldest brother Albert's life-he moved out of the house to live alone, and met the beauty who lives next door-his future wife. That night, after meeting his grandfather, Al and his younger brother Raphaël watched the same old dubbed American Western film at two homes, reciting the characters’ lines proficiently, and recalling that they played in the room pretending to be the characters in the movie when they were young. Scene. In this scene, I had a hunch-I would like this film.
as predicted.
The second one who started the first day of the rest of his life was the little sister Fleur. At this time, she had gone from a little girl who was sitting by her brothers’ bed watching them play a western movie and throwing a toy mouse on a dead dog’s grave into a little girl with thick smoky makeup and very in-dress (?) Maiden now. On her sixteenth birthday, she slept with her boyfriend. This set of shots was very French-style and romantic. At the moment when the door was closed, Fleur saw yesterday's pure loli standing timidly at the door, so she almost sighed cruelly. The door was closed, and blood poured out from under the crack of the door. At first, the little loli retreated in fear, but finally raised the corner of his eyes and turned away coldly.
But afterwards Fleur left the scarf at her boyfriend's house. It was knitted by her mother, so she called to ask for it, but her boyfriend ridiculed it. The aggrieved Fleur finally broke out when he heard the argument between his father and grandfather during dinner. He cried and went back to the room. Albert, who found that his sister was wrong, asked the reason, and took Fleur to the boy's house to teach him a lesson.
After she came back, she wrote "This is the first day of the rest of my life" in her diary. As the last young daughter to leave home, she assumed the role of a witness.
18950845 And R, who is almost the same age as Al, left home with Fleur almost at the same time, just because he procrastinated until tomorrow in everything he did, so he was always a bit slower than the timing. So R also used flashbacks on the first day of the rest of his life. After hearing the story between him and his grandmother from his grandfather, R only thought of a girl he had known in a freehand guitar performance competition five or six years ago.
PS: The so-called "bare-handed guitar" means that you obviously don’t have a guitar in your hand, but it looks like it’s pretended to be. It’s silly to play with the background music on the stage and to make an expression of devotion, but in the last century It seems that this has been very popular in foreign countries, and it is also mentioned in an American drama.
This is R's love at first sight. The girl left him a phone number before leaving. When R was excited, a gust of wind stole the note from R's hand and threw it into the wind. R and Dad couldn't find it after getting out of the car. So after many years, R remembered this number in his dream, and the other side of the microphone was no longer that person.
As for the first day of the rest of their lives for mom and dad, I am afraid it started very early, but for this family, their lives always seem to be connected with the growth of their children. After Al moved out, his mother re-entered the university. Unknowingly, the distance between her and her little daughter was getting farther and farther, until one day Fleur did not return at midnight, and her mother found a locked diary under her bed. Worried about her daughter's whereabouts, she opened this red diary, but found that her daughter has experienced life from the colorful decorations to the dark and twisted illustrations. From broken love to abortion, I never talked to my family.
This section is very well cut, especially when the mother imagines that her daughter sits on the ground with her knees on the floor facing her.
18950864 The reading of the diary triggered a quarrel between the mother and daughter. When Fleur rode away on a motorcycle, his mother, who had not yet obtained his driver's license, drove his father's taxi to chase but was hit by a car that rushed out of the waist. At this time, although Al and his father had not yet reunited, the whole family was gathered next to his mother's bed.
And on the day when my father was diagnosed with a terminal illness, the family members who didn't know it finally sat together. Al got married, R got a job as a bartender, and Fleur also lived with her boyfriend. Dad always said that he would retire for a while, but he kept driving until the end of his life...
I admire the French speaking. The way of the story is neither exciting nor flamboyant. They paint the details very carefully and adjust the colors very delicately. All conflicts do not need to be expressed by shouting, and there is no need to cry when reconciling. Just a few words on the dining table, a look in the eyes, laid out a contradiction, moisturizing things silently.
For example, between dad and grandpa, it's just grandpa borrowing money from dad to buy a house, and whether grandpa teaches dad wine tasting well, only two conversations are enough. On the day of Al’s wedding, grandpa passed away. R and his father advocated canceling the next banquet, but Al and his mother disagreed. This not only resolved the conflicts of the previous generation, but also pushed the conflict between Al and his father to a climax. The reconciliation between Al and Dad was a coincidence on the road, and the two of them smiled and ran out of grudges.
Everything is shown from the daily and ordinary little things, but the editing method and the layout of the picture are not dull. The most important day of the five people’s lives is interspersed and shown, neither in the order of age, nor in the order of age. Not completely in accordance with the order of time, the structure seems lively and casual, but the mental process of each person and the contradictory relationship between each other are very clear, and
the performance of the actors is nothing to say. I have always been very pf French actors. When it should be exaggerated, when it should be homely, there is no trace at all. There will be no dull-eyed expressions, and I will not recite the lines like a memorial, especially the body. The language is very natural. Even the young actors are very comfortable-not just referring to this movie, from "The Spring of the Herding Class" to Entre les murs, whether it is angel faces or the young actors who are very crowded, they have a good camera sense. At the same time, I will not be artificial or suspected of pretending to be mature. The average level is that I have been very surprised (Is the performance level of French children? I recommend watching Jacquou le croquant. The Chinese name is "Jacques' Uprising". The film is not very good. In this way, the child who played the male protagonist was very amazing).
Deborah, who plays Fleur, in La Tourneuse de pages ("The Girl Who Turns the Sheets"), I still criticized his acting (Les femmes de l'ombre is a movie I think I can watch), and then compare this movie If it is, it is a great improvement, at least I have nothing to complain about.
As for the image of Aunt Zabou in Les Insoumis before, although the look is similar, I can recognize it at a glance, but the tone is adjusted by 18 miles, and there is no trace of reluctance.
I envy that such a life-like script is presented on the screen in such a natural way by actors with such a life-like atmosphere. This is also unique to French movies. In fact, their movie stars don’t have too many handsome men and beauties. There are several movies that come and go like these old guys, but when everyone mentions France, they must still feel that romance is coming to them-I’m really surprised how this is. Made it.
But at any rate, there is a handsome boy in this movie, Marc. I especially love his hair~~~ I look forward to seeing you again in other movies. As for director Remi, keep this tune, this sensitive capture of life, and flexible use of film language, I am optimistic about you (thumb)
I give this movie five stars, absolutely. Because although this is not my family or my life, when I watched it, I suddenly wanted to have brothers and sisters, and even wanted to be a good mother (I am absolutely crazy), even though that kind of life is not Easy-noisy, rebellious and incompetent, the children will still leave one by one, but the ordinary effort and ordinary powerlessness makes people feel happy... even the mother throws father's ashes into the sea I don’t feel the pain of parting when I can’t see the loneliness of the future. I feel that this kind of life can be longed for. Just like this, the family sits in the yard, opens a bottle of red wine, and talks boring things~~~ Very good
