The most amazing thing about this film is the first half, or the first third. With the passage of the plot, the appearance of Anna, the emotional changes that Anna has for her husband, her daughter, and even the whole family, this is undoubtedly the focus and even the climax of the director's desire to elaborate, but I think this makes the audience start to divert attention. In terms of the particularity of this family, it is like watching a sick thing that has nothing to do with oneself. The motivation for watching is not so much curiosity rather than a certain commonality between the audience and the family, which reduces the artistry of the movie. When the audience is blindly caught in the suspense of searching for "what will happen in the future", this is not necessarily a good thing.
The stunningness I want to say has nothing to do with the main line of this film. But in the first few clips at the beginning, especially in the first to second clips, the accurate reflection of old age and time. Later, I learned that the director was 84 years old when he was shooting this film. In the process, I think if the director is under 60 years old, then he is undoubtedly the most talented screenwriter and director.
The film starts by showing Maria's erotic desires, which is very good in itself. An elderly woman in her 60s has a passion like a 20-year-old girl. It's so clean again. She changed the formation of my old age into the twilight, everything is attributed to the calm engraving influence. When I saw this episode, I even had the urge to shoot the love story of the elderly. This greatly reflects a certain beautiful traits of human beings. Of course, it also shows that some women are unwilling to fight against time as the body ages.
Although the love of the elderly is highly similar to that of the young, it is also very different at the same time. Another amazing thing about the film at this time. Most of life is over. I have children and grandchildren, and their love or lust is based on a certain natural structure. This is mainly manifested through the dialogue between Mary and John on the balcony. They look back on life and stand on a perspective that transcends life. Once may be tangled, the painful past becomes a moment of Yan Ran's smile. So as to reach a simple and fast consensus. When a man can no longer possess the handsomeness, strength and enthusiasm of the year, and only a skin that he is embarrassed to show, love continues, just as time continues.
If I have a chance to watch this movie again, I will elaborate on the other highlights in more detail.
