It's a pity that good luck makes people, and illogical love is often ill-fated.
Years ago, 37 Degrees 2 was synonymous with "French illogical desperation," and it belonged to smash hit actress Beatrice, all derived from a controversial old film of the same name. Years later, not the same character who painted the door of the publishing house red, fought with customers at the pizzeria, had her eyes gouged out of madness, had someone who loved her kill her... also No longer are the same actors who volunteered to visit prisoners, fell in love with prisoners at first sight, and held blockbuster weddings in Brest Prison.
The leaves by the Seine fell several times, and Beatrice's face was covered with a layer of water mist. People were shocked when her name reappeared in the entertainment headlines - Beatrice's husband was arrested in Vannes for raping, beating and illegally detaining a 29-year-old woman in Moron in October 2001. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the Serbion Court in the province of Albion. Acting prosecutors believed the 31-year-old defendant was "still dangerous" and asked for a 14-year sentence.
Beatrice listened to court arguments during the three-day trial, and she decided to testify on the first day of the trial. The fine snow in the Paris winter has piled up the media and the courtroom has been congested. Beatrice's face in the public eye was flat: "I know what my husband did." When the jury questioned her personal safety in married life, she declared: "If I worry about my personal safety, I I won't marry him."
People say, "They're not over." As long as the Seine is flowing, they won't be over. What if the Seine dries up? I bet it won't dry out completely. Let's see in a few hundred years, or longer. Time was running out, and the Beatrice couple had not reached the end of their desires. They also store a lot of joy, fear, wisdom, stubbornness, and a lot of unexpected things. These unimaginable things wait to be prosaic, and people expect drama, like the tramp meets the angel A.
One evening in January 2006, I decided to watch Angle-A. In addition to some yearning for illogical love, there is also disappointment. Luc Besson once announced that he would only make 10 films in his life. Without several ups and downs of expectation and disappointment, 9 films have become memories. "Subway" (subway) and "Grand bleu" (blue sea and blue sky) made the judges of the César Awards exclaim that genius appeared; "Leon profess" (killer Leon) made the French film critics think that he had lost his early humanistic spirit; "Fifth Element" (The Fifth Element), the subsequent "Joan of Arc" was accused of wasting magnificent historical themes and Malkovich... There is the last piece of film left, as the most internationally influential commercial director in France And producer, Luc Besson released his tenth film after a lapse of six years: the black and white feature film "Angle-A". This is not the first time he has used black and white film, 22 years ago, Le dernier cambat (The Last Battle) was an independent exploration of that year.
The New Year's box-office battle left the theater with just a couple of couples, a little boy, and me. From the moment the angel's wings began to tremble, the surroundings were filled with peace. Luc Besson's camera was reluctant to stay in the corner, watching everyone do this and that. It likes to find the most Parisian angle, where both the story and the characters become the backdrop. The whole story is as simple as an old chanson, bright but not glamorous, sad but not sad. The handling of the scene is simple and sharp. What Luc Besson focuses on expressing is not the angel A who jumped into the river, but the splash of water she splashes, the startled gulls and the changes in the flow of water in the hero's heart...
Here, of course, I'll talk about the tramp. He deserves a mention, he and Paris, and we are commensurate. By the way, it's all because: a down-and-out homeless man suddenly understands one afternoon: Just turn around and the world doesn't exist. The strong sunshine of Paris has not cured the darkness of life. The tramp roamed like Chaplin and was slaughtered. He himself believes that the only salvation is: when the time comes when the weariness is exhausted, the natural rebirth, such as the seasons, the cycle of all things. But there is one exception. The humble fate of humans on Earth brings to mind the possibility of life beyond Earth. So, she appeared. On the Alexander III bridge, as everyone dreams. There is no doubt that the tramp will fall in love with the angel.
Updike once said about the essence of male love: "A man is nothing more than wanting to return to his mother's arms and relive the wonderful taste of the body that makes people cry." The homeless must be quite emotional about this sentence, It is like having a deep understanding of the joys and sorrows of life. His illogical love is like a rescue. It gave him a castle. Bach extols it in his chorus, Corneille and Racine in their spiritual thanksgivings, in their sacred works commenting on hymns, Homer sings it in both the Iliad and the Odyssey. Who is all the change for? A's figure is more and more vaguely hidden in the summer mist of the Seine. In 2005, you said "I love you" to her. In fact, she is your guardian angel.
The movie was about to end in silence, with only the curly-haired boy and me around. Soon, the next round of screenings will begin again. It can be seen that "Angle-A" mixed in the production of macro chapters is not a coincidence. Fans think Luc is best suited for violent human films. The overly simple "Angle-A" is boring. Although everyone has a good impression of the beautiful shots of the film, some people find it unappealing to watch a series of moving black and white postcards. In addition, the media discussed Luc's casting turmoil. First, he chose a new heroine. Most notably, the French riots had just ended, and Luc had a Moroccan actor in the leading role. Jamel has also not played the leading role in six years, although the boy in "Amelie" and the Egyptian architect in "Mission cleopetra" are impressive, but as the male lead , and just the '99 comedy "The sky, the bird and your mother" (Le ciel, Les oiseaux, et ta mere). Fortunately, more non-racists think that "France thrives on immigrants" Some of them become artists, thus enriching French culture... Obviously, Luc Besson's closing work is likely to make the hero Jamel become The most successful Arab immigrant since Zidane.
When the show was over, the little boy turned around and asked: Is this true? I said yes, Chinese fairies love tramps too. On the way home, pass the Alexander III Bridge. A few dazed homeless people hid in the shadows of the old buildings. The white-bearded drunk man suddenly ran up the icy sidewalk. He grabbed an old woman in ragged clothes, and the two of them scolded and danced. So weird, so ugly, so miserable, so happy.
