The story takes place in France in 1971. Daphne is the daughter of a farmer. Because she is unwilling to accept the future arranged by her parents, the stubborn Daphne chooses to run away from home and come to the bustling metropolis of Paris alone. To develop your own world here.

In Paris, Daphne meets Carol, a fighter dedicated to the feminist movement, and over time, the two break down gender boundaries and come together.

When the news of her father's stroke came, Daphne had to say goodbye to Carol and return to her hometown. Carol, who couldn't bear the pain of missing, came all the way to the farm, and wanted to start their sunrise work with Daphne here. Idyllic life at sunset.

The special relationship between the two was quickly criticized by those around them, which also put Daphne in a dilemma. Eventually parted ways.

This film is similar to "The Life of Adele", whether it is a large-scale scene or a feminist movement, but this film is interspersed with many elements, and Adele's life is more delicate in terms of emotional and character changes.

I like Carol's character, carefree, daring to face herself, loyal to her heart, before she met Daphne, she had a boyfriend who loved her, after meeting Daphne, she bravely opened her heart to her boyfriend, love It's love, she doesn't want to deceive others, and she doesn't want to deceive herself.

After Daphne returned home because of her father's stroke, Carol traveled thousands of miles to find her. They could imagine everything to their heart's content on the idyllic lawn, but Daphne couldn't get rid of the responsibility of being the master of the house. Looking at her parents' disappointed eyes, she chose to avoid this love. After all, she lives in the countryside, and her actions that are too bold will have irreversible consequences.

They were going to go together. When the train came, Daphne chose to back off. Carol carried her luggage and stepped on the train. It was the last time they met. Daphne bent Carol. , Carol taught Daphne to grow and be brave. In a later letter, Daphne said that if I was brave enough that day, we would not be like this, but at least we are all free. Before, we can't go back .

The protagonist here is not the most beautiful, but very simple, close to the breath of life, very original, not artificial, in this emotion, you can feel another sense of rebirth, whether it is family environment, social environment, Differences between urban and rural areas, or personal character, are all awakened in growth and want to get a sense of identity.

Every love will teach us how to love, how to get along, and growing love. There is nothing to regret. After all, in the company of each other, we have seen the worst side and the best side of each other. more brave.

In the final analysis, this film is quite realistic and cruel. Two people of the same sex fall in love, the roars of their parents, and the strange eyes of the people around them are all tests. The two who are not firm enough will eventually part ways. Because of love, everything is broken. , but still lost to reality.

    The scale is not as good as "Adele's Life", but it is not small. Although one of the two is from Paris and the other is from the country, the class difference is not as obvious as Adele's, and it is more like a love movie based on feminism, otherwise Carol would not have gone to the country to feed oxenia and take care of Dai. Fanny's family. In the short comment, it is said that France in the 1970s is beyond the reach of today’s China. Are you talking nonsense? France is the origin of modern social thought and civilization, and all the rules and systems of modern society are born from other people. As an old capitalist country , go look at France in the New Wave movies of the 1960s, it is already quite developed. What's more, we only reformed and opened up in the late 1980s, and we are still a country with a Confucian culture. You can't compare like this, but you can compare it with Japan and South Korea next door. The film's chronological background is the same as "After May", and various trends of thought and movements are surging. [TEPES/7.73GB] (Although Daphne did not set foot on the train to Paris, Paris will accompany her all her life, maybe lying on the grass after a busy day on the farm, and accidentally thinking of that person in the afterglow of the sunset)

    Carol ran downstairs with a vinyl record player and records, dragged Daphne's mother to dance with, if only time had stopped. No prejudice, no responsibility, no harm, nothing to be done, just a free soul and love.
