Friends in junior high school have already mentioned this film. At that time, when I was young, I didn't seem to have any insight into emotions, and I preferred sci-fi suspense and other curious and catchy stories. It just so happened that I recently saw Rohmer's color matching on various push platforms, and I became interested in watching this 1987 movie. (The reason why I started to read it, I actually felt a little bit of time passing when I was writing.)
The whole film has no sense of age at all, probably because the theme of the story has no macro background, it is just a simple story between four people in a French town, and a simple story that will happen in any time and space. To sum it up in one sentence, two men and two women swap likes (like many "smart" plots designed by soap opera writers)
The beauty of the story is that it takes place in France, a country where vacations, strikes, and leisurely comfort are at every turn. There is no ingenious plot set by force, the development of the plot depends on the talking of the protagonists, and all the development and changes are so natural.
A: Female college student B: Civil servant of the Cultural Affairs Bureau
C: D's friend (handsome guy) D: A's boyfriend
In an office area, a female college student A became attached to a civil servant B of the Cultural Affairs Bureau because of eating at a table. The two became friends and often hang out together.
"Ka": People get to know each other and interact with each other. It is so simple and simple without any utilitarian sociality. Just by getting to know, sharing life, talking, and getting along tacitly, you can get rid of the difference in status and become friends.
When B taught A to swim, he met his handsome friend C. I have a good impression in my heart, but I think that C has a good impression on me, but it is not pleasant to get along with C in reality.
"Ka": It's always a matter of perspective. I'm afraid it's not all about misunderstandings when people get along with each other. Sometimes there is only a fine line between beautiful misunderstandings and regrettable misunderstandings. The reason why B looks at C is also very realistic. The other party is handsome, has a good job, and "is the type that any woman will like". It is quite pathetic to imagine falling in love with a man with a universal framework.
B met A's boyfriend D through A. First, through A's tone, he learned that the relationship between A and D is not good, there are many contradictions, and A also has a tendency to cheat. B and D get along very well together when A goes on vacation. Even though B still likes C in his heart, he likes D again in life and has a relationship, and they agree that nothing will happen to each other.
"Ka": The awkwardness of people in love begins to be revealed. This movie, everyone else is very direct, if they like it, they like it, but if they don't like it, they give each other a chance because of reason. Only B didn't recognize his feelings in time, fell in love with C's fantasy spiritually, and was actually entangled with A's friendship, and couldn't let go and communicate with D.
Before the second vacation, A and D broke up. B realized that it was inappropriate to be with C, and chose to be with D. A and C also sparked. Finally, at the end of the vacation, four people wearing wonderful color matching stood together, A and B said their hearts, and a happy ending.
"Ka": This scene is really interesting. The pairing is exchanged, and there is no reason to give up the attachment and pursuit of feelings because of messy obstacles or embarrassment. And at the moment of unlocking all the emotions, there is no tearing, no judgment, and mutual acceptance. Perhaps this is also the reason why A and B can be friends.
Sometimes the relationship is simple, if you like each other, you can become friends or lovers. Getting along with people should be relaxed and pleasant, and let the emotions flow and interact in the emotions of the two.
France is a country with its own lazy attributes, and the whole story is driven by vacations. I once lived in a French homestay for a short period of time and discussed the topic of vacation, and my honest answer may bring them a lot of culture shock? After all, their rhythm is about three months and they are going to take a vacation. Usually, if they have any dissatisfaction, they will come to a collective strike. Fast and slow, which is better or worse is inconclusive. Find your own suitable rhythm and a comfortable mode of getting along with others. Maybe this is the main idea, right?
