Green, Annette

Some films are the practice of sociologists, some are the structural games of writers, and some are visually stimulating, passionate, and powerful. For such works, words are redundant. So I wrote a poem combining the meaning of green in different periods and the plot of the movie, with screenshots, hoping to express some of the things that the movie touched me.

Later, I didn't feel very clear, so I edited the video together ( click here to go to station B to watch ).

  1. They are green in Latin (viridis), green in French (vert), and green in Spanish and Italian (verde).
  2. The Latin words for spring (ver), man (vir), strength (vis), and strong (virere) are derived from the Latin green (viridis).
  3. In ancient Egyptian paintings, green often symbolizes fertility, reproduction, youth, growth, etc. It is related to harvest and is auspicious color.
  4. Henry McHenry, played by Adam Driver, wears a green jacket and robe in the film. In the Middle Ages, many bad guys wore green. For example, Judas often wore green, yellow, or yellow and green clothes. Green means instability, both love and youth, as well as falsehood and deception.
  5. Henry also wore a green velvet cap. Green has been associated with money since at least the 14th century, and cuckolding in German and French means bankruptcy, implying that Henry would eventually go bankrupt. Of course, the more familiar meme is that a husband cuckold means his wife is cheating.
  6. Green knights generally refer to young brave but reckless knights, and may first appear in literature in the second half of the 12th century. Green symbolizes love and hope. In love, green is youth and passion.
  7. Henri Rousseau painted many green virgin forests, such as The Dream (1910).
  8. Refers to Eve eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. At the beginning of the film, Ann Defrasnoux, played by Marion Cotillard, eats an apple once in the car. Later, there was an apple that was eaten by the swimming pool at home.
  9. An Suibo's slow swimming looks much like an Ophelia picture, foreshadowing taboo and death. Ophelia (1851–52) by John Everett Millais. The painting is based on the character Ophelia in William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Ophelia was rejected by Hamlet, and her father Polonius was stabbed to death. Under the double blow, Ophelia lost her mind and even fell into the water and drowned.
  10. In the film, Henry told a joke about tickling his wife to death on the talk show stage.
  11. A drunken Henry killed Ann.
  12. The color of the devil refers to green. Red and black used to be the colors of the devil. For example, the forbidden fruit eaten by Eve was red, and the image of a red apple appeared in the film. But from the Middle Ages to the beginning of modern times, the most commonly used color for demons became green. Also includes poisons, little devils, elves, etc., all green.
  13. There is a green pond in the back garden of Ann and Henry. Henry drowns the conductor, played by Simon Helberg, in a pond.
  14. Singing prodigy Annette decides not to sing ever since she finds out that her father Henry has murdered her.

In the film, even Annette's cheering color is green.

Director Leos Carax is also shrouded in green in the film.

    Karax's magnificent opening heralds the return of the camera, the return of the film. Annette is like a product of the spotlight and has to perform all the time, so she has always been in the shape of a puppet under this, and when she let go of people's "watching", she finally appeared back. The same is true of movies, which, after all the purification, are back to themselves: movies are made for the big screen. Starting from "May we start?", we are ready to meet the bomb that belongs to film.

    It is more like a murmur-style chanting, removing the shell of entertainment, and turning to aria; stripping away the turbulent emotions, turning to self-reporting, self-discrimination, self-deception, and self-examination—of course it is not pleasant, and the voice of the dark side is never intended to please the ears. For whom, it can stimulate instinctive body tremors. They parted ways from the beginning, Henry was racing on a dangerous motorcycle (actively killed), Ann fell asleep in a safe luxury car (passive survival), his eyes were the arrogant and depraved audience, and she only saw him. One is the figurative incarnation of the world, based on the principles of reality, but it is like a solid wall inside; the other is the other that exists as love, constantly slams into the wall and turns into ghosts, puppets, puppets, waiting for someone. A moment of collapse. I feel that Karax has seen through the essence of all the relationship between the two, a kind of turbulent indifference, like being shaken by music in a nightclub, discovering his face when the lights are on, hiding in the darkness the next, and then in the nightclub. Searching and searching for the rest of the long night.

Annette quotes

  • [first lines]

    The Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, we now ask for your complete attention. If you want to sing, laugh, clap, cry, yawn, boo or fart, please, do it in your head, only in your head. You are now kindly requested to keep silent and to hold your breath until the very end of the show. Breathing will not be tolerated during the show. So, please take a deep, last breath right now. Thank you.

  • The Accompanist: [while conducting an orchestra] It's a fast changing world. I am now the conductor of the city's finest orchestra. No longer the self-deprecating accompanist from such a short while ago. Ann would be proud of me. I do have my suspicions, though, about why she isn't alive. And doubts, too, about something else, but... Excuse me a minute.

    [goes back to conducting]

    The Accompanist: Henry has invited me to his place tomorrow, to discuss a matter that he says concerns Annette, and Ann. As awkward as it is for me to attend, anything that concerns Ann and the future of Annette is something that concerns me. Excuse me one more time.

    [goes back to conducting]

    The Accompanist: My love for Ann has never died. Neither has my regret that our affair was only an affair. I had. been hoping for so long. Then at a time when she was in despair, we started an affair. But the very next week, she met Henry. That was the end of it, the end of me. I'll always regret that. I deeply miss her - her warmth, her voice. I miss Ann. Excuse me.
