people's life. Different countries and different directors have different styles.
, and a little abnormal. A mother chose to end her child's life because she couldn't bear the endless torture of her child's illness
. I also saw it in Xu Anhua's "Aunt's Postmodern Life", but as a The use of props is different.
In the film "I Always Love You", this is a cause and the main premise of the film. It tells the story of the mother who was imprisoned for 15 years, her life after she was released, and the events related to her. The family's life, etc.
In "Aunt's Postmodern Life", this is a very small part, and it is the ending of a country woman who goes to the city to work. The
two films can be used to start a large-scale comparative study, but at this moment , it's better to accept it as soon as
I see it. Before I say this film, I still have to complain first. It is rare for a French film to have a narrative technique that makes me feel comfortable.
The director of "I Always Love You" is Philippe Claudel (Philippe Claudel). *Claudella), he is a very talented writer, this film is his screen debut
, and many of his novels are wedding dresses for others
. Writing in Rablan, the northernmost part of Northern Europe, it is no wonder that the film has always maintained such a "cold" tone, the film language is extremely simplified, and it has a bit of Nordic minimalism style,
whether it is the short use of shots, the language of characters The restrained, repressed expression and the simple picture can be regarded as unifying the
film's heroine Kristin Scott Thomas (Thomas) is British, but grew up and developed in France. She is a charming actress that I love very much. She is also known for "Four Weddings and a Burial"
"Rituals", "The English Patient", etc., such a bright, sexy and charming woman is so shriveled and old in this film. Of course, uglifying herself is the only way for many actresses to move towards a powerful actress in literary and artistic films. But Thomas
is indeed not young anymore.
She has always been very depressed in the film. 15 years of prison life, or more precisely, 15 years of prison life in a state of grief and death, made her just released from prison. , like a pool of stagnant water, however, of course, she is not really dead
, when others touch the biggest pain in her heart, she will be in a rage, or, unable to hold back her tears,
maybe the director and screenwriter really hope to use the rebirth of the heroine With the suicide of a middle-aged police officer to express the power of family affection, the sister of the heroine Juliette Fontaine almost has a perfect family, an old man who can be described as a treasure in the family, a
reasonable husband, two lively and lovely daughters (adopted), and a master's degree. , teaches at a university, a group of lovely friends, a normal and rare happy family life, although it faces a test because of Juliette's arrival,
however, love finally saved everyone
. The story reaches its climax.
I regard this story as a fable, like life, very much like life, but more fairy tale than life.
Thomas' performance is truly remarkable.
