like watching old movies. Personally, the quality of black and white films is unmatched by color images.
Undoubtedly, black and white images are more suitable for storytelling, allowing the audience to focus on the progress of the story rather than the gorgeous costumes and sets, and cleverly avoid many ulterior motives of interpretation and perfunctory plot arrangements. But the audience can never deny that black and white images are equally beautiful. Pure beauty does not occupy the halo of color, it is just beauty, just like beauty itself.
I was attracted to a poster because of the three people on the poster, two men and one woman. Their expressions were all very happy, and I was attracted by their reckless smiles, and at the same time, I was curious about the relationship between the three of them. Before opening the disc, I had a hunch that the relationship between the three might be as I imagined.
The second
film is "Ancestor and Zhan".
Filmed in France in 1962, it was directed and co-written by the famous French director François Truffaut. François Truffaut published "On a Certain Tendency in French Cinema" in 1954, which was regarded as the program and manifesto of the New Wave movement; in 1957, he wrote "French Cinema Dies in Falsehood", Heralded the arrival of a "first-person" film.
Many years ago, I watched his film "The Four Hundred Blows". This semi-autobiographical work reflects the director's rebellious and rebellious childhood, and this childhood rebellious thinking provided a customary way of thinking for his later film creation. His directorial philosophy was that movies should imitate life, but be more romantic than real life.

The film "Ancestor and Zhan" is an imitation of the relationship between the sexes in real life. It actually provides a possibility, a possible direction and result of the development of the relationship between the sexes.
The protagonist of the film is a pair of friends, Zu, German, accounting, French. A woman named Katherine appears in their life force, turning the relationship of two into a relationship of three. The appearance of a woman will definitely break this harmony, and it may become a practice to be jealous for a woman.
What kind of relationship settings can three people have?
The first: Zu and Katherine, accounting for single.
Does it have anything to do with character? Is Zu's innocence and simplicity, and the romantic romance, the reason for Catherine's choice?
Catherine has a nostalgic elegance and an uninhibited personality. She is the queen of every man, but she is still married to a simple ancestor: I know too many men, but you don't know a few women. Maybe it can be offset, and we may be friendly get along.
Zhan didn't want to have Catherine, she was defeated by Catherine's courage to jump into the water. He admired Catherine, but Catherine had become Zu's wife.
The second: accounting with Katherine, Zu single.
The fact that Zu is single can no longer exist because they are already married. But if Zu acquiesced to another relationship,
Zhan could also possess Katherine. In fact, Catherine is such a woman. Zu's mercy forgives her infidelity, and Zhan's feelings take advantage of it. In a house, there are three endings.
The third type: Accounting single, Zu single, Katherine single.
Any relationship that lasts for a long time will break. Complete love exists only for a moment. Eternal love is only for the individual. In essence, everyone wants to possess himself. Never escape the cruelty of this feeling. Maybe you love him, but you are still you. Catherine is undoubtedly very clever, she is entangled between two men, but let others bend to her will. Because she is too clear, too clear, she understands that jumping out of any kind of relationship is like jumping into a river, simply and freely. She just made Zu her servant and Zhan the victim of love.
The fourth: Zu and Zhan, Catherine is single.
This situation does not exist in the film, Zu and Zhan are too pure, they purely only like women. Maybe Catherine is too charismatic. If it is placed in today's society, it is absolutely impossible to attract audiences without making up such stories.
The four
films also use Zu and Zhan to show the difference between Germans and French. Zu represents the strictness and simplicity of the Germans, and Zhan represents the romance of the French. Even arrogant like Katherine, she still chose to marry a strict and simple German ancestor. Everyone knows that romance is unreliable. To dream about romance after marriage, you must have such a tolerant German ancestor.
France has all kinds of Bordeaux, but Germany only has the monotonous Tsingtao beer. Tsingtao beer is as good as Tsingtao beer, and you can drink it without adding anything. Both Germans and French love to drink, but Germans are only famous for beer, and France is different. All kinds of wines are French in appearance and taste.
Which kind of wine you choose, which kind of life you choose.
Then again, whoever you choose can really represent your life. I chose Tsingtao beer, can't I drink brandy again?
If I'm not afraid of hurting my body, I drink Tsingtao beer and brandy at the same time.
Because the director said: life is asexual.
