Now, it seems that the plot is a little too plain. The seventeen-year-old girl fell in love, so pure and beautiful, she said sweet love words, and vowed to marry her lover. But again it was the war that broke everything. The boy has to leave. The tune they sang when they parted was heartbreaking.
The girl insisted on waiting, but in the face of the reality and the seemingly unreachable thoughts, she finally gave in and married a wealthy jeweler. The boy returned, heartbroken, went to the tavern, and saw that the wooden chair that once sat on the date with the girl was now empty. He almost lost the will to live.
It was snowing heavily, and when they met again, they were already married. Are you happy now? Yes, I am very happy with a wife and children.
The whole film is set in bright colors, but it tells the story of a failed first love. Perhaps, it is those bright colors that bring out the sadness of the characters' loss. At the beginning, under the overhead shot, raindrops fell, and people hurried past with umbrellas of various colors, accompanied by the sad song, and the black umbrella at the end, which seemed to herald the end of separation.
No matter how beautiful the umbrella is, it can't resist the invasion of the rainstorm after all. Under the umbrella of Cherbourg, it may be covered with sadness and loss that everyone can't avoid!
All the lines sung are also a major feature of the film.
