mild happiness

When I watched this film, I felt a sense of happiness in France: I didn't live in a cultural desert. The sophistication of this film is the twists and turns of the plot without being conventional, the design of every shot, the precise eyes of every actor, and the precise gestures of every actor, but all of this is based on the director's accurate grasp of human subtle emotions. Like a flawless piece of jewelry, people can't put it down and look at it again and again. Putting it together with Woody Allen's "Magic Moonlight" that came out last week, "Magic Moonlight" seems thin and hasty.

Ozon's usual style is to inject slightly spicy elements into the soft Cashmere environment. All kinds of things that seem unacceptable to good customs have become natural and human.
At the beginning of the plot of the two girls, I once thought it was the French version of Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing. Yet human emotions never have that many cliches. Claire is jealous of Laura, love is possessive, Claire is an extension of Laura's love to David, is the desire for women, or is seduced by irresistible eyes and desires. Everyone fights and suppresses their own desires a little, and bounces after the suppression. Not the French trop compliqués, but they are good at understanding the complexité.

I sometimes hate the French, their delicate and subtle, make you feel tired of life. Sometimes I have to marvel at the wonder and wonder that this personality brings. For those who need life not just one vegetable and one meal, and for those who pursue the dream of a hero in a peaceful life, if you have more contacts and tastes, and you have more understanding, love and life will naturally be different.

    Every time, Ou Rong would enter the room and show everyone the skeletons hidden in his cabinet, and said, "Look, it's nothing. Everyone has secrets. What is yours?"

    Like, like, like, like, the humor that pops up from time to time makes me laugh, and the triple relationship created by gender identity makes the audience and the heroine dazzled together. But the political appeal at the end was a bit too deliberate.
