The Grace of the Hedgehog is a film with a quiet, oppressive melancholy and romance. At the beginning of everything, everything came to an abrupt end. What matters is not when you die, but what you do when you die. There are no earth-shattering emotional entanglements, no complicated twists and turns.
But delicately and truly embodies the "elegance of the hedgehog" of the little character, which is a very touching tragedy. Renee's death adds a strong tragic color, but it is not surprising, but it elevates its connotation. Finally leaving Paloma's ending in suspense, does she still believe in fate? The absurdity of real life is like a backwater, but it will also change the backwater.
Twelve-year-old genius philosophical girl, new neighbor Ozu Gelang, concierge Renee, three interesting souls meet, colliding with different sparks. On the surface, it is a hedgehog full of thorns, but inside it is actually a rich spiritual world and incomparably elegant. French cinema always produces a kind of wordless romance.
"Happy families are all similar, but unhappy families have their own misfortunes", the first sentence in Anna Karenina, like a secret code, connects Ozu Geran and Renee. The concierge is not the vulgar image that everyone thinks, she has a rich spiritual world, which is seen by Ozu Geran and Paloma.
The goldfish that rushed into the toilet after being fed sleeping pills by Paloma actually appeared in Renee's toilet, which may also indicate that Paloma, who was bent on suicide, no longer wanted to commit suicide after facing Renee's death, had a new understanding of death, understood the tragedy of death; "we can be friends or any other relationship", Renee began to feel love and being loved, but fate ended her life with an accident, fate is so impermanent.
Paloma meets Renee, rené meets Mr. Ozu, a smart and wealthy girl, an ordinary lonely concierge, a rich and gentle gentleman, seemingly completely unrelated people, gathered in a building, they understand each other and warm... Only Paloma and Ozu see the difference between Renee, Mr. Ozu's pursuit, Paloma's dependence, so that Renee gradually regained her confidence, and everything will be fine.
Renee moved into Mr. Ozu's large Japanese-style room, where they read books and videos together, ate and went on dates together, and Paloma gave up the idea of ending her life, and she often went to Mr. Ozu's house to photograph their happy lives. I wish the ending were similar happiness rather than unexpected misfortune. Renee is ready to love, and she's finally ready to "don't change, be yourself." Even if you hide your brilliance, there will be a person who can understand at a glance that you are different, and he can be in any relationship with you as long as you want. ”
Because in my opinion, there is only one simple theme here: love is turned over and over again, what is so strange? But the strange thing is that there is no sensationalism and tears are shed from beginning to end. The spiritual world brings love, and love brings hope. Death is predestined early, but Renee's death is not tragic, and what better ending could it be to die while loving and being loved?
What is abrupt and what is tragic is exactly the opposite of the theme of this film. What a beautiful fairy tale healing film, pure and plump, does not sweep away a fallen leaf in the world.
The person who is weirdly summarized is simply narrating the early wisdom in a high-level way, and the person who is labeled as withdrawn is only repelled by the fact that he has a corner where he can put himself. Indifferent hedgehog, choose the way you like to live gracefully, the Creator hides mysteries, the same kind may be in any foreshadowing, death sooner or later, except love and love is nothing worth being cared for.
My ideal life is to be alone with books, keep thinking, and have my own hidden space. Others don't understand it, I have my own inner world, I manage it well, even if I live my life well. More and more want to be separated from the surroundings, become an independent individual, have an independent personality, deal with one thing according to their own experience and thinking, and constantly learn and grow, so as to become the ideal self - calm and elegant, plain and quiet.
The elegance of the hedgehog, the hedgehog refers to the coldness and loneliness of Mrs. Michelle's appearance, which exudes the breath of being unapproachable at any time, while elegance refers to the elegance and tranquility of Mrs. Michelle's heart, drinking tea and reading, eating dark chocolate, as a person who has not been to school, she has more connotation than those so-called parliamentarian gentlemen.
As the saying goes, "The good-looking skin bag is the same, and the interesting soul is one of the best." The film is not so much about death as it is about the value and meaning of life, and sometimes it may be more about being a janitor than being a parliamentarian. There is also the love between her and Ozu, and true love is a soul-to-soul dialogue, transcending age and breaking free from class.
Everyone is a hedgehog in their daily life, but most of them are not very elegant, but they try to build their own secret small rooms, where they can enjoy loneliness and vent their grievances... Maybe no one will find out or open the door for the rest of their lives, maybe at some point someone with the same frequency will knock on the door and walk in!
Happy families are all the same, but unhappy families have their own misfortunes! Death can disrupt people's pace. How people define the value of life, I hope that the value of your life is comparable to your expectations; what matters is not death, but what people are doing in the moment of death!
"What matters is not when we die, but what we are doing at the moment of death. And she was dying ready to love. For me, the perspective of the heroine using a video camera instead of a diary to record what she wants to express is relatively new. This is indeed a movie worth repeating and watching, and it is wrapped in a series of topics worth thinking about, such as death, loneliness, inferiority, and resonance. The ending is unexpected, but I believe it is a scene of special significance, and it is also in response to the beginning.
Thank you for watching, paying attention to me, and taking you to learn more entertainment stories!
