In this group of movies, the most recommended is "Forty-five Years", I have recommended this movie to many friends who have entered the old age, this is a thought-provoking movie, a pair of "loving" couples who live together for forty-five years, they are not as good as a yellowed old letter, "do not let me meet temptation", and temptation is always around, whether you are young or dying, whether you are a dancing teenager or an old dragon bell, it is not only "body" that is tempted, but also "heart". The melancholy style of "Megre's Trap" and the twists and turns of the bizarre story are precisely the symbols of the darkness of the human heart. The King's Choice will make people reflect deeply on war. The reason I like "The Girl on the Train" is because of the techniques it uses, everyone has a curiosity to explore the secrets of others, and this movie makes people unconsciously enter the story. And "The Fall of London" is a typical Hollywood model of the film, which can make people unconsciously pass more than an hour of time.
Megre's Trap
It was a British remake of a French film, and the 1958 film Maigret tend un piège was the basis for the film. Remaking a movie, like making a cold dish into a hot dish, needs to add a lot of condiments, it must maintain the story framework of the original film, but also have to shoot new ideas, which is not a simple thing. The new film retains the motive for the crime and slightly changes the process of handling the case. As a British film set in Paris after World War II, in addition to the background and costumes are more French, the whole film is completely British temperament.
This is a film that uses childhood psychological shadows to explain the motives of crimes. The criminal has an indifferent butcher father, who has always regarded him as a strong mother of the baby, and as a man of great age, he especially wants to prove his ability to maintain the high-class standard of living of his mother and wife; My mother's rent had not been paid for 7 months, and the killing had begun at this time. This weak man under the strong wings of his mother and wife, without a strong physique and the ability to work independently to support the family, but to maintain a superficially luxurious life. Unable to prove his worth in the ordinary world, he eventually chose extreme means to make the whole of Paris tremble for the trembling, and in this trembling, he found happiness and his own value.
When the man appeared clearly in front of the camera for the first time, in the eyes of Maigret and the detectives, like an unworldly child, polite and dazed, neither daring to see the visiting detectives nor ask the reasons for the visitor's visit, this made Maigret firmly lock him as a suspect.
In the confrontation with Maigret, the criminal shows his other side - tenacious, calm, even an "old fox" like Maigret can not make him confess from the existing evidence, and the two sides compete for perseverance in silence... Until a new conflict arose: his mother and wife were both objects of his hatred—in his consciousness his failures were blamed on their intervention and on his beloved. He knew exactly why Maigret had brought them to him. So, when they appeared in front of him together, he told them that he hated them; When his wife said the color of the slain's skirt, through the rattling seine in his hand, he told her that he was the murderer, he hated her, he hated her... The couple looked at each other with tears in their eyes. His mother, without a word, faced the most unwanted scene, in her world, facing her son, she is a failed mother; In the face of her daughter-in-law, she is the lover of failure.
There is a scene in the film that seems to be a repetitive scene: when the case has not yet been settled and the murderer has not yet arrived, Maigret from home to office, and everything is quietly uneasy; At the end of the film, on the way home from the office, it is still the same old scene, and in the soothing music, Maigret enjoys the evening sun peacefully... Didn't the source of the power he did come from such a peace?
This film is remade from France, the background is still Paris, and the lead actor is replaced by Mr. Bean, which is a point of interest to the audience. Highlighting the themes of "love" and "hate". Its tragic significance is not in the murder itself, but in what it was killed. The new film dilutes the sense of humor of the French film, and does not have the unique contempt of the French for the powerful, but instead replaces it with the cold shots unique to the British, cold observation and thinking, and the attitude of still water and deep flow, and the whole film presents that all the truth and words are under the water.
"Forty-fifth Anniversary"
The 2015 Golden Bear award-winning film is worth watching repeatedly, especially for middle-aged or elderly people who are no longer young.
The story of "Forty-five" is very simple, Kate (Charlotte Lampling) in her 60s is about to celebrate the forty-fifth anniversary of her marriage with her 70-year-old husband Jeff (Tom Contner), and just as Kate is busy preparing, Jeff suddenly receives a letter that brings his thoughts back to the past, the body of his girlfriend who died in an accident in the Swiss Alps 50 years ago is found, and the letter says that the body of her husband's first love (who died in an accident) will be seen again half a century later with the melting of ice and snow. Still young, untouched as it was in its sixties. In two days of communication and sudden searching with Jeff, Kate found that the man who accompanied her for a lifetime was not her at all, and the emotions of the two people for forty-five years, forty-five years of bits and pieces, fell apart in one week, and all kinds of suspicion and suspicion instantly destroyed forty-five years of peace and love. Beneath the surface of seemingly calm life, the pillars supporting them quickly festered, and the originally harmonious coexistence gradually turned upside down.
Maybe the two of them are not the most loved, but they are still in the same boat for forty-five years, but when everything that happens in the last ten minutes comes - a song of "Happy Together" (a tribute to the King of Sunglasses" (a tribute to the King of Sunglasses in "Spring Break"), Jeff's "pretentious gesture" full of "the best decision of my life", a song of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", and the blue light on two aging bodies, all of which are completely shattered. Doubts will destroy all the good, and the original mountain oath sea alliance will become the bubble of time.
"Forty-fifth Anniversary" is suitable for private viewing, and when you lock the door on a small screen alone, the film itself wants to convey a certain atmosphere that will gradually become stronger.
The King's Choice
A war, three days, a difficult choice, King Haakon VII of Norway "for Norway", for freedom, democracy, independence chose resistance, he is one of the few Nordic heads of state who did not surrender to Hitler. The cruelty of war, the weakness of human nature, the preciousness of family affection, in the ice and snow of Norway, one by one, I said to the children watching the movie together, you know what I don't want you to do the last thing, he said incomprehensible, I said it is not a soldier! War is hell, and for whatever reason, all war is evil.
