The French film "Things to come" starred Isabelle Huppel and won many awards such as the Best Director Award at the Silver Bear Award at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, with a Douban score of 8.2. This is a movie that requires you to calm down and watch quietly, very distracted.
How do we go about the road ahead?
This movie is more suitable for people with certain life experience to watch, and its wonderful thing is that different people will have different interpretations after watching it.
Shooting from the perspective of a female director, it is very delicate, very lifelike, almost no dramatic plot, plain as if it happened to the people around you. If you don't sink your heart to watch this movie, it's like boiling water is tasteless, but in fact, it is a bottle of red wine that has been aged for many years, and you need to taste it carefully to taste its sweetness.
Natalie is in her 40s and is a spiritually wealthy woman who is rational, insists on reading, and sticks to her beliefs. She is a high school philosophy teacher with a seemingly happy family, children and children, and her husband is a college teacher. There is also a mother with anxiety disorders who is ready to deal with her suicide attempt.
Life was orderly, trivial and sometimes upsetting, but Natalie never wanted to change. However, one day I was told by my husband who had lived together for 25 years that he had an affair and wanted a divorce. At the same time, my mother died. Due to sales problems, the publisher no longer publishes the textbooks she wrote. One by one, the heavy blows of life came. Natalie didn't have much vision for the future, and this series of life encounters gave her an opportunity to think about her future life.
Although Natalie told Fabian (her students) that her life was not so bad, and that her spiritual life was full enough to make her happy, she was sad that she would never be able to go to the house where the family used to go on vacation, to give up all her memories, and to the little beach where she watched the children grow up.
Fabian told Natalie that you just wanted to act without going against your values, but you didn't think about changing your lifestyle. Your mind is clear, but your lifestyle remains the same. Although Natalie retorted that in my opinion, these things were meaningless, and I had no ambition to revolutionize, these words really poked her heart.
When Natalie was giving lessons to her students, she read an excerpt from Rousseau's epistolary novel The New Eloise, elevating the theme: When we have desires, we can be unhappy. We cannot be satisfied with what we already have, and the hope will always bring more happiness. We only feel happy before we are happy.
This is not a movie about how women are betrayed by marriage in middle age, and then how to fight back and find themselves. The film wants to express it much more profoundly than this. Philosophy runs through the film, and the director tries to use philosophy to discuss life with people. There are still many details in the movie that are worth scrutinizing.
In the film, Rousseau's novel: What will happen in the future, no one can predict, but even if you suffer difficulties, you must maintain enthusiasm, imagination, and hope that you can pursue true happiness, this hope will make people happy. Unfortunately for those who have no desires and no needs, he loses everything he has as a result.
