Hello everyone, I'm Ma Xiangyu.
2021 has just begun, and the entertainment industry is really connected.
Yesterday, we once again became jumping up and down in the melon field.
Weibo fans 30 million + male top stream Hua Chenyu a Weibo, detonated the hot search:
"Yes, we have a child."
Directly self-detonating, he and singer Zhang Bichen already have a child.
Subsequently, Zhang Bichen released a long article about the ins and outs of the matter.
A story of getting pregnant, running with the ball, and recognizing each other again, all the melon-eating masses were stunned.
There was the taste of the ancient Jinjiang literature that Xiangyu had seen when he was young and ignorant.
However, no matter how magical this melon is, it is no better than a movie that Xiangyu just brushed yesterday.
Obviously, it is a serial cheating doll drama.
The romantic French can understand a little poetic philosophical truth from it.
"What You Say and Do"
The things we say, the things we do
The two leading actors on the poster are both popular movie stars in France.
The actress is actress Camelia Jordana.
She won the César Film Award for Best Newcomer Actress for "Talented".
The other is the actor Nils Schneider, who has worked with her on the film Treasures.
The film's director, Emmanuel Murray.
Good at the topic of love in the dialogue of the story, the emotion is portrayed in a delicate and delicate touch.
Some time ago, Xiangyu also introduced another of his works, "Madam Jungil".
And this work, too, has a good reputation.
Last September, the film was released in France.
It has received more than two million audience attendance in China, and has also gained the love and affirmation of many audiences.
It became one of the "Top Ten Films" of 2020 by the veteran French film magazine "Film Handbook".
Not long ago, it won the Best Film Award at the 26th French Lumiere Awards.
What is the charm of this derailment serial drama about love and love?
As soon as the film opens, it is the encounter between the male and female protagonists.
Daphne (Camelia Jordana) travels to the crowded station.
For his traveling lover François, he received his cousin.
Maxim (Nils Schneider), who comes on vacation, stays in the guest room of the family by his cousin's cousin.
He is a writer who works as a translator and has a dream of writing novels.
However, it is not easy to put ideas into practice.
Daphne accompanied him on a walk around the countryside and talked about it.
When asked about the type of novel he wanted to write, Maxim didn't hesitate:
"I want to tell stories, about emotions."
And this also made Daphne a little curious.
Earlier, his lover François had said:
My cousin came to the countryside to relax this time because of a relationship that ended in disease.
If she wants to talk to someone, she doesn't mind being a listener.
Too much happened this year.
The cousin talked about his past and fell into that complicated and tangled memory.
A year ago, he met an intellectually attractive woman.
They both fell into each other's charms, seeing and dating each other again and again.
But it is also doomed to not have a long-term, formal relationship.
This beautiful woman, already married.
For her, a long-lasting relationship cannot be based on lust and pleasure.
Because the shelf life of these two is not long.
Long-term feelings should stem from a common interest, a consensus about the future of starting a family.
This has nothing to do with pleasure.
Family is family, desire is desire.
Even though she is deeply attracted to her cousin, she is still planning her future with her husband.
When he was transferred, he was about to go to work in Japan, where her husband lived.
She decisively proposed to break up.
By chance, his cousin met his first love again.
Talking about the past, I learned that the miss of the two was not one of the feelings and the other was unintentional.
After years of not seeing her, my cousin still had the idea of pursuing her again.
He hadn't thought about it, he hadn't shown his sincerity.
The best brothers are just getting there.
In the face of his friends, he is reluctant to admit his feelings:
"It's been put down, I told you." Do you remember?"
However, the subsequent development was unexpected by him.
The young couple whose feelings are heating up quickly live together at the speed of light and invite him to live together.
Ma yay! What is this devil-level treatment?
However, the cousin had too many reasons to let himself, who should have refused, so ghostly agreed.
Maybe it's out of friendship, maybe it's out of lust...
Even he couldn't tell.
Watching them kiss and hug, I can only pretend to turn a blind eye.
He didn't want to run away, but he tormented his heart all the time.
If it is a couple, there will always be quarrels.
Brothers and first love are inseparable, often using work to go out of town to distract themselves.
And the solitude of the cousin and the first love is like a very couple.
In the silent night, the ambiguity between the two was on the verge of erupting.
But after his friend returns, he reunites with his first love at the speed of light.
The relationship between the three people seems to be business as usual.
But since then, it has brought some hidden secrets.
Later, the good brothers cheated and confessed, and the two broke up.
Then later, the first love and good brothers rekindled.
But he changed from his ex-girlfriend to the lover who hid from his current girlfriend.
In the end, the cousin announced that he had quit their lives and moved out.
I didn't even get a word of my first love.
The cousin didn't know if he was qualified to blame the other two.
Because even he himself could not clarify the emotion in his heart.
"I'm sure I've longed for her, but I'm not sure it's love."
As René Kirard's "Theory of Imitation of Desire" refers to —
"Desire for the desires of others."
Because others like it, you like it. When there is a love enemy in your relationship, it will stimulate a stronger desire for love.
In this relationship, the cousin is like a spectator and a participant.
Desire and emotion are always entangled.
What are the rules of love?
Daphne also saw too much of the emotions she had experienced in her cousin's story.
Her relationship with her now lover, François, is also full of complicated entanglements.
At that time, Daphne was an editor who was deeply in love with the director she admired.
However, the director fell in love with her friend.
The bitterness of emotional frustration, the gap in the bottom of my heart, just happened to be filled by the new acquaintance François.
Daphne has her own principle – not to associate with married men.
But in this relationship with François, he always allowed himself to accept all the love of the other party.
Until she found herself beginning to miss François, who was traveling with his wife.
Only then did I decide to put my heart to rest and end this fruitless relationship.
"It's a question of reason and will, and it's going to be painful at first, but it's all going to pass. Time will heal everything."
Unexpectedly, François's wife first filed for divorce.
The reason is that she herself is in love with someone else.
But where is all this so simple?
It was by chance that François learned the truth about his ex-wife's divorce from him.
At that time, the ex-wife had already discovered his cheating and chose to be patient and restrain herself.
But looking at her husband who slept peacefully beside her after seeing other women, she couldn't stand it anymore.
That night, she cried bitterly at the bedside for two full hours.
The husband fell into a deep sleep, unaware.
Deeply in pain, she finally found the answer to her relief in a documentary.
"True love is only about the happiness of the other party, love has nothing to do with possession, love a person does not possess anything." 」
A few words strung together to solve their puzzles.
She filed for divorce on the pretext of cheating on herself.
He also found someone to pretend to be his current one, and invited François and Daphne to his home.
Let him enjoy his life with peace of mind.
I chose to fulfill them, and I also let myself go.
Knowing everything, François spent the night with his ex-wife.
But he returned home the next day and hid it from Daphne.
And Daphne?
In the process of opening up with his cousin, he was gradually attracted to each other.
A lingering kiss, a tight night.
At dawn, it still comes back to reality.
Daphne chased after the parting carriage, and the two kissed inseparably.
And the train left.
When François saw the returning Daphne, he showed a relieved expression.
Some people may feel:
What decent love can be told about this chaotic serial derailment story?
But what is love, and who can say clearly?
This contest between truth and lies is also an extremely personal and private inner game.
A single moral standard may not be able to judge absolute merits.
Men and women, indulging in desire, binding themselves, regretting and fleeing when they wake up.
Everyone seems to be trying to distinguish between desire and emotion, but until the end no one can give an answer.
Every desire is a test of human nature.
Every emotion, perhaps, has a deadline.
It could be three months, or it could be ten thousand years.
But perhaps as François says at the end of the film:
In life, there are many such correct paths, but we cannot embark on each one at the same time.
If you are on a path, perhaps you should walk unswervingly.
But Xiangyu still has to say that cheating is risky, don't be a third party.
