Everyone is afraid of getting old, especially women.
But is the fear of old age really just afraid of age and afraid of wrinkles? Not all, in the end, I am still afraid that I am not loved.
In fact, everyone is the same in the face of aging, Juliet Binoche is no exception.
Last year, 55-year-old French national treasure actress Juliet Binoche boldly starred in a "middle-aged women's online love run", vividly interpreting the pull between aging and desire -
"Who Do You Think I Am"
Claire is a literature teacher, single and divorced, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, eyes firm, and fast speech.
I thought it was the teaching routine of the literary aunt, but I didn't expect that the next second was the 18 prohibitions that Caught off guard.
Binoche sacrificed so big, aunt is really good (dog head)
Claire has a young and handsome lover, Rudo, but it is just Claire's wishful thinking.
Because Rudo plucked x ruthlessly, said that they would spend the weekend together, and would leave after the snap, obviously only treating Claire as a gun friend.
Rudo's sudden coldness made Claire unclear: If you don't like me, why do you still ask me out?
Aunt Wenyi did not lose the little girl at all when she drilled the tip of the bull's horn.
She signed up for a Facebook account close to Rudo, who declined her friend application.
Without answering the phone, replying to messages, or adding friends, Claire felt dumped for no reason.
A wave of anger came from the heart: the old woman was 50 years old and was actually tricked by the young man?
So she had a plan, first approaching Ludo's roommate Alex and then inquiring about Rudo's news.
In order not to reveal her identity, she registered a trumpet, pseudonym "Clara", a young girl who could not see her face but was sexy and charming.
Aunt Wenyi played role-playing, and once it started, she couldn't stop.
Previously, Claire was not familiar with Alex, only that he was a photographer. I walked around his Facebook page and was deeply attracted by his talent.
Talents, the most resistant to being praised, especially beautiful women.
The two of them talked like this, and the stubble of inquiring into the news had long been forgotten.
Claire, who has not been in love for eight hundred years, is addicted to the Internet and cannot extricate herself.
Alex's excitement is no less than Claire's, as "Clara" is perfect and mysterious.
Clara, 24 years old, sexy and charming, also knows literature very well, and there is a maturity and wisdom far beyond her peers between the lines.
As a photographer, Alex is surrounded by countless beautiful women, but Clara is the most special.
He was full of curiosity about Clara, and the two of them could sometimes talk all day, the kind of seconds back, talking about class, eating, bathing, and even going to the toilet.
The long-lost breath of love gives Claire a youthful girlish vibrancy.
Soon Alex began a further offensive, wanting a positive picture of Clara's face.
If refused, Alex would have doubts,
If given, Alex might suddenly disappear like Rudo.
So, she gave Clara a real face.
Claire gave a picture of her niece
Clara unveils the mystery, and Alex exclaims: How could I not like such a beautiful woman!
Claire dialed Alex's phone nervously, and the two quickly began a glue-like online relationship.
At the moment Claire gave the picture, she didn't think that there was a possibility of running, she needed love, even if it only existed in the virtual world.
She silently made a bet in her heart that Alex loved her interesting soul more than her young flesh.
Maybe she made a mistake, but only one bet was not a gamble.
Both men and women, falling in love will suffer from gain and loss, let alone online love.
Alex is eager to show up, hoping to make love more violent, and Claire has no other way but to repeatedly use excuses.
She had tried Alex's upper limit on age, but it was time to talk... What he's in love with now is a 24-year-old sexy thing!
Moreover, this is not only a matter of age, but also a deception.
A long trip interrupted the contact between the two, but completely inspired Alex's determination to run online.
He ended the tour early and headed straight for Paris to meet Clara.
The French are really special waves... Rambling.
Claire ran all the way to the meeting place, and the two stood directly opposite a fence, and Claire plucked up the courage to keep a close eye on him.
The young and handsome Alex was anxiously searching for Clara's figure, but all eyes skipped her.
Unsurprisingly, Alex would never have thought that the "online girlfriend" was an aunt.
Claire fled.
Alex waited in Paris for a few weeks, clara still did not appear, and he could not figure out why the people who were thinking day and night suddenly played and disappeared.
Claire dialed Alex's phone, and she made up a reason: I actually have a jealous and paranoid boyfriend, and there is no way to go to the appointment.
The reason was false, her feelings for Alex were genuine.
This play hurt Alex very much, but he actually became more and more frustrated.
Such a perfect girlfriend, obviously in love but not getting it, Alex is even more unwilling, and Claire's gamble begins to move toward unexpected results.
Not long after, Alex got on the train to Paris again.
This time, it was Alex's gamble.
He told Clara the time the train had arrived and would meet at the platform if she too.
Claire went anyway, and this time she stood by Alex's side, watching him affectionately.
Alex circled around her, looking around, his eyes never stopping at her.
This time Claire didn't give up easily, and she followed Alex on the bus.
Looking at his sad appearance of losing his soul, there was an illusion like waking up from a dream: I would not become the Clara he was looking for, and the Clara who stood with him was a talented woman with a face.
Seeing this, you thought the movie was over, didn't you? No, the second half has only just begun.
Claire decides to swing her sword and tell Alex that she agreed to her boyfriend's marriage proposal and returned to her original life track from the illusory online love.
However, the forgotten Rudo suddenly appears, and he tells Claire a shocking news.
His roommate Alex committed suicide because he met a psychopath on Facebook.
Claire blamed herself for being depressed and needed the intervention of a psychiatrist to live a normal life.
She felt that everything could have been saved, as long as she stopped playing Clara.
So she wrote a novel that recreates the day Alex shows up at the train station, only to change the course of the plot.
Claire follows the distraught Alex on the bus, pretends to be Rudo's ex-wife, and invites him to take a cover portrait of her new book.
Alex kindly agreed to the offer, and during filming, Claire tried to seduce Alex with her "funny soul", and she succeeded.
Although, for Alex, Claire is a substitute for Clara, it is also a highly similar substitute.
The two have a sweet and romantic time in love, at this time, Claire is also ready to meet Alex as "Clara".
The online girlfriend and the current girlfriend are the same person, will it be a double surprise for him?
Either it is a literature teacher, who creates a first-class level of dramatic conflict, and there is a reversal at the end.
While dating Claire, Alex sees a message from "Clara" saying that she and her husband are divorced and want to start over.
Alex panicked and said that he wanted to go home to change his clothes, and when he got home, he dialed Clara's phone, at which point Claire's mobile phone left at home vibrated and the truth was revealed.
He angrily took his mobile phone to find Claire, and approached Claire step by step, and Claire kept retreating in fright, all the way to the road.
The only thing Claire rewrites about the plot that has in common with reality is that the protagonist dies, except that she is the one who dies in the novel because of guilt.
But this is not the ending, neither in reality nor in fiction.
The real ending was that Alex didn't commit suicide.
This is nothing more than a lie by Rudo punishing Claire, who has long discovered that the netizen who fascinated Alex is Claire.
Claire also has a long-hidden lie about Clara.
The picture she gave Alex was of her niece and the third child who had intervened in her marriage.
The young body was still an interesting soul, and before Alex could choose, she surrendered and conceded defeat.
A comment from Douban gave me another imagination of the ending:
Imagine if Claire had sent Alex a picture of herself when she was younger instead of posing as her lover.
To lose is to lose to the young self, and to win is to win the young self.
Oh, screenwriter, you give me the pen, I'll write! (Don't face .jpg)
In the end, I feel sorry for Claire, her husband is seduced by her niece, and the two hope to get Claire's fulfillment in the name of true love.
She said: "I am not afraid of old age, not even of death, but I am afraid of being abandoned."
Her fear comes from age, and even more from the desire to be loved.
50 years old does not deserve to have love, can only play the role of abandonment?
There may be 50 years of life in the future, can it only wither in the soil without love?
Even if the reality is cruel, people only love young flesh, but I love this funny and wise literary aunt, do not need to play any Clara, she is beautiful.
