Last night was Chinese New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve in the world of movies is now a popular option.
The most lively thing these days is the snowy New Year's Eve of "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star".
The snow drifted in the theater, giving this romance a 4D experience.
However, after the noise of the young audience, the hall was left full of chaos.
The uncles and aunts who clean have words of suffering.
The filmmaker's strange trick has exhausted the helplessness of domestic romance films.
However, a good movie doesn't actually need too many off-screen gimmicks.
Taking advantage of the excitement, Uncle Yu also came to recommend an extremely gorgeous love movie today.
Whether it's a new look or a revisit, it's very suitable for the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve-
"Shimbashi Lovers".
les amants du pont-neuf
In the area of romance films, "Shimbashi Lovers" is very famous.
In "The Long Season", Biaozi mentioned this film.
In the literary youth circle in the nineties, this was one of the compulsory courses.
Much of its fame stems from the behind-the-scenes story of the legend.
DirectorLeo Carax, is a geek in the European film industry.
In the past 40 years, only 6 feature films have come out, but all of them are high-energy.
In 2012, his "Sacred Car Dealership" was praised by the "Film Manual" and became the first place in the top ten films of the year.
"Annette" in 2021 also won him the Cannes Best Director Award.
However, he is also a nightmare in the hearts of investors.
The filming period of "Shimbashi Lovers" is as long as three years, investment1.600 million francs(about 200 million yuan), was at that timeThe most expensive film in France
There are even rumors that the three gangs behind the investors have been brought down.
In the end, it was the French Minister of Culture who came forward and listed the film as a national project, which was completed.
It is praised by domestic fansWong Kar-wai of Franceand live up to its name.
Of course, Wong Kar-wai actually stole a lot from him.
Carax's shooting, very freewheeling.
The story of the film takes place on the oldest bridge in Paris: the Pont Neuf.
Due to the closure of major repairs in 1989-91, the filmmakers obtained permission to shoot.
But because of Carax's mills,kept stopping and postponing the filming, and it was beyond the license period
The crew could only reproduce the landscape of the Pont Neuf on a one-to-one basis on the outskirts of Paris, as well as the surrounding buildings and department stores.
In this way, the budget was exceeded by as much as three times.
Carax makes movies, not only for money, but also for love.
He has a principle-
The heroine of every movie is his girlfriend in love
In the interview, he was even more blunt:
I make movies just to meet women
The heroine of "Shimbashi Lovers" is a French film goddessJuliette Binoche
She is the queen of three major film festivals, and she is also the most influential and valuable actress in France.
In literary masterpieces such as "Blue, White, Red Blue" and "The English Patient", he has contributed impressive performances.
As early as 1986, the two collaborated on "Bad Blood" and sparked a spark of love.
This relationship also continued into the filming of "Shimbashi Lovers".
And after the breakup, the two never worked together again.
Therefore,This "Shimbashi Lovers" is like the brilliance of the two in love, and it is also the swan song of this relationship
The gorgeous audio-visual feast shook the nerves of the audience.
In the National Day parade, columns of tanks and planes crossed by, and the army marched with lofty steps.
The magnificent momentum is just to accompany the heroine
In order to shoot the passion of love, Carax did not hesitateBurning all of Paris
Tens of thousands of fireworks are set off, illuminating the sky and the earth brilliantly.
The male and female protagonists run and dance on the new bridge, and their postures become more and more unrestrained and crazy.
When they are tired of jumping, they snuggle up to each other and spin in circles.
Let the fireworks burst onto the bridge, just soak in every hug.
After going crazy on the bridge, he grabbed a motorboat.
The boy drove at speed in front and took the girl on the Seine.
The curtain of water on the shore poured down like mercury under the illumination of the light.
Climb atop the tall statue and shoot indiscriminately into the distance.
The camera skimmed over their heads, catching in the lights of thousands of homes behind them.
The whole city is the backdrop for this love
Carax said that his films can all be boiled down to one sentence:
Boy meets girl
Open your heart when you meet;and closed the door of the heart for various reasons.
It is between this opening and closing that he finds the eternal sparkle in an instant.
In Shimbashi Lovers, the secret of romance is:Mutilated
Male leadAlex(Denis Lavang), a homeless man on the Pont Neuf.
Because he was drunk and lying on the road**, he was crushed by a car and broke his leg.
Back in Shimbashi from the hospital, his bed was occupied by uninvited guests.
The girl's name isMichelle(Juliette Binoche), who is an art student.
Because of a rare eye disease, my vision deteriorated.
In desperation, she ran away from home and lived a wandering life.
The same mutilation made the two resonate.
Alex did not chase the girl away, convincing the other homeless men to let her stay.
Stealing food for her and picking up a discarded radio.
That way you can know what's going on outside
Together, they areStealing
Alex has severe insomnia and must fall asleep with a sleeping agent.
Fast-acting, powerful, and colorless and odorless, Michelle had a great idea.
They arrive at the coffee shop, where Alex distracts the guests, and Michelle takes the opportunity to drug the cup.
When the guests fell asleep, they ransacked their wallets.
With the money, the two of them went to the playground to play wildly.
Let's go to see the sea together, on the beachStreak
Blowing the warm sea breeze, hugging each other and sleeping together.
After a period of getting along, Michelle opened her heart knot.
She begins to accept Alex, who behaves strangely, eager to get to know him better.
Knowing that he was an alcoholic, he also poured a large bottle of wine himself and experienced the dizziness after getting drunk.
I'm going to get drunk with you so I can see you laugh
Carax uses magical scheduling to construct romance in a world of mediocrity.
As the camera pans, the bottle is enlarged, and the drunk duo lie on the ground laughing maniacally.
The dilapidated new bridge is their playground
However, the film is not only romantic, but also breaks the romanceCruelty
Outside of the film, Carax and Binoche parted ways after filming this film.
Perhaps, during the filming process, the relationship between the two was on the verge of breaking.
And one of the reasons for the acceleration of the results is probably a habit of Carax:
A year before the start of filming, the actors will be notified that they are not allowed to take on the role, and they will live in the crew to experience the role.
For 3 years, Binoche had to turn down many film contracts.
She is on the rise in her career and has almost gambled on her career
Carax's selfishness and possession are also projected into the film by him.
Class is the gulf that lies between the lovers
Michelle came from a wealthy family.
If it weren't for the eye disease, she wouldn't have been on the dirty new bridge at all.
Alex is just a poor boy.
The way he maintains this relationship is,Pull the other person into the same situation as yourself
When Michelle stumbles and falls overboard, his first instinct is not to turn the ship's bow.
Instead, he jumped straight into the river and soaked himself all the same.
When the passion faded, Michelle fell into a deep sleep.
Alex, who had insomnia, had to be saddened.
He drank sleeping potions desperately just to fall asleep with his lover.
She's going to sleep, and I'm alone
Michelle's eyes deteriorated day by day, almost to the point of blindness.
Alex wouldn't try to find a cure, just grimace to distract her.
He willingly becomes a guide dog, as long as they stay together forever.
The revelation of the family's search for Michelle is plastered all over the streets of Paris.
It is said,There was a doctor who could cure her eyes
Alex was not happy at all, but like a great enemy.
In order to keep Michelle from leaving, he set fire to the posters.
He was so mad that he set fire to a car full of posters.
* The rising flames also caused the driver to be burned.
But after exhausting all methods, Michelle still learned the news of the search.
* It was the same radio he sent.
Michelle looked at her lover's lost expression, and finally realized it and gave her last hug.
During the night, she coaxed Alex to drink all his liquor and leave Shimbashi before dawn.
Alex was imprisoned for arson.
The next meeting was Chinese New Year's Eve a few years later.
Outside, it was snowing heavily, and they reunited on the newly repaired bridge.
Michelle healed her eyes, Alex put on her new clothes, and the two laughed heartily.
Alex is looking forward to a reunion and a return to the romance of the past.
However, as the New Year's bell rang, Michelle was about to turn away.
She doesn't belong here, she wants to go back to the high society to which she belongs.
Alex roared and pounced on Michelle, and together they jumped into the icy Seine.
This film is loved by the audience, not only because of the spectacle and wonder.
RatherRedefining the love story
The dilapidated new bridge is like an isolated utopia.
The old tramp once tried to wake Alex up and remind him of his lack of ability to provide for love.
He knew that there was no love on the new bridge.
Love needs a room, and love can't sleep on the street
Alex's love, exactlyA rebellion against a consumerist society
The differences between the two lovers are everywhere.
Passing by the noisy nightclub, Michelle lay down and ** with interest.
Alex on the side, but he was still reluctant to squat down, looking into the distance blankly.
On the rickety Ferris wheel, Michelle laughs happily with colorful lights.
Alex covered his eyes in disgust.
He doesn't need money and hates it.
Michelle stuffed the money into the tin box and held it by her like a baby.
He mischievously moves the tin box, causing Michelle to accidentally knock it into the river.
However, Alex's love also taught Michelle a lesson.
She had been madly in love with a cellist, with elegant taste and noble social status.
But after she suffered from an eye disease, she was ruthlessly abandoned.
She often fantasizes about shooting for revenge, and she is devastated by it.
When she hits rock bottom, only Alex is desperate to be by her side.
Those selfishness, deceit, and possession can indeed be unbearable for many people.
But those so-called glamorous loves, peeling off the packaging of consumerism, I am afraid it will only become more dirty.
In the past, this relationship enlightened Michelle, who still looked up at the stars in the deep gutter.
Now, after she has recovered, she will also teach her lover a lesson.
Don't be afraid, but have faith in people
Nothing is irretrievable
Carax gives the film a magical ending.
After falling into the river, the hero and heroine were rescued by a sand boat.
The old couple who sailed the boat told them that the ship was going to sail to the Atlantic.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and rushed out of the hatch.
Rush to the bow of the ship through the sand and shout to the city at night.
Wake up, Paris
