First of all, the overall feeling of the movie just after watching it is a bit like "Angels Love Beauty". Both movies can be summarized as the self-salvation of lonely patients. But Francis was lucky. After she understood that reading "Reminiscence of the Water" and "Walden Lake", quoting Virginia Woolf and dislike other people staring at mobile phones, etc., did not really make herself more advanced. She found the balance between dream and reality. I remember that Teacher Zhang told me about Romain Rowland’s definition of "hero" in high school. At that time, I understood a little bit, but I understood a little bit after watching this movie. Probably, although I have unfulfilled dreams in my heart, I can still maintain my love for life after recognizing the essence of life. This is what this movie wants to tell us the most.
Secondly, the word "loneliness" throughout the story, as a hidden line of the plot, continuously connects the plot. The young Francis is very similar to me now. I think the most terrifying thing is not loneliness itself, but the feeling of powerlessness when confused. In late January, after the friends went home one after another, they chose to stay alone to write papers. Every day they went to work alone, ate alone, and stared at the manuscript of tens of thousands of words, and slept in the house with the attic. These are actually okay. But when I learned the calculation software for a few days, I still couldn't use it, and I couldn't find the entry angle of writing. When I sat stupid day after day, I began to feel panic and confused. The loneliness caused by losing my direction is the most terrible.
In fact, people will have some self-denial when they are confused, such as whether they are making the right decisions at every step, feeling that some persistence is a deadlock with reality, and some giving up may just be a painful narcissistic addiction . I remembered last year my brother said that reading a Ph.D. and doing research is to live a long life. Now I think this is the truth. The most uncomfortable part is the irritability in my heart every day, and the powerless feeling of not being interested in anything. The feeling of social disconnection, it is estimated that this is what every young person has to experience, and it is nothing. I hope I can dance with reality just like in the movie, while remembering my ideals.
In addition, the entire "new wave" style, montage pictures, a large number of soundtracks, and long shots running, describe a young literary girl (non-derogatory) who can't pay the rent in New York but uses a credit card to spend the weekend in Paris. The whole movie is actually about the friendship of girls, the kind of philia of "the other me in the world". Seeing Francis chasing her from the apartment, the close-up part is really teary. Because if you have lived awkwardly and sincerely in the world's most snobbish city, this movie will definitely impress you. More importantly, we all survive like Frances, and like her at the end The name on the mailbox is the same, retaining an important part of himself.
I think you must be willing to make friends with such a person, kind, love to talk and laugh, lively character, devoted to friends, a little clumsy, stubborn, able to talk about dreams in the same bed, can meet and smile at the same party, so Why does Sophie always feel that the two are in a competitive relationship? Perhaps Francis always emphasizes that she is a dancer no matter what the situation is. Believe that a purely persistent person will always have a happy ending.
Finally, the movie tells us that in this flashy era, maturity and simplicity are often opposites, and keeping innocence is often called lack of heart. The actress has portrayed a lovely silly elder sister in full and truthfulness, sincere and awkwardly cute. However, in the face of the setbacks of career, friendship, love, and family, she is helpless and still optimistic and positive. Living in ideals and simplicity is always frustrating, and such a role is especially commendable.
