As a big name in the contemporary French film industry, François Ojun is destined to cheat in the master world.
His early sex themes "Dry Fire" and "New Girlfriend", the strange routes "Flowers and Moons" and "Entering the House". Now he is plain and harmonious, and he has strong control in all types and fields.
It can be said that produced by Ourong must be the fine .
(French director François Ojun)
Ojun is extremely smart. He can tell a very boring story to the climax and ups and downs.
The pits after pits were seduced and floated up instantly, as if you could see Ou Rong's thief smile:
Guess it!
"Franz "

film is adapted from the famous work of Liu Bieqian "The Man I Killed" , telling a story of atonement and love between the two wars. Franz (Anton von Ruker), a German youth who loves art and French culture, died in the battlefield. His fiancee Anna (played by Paula Bell) lived in his house for a long time before the war and took care of the two elderly people. The visit of a mysterious Frenchman Adrian (played by Pierre Ninet) unexpectedly broke the peace of the town.
He claimed to be a good friend Franz met in Paris before the war.
"The truth" gradually surfaced, and Adrian was the French soldier who killed Franz in the war.
However, at this time, Adrian, who is as gentle and elegant as Franz and loves art, has captured Anna's heart.
………
is such a story, which was photographed by Ou Rong and was full of artistic atmosphere!
The entire video is so beautiful that it is indescribable, and every frame seems to be a solidified work of art.
Love flows slowly, warmth and silence, sadness and forbearance are the main colors, the rare bright colors and Anna's rare smile are precious and beautiful.
pieces are 114 minutes long, and has 105 minutes black and white picture , creating a retro visual effect.
only eight colorful pictures are all about lies, fiction or beautiful renderings in memory. The inadvertent colors can always suddenly soak the hearts of the audience.
Ourong Explanation:
"I hope to use colored images in an impressionistic way, and use colors to highlight the moment when love is ignited between characters again - after the tragedy, sometimes life can still be rejuvenated. Therefore, this switching is more because of emotions rather than rationality."
After World War I, the last remaining existence of the old European era slowly appeared in the lens, quiet as picturesque and distant as poetry, and the lens language was soothing and elegant.
Anna lost her lover and her parents lost her son. Their lives are like the Germans' overly self-disciplined life, so simple that they only have black, white and gray original colors, with a faint boredom and loneliness.
And in Adrian's lies, Anna's dream of revealing her feelings, the forced and self-repressed feelings in the past coated the picture with a warm color. The faint color of
is gradually spreading, rendering black and white pictures, and the audience can distinguish between reality and illusion.
In the game, people gradually got out of the past dilemma through repeated color renderings!
The core of "Franz" is actually the pain left by war and how to get out of it.
Ou Rong used a lot of details to show his anti-war.
At the beginning of the movie, Anna asked the cemetery staff who laid flowers for Franz?
The cemetery worker said it was a French man because he received a tip from the other party - French coins.
finished speaking and spat at the side.
means that even if I take your money, I still look down on you.
Later, Anna went to France and was checked for her passport on the train. When she learned that she was a German, the Frenchman in the same train also cast a contemptuous look at her.
"Casablanca" The patriotic song war between China, Germany and France in the tavern has become a classic film and television.
In this film, the "confrontation" of the same two songs in the two scenes brought new touch to the audience.
Adrian In a small hotel in Germany, everyone sang German war song "The Guardian of the Rhine".
Anna also encountered the same situation in France. The people in the restaurant collectively sang the French national anthem - "Marseille".
War has a victory or defeat for the country, but has no winner for the people. There is such a line in the movie
.
When friends were alienated from Franz's father because he received Adrian, the Frenchman, Franz's father said:
"Who sent the children to the battlefield? It's not us, their fathers. When we win and beat the French children to death, we drink beer here to celebrate; when the French win and beat our children to death, they drink wine there to celebrate. We are all foolishly celebrating the death of the children."
Pain appears and disappears in the picture, and the suppressed people urgently need to dispel this feeling of depression and hidden pain.
In order to continue to survive, lies arise...
The part that Anna and Adrian know each other is the best paragraph of this film.
Two people rely on each other and use old memories and beauty to heal their wounds.
In character creation, Adrian gives people a weak feeling, and the pain in his heart makes it impossible for him to be approached easily.
Just like his usual dodging eyes, he is like a wounded and sensitive animal, always seeking people's understanding in order to obtain spiritual liberation.
He is just one of the thousands of ordinary young people who have been pushed to the battlefield. He is sinful because of killing, feels guilty because of killing, and hopes to get peace of mind.
He is just an ordinary person, a fragile and real survivor.
Anna seems mediocre, but she is firm in her heart.
As quiet and profound as her vision of looking at anyone, she has always treated the visitors of life who are intertwined with her with kindness.
Even if Adrian killed her fiancé, even if Cruz wanted to marry her and she had no intention of doing so, she kept her calm and respect for others.
Whether it is a widow for Franz, taking care of Franz's parents, or even finally weaving a two-way lie for Rival and Franz's parents, everything is for others.
Until the end, Anna's mouth curled slightly and her face was smiling while watching "The Suicide Man" in the Louvre.
At this moment, she killed herself who had relied on others in everything in the past.
The biggest feature in François Ojun's works is reversal.
The first half of
paves a love that has been peaceful for many years, while the second half is a surging pursuit.
Anna's journey to find Adrian's true identity in the last thirty minutes, adhering to Ou Rong's usual turning point, driving the reversal of the entire incident.
Adrian's identity continues to change in the plot, from Franz's friend of Franz's parents, to Franz's murderer in Anna, to the unrecognized illegitimate child in the French family, and finally boiling down to a survivor who seeks peace of mind.
This weird guy forced the audience to keep figuring out his motives. What exactly is he doing?
On the contrary, Anna's changes in her feelings for Adrian are the core of the entire story - the self-awakening of independent women in the new era.
From the initial reliance on the Franz family to the active pursuit of Adrian, he turned around resolutely when he learned about the truth about Adrian's life.
A woman's independence from dependence to consciousness, Anna establishes the character through two disillusioned loves.
is also Ou Rong's usual theme of awakening women with pain.
is just like "Eight Beauties", just like "Dry Fire"...
and just like the painting of Manet that has been pressing the title "The Man Who Caught Suicide" is always reminding us:
has some pain, even if it is dead, it promotes our growth!
Under the painting of Manet in the Louvre, the back of the male protagonist looks like the male protagonist, but unexpectedly it is not the male protagonist himself.
director directed the audience's guess to another possibility.
Anna changed the subject, "It gave me the courage to live" , the black and white picture turned back to color.
This painting is obviously of great significance. It is a symbol of the hero's inner guilt and pain.
also blocks the true love between the male protagonist and Anna - unable to express it in the face of war.
Another angle is another expression of the hero's sincerity towards Anna (two real feelings, the guilt of killing Anna's fiancé and the real love for Anna, suppressing each other).
Anna's words also have multiple meanings.
Anna has not only forgiven the male lead, but also forgiven the male lead's belated choice (the sentence before parting on the train, "It's too late").
Then Anna was already calm at this time.
Where will she go, it is imagined by the audience.
