French film: The film review of Butterfly is about 500 words, which is faster and better.

Looking for Isabella who belongs to us

After watching the French movie Butterfly, I refused to close my eyes for a long time. It seems that once the eyelids are closed, those images will be talked about and the world will become noisy again. There will be no more children's voices asking questions, just like babies whispering.

Butterflies, like a group of fresh pastoral poems, seep into eyes and ears in a quiet way. That scene, through the colorful wings of butterflies, gave me a stunning mansion, so beautiful and so quiet.

Under the blue sky, there are endless green grasslands, golden wheat waves swaying in the breeze, brilliant wild flowers on the grasslands, and butterflies fluttering by little girls. In this film, the quiet beauty of nature and the dynamic feeling of life are so integrated.

In this way, the preference of several friends in the circle for French movies is not without reason.

Butterfly has no ups and downs, twists and turns, nor is it deliberately sensational, but it is just a plain story.

Lisa, an eight-year-old girl, is a child of a single-parent family. Her mother gave birth to her before her marriage, but she didn't know how to take care of her. Lonely Lisa can only keep company with her beloved basketball. When her mother stood up or came home late, she sat alone on the bench next to the coffee shop or telephone booth, waiting helplessly. Until one day, Julian, a lonely old man who lost his son, brought Lisa into his home. Lisa came into contact with butterflies for the first time, and together with Julian, who loves collecting butterflies, she went to find the rarest and most beautiful butterfly in Europe, Isabella.

Lisa has a glib tongue and quick thinking. She keeps asking all kinds of questions and bickering with stubborn and serious Julian. Old people and young people are getting closer and closer in constant disputes and compromises. This journey has become a way to find love and affection.

The beautiful French rural scenery and the humorous dialogue between young and old Xian Yi make the whole movie look relaxed and happy.

Claire Bounnich, a talented French child star, is the highlight of this film. She vividly depicts Lisa, a smart, lonely and sensitive little girl living in a single-parent family. Her smile and sadness are the light and shadow of the whole movie, involving the sight and nerves of all the audience.

Therefore, when the film was released in France, it attracted millions of viewers and grossed more than 200 million yuan. Among them, Claire Bunish's excellent acting skills are indispensable. Her pure blue eyes and shy and charming smile are the antibodies of this cruel world, and no one can refuse the comfort of such an elf.

Watching French movies is always enjoyable. The reason is that French films can always interpret profound themes easily and humorously. Many life philosophies and metaphors are systematically woven into the past lives of the plot and revealed in the details.

This 79-minute film actually covers a wide range of contents. Family, friendship, love, war, money, fate, life and so on. It seems to be an extremely profound topic, but this film is almost perfectly interpreted with simple dialogue and concise lens language.

For example, Julian didn't cover the child's eyes when the beautiful deer fell in the poacher's bullets. He let her know what a poacher is. When Grandpa Julian put the caught butterfly in a bottle with medicine that could kill it, Lisa coldly spit out the word "poacher". This is a meaningful irony. There are too many reasons and explanations in the world of adults, but in the eyes of children, there is no substantive difference.

For example, Lisa and Julian saw a couple on the mountain. The boy asked the girl to jump bravely with him to prove her love.

Julian told Lisa that the couple's love was only maintained by a rope. Usually when people ask each other to do something to prove their love, they show that they don't trust each other. Without trust, love cannot last.

For another example, at a gathering of rich people, Lisa asked Julian how to become rich. Julian told her that it is best to do what you want.

The film also involves many politically sensitive topics (such terms often appear in the domestic film censorship system). Anti-war should be its hidden theme.

I like Julian telling stories to Lisa with his hand shadow. Personally, it is the most ingenious expression in the whole film.

Lisa wants to listen to a story before going to bed. Julian then hid behind the sheets and vividly told the cruelty of the animal kingdom and the whole human world with his hand shadow by dim light. The hand of God created beauty, ugliness, goodness and evil at the same time. It seems that on the day of the final judgment, everyone is a body to be punished.

This metaphor is very vivid and shocking. Julian, played by Michel Serrault, who won the French Cesar Prize for three times, expressed his wisdom and broadmindedness to the maximum extent in his life experience.

When Julian and Lisa stayed in the farmhouse, they listened to the male host telling about the conflict between politics and people's livelihood, the cruelty of war and the destruction of human nature. The figure of the master's old mother, like a wax figure, also brought a strong visual shock.

It is also here that Julian finally said that he was so obsessed with finding "Isabella" to satisfy his son's last wish. His son suffered from severe depression, and he had only one wish before his death, that is, to see Isabella, the most beautiful butterfly in legend.

The theme of family ties is emphasized here. Although Julian's story is calm, the deep feelings contained in it are moving. In fact, he loved his son deeply, but he never said "I love you" to him. My son died young, and all the grievances were too late to make up.

So at the end of the film, when the police dispatched manpower to rescue Lisa who accidentally fell into the cave, the deeply moved old man would say to Lisa's young mother: Go tell the child that you love her.

Here, the camera language turned to some social problems in France, such as the upbringing and education of children in single-parent families.

Julian told Lisa's mother that unhappy children are usually eager to grow up quickly, get rid of the life that makes them feel painful and go to the world they can control.

Lisa's mother suddenly woke up.

In the wild, "Isabella" was surprised by Lisha Yu's recklessness, and the old man returned home with some regrets. But the director set off a small climax at the end. The "Isabella" butterfly that the old man and the children tried their best to find is actually at home. Her initial image was just an ugly pupa.

It turns out that what they are pursuing wholeheartedly is actually around, but it is just ignored.

This is a scene that makes people smile: after class, the little girl rushes across the block, runs up the stairs and knocks on Julian's door breathlessly every day, just to see the process of a butterfly pupa transforming into a butterfly.

The director gave a four-minute shot to show Isabella coming out of the pupa. Isabella slowly spread her wings in the light. At that moment, beauty shocked people's eyes, as if all the pain had been ignored.

It seems that at that moment, I heard Lisa's inner molting.

Guang Chen, the unbearable person in our life, who suffers from pain and torture, is like a pupa, waiting for the process of transformation. Changing from an ugly pupa to a beautiful butterfly is the best metaphor for the growth and transformation in life.

At the end of the film, Lisa releases Isabella. The finishing touch at the end is that the little girl mysteriously sticks to Julian's ear and says, My mother's name is Isabella, too.

Julian looked up and smiled at her. And then we all found it.

This is another touching part of French films, and it is also the main theme of the films. Philip Mueller, who is both a screenwriter and a director, is good at dealing with family comedies. In this film, he lifted his weight lightly, and fused deep meaning into lightness and warmth, which made the whole film full of humor and human touch. The dialogue in the script and the use of the director's lens language pay attention to inner loyalty and emotional loyalty, so everyone watching can find the shadow of * * *.

The romance that the French have always been good at expressing runs through this film. Although Julian is serious on the surface, he is actually as naive as a child. The childish bickering between him and Lisa made the whole movie interesting.

As the origin of art films, France is really worth learning from in many aspects, because its profound film culture is unparalleled.

For example, movie soundtrack music. In this film, Lisa and Julian's questions and answers explain those meaningful and fresh life philosophies in a simple and transparent way. The little girl's voice is lively and playful, and the grandfather is calm and serious. Blending together, it sounds fresh and fresh.

French has always been recognized as the most beautiful language in the world, and the childish French of the little girl is even more natural. The soundtrack of this film is regarded by many people as the lotion of the soul. Nicholas Ereira, who is in charge of the music, synthesized this piece with mellow piano and fluent strings, which added a lot of color to the film.

Another example is the use of color. This 79-minute movie is like a sound and light journey. Nicholas Hite, a photographer who participated in the art film fleeting passion and the Oscar-winning film a beautiful mind, used a clear lens to describe the natural scenery of the French Alps as a freehand landscape painting.

Although there is no lack of such handwriting in domestic films, it always feels like a visual feast. After overeating, the taste buds are paralyzed and there is no aftertaste worth remembering. The so-called big investment, big production, like a vigorous fireworks, only blooms in an instant, and nothing can last forever. No matter how grand the scene is, no matter how grand the plot is, you will feel pale and powerless without the support of humanistic spirit and cultural connotation.

But butterflies are different. Although it is only a low-cost small-scale movie and the story is simple, it is like a prism, and people will reflect on it from different angles.

Today's audience has been spoiled by many European movies. What they want is the double enjoyment of vision and feeling, and this heavy realm is the ultimate requirement for film art!
