Can anyone tell me what the moral of the French movie "Don't Look Back" is? I read it twice and didn’t understand it! Especially the ending.

This is a film starring two goddesses, Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau. How can you not watch it?

After spending nearly two hours reading it, I still didn’t understand it. At first, I thought the same thing happened to both of them, and I felt a sense of sadness, so I thought of "Two Lives of Flowers", but after seeing it, I found out that was not the case. So I wondered whether the subsequent plot was fictionalized by Sophie in the novel, and then I thought of "Rebirth", but after looking at it, I found that it was not the case. Later, when I saw the car accident, I realized that someone must have died. This reminded me of "The Sixth Sense", where the dead person still thinks she is not dead. But I still can't logically explain the structure of the entire film.

This is not okay. I have watched hundreds of movies and I can’t even understand them. How can I make sense? Although I really want to check the movie reviews online, I always feel that it is more satisfying to figure it out myself, otherwise it would be boring if others point it out.

So I lay in bed and thought hard, thinking, I must figure it out. But I really can't figure it out. Someone must have died, but I don't know which one. Because Sophie is alive at the beginning of the film and Monica is alive at the end.

I had no choice but to check online. As a result, almost everyone didn't understand it. A few claimed that they understood 70% to 80% of it, and they were very happy. Some people also thought of "Two Born Flowers". Most people used dual personalities, schizophrenia, ghost movies, and soul possession to explain it, but they couldn't explain it. Some criticize the director for criticizing the film, saying that it is "full of loopholes."

But there are also some things that are right. For example, the translation is very poor. The last sentence should be "Mom, what are you looking at" instead of "Who is that sister?" I was indeed misled by the broken subtitles. . For another example, several people mentioned that the little girl with fair skin died, so I could confirm that it was Sophie who died. Another person mentioned that for people who were traumatized in childhood, their impressions of things will remain in their childhood. Even though they didn't make sense in other aspects, these tips were quite important to me.

So I lay in bed and thought and thought, from one o'clock to three o'clock, and finally figured it out and connected all the plots of the whole story.

It must be judged that Monica is not dead and Sophie is dead. This is the premise. Therefore, it is very important to clearly understand whose hand the bleeding hand belongs to, and to correctly translate the subtitles at the end. But you may ask, what’s the deal with Sophie appearing at the beginning? This is because little Monica has never been able to accept the fact that little Sophie is dead, or she really hopes that Sophie is still alive, so she has always regarded herself as Sophie over the years. Note that she does not imagine herself as Sophie. Sophie, but thinks that she is Sophie. When she grew up, she also had a husband, two children, a mother, and a job as a writer. But all this changed because of unsatisfactory work.

The mental depression gradually touched the fragile nerve deep in her memory. She began to find that she seemed to have another face in the photos, and there was always a little girl appearing in her sight, and she even had nightmares. In such a chaotic mental state, the temper was naturally bad, problems arose in family life, and the husband proposed separation. She went to her mother's place, but she was not at home. She found her at a mahjong parlor and was busy building city walls, ignoring her. In this way, her spirit became more and more tense, and when she was extremely nervous and vulnerable, she became more and more aware of her true self that had been buried for a long time, so she felt that her face was changing, changing, until she I opened the mirror and took a look, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I found that nothing had changed.

In this process, there are three characters that need to be explained. The first is her husband. I didn't understand why her husband turned into another man at first. Later, I learned that the man who appeared at the beginning was also "regarded" by Monica as she was Sophie. The man was actually another little boy who was in the car at the time, and he was not dead. The face that impressed her most deeply in her childhood has always followed her into her life and she regards him as her husband. In fact, her husband had another face like her, the one who later drove her to her parents' home. As for her mother, the face that appeared at the beginning was also the face of her childhood mother, and it was only in her impression. In fact, it was the white-haired one who lived with her - her adoptive mother. The little girl who suddenly appeared in her sight was her childhood self. It was also an impression and did not really exist, symbolizing her memory. This is why she followed the little girl later, actually following her own memory. The little girl who had nightmares at night and was pulling her around was also her memory pulling her around.

At her adoptive mother's house, she found a photo of her childhood. It had her biological mother and sister on it, so there was a plot where she went to her hometown to look for them. Why did the adoptive mother lock the door and not let her go? She was actually afraid that she would not come back after seeing her biological mother. After all, the adoptive mother had deep feelings for her.

Finally, she found the place in the photo, but her biological mother had pretended not to recognize her. And the man she "regarded" as her husband, the little boy who was also in the car at the time, no longer recognized her after so many years. Later, when he went to the hotel to find her, she regarded him as her husband, but the man just came to have a passionate encounter.

The little girl appears again, which means that she is closer to her memory. So she followed the little girl, in fact she followed the memory, and walked into her childhood home step by step. Back to that time, back to the scene of the car accident. She, her mother, and the little boy survived the car accident, but little Sophie died. Little Sophie is little Monica's beloved sister. During the car accident, their hands were tightly held together, which actually symbolized the transfer of a "soul". Little Monica's soul was greatly stimulated. She couldn't accept everything that happened, so after running away from home, she always regarded herself as Sophie in her soul, and regarded the people around her in childhood as those around her later. Man, live till now.

There is a scene here, which is actually an overlap of two scenes. She meets a white-haired woman at an outdoor cafe, who is her adoptive mother. One is that when she ran away from home when she was a child, she met her here and later became her adoptive mother. The second is that the adoptive mother is coming to pick her up now, and these two scenes overlap. That's why little Monica made a gesture of making a phone call and got on the train by herself.

Little Monica turned into Sophie after changing her clothes. In fact, this process symbolized that she regarded herself as Sophie from that time on until now. It also symbolizes that she is still used to thinking of herself as a Sophie.

But when she returned home, she opened the door and saw her husband and children, who called "Mom". Everything became real at this moment, and she finally got rid of the nightmare in her heart. , found myself. Finally, Monica looked back at Sophie, and she said goodbye to the Sophie who existed in her soul. From now on, Sophie was no longer in her soul, and in her heart, she no longer regarded herself as Su Fei. Fei, but preserves the memory of Sophie...

Although I also used the word "soul" to explain, this soul is by no means that soul, and can be regarded as a "deep soul" explain. Therefore, this is definitely not a ghost movie, and there are no ghosts. Everything exists in the protagonist's psychology.

Overall, this movie is quite interesting. For example, the self in the mirror still exists as consciousness, but the self in the photo exists as fact. These are all details that the director painstakingly showed.

I am reminded of "Stay", which is the deconstruction and replay of all the impressions of the outside world in the protagonist's mind at the moment before his death. It is also a fuss about "the impressions that exist at a certain moment". It's a pity that I didn't understand it earlier, but I didn't understand it until I read the movie review. I feel so sorry! Fortunately, I finally figured it out after thinking about this one for a long time.
