I remember reading a negative review of this movie years ago where the reviewer stated “there’s one long scene where nothing happens just one of the characters ironing”. It was amazing that the author had watched the movie and yet somehow didn’t see it. A pivotal moment in the film, the rest of us realize. It explains why the big flashy CGI movies with spoon fed dialogue and facile plots not only exist but do really well.
@@NeonFilmosophy Maybe her watch was a gift or something that resembles her conservative family that does not quite approve her having connections with someone outside their race. You can see that she takes of the watch in the momente Amadeu notices it and then begin to touch her wrist, as if the watch has been there for long, simbolizing a rutpture in this racist paradigma. I may be wrong but this scene got me thinking this way. Great video and great analysis. Thank you
Yes & No. I hear the cries of the forgotten at the same I’m witnessing pepetrartors voices being uplifted by the masses more than actual victims. This is not sustainable for a healthy society.
I agree .. I've been watching through his movies and have found them each rewarding even when difficult to follow. But this one was far and away my least favorite so far. This essay helped a little, but still I just didn't follow it. Maybe my cultural ignorance of life in France is there reason.
