What seems at first ackward and weird turns out to be strengths in the end. <br />The ending is definitely a winning point. It sets it miles above the usual musical fare.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-75926868490479718432018-03-08T18:40:21.170+02:002018-03-08T18:40:21.170+02:00I rather like this one.

It makes that part of the story real because the way the story is told is so unreal. <br /><br />I also love the ending. In so many films, we'd got something much more "romantic" but less human. Here, we get something very human and beautiful in its own way. So--yeah, I completely agree with you on that aspect.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-55568825562455240752018-03-07T08:45:52.005+02:002018-03-07T08:45:52.005+02:00To me it is the ending that sells the movie.

That Demy chose this ending marked out the movie as special.<br />I am not sure if I actually liked the train station theme, but the music there was just amazing. The song is still there in my head, it will not let me go.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-31431045859943612962018-03-07T08:42:49.135+02:002018-03-07T08:42:49.135+02:00I think Lola was very good and appealed to me bett...I think Lola was very good and appealed to me better than The Umbrellas, but this also has a lot going for it and I think you will enjoy it this time.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-40901732643173282722018-03-07T02:53:53.933+02:002018-03-07T02:53:53.933+02:00I am glad you ended up feeling positive about the ...I am glad you ended up feeling positive about the film. I agree about the aura of magic with the music and the colours. I do love traditional musicals, but it is so refreshing to see something so different.<br /><br />My favourite scene was at the train station as Genevieve and Guy sing "I love you" to each other. It would not work in a realistic film, but here is perfect! And yes, the ending is wonderful, if bittersweet.Julia Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041411551162128922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-10858194808524835252018-03-06T20:44:11.914+02:002018-03-06T20:44:11.914+02:00You know, I've started this movie twice but ne...You know, I've started this movie twice but never finished it. I'm eager to see what the total experience is like. I've liked the other Demy movies I have seen.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.com
