French movie Marguerite movie review

"Marguerite" film review: This is a tragedy. The director uses almost every possible means to show Margaret's existence like a joke, making the audience almost think it is a satirical comedy. .

At the beginning, the ridiculous club concert made people mistakenly think it was a comedy. Then as the plot progressed, whether the truth was to be told, or how it would be told, we as the audience With the simplest and most straightforward thought, this seemed to become a suspense again. Of course, it didn't take long for the comedy to stop being funny and the truth to be unimportant. Instead, Margaret's purity and loneliness filled the screen, and everything became a sad dialectic.

The people around her initially covered up the truth for money, but then most of them couldn't bear to hurt Margaret; the cheating husband stayed with Margaret for money, but ultimately wanted to protect her. The wife who had no ill intentions at all; the black housekeeper who had always cared and loved his master, ended up uncharacteristically leading the ending of this farce. Ask yourself, as ordinary people in the audience, if the mainstream says yes, can we bravely raise questions, or can we just hide and question whether there is something wrong with us.

The whole audience burst into laughter from the beginning of watching the movie, but by the end I couldn’t laugh anymore. What Margaret sings is not an opera, but her lonely heart. The lights are shining, and my heart is lonely.
