Antoine, the cofounder of the band “The Beauty The World Makes Us Hope For” told me the story behind this song last year.
The title mentions the development of the “Margaud” throughout History.
My first intent was to create an interpretation through drama and dance. The composition would have been the work base of only one actress playing the “missed moments” of her life.
The purpose of a deep introspection of a young 20yo girl.
This idea was too trivial according to Antoine. My visions brought him up a sense of “deja vu”.
His feeling echoed in my head for several days, eventually creating this movie’s images in my mind.
First Part.
The first part of the movie is based on two classics: Pretty Woman and Titanic.
The successions of shots are really slow, the camera motions caress the actors.
The two stories are really similar despite radically different terms : an inconceivable love between two disparate social classes over two periods of life.
Second Part.
The second part is a combination of movies that really affected me.Those are for me some more complex, trivial and modern perceptions of love.
Spike Jonze’s “Her” tells the story of a fictional love with an operating system.
Garden State shares a memory based on an identity issue: the main character played by Zach Braff is the only son who clearly missed his teenage angst.
The climax is reached when Natalie Portman offers her headphones to Zach Braff: this moment shows the genuine love.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the face of evil in our modern times: theanxiety of individuals when facing the fear of losing.
Michel Gondry introduces in his movie a helpless remedy making it possible to erase memories.
This movie is the central theme of this second part where all memories fade away leaving a lonely Jim Carrey on a beach. Alone.
