Why, yes, another fanmix for these two from me. The title of this fanmix, L'ampleur de notre guerre, is from the French version of Portishead's Only You, and it translates to The scope of our war. It's fitting for Fredrick and Shosanna, I think. While I could sit here and try to articulate the reasons and motivations for making this one, I'll leave to these three quotes, which have been rattling around in my brain:
From Mélanie Laurent:
“When the movie starts, she is like a little animal – very young and scared. She’s alive, but dead inside because she has seen her whole family murdered in front of her. She buys a cinema – what a great place to hide! Then, when she meets the Nazi soldier, she starts to change. She becomes a vengeance-crazy woman – really obsessed with this one great idea to destroy the Nazis. She’s an amazing character because of these evolutions. She’s a child, a survivor, and she becomes a heroine.”
My favorite line from the scene in the projection booth, which leads Shosanna to reach out to Fredrick as he lay dying on the floor:
"The Face on the silver screen breaks the young girl's heart..."
And, of course, because of Quentin:
"I see them as my tragic lovers: my Romeo and Juliet. His only crime is being attracted to her under the worst possible circumstances. Any other time it might have worked."
Hopefully, I have been able to capture their conflict, anger, and ultimately, love.
