It's not meaningless. Check out the name of the gas station, it translates as "layover (of the) bourgeois woman". He knows his wife and son are coming back so can't engage.
One of the most powerful scenes in movie history. The film looks strange in comparison to today's standards but this movie conveys emotions like no other movie does. Obviously artificial intelligence did not elevate us when you compare 1964 and 2020.
@@lepetitchat123 This is how these scenes are in real life, people trying to contain emotions. Actually, now acting is too emphasized in emotional details. Everyone is yelling, screaming or laughing like idiot. Or whispering with no reason.
Everyone speaks about the film and its last scene, as well as the unforgettable romance between lovely Catherine Deneuve and her handsome boyfriend, but none of it would have worked without this out-of-this-world music in the background. So, while this final scene is certainly memorable, the one thing that has haunted me since I first saw this film is its main theme (also known as "I Will Wait for You"), which transcends and surpasses all of the other aspects and brings all of the other elements of the film to life!!!
It's a moving and heartbreaking end because we still have in mind their love story that we thought was eternal. Everything is sublimated and transcended by the magical musical composition of the great Michel LEGRAND.
Jacques Demy had all the shops in the Cherbourg street specially painted in vivid colours for the filming. The film was shot on film stock which brought out all the colours but was very temperamental, and by the end of the 1970s virtually every copy of the film had faded badly and looked "washed-out"; that was the reason it hardly ever appeared on TV. It wasn't until the 1990s that the technology existed to restore it to its original sparkle
Umbrellas Of Cherbourg 1964, definitely the best movie musical of the 1960s, is also 1 of the 10 most beautiful color films ever made, seeing and hearing and feeling this haunting snowy wintertime ending, hypnotic sublime.
@@lepetitchat123 because growing up and moving forward from young love is really really hard and the complex emotions involved are so hard to process sometimes
@@cobyschoolman290 maybe yes if you are young... or you just break up with someone. I think I am like the main characters. It's been years after it happened, so I don't feel any urge to cry. An encounter like this is likely to bring awkwardness rather than sadness in real life.
All the scenes in this film are very colorful except for this final scene. Each character is identified by a particular color. This color changes depending on the situation. From the opening credits, Jacques Demy presents his color palette as soon as we see a rain of colored umbrellas appear. Guy's color is blue (sometimes green with his aunt Elise). Geneviève's color is mostly pink and a little yellow. To stay in harmony with Guy, Geneviève wears a blue scarf while Guy wears a pink shirt. Thus, their feelings are reflected in the colors. In the final scene, it is white and black that predominate, because it is snowing and it is winter. The snowflakes are similar to frozen tears because the love passion has disappeared and Geneviève's black symbolizes not only the death of her mother but above all the mourning of their lost love. Toutes les scènes de ce film sont très colorées sauf cette scène finale. Chaque personnage est identifié par une couleur particulière. Cette couleur évolue en fonction de la situation. Dès le générique de début, Jacques Demy présente sa palette de couleurs dès que l’on voit apparaître une pluie de parapluies colorés qui s’ouvrent. La couleur de Guy est le bleu (parfois le vert avec sa tante Elise). La couleur de Geneviève est surtout le rose et un peu le jaune. Pour rester en harmonie avec Guy, Geneviève porte à la main un foulard bleu tandis que Guy porte une chemise rose. Ainsi, leurs sentiments se traduisent par les couleurs. Dans la scène finale, c’est le blanc et le noir qui prédominent, parce qu’il neige et qu’on est en hiver. Les flocons de neige s’apparentent à des larmes gelées car la passion amoureuse a disparu et le noir de Geneviève symbolise non seulement la mort de sa mère mais surtout le deuil de leur amour perdu.
One thing I noticed when I watched this film for the first time a while back has something to do with the music score in the final scene. Throughout the film, the theme (which is “I’ll wait for you”, which was nominated for an Oscar) that plays in the end also plays throughout the film, and it’s always played in a minor key with the film’s more melancholy scenes. In this final scene, the theme plays again, and it’s swelling up. As it is building up (with a choir in fact), the audience is expecting the theme to transform into a major key (which would make the music sound more hopeful and happier) as a way to say: “I know, it sucks that are two main characters are not together. But hey, at least they saw each other again for a few minutes!” But even in the final notes of the theme in the last few seconds of the film, it stays in the minor key. It’s a pretty darn deliberate choice, if you ask me.
Discovered this after seeing La la land, which had a bunch of references to this one in it. Eternal gratitude to Damien Chazelle to lead me to my favourite musical of all time.
Nunca me cansaré de ver esta película, cada vez que la veo me parte el alma. Mil gracias al legado del cine francés y en especial a la música del maestro Michel Legrand.
I have recently read Michel Legrand's memoirs and at the time of the filming he and Jacques Demy had a massive argument about the balance of the voices and the orchestral backing; Demy wanted the orchestra to be really quiet with the vocals way up front. In the end they got in an arbitrator to settle the score (pun not intended) and ML got his way. The other bit of info which may be of interest is that at the time of the 1992 restoration they couldn't find any stereo soundtrack (virtually all cinema productions were mono in 1964) - then someone remembered that a stereo soundtrack LP had been released at the time, some further searching was done and they finally found the stereo master tape which was used for the restored version
The mundane quality of their conversation just adds to the sheer sadness of it all... what could have been?? And to see His daughter too, it breaks my heart every time. As for the music, just encapsulates their true emotions. 64 year old guy from Manchester.
One of the most beautiful movies, if the most beautiful movie I've ever seen. You know this movie inspired La La Land you know I love this movie so much. I'm so lucky to own it and have the soundtrack. Catherine, de, Vere, it's so beautiful. Oh my God, when she did the black velvet ADS. One of the most beautiful women in the world. I love you, Catherine.
I believe many of us who felt touched by this final scene have relatable stories of our own... To tell, or to be buried for good down the memory lane..
My friend's Mom had the accent and European demeanor of Catherine Denueve. When viewing this I thought of her. She married her husband, who owned a gas station.
Everyone talks about the story, acting and music, but let me focus on the use of colors. Throughout the movie the way vivid colors (red, yellow, orange, blue and green) are used is amazing. But in this ending scene the director has chosen a monotone - white snow and white gas station representing Guy, and black car and black dress representing Catherine Deneuve. Great choice of colors for this sad ending.

I realized the foreshadowing to the ending they had with the lyric in the first half where he said he would love her until the day he dies. You can tell he still has feelings for her in this scene.
Exquisite film, one of my all-time favourites, but this clip seems to be from the unrestored version, with the soundtrack in mono. When the film was restored in 1992 they used the stereo recording from the soundtrack LP (later on CD) which has a much better mix (hardly any films had stereo soundtracks in the 60s and virtually all cinemas were just geared up for mono)

This final scene is so gut wrenching. The irony of life. Sometimes fate deals you a hand that seems so utterly unfair, like it snatches your only chance for love in this world. Life is not supposed to end this way. Whatever happened to the passionate love they shared together. It’s still there. I just want to tell him to go grab her, for you will regret for the rest of your life, if you don’t grab her and tell her you have always loved her.
It wasn't a passionate love, it was a fleeting romance stifled by the cold hand of reality for both characters. It's natural for them both to move on. Neither of them does it with the utmost grace, but this final scene is so gorgeous because of how it shows the difficulty and complexity of moving on. It's not about the absence of those lingering feelings from the past, it's about the challenge of still having them but being able to stay true to yourself and your decisions. That's how I read it at least. I think this final scene is amazing and if they succumb to their "love" for each other it kind of tarnishes their arcs. Guy ends up with a woman who sees his struggles, his burning need for womanly companionship and his fear of being alone with himself. Genevieve trusts her mother that Guy didn't love her the way she thought she did, evidenced by the lack of letters and supported by their exchanges being more romantically one-sided in Genevieve's favour (e.g. telling her she loves him and him telling her he will see her again soon). It's beautiful because the yearning for each other isn't there anymore, but the memories of the past and the yearning for that life is still there. And they know that and have to stick to their paths. It's very powerful. I think there's a lot of ways to read the ending though. I really strongly disagree with your conclusion but I think it's a very complicated conclusion and wraps up the film phenomenally IMo.

We can, in fact, ask ourselves the question of whether Madame Emery did not deliberately destroy Guy's letters to Geneviève. From the beginning of the film, Jacques Demy shows the social context : Guy's working class background (he was an auto mechanic then became the manager of his own service station), the bourgeois background of Geneviève's mother and the very bourgeois background of Roland Cassard (diamond dealer at the wheel of a Mercedes (large displacement and very stylish car). Geneviève was pushed by her mother, imbued with strict morals and the standards of French society of the time (year 1950/1960) to choose a rich husband. Madame Emery is a mother clinging to appearances and to the concern of « what will we say about it ? ». It's the divide between two irreconcilable social classes that clash. It’s out of the question for Geneviève's mother that her daughter links up with the working class and love has no say in the matter. This final scene shows the density of Geneviève's regrets because she does not seem happy while Guy has bounced back and found happiness with Madeleine. In any case we want to believe it for him.
Geneviève : Françoise, reste tranquille ! Le klaxon n’est pas un jeu ! Il fait froid. Guy : Viens au bureau. Geneviève : Il fait meilleur ici C’est la première fois que je reviens à Cherbourg depuis mon mariage. J’ai été cherché la petite chez ma belle-mère en Anjou.

I liked the movie when I saw it 30 years ago however I don't get that the ending is a tragedy. Two people got together then split up. That accounts for almost 100% of the human race. He is seen, at the end, happy with his family and she also has her family. What exactly is "tragic" about this scenario? That we all didn't marry our first loves? Almost none us do. The only really good thing about this movie is the haunting, beautiful melody which was turned into an English speaking worldwide hit.
The kids is old enough to know how to get into and out of a car by herself. And usually that's a problem only in hot weather, not in the evening in the freezing cold where you'd have no reason to roll the window down.
Personally I think that what destroyed me emotionally was the fact that Genevieve had the child of her and Guy and it seemed to me that Guy couldn't care enough to go look for her, instead he went out to drink and have some fun by the port :/ I don't know... In a way I say "that's life" but you can't have romance like that, which ultimately translated to a baby and never look back...
Once you see that cute little boy at the end, it’s game, set and match. How could it be a tragic love story when a beautiful child has been born who brings great happiness to his parents? The little girl has been born too, and many doomed love affairs don’t even have that virtue, that a child came out of it. And finally, the movie should have been called “Le papier peint de Cherbourg” because there’s a lot more wallpaper on display than umbrellas 🙂
It seems nobody realized that this is the end of Splendor in the grass and Lalaland. In fact, Splendor in the grass and The umbrellas of cherbourg is Damien Chazelle´s main references.
Who's "nobody"? Those commenting? *I* realize this is very similar to the ending of Splendor in the Grass, though in that film only one of the former lovers is now married with children. Anyway, it predates Demy's film, which may been influenced by it, or by its ending at least, since the love in Splendor in the Grass is ruined mostly by Midwestern piety.
Sorry for what? She suffered a great deal too, she had no news from him during two years: she didn’t get his letters... I think it’s not her fault if they couldn’t be together, it’s the fault of the war. That’s why it’s such a tragedy.
She didn't have much of a choice in the first place. She was compelled to make a choice and mind you, she didn't even abort the child. She handled the situation with dignity. The man instead seems bitter and moving on instead seems a very conscious decision. In fact, his denial to even see the little girl when it is already implied to him is his daughter and the overexcitement he displays around his son, leaves me disappointed. I'd say the lady in question here has conducted herself in a much more dignified manner than the man could. She's holding onto her past and seems more accepting of it, whereas he acts foolishly to project he is not. To conclude, it is the man needs to apologise to her.
@@loussis8584 she did get his letters, what are you talking about? He literally said she didn't answer his question during the last few months, she wrote letter without conviction and some letters weren't even got answered that he thought she was mad at him first. She grew away from him(the part where she said all she can remember about him is that one picture and nothing else). She even take his kids away like...ughh, a sorry wouldn't even be enough
It is. Add the fact that he possibly knocked her up on purpose to assure she didn't leave him. And do we really know for sure that she didn't take the detour on PURPOSE?
The fact that the ultimate tragedy and climax of the film is just meaningless small talk between the two main characters is genius.
Yes. Sums up the futility , the fallacy of the sentiment of love.
Small talk?? More like Small singing 🙈
That's just how most French conversations go.
@@szeyuhey That's just how most conversations go.
It's not meaningless. Check out the name of the gas station, it translates as "layover (of the) bourgeois woman". He knows his wife and son are coming back so can't engage.
One of the most powerful scenes in movie history. The film looks strange in comparison to today's standards but this movie conveys emotions like no other movie does. Obviously artificial intelligence did not elevate us when you compare 1964 and 2020.

Actually these two actors are wooden and emotionless in most scenes...

Agreed. The music IS a main character.
@@Grihlo No. They don't really. Not everyone.
The main them is beautiful but the film uses it to death. It's just too much.
The technical phrase is “leitmotif”. Invented or at least made popular by Richard Wagner.
It's a moving and heartbreaking end because we still have in mind their love story that we thought was eternal. Everything is sublimated and transcended by the magical musical composition of the great Michel LEGRAND.
Saw this as a teenager at the theater where they played foreign films. I fell in love with foreign films forever.
Not completely happy or completely sad - just life. If this doesn't get you, you're not human.
What’s dramatic and a forceful adaptation fuelled by care and dignity.

If you don’t cry after watching this scène, you don’t have a heart. Maybe the most famous final scene of French movies. I saw this movie in a theater.
By chance I watched it (by myself) on an airplane in 2017 for the first time. I had to hide my face from everyone I was crying so much.
Why should I cry? They both move on and that's what it is.

Too late. He's married with child. And they're coming back from their Christmas walk any moment.
That’s a fatalistic hold. None of all (who feel passion) deserve to live in a lukewarm habitat, yet the heart alone can do so much, apparently.
It wasn't a passionate love, it was a fleeting romance stifled by the cold hand of reality for both characters. It's natural for them both to move on. Neither of them does it with the utmost grace, but this final scene is so gorgeous because of how it shows the difficulty and complexity of moving on.

That's how I read it at least. I think this final scene is amazing and if they succumb to their "love" for each other it kind of tarnishes their arcs. Guy ends up with a woman who sees his struggles, his burning need for womanly companionship and his fear of being alone with himself. Genevieve trusts her mother that Guy didn't love her the way she thought she did, evidenced by the lack of letters and supported by their exchanges being more romantically one-sided in Genevieve's favour (e.g. telling her she loves him and him telling her he will see her again soon).
It's beautiful because the yearning for each other isn't there anymore, but the memories of the past and the yearning for that life is still there. And they know that and have to stick to their paths. It's very powerful.
I think there's a lot of ways to read the ending though. I really strongly disagree with your conclusion but I think it's a very complicated conclusion and wraps up the film phenomenally IMo.
The sad thing is u wanted them to die for love but u just get haertbroken to see that u can live without your love
Cały sens tej sceny. Super to napisałeś
You are brainwashed by mainstream movies.
I can attest to that and yes you can live without a romantic love and move on.
Diamond rendering.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 Sadly, and how many may attest and, well, repeat in their next life if they’d live another..

Mon Dieu cette histoire 💔
Isn't it obvious that Genevieve's mother destroyed the letters that Guy sent her while he was in the milatary service?
I felt like that too, maybe she did. Who knows?
We can, in fact, ask ourselves the question of whether Madame Emery did not deliberately destroy Guy's letters to Geneviève.
From the beginning of the film, Jacques Demy shows the social context : Guy's working class background (he was an auto mechanic then became the manager of his own service station), the bourgeois background of Geneviève's mother and the very bourgeois background of Roland Cassard (diamond dealer at the wheel of a Mercedes (large displacement and very stylish car). Geneviève was pushed by her mother, imbued with strict morals and the standards of French society of the time (year 1950/1960) to choose a rich husband.
Madame Emery is a mother clinging to appearances and to the concern of « what will we say about it ? ». It's the divide between two irreconcilable social classes that clash. It’s out of the question for Geneviève's mother that her daughter links up with the working class and love has no say in the matter. This final scene shows the density of Geneviève's regrets because she does not seem happy while Guy has bounced back and found happiness with Madeleine. In any case we want to believe it for him.
And none is saying anything about her complaining about the cold while leaving her daughter out in the car?
Geneviève :
Françoise, reste tranquille !
Le klaxon n’est pas un jeu !
Il fait froid.
Guy :
Viens au bureau.
Geneviève :
Il fait meilleur ici
C’est la première fois que je reviens
à Cherbourg depuis mon mariage.
J’ai été cherché la petite chez ma belle-mère en Anjou.
J’allais rentrer à Paris, puis j’ai fait ce détour.
Je ne pensais pas te rencontrer.
Il a fallu ce hasard.
Pompiste :
Est-ce que je fais le plein pour Madame ...
Guy :
Geneviève.
Geneviève :
Oui, le plein.
Pompiste :
Super ou ordinaire ?
Geneviève :
Peu importe.
Pompiste :
Ben, c’est comme vous voudrez.
Super.
Geneviève :
Oui.
Il est joli cet arbre, c’est toi qui l’a décoré ?
Guy :
Non, c’est ma femme ...
Enfin ... c’est surtout pour le gosse.
Geneviève :
Bien sûr ...
Guy :
Tu es en deuil ?
Geneviève :
Maman est morte à l’automne.
Guy :
Comment l’as-tu appelé ?
Geneviève :
Françoise.
Elle a beaucoup de toi ...
Tu veux la voir ?
Guy :
Je crois que tu peux partir.
Geneviève :
Toi, tu vas bien ?
Guy :
Oui, très bien.
Chœur :
Ah ...
Merci bien!
Que cool
Devastating
She even rubbed him with a heater.lol
Beautiful film. Wonder is esso was a producer.
❤️
A beautiful couple -
I liked the movie when I saw it 30 years ago however I don't get that the ending is a tragedy. Two people got together then split up. That accounts for almost 100% of the human race. He is seen, at the end, happy with his family and she also has her family. What exactly is "tragic" about this scenario? That we all didn't marry our first loves? Almost none us do. The only really good thing about this movie is the haunting, beautiful melody which was turned into an English speaking worldwide hit.
😢
She didn't pay for the gas.
A larger-than-life movie which makes you forget common sense: she never paid for the gas, but really, who cares?
I assumed that Guy didn't want to charge her as a small act of kindness
If this is shown in England ever. Let me know??
So many great cinematic endings are Folks separating.
ich heule immer bei diesem Film, sorry....
Forgiven if u continue ‘always’..
Did she just leave the kid in the car with the windows down....?
It was the 60's...be glad she didn't put her in the trunk.
It was only like 3 minutes, the kid was fine
hhoag03
Yeah but you know how modern parents are, the guy who made comment is a perfect example of it xD
The kids is old enough to know how to get into and out of a car by herself. And usually that's a problem only in hot weather, not in the evening in the freezing cold where you'd have no reason to roll the window down.
@@highflight41 it was the 60´s... children were no snowflakes then...
Personally I think that what destroyed me emotionally was the fact that Genevieve had the child of her and Guy and it seemed to me that Guy couldn't care enough to go look for her, instead he went out to drink and have some fun by the port :/
I don't know... In a way I say "that's life" but you can't have romance like that, which ultimately translated to a baby and never look back...
Once you see that cute little boy at the end, it’s game, set and match. How could it be a tragic love story when a beautiful child has been born who brings great happiness to his parents? The little girl has been born too, and many doomed love affairs don’t even have that virtue, that a child came out of it. And finally, the movie should have been called “Le papier peint de Cherbourg” because there’s a lot more wallpaper on display than umbrellas 🙂
It seems nobody realized that this is the end of Splendor in the grass and Lalaland. In fact, Splendor in the grass and The umbrellas of cherbourg is Damien Chazelle´s main references.
Who's "nobody"? Those commenting? *I* realize this is very similar to the ending of Splendor in the Grass, though in that film only one of the former lovers is now married with children. Anyway, it predates Demy's film, which may been influenced by it, or by its ending at least, since the love in Splendor in the Grass is ruined mostly by Midwestern piety.
Um. Wrong. Why say nobody noticed? Everyone knows.
They don't make those anymore
⚜️
Hmm. The homemade subtitles. Not the same as the original ones. And wrongly placed. And some left out.
😢😢😢😢😮
I see. And they just let the girl freeze in the car?
She could have said I am sorry.
Well maybe Demy wants to tell us that, after all, she is not..
Sorry for what? She suffered a great deal too, she had no news from him during two years: she didn’t get his letters... I think it’s not her fault if they couldn’t be together, it’s the fault of the war. That’s why it’s such a tragedy.
She’s French 😂😅
She didn't have much of a choice in the first place. She was compelled to make a choice and mind you, she didn't even abort the child. She handled the situation with dignity. The man instead seems bitter and moving on instead seems a very conscious decision. In fact, his denial to even see the little girl when it is already implied to him is his daughter and the overexcitement he displays around his son, leaves me disappointed. I'd say the lady in question here has conducted herself in a much more dignified manner than the man could. She's holding onto her past and seems more accepting of it, whereas he acts foolishly to project he is not. To conclude, it is the man needs to apologise to her.
@@loussis8584 she did get his letters, what are you talking about? He literally said she didn't answer his question during the last few months, she wrote letter without conviction and some letters weren't even got answered that he thought she was mad at him first. She grew away from him(the part where she said all she can remember about him is that one picture and nothing else). She even take his kids away like...ughh, a sorry wouldn't even be enough
imadtam gyerek koromba sirtam rajta😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Too sad
Hot.❤❤❤❤
Oh dear i thought this was supposed to be good. Ne pas bon. Still nice Legrand music.
Allow me to retort, this is the greatest film ever made, better than Carry on Cleo.

Damn, not even an "I'm sorry your mum died"?
Sublime next levit shit

Frank stole all my relatives
Das Thema ist gut aber blöd gedreht schade
The ending of this movie is so messed up on so many levels.
It is. Add the fact that he possibly knocked her up on purpose to assure she didn't leave him. And do we really know for sure that she didn't take the detour on PURPOSE?
