N the 20th century - there were major events the World War 1, and World war 2 and the Black Movements of 1960s that gave Black people to travel in a bus and the most liberating of all was the GYPSY Trend - the Beatles, and everyone was getting liberated about SEX
Youth were breaking the barriers of social norms
There were - people smoking drugs and seeking salvation
Those were the times of Osho and Iskcon - Hare Rama Hare Krishna
In such times of 1960 - those are growing in that era - it must be really nostalgic
Compared that today's being FREE and LIBERATION is a big FARCE of fad and imitation
But in such times of 1960s - in France - when there was a movement to throw off the government through PROTESTS - where ideologies of Communism, Marxism and Maoist and emerging Capitalist clashed
A liberated modern liberated women Gabrille Rossier - a widower with twin 9 year old children, a Literature teacher and activist was motivating students and teaching them about REVOLUTION in France
One of her students was Christian - a 17 year old bearded lad - son of a rich, wealthy well known politician fascinated by the Militant Maoist movement of China.
Unlikely Christian fell in love with Gabrille, who rejected him many times, but in the end - seeing his passion fell in LOVE with him.
A very UNUSUAL LOVE Story
They secretly went to Italy for a tour together. When Christian's father came to know - he used all his political clout to publicly shame, debar, debase, dehumanize Gabrille as a witch monster who had seduced a minor - which was against the law.
A huge controversy erupted in the whole of France, Gabrielle was publicly prosecuted and it became a media trial - put behind bars - in prison.
In protest Christiani ran away from home.
When Gabriells was bailed out - they met again. There was a retrial.
The boy being a minor was tracked down and forcibly put into mental asylum and Gabrille was again put behind bars.
Even though they wrote letters to each other -and posted them - their letters never reached them. But through news Gabrielle came to know - how much Christian is suffering in the mental asylum while undergoing psychiatric treatment - shocks, injections to calm his anger down.
When Gabrille was again released - To spare Christian from further trouble by his parents Gabrielle committed suicde.
It became a MASSIVE NATIONAL outrage of FREEDOM to LOVEz
There can not be any law that can bar two human beings from LOVING each other.
LOVERz were separated for practising FREE LOVE which was not permissible as per FRENCH law - only because boy's parents did not approve such UNUSUAL relationship.
The whole of France backed the couple and dead Gabriella
Mavis Gallant's who made movies on current social issues - made a movie on the same MOURIR D'AIMER
It became the top most movie of France in 1971.
The humiliation a true LOVER suffers is brilliantly captured in this movie - the prison, the shame, the public outcry against her
LOVERz should LOVE each other like this
But not with a sad ending
It is better - TO DIE FOR LOVEz
I will go with 7.25 out of 10
