A pair of women’s legs walks past the cemetery; they are slender, beautiful, and captivating, exuding fragrance, gentleness, and the unique delicacy of femininity. How can a man’s funeral attract so many women? What kind of man was he? The New Wave master Truffaut’s "The Man Who Loved Women" takes us into the world of a paranoid man. This is a story about love, a story about conquest, or perhaps a story about a man's obsession. Morin is a middle-aged single man who hides a heart full of love for women beneath his ordinary appearance. Regardless of age, he will do everything in his power to care for them. His favoritism for women arises from their beautiful legs, and when he sees a woman who moves him, he will pursue her recklessly, ultimately meeting his demise while chasing after a pair of beautiful legs. The film begins to reveal the framework of this romantic story as Morin chases after the first pair of legs. At a small shop, he is captivated by a pair of women's legs, hurriedly noting down the woman's license plate number. Through a fabricated traffic accident, he asks the police to help him find the owner of the car. However, the police inform him that the car was rented from Germany and that they cannot disclose the owner's address. Morin charms a female police officer and gains the owner’s address from her, then boldly informs the owner over the phone that he has traveled across the ocean for her, and the beautiful woman is touched by his mystery and persistence, agreeing to meet. Morin possesses a unique sensitivity and meticulous care for women that many men lack; he is a man who understands women, and his unconventional obsession holds a profound allure for them. For him, all the women he has pursued are those he truly loves; this love is different from marital love, perhaps a love for the essence of womanhood, for the beauty of women. Because Morin appreciates women’s beauty, he can navigate easily in the realm of women. He writes down all his stories in memoir form—a tale of a country of women, simple yet legendary. Morin devotes his life to his love for women, which subtly reveals the individual differences between the sexes. Behind every woman who loves Morin lies a romantic and thrilling story. Morin's conquest of women is not purely physical; rather, sleeping with a woman is merely a way to prove his conquest of her. He places greater importance on the process of conquering a woman’s heart. He revels in providing passion, unexpected surprises, and uncertain romance, perhaps perfectly aligning with women’s elusive pursuit of emotional connection. Men and women have loathed and yet attracted each other since the dawn of time. Essentially, men place more emphasis on physical pleasure, but this doesn't mean they disregard emotional connection. "When you only want to sleep shoulder-to-shoulder with a woman, wanting to stay with her for a lifetime without a desire to possess her body—when it's not about ownership over women in general, it means you deeply love her." For women, they will only reveal themselves and give everything to someone they truly love. The division between men’s emotions and desires and women’s integration of the two dimensions is precisely what makes the social relationship between the sexes so subtle. In terms of thinking, men prioritize rational thought and are adept at calm judgment and reasoning, laying out results. Women often rely on their feelings; their emotional components carry a significant mystery and uncertainty. Yet perhaps it is this very difference that allows men and women to rely on and attract each other. The relationship between men and women can never be clearly defined, filled as it is with mutual loathing and pursuit. Each can uncover countless faults in the other, yet it is a case of "fifty steps laughing at a hundred." The tale of men and women never concludes, and those pursuits and pains continue to be reenacted in different forms across generations.
