    [I want to watch the classic 01] I want to see this movie because of one of Visconti's words. Based on one of the greatest gay novels in literary history. The pace of the film is slow, in line with the consistent style of master films. The beautiful boy is the embodiment of all the beauty of divinity, neutrality and spirituality in ancient Greek aesthetics, perhaps symbolizing the "best beauty" of art. The middle-aged artist has a grand secret love in the pain of the body and the pleasure of...

    "I want to be able to see him. As long as 5 minutes, I want to stare into his eyes and listen to his voice. I can look at his hands and know what happened in his...

    You can hit 100 stars for the beauty of the beautiful boy male supporting role! ! It's not so much about homosexuality as it is a film about aesthetics. I agree with what the musician said, humans cannot create beauty, we can only feel and learn what beauty is from nature and the universe (taste and aesthetics are also acquired learning experiences and results). The artist's labor is merely imitating and reproducing the beauty created by nature as much as possible. Therefore, being beautiful is...

    Everyone who thinks it's a calcium film doesn't understand it at all, and they're sullying the movie. Visconti has gone completely against realism and entered a more metaphysical realm to search for beauty. The whole film is not like a specific story, but an abstract, formalistic allegory, filled with a lot of discussion of beauty. The final death is more like a ceremony, the so-called "morning hears the Tao, you can die in the...

    3.5 SIFF The two panics of love and death. Revisited on the big screen, the beautiful boy is still that beautiful boy, the unreachable statue of Youmei. The soul that Dirk Bogarde injects into the character is precious, what a classical...

    [SIFF film version] 1. At first glance, it is a year-long homosexuality + platonic love, but it actually extends to the persistent pursuit of art and eternal beauty. 2. The three dialogues between rational and emotional are quite insightful. 3. Visconti makes extensive use of zoom lens and sports long lens, pan + fast push to simulate human eye scanning. 4. The desolate picture of Venice resembles [Venice Suspicious]. 5. Mahler's classical soundtrack has a sense of substitution. 6. Hourglass...

    90/100, a set of push-pull rolls is extremely delicate, stacking up layers of emotions, is the beautiful boy just that deadly and tempting wild strawberry? No, he is the purest thing in the dirty world, the simple and mellow beauty of "Alice", and the consolation for the sensitive nerves of the protagonist, but how can he use desire to sully such beauty? Therefore, the camera is always the soul of the protagonist, he Approach him in the most sincere way. But beauty is deadly in the end. What...
