On the evening of March 8, 2008,
four people walked, No. 288 Anfu Road, the play "CLOSER"
------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -----
PART ONE characters and plot
There are only four characters in the whole play, ALICE, DAN, ANNA, LARRY, but
it is not easy to explain their relationship:
stripper ALICE and columnist DAN fell in love at first sight, and
a year later, DAN I was still with ALICE, but I fell in love with photographer ANNA
ALICE when I was shooting the cover of the novel, so I took the opportunity to warn ANNA of a woman
. The name, teased the doctor LARRY,
but LARRY and ANNA met and fell in love, but
DAN regretted the marriage at this time, he felt that he loved ANNA, and ANNA has never been able to erase DAN's position in his heart , So the two became lovers for
one night, DAN and ALICE confessed that they fell in love with ANNA, and at the same time, ANNA also told LARRY that he fell in love with DAN.
Both families had disputes, retention, censure, and pain
. It was a year
when DAN and ANNA got together
and LARRY met ALICE by chance. The two had sex, maybe it was just sex.
ANNA asked for a divorce, but LARRY asked for ANNA one more time. agree
Just when she went to DAN with the signed divorce agreement, DAN couldn't bear the sexual relationship between ANNA and LARRY, so
DAN regretted it soon after leaving ANNA, so she went to LARRY, hoping that she could continue to be with ANNA
. Asked by LARRY, LARRY told DAN that ALICE had been waiting
for DAN to find ALICE, and the two reconciled as
before, but on the night before the fourth anniversary of their acquaintance, in bed, DAN finally remembered that LARRY told him that he had had an affair with ALICE. Sexual relationship
so questioned ALICE,
ALICE admitted it, but also said "I DON'T LOVE YOU ANY MORE"
DAN, ALICE, LARRY, ANNA
finally returned to their original positions, and BE STRANGER
was still waiting to say something to someone" HELLO STRANGER"
----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
PART TWO: Sex, Desires and Lies
- Sex -
There is a dialogue in the play, I thought it was funny
when ANNA and LARRY broke up
Larry: Is he a good fuck?
Anna: Don't do this.
Larry: Just answer the question. Is he good?
Anna: Yes.
Larry: Better than me?
Anna: Different.
Larry: Better?
Anna: Gentler.
Do men value sex? I hope that through this, I can prove my ability.
Even in the end, the question is not "Do you love me or him?", but "Is he better than me in bed?"
"Gentler" -
LARRY finally Lost to his own direct deeds, just like DAN scolded LARRY, the woman wants the other party to treat herself as a human, not as a beast
- Desire -
LARRY always says that he has the desire of primitive people
He works as a doctor at night On duty, on COMPUTER SEX's website,
he can tell his wife unabashedly that he found a prostitute during a business trip, and he said it in a pretentious name because the husband and wife had to be frank
. Sleeping with ALICE, although there may be no love in it,
but he couldn't bear ANNA telling him that he slept with DAN and
he asked ANNA: "On this sofa! We had our first fuck on this. Did you think of me?" "
Is this desire only so forgiving to myself? Can't to others?
LARRY has always been aware of the existence of DAN in ANNA's heart. From the first time he met, he knew that ANN had a crush on DAN,
but LARRY still fell in love with ANNA and married her
but knew that ANNA told him that they had happened Sexual relationship, LARRY can't bear all
of this, so, - do men care more about each other's spiritual derailment? Or physical infidelity?
-lie-
Maybe in love, white lies are really necessary for
smart people to admit this, but too naive people will disdain
us. We pursue the truth
again and again, just like LARRY, asking ANNA again and again if he has done it? where is it done? when? How many times have you done it? how do you feel?
Yes, he got all these answers, but when he got it, he found that he couldn't accept it at all and he was
like DAN. He asked like a child, "Is there any?" "Is he stronger or I am stronger?" "You got pleasure ?"...
ALICE was reluctant to admit it at first, because it didn't make any sense
at all, but when she finally admitted it, she also followed up and said "I don't love you anymore"
DAN asked with the answer, but when he heard it himself When he said "YES" from ALICE's mouth, he still couldn't forgive ALICE
. What is the truth?
What is the use of truth?
When we all seek the truth again and again, are you really ready to bear the burden of the truth?
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
PART THREE : hello stranger
walked out of the theater door and heard someone say "this play is not suitable for just talking From the perspective of two people who are in love"
is this true, human nature is so complicated? Fragile? Selfish? revenge? ... all kinds of angles are reflected in the ending of this play
, but everyone is hurt
and what makes us terrified is that those aspects of human nature are so real and there are too many in the
center . Many question marks -
"Do you love me?"
"Have you cheated on me"
"Will you betray me"
"Will you have sex with someone else?"
"Am I really the person you want to spend your whole life with?
...
Sometimes, seeing too clearly, you can't get true and pure love.
Like I said, I am in ALICE, my favorite in the play,
bravely loves a person, simply does evil, says goodbye without hesitation,
and then, still with hope, walks in the crowd and is
ready at any time, with the most beautiful gesture, saying
- "HELLO STRANGER"
"Love was an accident waiting to happen.
If you believe love at first sight, you never stop looking."
SO, REMEMBER, NEVER STOP LOOKING!
Finally, the recommended theme song
"the Blower's Daughter" by Damien Rice
