you thought that you loved, you loved, but in fact, in the eyes of others, a half-life oath will not be able to grow old with your son It's all in vain;
you think that you are drunk, you are completely lost, in fact, you have never seen the flattery of the authorities;
you think that your love can finally come to an end, in fact, after many years, that person's voice and smile You forgot all about it.
"Love and Elixir" I prefer the straightforward translation from the mainland. The West has never had the concept of elixir, and there are quite a few poisonous holy water. Compared with "love addiction", the mainland's translation will show the theme. more direct and spiritual. Elixir can't buy love, every time you get up and down, get up, dress up, say bye-bye, go your own way, you come and go, and you write it off; your love is not worth so superficial.
One-night stand is the theme of the first half of the film. Although one-night stand has been an imported product of the last century, for more than 20 years, there is still no good director in China who can express it in a ruthless, not salty or wet way, but can evoke The erotic desires of the men and women watching the movie are still unfinished; or they are too fancy and contrived, and the scene is chaotic and close to the adult limit level; or they are too deliberately suppressed, not ambiguous, without passion, taste the same, and make them tired. There are no excessive shots and close-ups of the beautiful bodies of Jack and Anna, just the right amount of nudity, naturally, there is no deliberate arrangement to the end, you can always fail to capture the director and actors' realness and seamlessness.
The film is actually based on the autobiography of a salesman. Jimmy is a salesman of high-end audio equipment. He is handsome and romantic. In today's words, he is particularly good at flirting with girls. He is intimate with employees. The boss finds out and gets fired. He specializes in selling Viagra; Maggie is a young Parkinson's disease patient, born beautiful. The appearance of the two is a match made in heaven. Jimmy pretended to be an intern in the hospital and followed the doctor to see a doctor but saw Maggie's breasts. Maggie thought he was conspiring to do something wrong and shot Jimmy. After Jimmy did everything possible to get his number, the two started a long-term gunshot journey. You come to my house, as long as you have sex, you have what you need and I take it, you are happy, I am happy, why not do it?
Sex, no love. Maggie just wants to live smart, Parkinson's, she can't die, but it's better to die. When I'm shaking with scissors and struggling to open the medicine bottle, what reason do I have to ask a healthy person to love me? So indulgence became the only way to vent, sex again and again, can make me forget all the pain. After Jimmy's first confession, she rejected him severely and decided not to see him again, but because Jimmy waited in the car all night and did not leave, she agreed to the beginning of this relationship, and she began to cherish the relationship with Jimmy day and night. The time spent together was recorded with cameras and video cameras. She thought in her heart that Jimmy would leave sooner or later. After being seriously ill, she gave up when she couldn't open the packaging bag to prepare breakfast for Jimmy, rest assured that the freedom of the people she loves is a matter for her sooner or later, long pain is worse than short pain. After a big quarrel with Jimmy, Jimmy broke through the door, and Maggie's heart-rending cry after that was a reluctance to part with love, a reluctance to part with love, a reluctance to part with Jimmy, and a reluctance to part with himself.
Although the whole film takes the male protagonist as the first point of view, Maggie is more typical, Parkinson's, unrestrained, and an artist; you can see more humanistic care in her, she is the ordinary you in our society I he; Jimmy is too perfect, smart, handsome, first-class ability, he represents those beautiful but very ethereal beings. Maggie can give up for love, when she knows Jimmy is going to Chicago, all she can do is congratulations! She can't bind Jimmy with her broken body and love.
"You can still contact me in the future. You come to my house, have a game, and you leave. We each take what we need, that's all." This monologue is touching, she loves, deeply loves, not a small one The effect of the little blue pill; you come and go again and again, her love goes from the pill to the body, from the superficial to the deep. The movie specially matched Maggie's video tape in black and white. A monologue let Jimmy know how much this woman loves him and how much he loves this woman. Even if he wants to take her to seek medical treatment in the rest of his life and take care of her for the rest of his life, he has no complaints. No regrets; his love is not a little blue pill either. Viagra helped him achieve his career and help him find true love.
In fact, many people think that they are Jimmy, that it is enough to have sex, and it does not matter whether they love or not; however, they will never meet a decent Maggie to make them empowered, love has to give, love has to be returned, and love has to be selfless, Love also needs self-interest, love needs sex, of course, love also needs affection. Love, there is love, there is love, and there is love. There is only sexual love. I don’t think how many Viagras can save it.
