So I decided to watch it again, after many years. Maybe it's a long time ago, and it took me a long time to find a full version of the movie, and it took me 2 nights to finish watching it after more than 2 hours. This kind of film is completely different from the so-called love blockbuster "Love" in my country, which leaves you speechless after watching it. "The English Patient" leaves you with a lot to say after watching, but you don't know how to start, so I After watching this movie for days, I finally thought of writing something down.
An extramarital affair movie, but it was shot so magnificently, because of the fierce background of World War II at that time, and also because of the vast natural background of the great desert in North Africa, even ordinary love can appear unusual in such a background. , what's more, it was originally an unusual extramarital affair, no matter what era, decades ago, or now when it is extremely open, such love can still only be underground, watching its germination and development, with repression, but also with Incomparably tempting, in such a scene, breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, although in the end, it is inevitable that it will be a moth to the fire.
The love at first sight happened like this. When he first saw her noble and capable, it might not be her shining identity, beautiful appearance, good conversation, that made people feel heartbroken, but just that kind of temperament, or also called The aura attracted him. We generally think that love at first sight is due to external factors such as appearance and body shape. In fact, it is far from simple. A certain person expresses the charm of TA through some external forms because of his own aura, so even if he does not speak, in At that moment, the two magnetic fields were already attracted to each other. There is also the most famous example in "The Years of Love", the moment the second child and the girl meet, love happens. When they realize that love has arisen in an instant, the parties begin to feel unusual in their hearts, feel close and familiar in their hearts, as if they had met many years ago.
As for the woman in the story, as a married woman, she was naturally reserved at the beginning, but the male protagonist's deep, gentle and focused eyes undoubtedly opened a flower in her heart. In fact, love needs an opportunity, and it cannot be cultivated for a long time. She may love the husband who is like a childhood sweetheart friend she knew when she was a child, but this kind of love is probably different from seeing the love of the hero. . The former may be safe and warm but bland, the latter may be intense and dangerous but exhilarating. However, for both sides, both of whom are adventurous in their nature, such love is on the verge of triggering. Although she was a little hesitant at first, she didn't know if she should approach, even if the other party didn't say anything, but the two of them had already understood their intentions. They followed the small market in Cairo, and the gentle hug and dance at the night dance were silent and affectionate, so that everything was silent. middle. As for the male protagonist, he clearly knows what kind of story will happen when his husband leaves his wife for business reasons, so he is a little panicked and uneasy, not all because of morality, but because of what he thinks is the bondage of love, but everything is Destiny, even if they both sacrificed their lives later because they were trapped by love.
No matter how much struggle, temptation and approach they went through, they were still together without hesitation. Of course, in order not to hurt the innocent husband, all this is underground, and because of the underground, it makes people feel the intensity of love and despair. As far as this role is concerned, I always feel that the male protagonist has the characteristics of Scorpio. From the beginning to the end, he has been refusing and welcoming. He fell in love for a while, secretly wrote a love letter to her, and observed her all the time. I will also feel that this kind of emotion is irrational, it will definitely be exposed, and I will let the woman leave immediately and forget him. For what he owns, he is secretly jealous N times, and even in public occasions, he is rude and cynical and uncontrollable. This kind of tangled and strong personality and expression clearly bear the characteristics of Scorpio, not to mention the killing eyes, Regardless of tenderness or jealousy, the inclination is more marked with the obvious symbol of Scorpio. According to the constellation, it is difficult for people who have been in love with a Scorpio to forget their feelings, because it is too deep and intense, extremely hot or extremely cold. Poisoning is too deep to cure. And the role of the male protagonist in "The Burning Years" makes people feel that he is a Sagittarius, and it is sunny when in love, but it is also easy to let go and light. But his personality is not destined to stay lingering for any woman, so that girl fell in love with the prodigal son of Sagittarius, and even the memory is not complete, it is a despair.
In the end, a furious husband flew a plane with his beloved wife and crashed into the male protagonist. In fact, the sad and desperate mood of the husband is more understandable. The lover has been happy for many years but suddenly and violently betrayed, the self-esteem has been damaged, the belief has collapsed, and life is hopeless. The normative rhetoric speaks for it all. In order to save the heroine who suffered multiple fractures after a plane crash in the desert, the male protagonist also did everything, fierce and crazy, and even became a traitor in people's mouths, but the result was only powerless. In the days when he seemed to lose his memory, it was the good past that supported him through those difficult and painful years. When all this was relieved, his life died along with the broken limbs.
If you want to see some beautiful love, it can only appear in the romance of young boys and girls, such as Hayao Miyazaki's animation "Dream Street Girl", or another master's animation "5 cm per second", even if it is a little entangled, That is also an understatement, purely emotional resentment, needless to say about the love of young people, love is not only in a state of greed and demand, but also has a lot of social and material considerations, and middle-aged people have no hope of encountering Beautiful love, identity and material are no longer something that can attract them. Love at first sight can no longer bear the first feeling of attractiveness with the change of body and appearance. Even if they meet, they have to face too many complexities in the world. problems, and appear depressing and heavy. Because the encounter was at an age and season that should not have met, all this can only make people sigh. But in other words, even if the same two people meet not at this time, but 10 years or even earlier, there may not be a story, because the she at that time, not the she now, and the he at that time, also It's not him now, the years have made them mature and attractive people, and then in such a period, when they meet, they are like ripe grapes. In terms of raw materials, they can brew a barrel of mellow wine. The wine of love. Whether it's "Land Dreams of the Covered Bridge" or "Paradise Lost", I believe that their encounter story happened at the most suitable period for them, but on the one hand, it was also the most embarrassing period. Therefore, the result can only be like this, or succumb to Social norms, let all this return to its original position, if you are unwilling, you can only perish together. This may also be a reasonable arrangement made by the mainstream morality of society for such emotions.
However, love in our youth is often like the feelings that Weibo gives us. It is lively and noisy. The scene seems to be huge and there are many entertainment points, but it is still shallow when you carefully experience it. It's headless hustle and bustle and irritability. Love after middle age is like a blog, the same content, but it is a long story, well-founded, lacking a little interest, but there are thousands of flavors in the bones. In fact, there are more and more movies that reflect the life and love of middle-aged people, and it is also the main type that I like to watch in recent years, not because most directors are middle-aged or old, and not only because the hustle and bustle of youth is far away Go, and more importantly, the beginning of life after middle age is really life, and the five flavors are mixed. At this time, life is no longer just about love when you were young and forced to talk about your worries in order to give new words, but complex needs, desires, interests and entanglements. A complex life requires constantly facing various situations, aftertastes and summarizing , even if it will be a little heavy, it will inevitably become more fulfilling and open-minded. Since many tastes of life have to be experienced, there is no need to escape. In this way, middle-aged life is actually not so unbearable. Middle-aged uncles are not all bald and have a big belly and lose their enthusiasm and interest in life, and middle-aged aunts are not all bloated and only lament and complain. The prospect is bleak. mulberry. After experiencing more human affairs, I have enough peace of mind to be able to face the world, and to feel the many flavors of life more delicately. When middle-aged people simply glance at the young people, they are not envious, let alone jealous, but only meaningful: what we can feel, you are far from enough.
