Let you fall in restraint

Brodsky said, "A novel or a poem is the product of the bilateral loneliness of the author and the reader." Art, including film, is not a by-product of human development. On the contrary, human beings are a by-product of art. If poetry is the highest form of language expression, then film should be a sincere welcome to you after life has stripped away all its delicacy and suffering. , and then pull you back into life to restrain yourself in pain, and fall into delicacy and beauty. Don't try to fight back against life's beatings. The best way is to indulge in it, so you will find that the sooner you sink, The sooner you surface. After the fifth brush with Carroll, as the side of this bilateral loneliness, from the moment the soundtrack started for the first film, I deliberately let myself indulge in uncontrolled indulgence. Finally, on the fifth time, I floated. After getting out of the water, he started to take a deep breath after holding his breath, looking for oxygen, looking for the faint frequency in the universe that resonates with him but blows like blue. As a Rooney and Catt fan, I can't get away from it without putting my subjective emotions and preferences into the movie, maybe it's true, when we love something, it's probably because we are part of it, In this two-way search between people and things, we use a lifetime of search to piece together to complete their respective internalized cognition and formal integrity. In the eastern United States in the 1950s, the United States, which was free from war in World War II, was in a period of rapid development. Men in thick woolen coats hurried with briefcases. The tone of the movie was the same as the winter in this city, cold and cold. It is also simple and gray, and the water vapor lingers on the glass of the car and the window of the store. It also shrouded the gay community of that era like a fog. It is elusive and cannot be dispersed. It is above the feelings, above the originally weak frequency. There is no doubt that Todd should be the director who understands women the most, but from the point of view of the film, as an artist, he should understand the subtle expression of how to use the camera to present and capture the feelings between women and women. The man, the whole movie has a precise structure, the lines are refined and there are many blanks, there is a palpable touch and a strong sense of overall substitution of the era. Discovered after the fourth swipe, the first in the movie to have Therese and Carol Therese is also on the lonely side of both sides, a nineteen-year-old girl who is young but has good taste. She uses reading and photography to fill the lack of family and love. She has never played with dolls since she was a child. She has a different independence and introversion from ordinary girls. The freedom of restraint is unique. Like Carol, she also likes that unusual train. It is precisely because of this that the two of them completed their first deep, still-flowing gaze in the noisy and hilarious shopping mall full of festive atmosphere. The slightly fluctuating frequency in the universe is like a tensioned spring. The two power breaths at both ends of the spring were originally rushing in the direction of their respective destiny and life, but at such a moment of strength, a collapsed accident caused them. became the first colliding encounter of two individual endpoints. In the vacuum of the universe, the tension between them has become a silent undercurrent, falling into the sky. Staring at each other without adding a single point, without losing a single ounce, makes people feel that this impermanent and wordless emotion of sensibility can also be scaled accurately, cutting people into traces, and turning bones into softness. The director made a test of the possibility that we, as spectators, could personally intervene in the private realm of others, and we undoubtedly need to pay for this successful test with a worried aftertaste. And as the little train that connects them for the first time, just like the intuitive feeling that this means of transportation brings us, it is an extension of young people's approach to dreams, anxiously looking forward to the unknown in the distance, and a sense of freedom and independence. The simple expression is a ceremonial tribute to saying goodbye to the past. And the train carried by Carol and Therese seems to have no destination or end in sight, only the tracks that have disappeared in the horizon, extending forward frivolously and tirelessly, as if we are all building roads for our own journey. People, where do you want to go with her, then you can build a long road together. As long as you have not stopped this kind of pilgrimage and longing for the unknown, then as long as you are willing to move forward, the road is there, and the future is still there. Carol's age and social class gave her a kind of insight and self-knowledge sobriety, and a person's level of insight is equal to the depth of his suffering. When it is wiping the blurred perfume, lighting the cigarette in his hand one after another, and stepping on ten centimeter high heels to keep the corner of his mouth in a proper arc to smile for every powerful person, and he has to deal with this tedious and standard upper world. , she knew too well that this was not what she wanted, and at the same time knew that she loved a woman. Carol's husband Harge , as one of the few male characters in the film, his gestures are full of the atmosphere of a patriarchal society. He is selfish and cruel. In order to retaliate for his wife's entanglement with women, he completely deprives his wife of custody of her daughter. Unscrupulous means can even be said to be despicable. Controlling the wife's complete participation and closure in her own world, the attitude towards her is like the right to use private property and the manipulation like a toy puppet, and what is even more terrifying is that all this is in the name of love, let marriage A moral package of legitimacy is made for this immorality. Encountering love, encountering sex, is not rare, what is rare is encountering understanding. No one knows herself better than Carol, and no one knows women better than Carol, and that's what she's been looking for and failing at until she meets Therese. Suddenly I remembered a paragraph: Everyone has a fire in their hearts, but the people passing by only see the smoke, but there is always one person. There is always one person who can see the fire and walk over to accompany me. I was in the crowd and saw it. His fire, and then walked over quickly, for fear that he would be drowned in the dust of the years, with my enthusiasm, my indifference, my rage, my gentleness and unreasonable belief in love, I walked on Out of breath, I stammered to him: What is your name starts with what your name is, and then, after all, it was not Carol and Therese. If there is a beauty in the love process, there is an unconscious fall in a kind of restraint. Restraint is not about being indifferent and not expressing intentions, but balancing the two poles of emotion and desire, and mobilizing and arranging the distribution of emotion and desire differently at different stages of the love process. Out of consideration of ethics and temperament, people always praise love and suppress desire, and the best love is neither small and innocent, nor the joy of fish and water, but the unprovoked west wind, the grass in the east, and the delusional thoughts like flies and mosquitoes, restraining thousands of people. Thousands of miles, at the end of the day, the world is like an illusion, rising from the ground. This desire, which is a by-product of love, is very close to the Buddha. As far as the process of carol and Therese is concerned, it is also close to a meditation of faith-like restraint. As a Lesbian myself, in addition to the main line of Carol and Therese, what I empathize with more is the inexplicable relationship between Carol and Abey, who has two identities, both small and ex. The two have known each other since childhood and are in love like sisters, but in a specific opportunity in a specific environment decades later, a natural but inevitable qualitative change has taken place in their relationship. And the qualitatively changed emotion between them is no longer the only new quality, and this kind of emotion starts a new accumulation of quantitative changes in another cycle. They were originally childhood friends and long-term friends, relying on each other to understand and listen to each other, but after being soaked in long-term friendship and having a taste of love, they are like best friends who can change their lives. In the end, the two of them reluctantly supported each other on their shoulders, intertwined their arms behind them, and walked down the stairs. The entangled hands behind them seemed to be helping Abey to say: Carol, I will not be your weapon, but I must be your best weapon. Gentle shield. The change in the relationship between the two is like the original glass of water. After putting a chemical tablet in and waiting for it to dissolve quietly and completely dissolve in the water, the appearance of the water is still the same as the glass of water. What can't be seen is the increased quality of the glass of water, that is, the superimposed feeling of thickness. At the end of the film, when Carol put her hand on Therese's shoulder again, Therese quietly closed her eyes. At that moment, what she felt after the transformation should be the arrival of a kind of fate, a kind of tragic poetry. A compromise, a person who exhausted this life could not survive the doom. And she is also willing to live in this doomsday, life after life, regardless of reincarnation. This indescribable feeling brought Carol and Therese to the brink of the 1950s. Love and pain, right and wrong, cause and effect, these gray fuzzy areas, like misfortune and blessing, depend on each other. Maybe the so-called edge is because people have a relationship, so they are intertwined with my world, but they are not overlapped by possession. Therefore, the world is born, and the world has boundaries. Fate does not lose you and me, this is the edge. No matter the era, Carol and Therese have earned respect from the very beginning because death is easy for some people; a little harder is a dream; a little harder is rebellion; ,is love.
