It's rare to see a good movie again. Albert. "INNOCENTS" by Adair, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci of "The Last Emperor".
Many people have forgotten that when the Cultural Revolution was vigorously going on in China, Hong Kong, Japan, France, etc., they were also carrying out one cultural revolution after another. The Japanese Red Army, the "May Storm" in France. Sex and revolution are perfectly combined by them. Students in Paris wrote on the wall, "The more revolutionary, the more love; the more love, the more revolutionary."
Matthew in the film, who came to Paris from the United States, had a hard time understanding that French people's pursuit of film and culture should be linked with politics. such a deep side. He has his own unique perspective on understanding the world. Or compared to the French, he is more pragmatic. He can see at a glance that the length of the lighter on the dining table is the same as the diagonal length of the paper grid on the tablecloth. , the human nose, and even the world, has something to do with the harmony of shapes and sizes in the universe, which he affirms exists. But just like Darwin's theory of evolution seems to be inapplicable to human society, Matthew's theory of cosmic harmony made him break into the world of his twin brothers Leo and Isabella for a while. Still scattered.
Perhaps the twin brothers and sisters have been trying to find a person for three-way love because of ethics. So they found Matthew, an American boy who also studied movies, and the three of them imitated the scene of two men and one woman crossing the Louvre in "Outlaws" and broke a world record. They sang the line "We accpt him, one of us." From the movie "Freak", the relationship between the three began to be officially established, but Matthew didn't know what the brothers and sisters were thinking.
Leo's room was covered with portraits of Mao Zedong and Marlene behind the door. Dietrich's movie poster. When Leo and Isabella lost their bet, Leo masturbated in front of Dietrich's poster. Matthew looked at this scene in surprise, not understanding what would happen next. Masturbation is an improvement, not a revolution.
So, Leo made a bet with Matthew in the same way of guessing the movie name. As a result, Matthew's punishment was to have sex with Isabella.
If you can't remember the movie, you can't remember the culture. If you can't remember the culture, you will have a revolution. If you have a revolution, you must have sex. Leo's philosophical thinking is that as long as there is rebellion and struggle with all old cultures, it is revolution. His revolution was limited to protesting against Charles de Gaulle in the movie salon, watching his sister and Matthew having sex and making breakfast at home, and watching Chairman Mao's posters talking about the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China.
Isabella's revolutionary way is to defend the purity of the revolution to the death. Because of the brother-sister relationship, the love of the three is the real revolution. As a result, Matthew and Leo have conflicting views on the revolution, and Isabella can only choose to kill herself with gas to maintain their purity.
Whether Matthew was a revolutionary or not, I don't know. But after thinking about it, three people, representing three different aspects, will the revolution succeed. Matthew played the role of the rational in the revolution. Revolution is a combination of idealism and realism. Without ideals, without ambition, revolution will never succeed. Without pragmatic people planning the revolution step by step, the revolution will not succeed either.
"Revolution is not a dinner party, it cannot be created like a book, a painting, or an embroidery. It will not unfold with grace, tranquility, delicacy...or sweetness, kindness, modesty...restraint or generosity. A revolution It was an uprising...an act of violence...one class overthrew another class." Leo was reading Mao Zedong's quotations, which fully reflected his views on revolution. It's just this concept, it's just an ideal, Leo never thought of putting her into practice.
"Then why don't you think Mao Zedong is a good director. Make a movie with millions of people as actors. All those Red Guards, marching towards the future, with the red book in their hands, with books, not guns. With culture , not violence. Can't you see how wonderful an epic movie that would be?" Matthew's view of revolution, without violence or culture, is just a fantasy.
So Matthew told Leo, if you really believe those, you shouldn't stay in the house now, chatting, drinking high-end red wine, talking about movies, but should be outside. This is an obvious contradiction.
So the contradiction is always full of the whole movie, full of the whole world; full of our life, full of human history. The love of three people will not last long, and only relying on masturbation (improvement) and sex (revolution) will never resolve the contradiction. The existence of contradictions will inevitably make things die out and form the next new thing to adapt to this world. Either attempt suicide like Isabella, or only in the end, this trio, only Leo and Isabella fight against the military and police.
Matthew says "I Love You" to Isabella and Leo says "I Love You, Too" to her Matthew insisted on asking Leo to remove TOO, but Leo refused. Between the three, men and women, men and women, and men and women, built a short and deformed love.
Any person who behaves erratically will always have a weak side in his heart. They know how to resist, but they can't survive. For the world and for the revolution, you are just a dream. How ironic that they squander their parents' money while scolding the decadence of the previous generation!
Or about that passionate year that hit the world, that May. I remember astronaut Michael Collins, facing our blue earth, sent out this emotion:
"I really believe that if the political leaders of the world can see our planet from a distance of, say, 100,000 miles, then Their worldview will be radically changed, vital national borders will not be seen, and the clamor of disputes will suddenly fall silent. This little planet will continue to spin, quiet and peaceful. There will be no compartmentalization, so What is presented is a complete surface. It requires us to think in the same way, to be treated equally. The earth must become what it appears to be: blue and white, without capitalism or communism; blue and white, There is no difference between rich and poor; blue and white, no jealousy or jealousy."
The love of these three people will not exist, an idealist, a pragmatist, an organizational planner who specializes in maintaining the trio. Some people seem to be revolutionary, but in fact they can only talk about it (Leo). Someone who looks old-fashioned actually understands what a revolution should do (Matthew). Some people seem to treat sex unscrupulously, but in fact idealists are the most simple, and finally rushed forward desperately (Leo). Some people seem to be very simple about sex, but in fact their thoughts are very realistic, and in the end they will only persuade everyone to calm down (Matthew).
So these three will never be together again.
So a real revolution will never happen.
So it's never possible to just make love.
I just want to remember the May storm, the Japanese Red Army, the Khmer Rouge, and the Italian Red Brigade. You have ideals, but the love of the three will not last long. You are dreaming about the world, but you are only dreaming about the world.
