[Lolita 1962] Kubrick, you are so disappointing

It's amazing that the director can make such a boring film with such an exciting setting.

The male protagonist is too obscene, and the director can't make it. Obviously it was the male protagonist's crime self-report, and he ran away into the romance movie. Moreover, the original work was dominated by the psychological activities of the male protagonist. He must forcibly add other characters. Although he did not design well at all, he still wanted to add them.

In addition, the plot is not foreshadowed. The previous male protagonist did not respond even if his wife died, and there was no suspicion there, and then suddenly a neighbor came to say that everyone was gossiping, which was simply not forcible.

In addition to that, everyone's acting skills are also quite rushed. The emotions of both male and female protagonists are not buffered, especially the female protagonist. Most of the time, she speaks without emotion at all. When she needs to get angry, she immediately shouts illogically. Sometimes she is very like Hepburn's acting, I don't know if it is the acting routine at that time.

Not only that, there are many times in the movie that the behavior of the characters is illogical, mainly because the director did not understand the original book at all, and forced the filming according to his own ideas, but also forced them to say the words of the original book.

Many of the characters are disgusting. For example, Lolita's mother, who seemed to love her daughter very much in the front, suddenly ate her daughter's vinegar for some unknown reason (the director's private goods) and started to be very irritable with her daughter. After knowing that the male protagonist likes Lolita, she even complained My daughter is a bitch to seduce the male protagonist. Although the new mother is annoying Lolita, her first reaction is to protect her daughter.

The heroine is not only not a child, but rather the kind of educated rich daughter. And the behavior is also very illogical. Originally, the heroine was really out of money in the end. She was desperate to ask for money from her stepfather who had once walled her. It didn't matter if you gave it or not, I lived well. In the end, I took the money and said I was going to write you a letter after I moved, just like a green tea bitch who cheated and then felt that it was natural to ask for money from the cheated ex. Her words and deeds are puzzling.

Talking shit at the same time as the new version.

So disappointing Stanley Kubrick! ! !

    Charlotte Haze: Oh, Paris, France, madame... You know, monsieur, I really believe that it's only in the Romance Languages that one is able to really relate in a mature fashion. In fact I remember when the late Mr. Haze and I... when we were on our honeymoon abroad, I knew that I'd never felt married until I'd heard myself addressed as "Senora".

    Humbert Humbert: So you were in Spain?

    Charlotte Haze: No, Mexico!
