distant love story

Very touched, this kind of dedication is rare in this era, an extraordinarily romantic love story, very consistent, very compact, very tight, the rhythm of mountain spring water, fast flow but clear and transparent, simple, simply, selfless love.

Compared to Kubrick's other films, this space and capacity are significantly less, like a fat perfect smooth ceramic bottle, different from the other textures, the others are more like spliced ​​pieces but don't look at all. Superb technique right down to the seams.

Simple and obvious elements flicker in the frame from time to time, and it is easy to glue many things together. Beauty, drama, travel, splurge, control, home, enclosure, there are more or less the meaning of water collision, but it is enough, so it looks more sober, clean and noble, I still like it very much.

Regarding love, persistent love, literature, consumerism, pop arts, art, hedonism and asceticism, I always thought this was a beautiful and simple romantic love story, and it became clearer after reading another analysis. It's not love at first sight from fantasy, but a disillusionment about life, about dignity, literature, background, raison d'être and meaning of existence, a bit bleak and moving. But to me, this is still a distant story, an inner illusion similar to a fairy tale that doesn't seem to exist but has evidence of its existence.

Having said that, it is a restrained, cool, comfortable, simple, and a little funny story. The stupidest things people do when they love them the most may be really comical when others watch them.

    Three and a half. Kubrick's Lolita stood on the threshold of the sexual revolution of the 1960s, but couldn't ignore weather and morality, but had to contend with censorship, resulting in a film noir full of metaphor and humor. It is Lolita, after all, it retains the main story of the original book relatively completely, and it is much better than the script Nabokov later published; but it is not Lolita, and the 97 edition cannot be restored, this edition is only the same farther. However, for the murder of Quilty, this version of the original drama is even better than the original: Quilty incarnates the senator, the ping pong ball under the chandelier and the killing after the portrait is a creative unique to Kubrick movies. language.

    The male protagonist has no charm. He imagined that he should be a sullen middle-aged man younger than his actual age. The male protagonist in the movie is too upright, and without evil, how can he fall in love with Luo?
