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.

Lolita quotes

  • Charlotte Haze: There's a nice view from this window... of the front lawn.

  • Charlotte Haze: Is, um, Madame Humbert, um...

    Humbert Humbert: There's no "Madame". We are divorced...

    Charlotte Haze: Oh...

    Humbert Humbert: *Happily* divorced.

    Charlotte Haze: When did all this happen?

    Humbert Humbert: About a year ago - in Paris.

    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!

    Humbert Humbert: Oh, Mexico, mm-hmm!
