From Zhang Ailing's "Heart Sutra" to the movie Lolita

Alejandrin 2022-04-20 09:01:41

After reading "The Heart Sutra", I was shocked. I checked it and found Lolita. I saw it a few years ago, but I probably didn't understand it. I don't remember seeing it myself, but the more I read it, the more familiar I feel. I suddenly remembered that I read it in college, but I didn't understand it. In fact, I have read the article "Heart Sutra" before, and I didn't understand it either. Now ennnn understand something! Here's a little introduction to the Lolita movie:

There are four main characters in the show

Lolita, Mother Lolita, Robert and Quinn

Robert is a learned literature professor, and Lolita's mother is a widow in a rented house.

Robert came to the rental house to see the house. In a garden, he was deeply attracted by the beautiful and sexy Lolita in a bikini, and immediately settled down. Luo Mu is a middle-aged woman who has been a widow for seven years. She is very eager for sex and new dependence. In order to get along with Lolita forever, Robert quietly married while Lolita was boarding at a girls' school!

Lolita is a beautiful, sexy, willful and jealous girl who will be jealous of his mother, and she is seducing Robert to satisfy her vanity as a woman.

Her mother, a very careless and insecure woman, was heartbroken when she found out that Robert married her for his daughter and compared her to a cow, ran out in the rain and was killed by a car !

This time can be full of Robert's intentions! He can blatantly live with his stepdaughter. I analyze that the main reason why Lolita has lived with her stepfather for so many years is that she is dependent on this man in material life. When her mother was still alive, although the material was guaranteed, their mother-daughter relationship was not good, and this man was obedient to her and could make her play around with her temperament.

But Robert was very possessive, and he did not allow her to have contact with any man in private. Until one day Lolita meets again the playwright he admires, Quinn, and she starts cheating on Robert and secretly dating him in private.

There have been two or three scenes where they quarreled in movies and TV dramas. Lolita hated Robert for controlling him. She said, "You don't ask me to participate in anything, so do you want me and you to stay in this broken house?" Actually I understand Lolita's grief and anger. I analyzed it. The main reason is that she can't live independently, and she has to rely on him materially. But she still yearns for freedom, because Lolita has no love for Robert, she just uses him, so she doesn't want him to take care of her, but because of her request, she must be obedient most of the time.

In the end, Lolita still ran out. Instead of marrying her most admired idol, she chose the most ordinary man to marry! When Robert went to her again, she was living in a shabby house in sackcloth and working five or six months pregnant, and Robert begged her, "Come with me, I don't care what you've been through, we Start over, you belong to me.", here Lolita said firmly, "I have done too many wrong things in the past, he treated me very well, I can't let him down again"

Seeing this, I know, Lolita has completed the redemption of herself! She's finally on her own, which is a blessing!

In fact, I don't think Lolita has ever loved Robert from the beginning to the end, but even though Robert was interested, I think he really loves Lolita. Many details can be seen. He regards her as a pearl in his hand. Hold it in the palm of your hand for fear of falling, and hold it in your mouth for fear of melting! It's just that this kind of love is too selfish and unreasonable. Every time they live in a place for a long time, they will be pointed at by the neighbors around them. I think they are more or less sick in their hearts.

This film is an ethical human nature film, although it is classified as a pornographic film, but there is no pornography at all.

The final choice of the heroine Lolita is correct, she has completed self-redemption. However, the male protagonist Robert fell into the abyss of hell. He always hated the man who quietly took Lolita away and caused them to be separated for three years. When she learned from Lolita that the man was Kui, Went straight to Kyu's house and shot him and he later died in prison in the agony of love.

The film uses flashbacks to first deduce the scene of Robert killing Quin, and then pulls the scene back to four years ago. The plot is divided into upper and lower Lolita with the death of the mother of Lolita as a dividing line. The switching from scene to scene has a kind of montage feeling. Due to the age of shooting, the film is black and white, just like the oldest version of La Traviata and Roman Holiday.

It's still worth seeing, to see the obsessed Robert who burns like a fool, to see the same silly, persistent and lonely Lolita's mother, to see the sexy and irritable Lost of herself. Tower girl, look at the great screenwriter Kui, who is admired by everyone but abducts girls to take nude photos. . . .

Analysis: A large part of Lolita's ability to redeem herself in the end is that she is a courageous and determined girl. When she left with Kui, it was indeed because that man was his idol, but when she knew that he asked him to take artistic photos At that time, she ran away decisively. She suffered a lot in the process of wandering, and then she met her current husband when she was a waiter. Maybe she had experienced too many things, and she was also tired. She wanted to spend time with this down-to-earth man. Live a normal life!

And Robert is a cowardly man, and his love for Lolita is so selfish and humble. So Lolita never loves him, he loves without any dignity, as long as Lolita wants to stay by his side like a prisoner, he will be satisfied! This man is not plump enough, not attractive enough, and all the love he gets is Lolita's handouts. So he is a beggar in spirit!
