Because of "Love and Other Devils". It's the kind of things that make people want to understand. However, I think "Love and Other Devils" is obviously love, but in "Lolita", I think it is more about desire, at least not the kind of love in "Love and Other Devils". At best, it is the wishful thinking and deliberate manipulation of the uncle (forgive me for calling me the uncle of the male protagonist).
As for why Lolita kissed the male protagonist at the beginning, I don't really understand. I understand it as a loli who pursues fresh excitement and kisses the uncle out of early adopters. She doesn't like uncle, maybe it's the pursuit of excitement? If she likes Uncle, she shouldn't have a relationship with Charlie when she was camping so quickly, right? As for her seduction of the uncle later, she was also curious about new things, such as the taboo of "incest". When she knew that her mother had passed away, she had no other choice, and there was a rift between her and her uncle who was deliberately manipulating and trying to get rid of the manipulation. After the rift, Lolita no longer has the joy of a girl, and is more like a ghost who has lost her soul, and the willfulness left over from her innocent character. The soundtrack at the back is also in line with the setting of Lolita's character change. The further back, the more I feel that the relationship between Lolita and the uncle is perverted.
Quilty is influenced by other film reviews, and I think it is also the desire in Uncle's own mind. And think of the resemblance between quilty and guilty, which is actually the sin in his own soul. Combined with Quilty's pedophile special hobby, it can also be linked to what the uncle did to Lolita. And at the end, when he went to see the pregnant Lolita, he expressed his heart, saying that he felt sorry for what he had done before, but he did not regret what happened later, that is, he killed Quilty with that pistol, probably. He also sincerely repented for his sins.
But the question is, who was he who killed him in the end? If this person is fictional, where did the blood on the uncle's face in the last few shots and the corresponding opening shots come from?
Well, in fact, there are still many places that can't be explained. Let's make it up here. And the more I think about it at night, the more strange it becomes. I don't know if there will be any new ideas if I refresh it several times someday.
