【Lolita】

An obscure and unworldly love, in the end, did not exchange for another's sincerity. Maybe most people will remember this as an ethical story of a stepfather and a daughter, but what struck me in the end: I thought it was a double arrow love, but in the end Lolita chose someone else.

There are a lot less emotions and feelings than the original book, and what the first half brought me is just: Lolita is so beautiful! I have fallen! It is impossible to see that he is 14 years old, but he is not lacking in innocence and agility. After gradually matured, the communication between the two can only be described as ambiguous. The emotion has never been expressed explicitly, and the beauty is very subtle and subtle. It doesn't quite match the strong personal emotion of the original book, it seems to be more cynical and more loving.

Can't tell what kind of love it was, she became a precocious teenage girl and accepted an inappropriate love, and he spent all he found in the end it was just a teasing tease, but I don't think he will regret having loved, I once had, even if I was in a quagmire, this love was worth it...

(I read a third of the book, and for Quilt feel confused in the film, everything described may be too sudden, and in the end, after Lolita told him everything, his actions were very profound, and I remembered in my ears " Love is like quicksand, I don't struggle...")

The origin of the title of the film: "The Play Gives Zhang Xian"

This poem comes from a literati joke between Song Dynasty poet Zhang Xian (990-1078, courtesy name Ziye) and Su Dongpo. The reason is that Zhang Xian married an 18-year-old woman as his concubine at the age of 80. Zhang Xian wrote a poem about this, "I am eighty and eighteen, and I have a beautiful face and white hair. There is a sixtie in the middle."

Su Shi, a good friend, wrote a poem to ridicule him after he found out about his career: "Eighteen brides and eighty men, pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are quilted in two nights, and a pear tree presses a begonia." "One tree with pear blossoms pressing on begonia" is a euphemism for old couples and young wives, because pear blossoms are white and begonias are red.
