Movies about teacher-student love, revisit some classics tonight. Look for similarities between these tragedies. In the end, it comes down to the uncontrollability of human nature and the strong control of society. I excluded "Out of the Window", although I enjoyed both the film and the original book, I don't discuss the issue of male teachers.
The subject matter of "Notes on Scandal"
is really a big one, and it involves at least three taboos: 1. Teacher-student love; 2. Homosexuality; 3. Sexual behavior related to minors.
I watched this movie with Yafeng two years ago. I have it on her flash drive. Before she could express her emotions, I graduated. I just remember her saying that if this was a story about a male teacher and a female student, the ending would be something else entirely. Society is always tolerant of men in some respects, so I will never discuss male teachers.
The film is filled with an emotional narrative that is completely out of touch with the real world, cold, gloomy, and eccentric. Ambiguous lesbian relationships and explicit sex scenes are presented under this complex gaze, as if people are deceiving themselves while hiding their secrets from others.
However, the original writing is unexpectedly fluent and not depressing. The witty and witty tone of the whole book tells us that this is not the translator's misinterpretation, but the author's original intention. Express depression with briskness and loneliness with noise, which is even more piercing.
"I'm so scared that I'm going to end up alone!" Barbara confesses to Shiba in a gentle, tender scene in the film. She was just alone, they were just alone—so desperate loneliness, in front of the huge black hole of loneliness enough to swallow, the inner ugliness and the dark side of human nature were too frivolous to be mentioned. The name of the best teacher-student love film in
"Classroom Don't Love" has even become synonymous with teacher-student love.
It's so apt. In the classroom, a different kind of love is destined to be infinitely lingering and bumpy, full of imagination, poetry and touching.
Another sexual act involving minors. However, the film does not limit the perspective to the scope of teacher-student love. The article "On Sexual Intercourse" at the beginning of the film flows slowly along with the music, setting the biggest theme of the film. The little boy finally got rid of his infatuation with the female teacher's body, went through the difficult journey of boy to man, and completed his personality growth.
However, the aftertaste of the film is bitter, first everything dislocation, and finally everything returns. This is a passing process. The boy eventually grows up, he no longer needs school, he no longer needs education, he no longer needs his female teacher.
There is no love in the marriage of a female teacher, and there is no marriage in the love of a teenager.
A seemingly happy marriage is not happy; a seemingly shrewd life is not successful.
People in their prime have lost their lives in the war, and countless lives that should have enjoyed happiness have passed away.
Dislocation, dislocation throughout the film, dislocation of everything. Emotional dislocation. Misplacement of roles. Dislocation of life. Dislocation of life.
Frank, the teacher's husband, touched me the most. He led the teenager into the wider world, Beethoven's music, wool socks, Frank sketched a natural and perfect world for Stie.
He reminded me of Gao Kunshan, the man who taught me oil painting, pointed calligraphy, explored literature, and analyzed world affairs, who was as warm and kind as me. He pointed to my beautiful female teacher and their son and said to me that this is the responsibility of happiness.
He also reminded me of another person, the red Chinese knot that I never dared to face.
Maybe, maybe, when I pass by China Unicom in the future, I can raise my head and face the big bright red. He will also be infected with Frank's kindness. I just refused to accept it.
Some people in "Piano Teacher"
said that "Farewell to the Classroom" is a sister chapter of "Piano Teacher", so I traced it all the way. After reading it, I was speechless and thoughtless.
This is an extremely pure tragedy.
The students are finally grown up, but the teachers are perverted enough. Jelinek's novels are difficult and unbearable to read, even more difficult to understand than Margaret Duras's. I don't know if the Nobel Prize was awarded to her later, whether it had anything to do with the promotion of the film.
In fact, this movie has diluted the plot of teacher-student love. It doesn't even focus on storytelling. It goes beyond what ethical cinema is meant to express. Compared with the first two, it is more decisive and completely perverted and cruel!
Blood, self-mutilation, or a form of masturbation in disguise? Or a disguised expression of love and freedom? But then again, we all have the potential to be pathological. Who dares not admit it?
When the resonance of the original desire is changed by the difference in age, satisfaction, and pursuit, we can only experience the fullness of the woman's life in the only staged plot, in the midst of torture and pain. Next, the joy behind that frail sadness. The heart is even more depressed! !
I was very unhappy after watching the film, and even more depressed after reading the original.
This is really a tragedy of extremely high purity.
Wandering downstairs at the female teacher's house, walking carefully into the door, this is the same scene in the three films. Not coincidence, not plagiarism, not cliché, but truth. So real. There is something that is accepted on a daily basis and then reflected like a mirror, mixed with memories, dreams and ideas.
Heavy, is this the eternal style of teacher-student love? too heavy. Thought goes astray. I don't want to, go to sleep. Suddenly it's three in the morning!
