Get lost and never return

In fact, I heard the song "Lolita" of the same name when I was in junior high school. "Maybe I never fell in love with him, but just fell in love with fairy tales." Watched it to the end. Similar films include "Green Snake" and "In the Mood for Love", each of which is also a beautiful picture, the same restrained lust, and different expressions and rendering colors.

Lolita, with delicate facial features, three-dimensional pupils, and fair skin, when she was reading a book on the lawn in the garden, the sun and water droplets sprinkled on her looming skirt that was close to her skin color. You and I, the spectators, regardless of gender, can't take their eyes off the steamy twilight and the young girl. This beauty should be thrilling. Lost and never return, many people see almost hidden lust and love here, but I think this is an expression of restraint. The director skillfully uses the switching of scenes and the girl's low-brow smile, innocent smile. Together they outline a fairyland on earth.

In fact, I can understand the obsession and selfishness of Humbert to take her on a trip despite everything. Many people say that the film covers taboo love, does he have love for her? Or the craving and venting of the flesh. This problem is actually obvious. But as many people who regard love as a lifelong belief, he loves her not because she is 14 years old, not because of her graceful figure or extremely provocative voice, but because she is Lolita, she is the first Seeing two splendid girls with braids smiling at him, even if her smiling teeth were wearing braces, even if his life lost its color before meeting her. But Lolita is like a gorgeous bunch of fireworks, igniting his passion for life and the courage to live. You are my fire of desire, you are my sin, you are my soul. The love words that almost destroyed the moth to the flame and the most romantic tenderness all erupted at the moment of a glimpse. He's forbearing and romantic, and he's too afraid to lose Lolita. So he held tightly to every moment he could have of her. Carefully guarding all this girl's innocence, when she's in the car chewing gum stuck in his car, when she's driving him with plastic bags over his head, throwing coins, when he sees him going to the barbershop When he came back from shaving his beard, he found her sitting on the bed in embarrassment, with the lipstick on the corner of her mouth messy. Even when he last saw her pregnant with another man's child, she was old and bloated and lost her luster. take her away. When a person takes another person as his life, what kind of beautiful attachment is this?

The director made an almost criminal film so beautiful that it was moving and heartbreaking. He takes erotic pictures with pure love, and gives perverted desire to the original sin of love, making this layer of "moral" judgment gentle and beautiful. I admit that I don't want to put aside these beautiful loves to see Humbert's control and cruel deprivation of Lolita, and I don't want to ponder the human deformity in the depths of this love. But in this indulgence and taboo. Everyone sees true gray. Including the moment when Humber shot and killed the so-called "artist" at the end of the film, the dream he placed on her, Lolita's ruthlessness and dealing with him, and the artist's "sexual" incompetence and use, were all at the moment. In ashes, he completed self-redemption and repentance.

But who can resist this feeling? "Just looking at her once, all kinds of tenderness flooded into my heart." Knowing that he lost his way and never returned, this is the last sacrifice he can make for her, and it is also the last temperature of the film.
