Novels first, movies later

I've read this novel long ago, it's an English novel.
Later, it was made into a movie and translated into Chinese, but the name was changed.
The first time I watched it was when I was in college. One night, I rented a few movies with my friends and went back to the dormitory. I thought it was a third-level movie, and I started watching it with relish. After watching it for a long time, there was no plot, so I just watched it. I waited and waited until finally, I found out that it was actually an educational film about incest.
I was so pissed that I remembered it was a controversial novel I had read before.

The film is not bad, but compared to the novel, it is slightly worse.

    I just feel that the man is very pitiful, although I thought he was a little perverted at first, but he is also infatuated! Because of the 14-year-old love, it was doomed for a lifetime. It's just that Luo has never been able to understand his feelings, especially when she thought she would exchange her body for money at the end, he was so sad that he wouldn't let her touch him. I believe that he really loves her. She is really a witch.

    True love is, I only want you to be happy, if you are hurt, my world will collapse, and my heart will hurt unbearably. Love can make people crazy. On the first night in the hotel, the quick-cut scene where the uncle went into the bathroom to change his pajamas was amazing, and the feeling of not wanting to leave Lolita for a moment was vividly expressed in this scene.

    Lolita: You're saying you'll give us the money if I go to a motel with you?

    Humbert: No, no, no. I mean leave here now, and come live with me. And die with me, and everything with me.

    Lolita: You're crazy.

  • Humbert: What are you eating?

    Lolita: It's called a jawbreaker. It's supposed to break your jaw. Want one?
