"Each of us has good intentions and shortcomings. Lord, forgive him and forgive us."
I was still in tears when I saw this scene. Since the death of Marquis de Sade, the ascetic godfather has finally become the second maniac in the eyes of the world, but what does it do to the world, he has found freedom in an unprecedented place. This freedom makes hypocrites, bureaucrats, and kings tremble with fear. They hate literature and art, hate writers telling the truth, and are afraid that others will uncover the ugliness and evil, lewdness and depravity hidden in their human nature. They don't even dare to face a quill, cringing under the shell of morality to do evil. Who in this world should be put in a mental hospital, the answer is on the paper. From the composition of the picture to the rhythm of the narrative, the language of the shots in this film is perfect. The script is smooth and popular, but also full of profound metaphors and utter poetry: the envelope left by the doctor's wife before the elopement, the Jesus who shed two lines of blood and tears on the cross, the cut tongue is the ultimate hell after he lost the right to express, the raging fire Be the manifesto of the future Bastille.
Beginning with red wine with chicken bones, to flesh and blood. He tried his best to use his life to portray the truth of human nature. He just wants to let the world know the worst side so that they can pursue the great truth.
The heroine turns into a quill, a way for him to express his emotions. The heroine's bravery, frankness, and hormonal charm are enough to qualify her for this glorious publishing assignment. This is the inspiration that the prisoners under the shackles exchanged for their souls, and the heroine risked her life to hand it over to the man on horseback who was unknown until his death, so that the future generations praised the immortal and controversial poems.
Baudelaire used the flower of evil to show his respect, Nietzsche chose between Jesus and him to become a follower of the latter, and Yukio Mishima told the story of his youth. Countless commemorations and abuses poured in at the same time, but none of them came. Arguably, both criticism and condemnation made Marquis de Sade a permanent place in the literary world. Everyone knows it well, but the secular and ethical make everyone speechless. Behind the shameful silence is the unstoppable crowd. The people watching the fun under the guillotine, the audience watching the love farce in the theater and giggling, the French folks vying to buy books, the characters who changed their life direction under the influence of those words and stories are such a real and vivid portrayal. Most of them choose to remain silent under the pressure of authority, but there are very few who spontaneously choose to escape from the current life after receiving the inducing stimulus, take off the fake leather bag wrapped in the banned book, and go to a new future. This new world is not necessarily warmer, safer and more secure, but it is voluntary, and it has unlimited freedom.
Whether the doctor's nun wife will regret it, the answer must be no. The moment she abandoned the glazed silk, she embraced the right to say no, and pursued the splendor of women. This is the most intense liberation of humanist thought and the supreme glory of a writer.
This glory does not come from a hundred bizarre and perverted stories, nor does it come from the description of deformed and bizarre sex, but how his philosophical thoughts lead generations of generations to persevere on the road of pursuing the liberation of human nature. It's that he changed those spectators who didn't want to sink to get up from the carpet and struggle to resist or escape forever. He pointed out that as a human being, we should take man as the center instead of the Lord, and respect all the instinctive thoughts produced by the soul.
This is neither shameful nor terrible, but a volume of writing, but a light quill.
