But I have some friends who don't like it as much, or as much as they think. They have a reason: as a work that should have an air of despair, it is too healthy, especially the ending, too childish. I agree with this statement. However, Spanish movies are often like this, even their despair is like blood and yellow sand, very poetic.
In this sunny country, their domineering nationality has determined that they have a high concentration of bright blood flowing on their bodies. They are neither gloomy nor morbid, and certainly unlikely to have total despair. Seriously, to see authentic despair, France, Italy, and Spain can't see it, you have to see it in northern Europe. The countries with the highest level of welfare and the highest suicide rate in the world, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark, because of the harsh natural environment, have a natural and lifelong hopelessness. The only question they seem to think about in their lives is: To live or not to live?
I still love "Lucia's Lover". My love started when Lucia ran off to an island after her insider died. Lucia came to a restaurant. She asked for a paella. The waiter told her that paella is not sold for single, but only for two. Lucia saw the couple at the table next to her sweetly sharing the delicious seafood rice, and suddenly couldn't hold herself back. She cried and said sorry and got up and left the restaurant. Then, Lucia strode into the sun and said aloud to herself: I am alone, alone, I can live alone, I can live well alone...
I like this lonely strength. Actress Paz Vega, who played Lucia, won the Goya Award for Best Newcomer for the role. Vega and her character are blended together, and there is an extremely sensitive and vulnerable temperament, but behind this temperament, you can trust that she can recover a little bit tenaciously through herself, not under the guise of others. It can turn every damage into a nourishment for her own growth, so she presents a very atmospheric thing and is very glorious.
In the flashback, Lucia met Lorenzo, a male writer she had long admired in a restaurant, and she told him that she loved him and hoped to live with him. Luckily for her, Lorenzo fell in love with this brave girl right after the shock. Of course, there is another possibility - she was rejected. If I were the director, I'd like to make another version of what it would be like to tell the story of Lucia who was rejected. Tell me how she struggled with the pain of biting herself every day. She lost herself again and again in the dark, and found herself again and again at dawn, until one day, she became a bone. , and then grew back into her own flesh—she became a different person, a new person to her own delight.
"Lucia's Lover" is actually a story about the resurrection of a bone, not Lucia alone, but several people, including Lorenzo and Lorenzo's former lover. In the process, love once corroded them like sulphuric acid, and condensed them like divine water, and gave them new hearts. In that sense, the wholesomeness at the end of the film, the abandonment of despair to return to hope, is not without reason. God bless the vulnerable people, because they are all innocent.
