Live in the sun, live in the cave

To be honest, I don't understand how Lucia and Lorenzo fell in love. In the world I know, at least, a Spanish woman who dares to walk naked and reckless on the golden sandy beach, bathing in the sun without any shade, and a Spanish woman who puts all her own A man who is selfish, cowardly, ugly, cowardly and tightly concealed, living in his own little cave, I have never had any concept of the world where the two collide.

I personally don't want to label "Lucia y el sexo" as an erotic movie, although the incisive sex scenes are one of its selling points and keys, and even the Hong Kong-style translation is "Lucia and the Paradise of Desires", but If you look at it as an erotic movie, and focus on the large-scale shots that are intoxicating, I think it is a waste.

The inseparability of sex and love has always been one of the characteristics of European love movies. The romantic color in the bones of Europeans and the freedom and unrestrainedness of Spanish women are not lacking in occasional subtleties. They are Americans who like to stimulate and challenge and focus on sexual feelings. The Japanese themselves cannot achieve. It is precisely in the atmosphere of this unique fusion of Chinese and Western love styles that "Lucia's Lover" has a special flavor.

Okay, aside from these topics that are not willing to be discussed directly in China. What I pay more attention to is the chaotic and complicated character relationships and blurred scene switching in the film. Often, the most interesting things are not those haha ​​comedies that you can understand at a glance, but rather vague understandings. Some people say that "Lucia's Lover" is a work of magical realism, similar to "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

Lucia's lover is Lorenzo. Lorenzo's lover is not just Lucia.

One was an encounter on the sea under the moonlit night. In this floating island with no bottom connected to the mainland like a cover, the two fell into a small hole in the sea. I don't know if it was deliberately dug or natural. , the small hole that was just right was connected to the sea at the bottom, so on the quiet late night sea, Lorenzo and Elena, who was unfamiliar with him, started a vigorous copulation, mixed with salty sea breeze and surging undercurrent. Sometimes emotions are triggered in the right circumstances. Elena was immersed in the sea water and wrapped her arms around the neck of the stranger. She said, "This is the happiest I've ever done in my life."

If I use Zhang Ailing's words, Elena is the white moonlight that Lorenzo can't forget in his heart, just like the romantic and charming night, witnessing a full moon full of love in the sea.

It's just that no one would have thought that it should have been just a night of unforgettable memories, but because of such a small accident, unexpectedly, a fertilized egg was accidentally formed. There is also a later arrangement. I have to say that such a plot comes naturally and wonderfully.

One is real mosquito blood. Lucia seems to be the representative of Spanish women. She is full of sunshine and unrestrainedness, and she is a little naughty and persistent in her bones. I envy her boldness. She is a Lorenzo fan. "After reading your book, I can't read anything else." She was tightly gripped by her own soul, and when she came up, she said to Lorenzo, " I want to live with you." So direct and lovely. So the two of them are crazy together, any time, any place, any challenge. Lucia asked him, "Do you prefer crazy sex with a woman you don't know, or crazy sex with a woman you love." That's a good question, at least I think it is. And Lorenzo's answer was textbook-level, "Frankly, with you."

There is another one, which is truly a non-trivial accident in life. It seems that it does not need to come to Lorenzo's life, but it is destined to appear somewhere. Because of a child, because of a woman's daring seduction, he tried the secret pleasures of taboos, and even so, the price would follow. His daughter, just outside the door of his erotic room, was killed by a dog, and his conscience and his dignity as a father, the moment he closed the door, the moment he cowardly jumped out of the window, was lost.

Three women, three lovers, or more. Maybe it's because Lorenzo is a romantic writer whose bold imaginations and captivating words captivate the women close to his life. Even telling an intermittent story on the Internet can still hold Elena's soul on the computer side. This is probably the charm of words and stories.

But in my opinion, Lorenzo is the most typical unreliable man. Just like the stories he wrote, he has always lived in a small cave that he set for himself, putting all his weakness and timidity away. , hypocrisy is hidden in it, and even fantasizes that he can keep returning to the midpoint of the story, and everything will start all over again. But who can guarantee that even if he is at the midpoint of the story, in the face of the next unknown development, he will definitely be heading in a good direction? Besides, for a man like Lorenzo, I wouldn't even give him any confidence that he can do it.

He will only live forever in his ideal cave and dare not come out.

And Lucia, she longs to live in the sun, she is brave, she is strong, even if at the end of the story, Lorenzo does not come to life, and does not come to the island to find her, Lucia can live a good life alone. Selfishly speaking, such a good woman, why can't she live alone? Why follow a man like Lorenzo?

But it doesn't matter, because the aura of the woman itself drives her to be good no matter if the next life is one person or two people.

It's just that she is enviable. It is enviable for her boldness and wildness, her sexiness and beauty, and her strength to say "I don't swim, I can walk in the sun alone".

If you can walk in the sun indifferently, even if it is a runaway, wouldn't it be better than closing yourself in the sea?

Soak in sea water and you'll let go of your thoughts just to breathe. But why should you abandon the distracting thoughts for a short time, or, in other words, why should you choose sea water in order to escape reality and escape your thoughts?

If you can, if you can face the reality you are facing in the sun, even if you are awake, even if you walk back and forth a thousand or ten thousand times, you will be a person who is truly living. After all, life is reality, not escape, whether it's love or anything.

I can be naked, smeared in mud, and feel the sun

If you ask me, I must not think that living in the sun and living in the cave would be suitable for them to combine. After all, I am not them, and I don't know or understand that the reason why the souls of each other must be closely connected is because of each other The body, or because she understands his words, she can't know.

But I'll just say, if a woman can live as Lucia, that's great. If a man lives as Lorenzo, that's a bummer.
