The story is very simple, a girl came to an alternate paradise and broke the original balance, every man noticed her, and the girl also had her own purpose.
The theme the director wants to talk about this time is sex and love. First of all, various metaphorical elements or the bold confessions of the characters in the film, men are chasing sex, youth and virginity all their lives. The dialogue of the terminally ill writer before his death tells the truth. And the title of the film should also come from here. When I met the heroine before my death, even if I saw it from a distance, I was as happy as if I had stolen some treasure. All in all, this is the best character in the whole movie.
The purpose of the heroine's trip is also very clear, to find her father and her lost first love. In the end, between the old man and the hormonal boys, the heroine finally dedicated the virgin to the affectionate guy, with a sense of security and an instinctive choice from the end. This ending is not surprising. But at the same time, it also hides the director's real wolf ambition, which is the almost incestuous argument that father's love is equal to love.
The director included a lot of private goods in it, one is a nice song, the original soundtrack of this movie is worth listening to. The other is that there is a lot of art in it, such as sculptures, poems written by the teenage girl and her mother, and dancers at the party who are almost weird and smooth. And, of course, Liv Tyler's stunning beauty.
It is a little regrettable that the film wants to express too much, and the characters in the film are slightly symbolic and a little thin.
