-------
The film of Ten Commandments No. 6, in fact, both Mr. Liu Xiaofeng and Liang Wendao have written film reviews. But I still have a lot to say. I hosted a chat on 2012-11-24 Saturday night, and I also had good interactive feedback with several other viewers. The discussion was lively and other topics were raised.
The film just ended when a group of first-time visitors came in. They just missed the movie and
I'll tell the plot again:
Tommy is a 19-year-old boy who lives in a friend's house, temporarily works at the local post office, studied diplomacy, is good at Bulgarian, English, and is learning Portuguese. His friend was often out on the run, serving or roaming, and his friend's mother treated Tommy very well, because Tommy was always by her side, and she treated him like a son. Just call Tommy's friend's mother "Auntie".
Magda is a woman who lives in an apartment on the opposite side of the building, a middle-aged girl, a sexy stunner, and often has trysts with different men. Don't even draw the curtains.
Tommy's best friend talked to him about everything, and he also stumbled upon this little secret, which he told Tommy before he moved in. (As if teenage boys exchanged secrets of yellow books)
Tommy even sneaked into a certain institution late at night and stole a high-powered telescope in order to see more carefully.
From then on, he had a little prank. When Magda came back in the evening, he would call her home and then said nothing. Magda got angry once: "It's you again, you don't speak, I hear you breathing, you scumbag." After hanging up, Tommy called her again and said sincerely. "Sorry" and hang up.
In fact, why did Tommy pay attention to this royal sister? He worked in the post office. In order to see Magda as much as possible, he did not hesitate to forge money orders and let Magda come to the door to withdraw money, but he returned without success. He accidentally heard that the milk station was short of staff, and Magda happened to have ordered milk, so he applied privately to deliver the milk. Even if you have to get up at 5am every morning.
Tommy was so eager to see her and learn more about her, that he even intercepted and opened up Magda's personal letters.
Tommy gradually fell in love with this woman.
He also felt that this woman was ruining himself. One day Tommy watched from a distance when she and her lover were about to have an affair, and immediately called the gas company, falsely claiming that the gas pipe in his "home" was broken, but the valve had been closed, and asked for immediate Door to door processing. But the "home" address is Magda's address.
The gas plumber was so conscientious that he knocked on the door and refused to give up until he went into Magda's kitchen to disassemble the gas hood for inspection. Magda and her lover lost all interest.
Tommy took credit for it, as if he had saved her.
Auntie saw that Tommy got up early every day, and sometimes his behavior was sneaky, but his face was sweet, and she also noticed that he seemed to be in love, so she said with a tactful smile: "Tommy, do you have a lover? In fact, the girl pretends to kiss casually. If you have a lover, you can quietly bring her to the apartment."
Tommy just denied: "I don't have a girlfriend, I don't have a girlfriend." The
aunt didn't know who Tommy was in unrequited love.
One day, Tommy saw that Magda and her lover were arguing fiercely downstairs. She was in such a bad mood, so her life was in chaos. She took out the milk and spilled it on the table. She was bored and dipped her fingers in the milk. crossed out, and cried sadly. Tommy also looked heartbroken.
The next day, Magda received another fake money order and went to the post office to withdraw money. This time, she was told that it was a forged money order. Magda tried to reason with the elders, who thought she wanted to cheat money. There was a heated argument between the two sides.
Filled with guilt, Tommy rushed out to strike up a conversation, then admitted that the money order was forged by himself, and then Magda got angry and wanted to turn away.
"Didn't you cry out loud last night?"
"How did you know?"
"I've been spying on you."
"Go away, go away,"
Tommy turned back to the unit in a dejected tone.
That night, Magda intentionally moved the bed, opened the curtains, and gestured for Tommy to call: "Today will make you happy to peep." Immediately, Magda's lover came. When the two were chatting with each other, Magda pointed to the building opposite and said a few words to her lover.
The lover gets angry, gets dressed, and shouts, "You coward at the post office, come down."
Tommy goes down timidly, and the lover is so angry that Tommy throws a punch. Tommy doesn't want to fight at all, and the lover punches Tommy in the eye socket. Rice fell to the ground.
Later, Tommy still delivered milk to Magda early in the morning. When Magda saw his handsome face being swollen, she felt pity and funny.
"Why are you peeking at me?"
"Because I love you."
"Love me?"
"Yes."
"What do you want? Kiss me? Or go to bed?"
"Nothing."
Tommy turned to leave the apartment , turned around suddenly and said, "I want to invite you to the coffee house and treat you to ice cream."
It seems that Magda agreed, and Tommy dragged the cart and turned around, the sun was shining, he felt so happy that he was dizzy, no Carefully bumped into a man in a white trench coat, apologized and left. The man in the white trench coat just smiled.
When it was time for a date, the two of them had an argument.
Magda believes that love between a man and a woman is just sex, while Tommy insists that there is true love between a man and a woman.
Tommy truthfully explained the forged money orders, intercepted letters, and voyeurism that he had done to him. Magda mentioned that he once fell in love with an artist, but this person went overseas and never came back, he went to Austria and Australia. Tommy took out the letters, but Magda didn't think they would be able to make up for their previous love.
Here Magda points to an older pair of lovers and teaches Tommy how to touch a woman, and Tommy is timid and nervous, his hands trembling and afraid to approach Magda.
Later, the two went to Magda's apartment together.
[Magda takes Tommy back to her room.
She took off her coat and put on her pajamas, just like Tommy had seen her greet her boyfriend in a telescope. She slowly taught Tommy excitement, asking him to imitate her boyfriend's movements. Magda went into the bathroom and came out, squatting in front of Tommy and saying that she was wearing nothing underneath, and that it would get wet when she craved it. Your hands are warm, put them in. Magda put Tommy's hand on the bottom of her thigh, and Tommy's hand couldn't help but start to feel, and when he touched it, he trembled and twitched in his lower body.
"It's over? That's love. Go to the bathroom and wash," Magda said. 】
All of this was just unintentionally seen by Auntie with a telescope.
[Tommy ran home, and in the dark night, he bumped into the man in the white trench coat in front of the apartment again, and hurried back to his room.
Cut the artery in the wrist with a razor blade in the bathroom. Immediately, the ambulance came, and the aunt hurriedly escorted him out in clothes.
That night, Magda went to the door to talk to her aunt,
Magda: "I'm very worried, it seems that I hurt him. I want to go to the hospital to see him."
Aunt: "Don't go, he will come back. Maybe you It would be funny, but he's in love with you."
Auntie showed Tommy's binoculars and alarm clock. The alarm clock was set at 8 p.m. Before the alarm went off, Tommy studied foreign languages; after the alarm went off, Tommy did other things. Homework---Put up binoculars and peek at his goddess.
Auntie: "Isn't he in love with the wrong person? My son is always away from me. I'm getting old and I just need someone to accompany me."
Magda wanted to ask for the phone number of this room.
But the aunt insisted on refusing, "There is no telephone in this room."
Later, while Tommy was recovering, the aunt took care of the milk delivery.
During Tommy's hospitalization, Magda always went to the post office, went to her aunt's house to inquire about Tommy, and even used her binoculars to check whether Tommy in the opposite building was back.
When she came out of the hospital, Magda got another silent phone call from Tommy, saying she was wrong. ]
[Magda goes to the post office to find Tommy, Tommy looks at Magda indifferently: "I don't peek at you anymore."]
Discussion:
Cai: I think this boy is a typical otaku. He has no normal social circle and is not cheerful enough. He's never been in a relationship, and if he's been in love a few times, maybe it won't hurt so much.
So the conclusion is, "There must be a healthy circle." [Everyone laughs]
Me:
If he is cheerful enough, then this drama will be gone.
Y (because there is no good name recorded, temporarily replaced by Y): Cai and I were joking just now, if they both had QQ space and communicated with each other, maybe there would not be so many tragedies.
In fact, this heroine's circle is also small. She longs for love, but uses sex. The focus of life is all on the man, and there is no other sustenance in life. So lonely too.
Boys, his sustenance is in love. The heroine is initially sexually attracted to the boy himself. But voyeurism will have a sense of guilt after all. In order to alleviate this sense of guilt, the name of "love" is needed to make one's feelings for women as less sexual as possible [for example, during their conversation in a cafe, the heroine asked the boy , every time you look at me, do you masturbate? The boy replied, at first, but not anymore]
When the two of them are together, there is indirect contact of the body, and when the elements of the flesh overwhelm the elements of the spirit, there will be a moment of "spiritual disillusionment". So the boy can't accept it, so he cuts his wrists and commits suicide.
What the boy fell in love with was not the heroine herself, but the image he imagined. Maybe he was an orphan who had never lacked motherly love; So the desire for motherly love and sex is mixed and projected onto the heroine.
Me:
You said it very well, in fact, the name of Liu Xiaofeng's film review is "Unplayable Feelings", and what I think of is Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Said" "It can be viewed from a distance but cannot be played with."
The heroine's previous sexual behavior can bring love, but only pleasure. Rollo May said in "Love and Will": "Sex without love can only bring about death-like disillusionment at the moment of climax." Fromm said in "The Art of Love": "People tend to regard this kind of ecstasy, crazy love as a manifestation of intense love, when in fact it just proves how much these men and women used to be. Lonely."
Although the boy's love for young women had the erotic turmoil of adolescence at first, but later it was mostly the love of the soul. In fact, he didn't put all his body and mind on women. He had his own job and set the alarm clock after work. Learn foreign languages before 8 o'clock and watch the heroine after 8 o'clock. Looking at itself, it was his desire to understand the heroine, even stealing letters, and it was the way he desires to understand the heroine.
It can only be said that his life is not only love but also work and study, but in love, the object of his love only loves this woman, and loves too hard.
Wei Wei:
What I paid more attention to myself was that the male protagonist saw the man in white twice. Maybe as a witness.
Me:
You are very observant. Indeed, the first time I saw this man in white was during the day and when I was in a good mood.
The second time was at night, when my dream collapsed, I saw this man in white. These are precisely two contrasts.
Wei Wei:
Actually, the plot development of this movie also corresponds to each other. In the beginning, the boy fell in love with the heroine and loved her wholeheartedly. Later, after the boy’s accident, the heroine began to care about the boy and always inquired about him. The boy believed in true love at first, but after the heroine experienced the vicissitudes of life, he did not believe in true love; after the boy tried to sacrifice for love, the heroine was moved and began to believe in true love, and apologized to the boy on the phone, but the boy later said, "I don't. Peeking at you again." And his face was numb.
Me:
Indeed, at first, the boy peeked at the heroine, and then the heroine began to look at the boy from afar.
Wei Wei:
The film itself is mostly dark, rather heavy and depressing [Indeed, when the photographer was shooting the boy, there was always a spot on his face that was not illuminated]
Y:
In fact, the film itself is very simple and simple, so it can be interpreted with so many theoretical frameworks and personal experiences. Everyone treats love itself, maybe in the first love, the investment in love is the purest and easiest to feel the joy and hurt of love. After experiencing the injury, it will become cynical, just like the attitude of the heroine before (not necessarily her indulgence.) So you can no longer feel the sweetness of pure love.
And the same is true for appreciating literary and artistic works. When I was just exposed to some good novels and movies as a child, I would be moved to tears and would tell people all over the world what works are worth watching. But when you get older and get more and more information, it is difficult to experience such joy again.
Me:
You are right. Lao Tzu also said that "five colors make people blind, galloping in the field and hunting makes people crazy, rare goods make people hampered; five flavors make people happy, and five sounds make people deaf." Too much stimulation can also numb the senses and make it difficult to settle down. So, it's not too late.
First, we use the visual senses of our eyes the most, but use the other senses less often and are less sensitive to other senses. Jiang Xun wrote "Letter to Young Artists", which is a personal communication to his students. It doesn't talk much about artistic techniques, but instead emphasizes how to restore the senses.
People who study art in Paris have the same training, one person drives a motorcycle, one person sits in the back seat, blindfolded, no helmet, to feel the touch of the wind blowing on the face, and then the smell of the places they pass by. For example, the fragrant grass and trees in the countryside, the pungent exhaust gas in the city, the fermented odor of the swill bucket, etc., if the motorcycle is driving fast and you are blindfolded, whether you can accurately feel the changes of the venue by the smell, you need to concentrate on it. .
Then how to prevent some preconceived notions from obscuring one's sensibility? This requires practice. For example, when meditating, focusing only on breathing and counting cycles, when death is approaching, people who are wealthy can only control the breathing itself. Breathing may seem normal, but it is the most important life activity. Meditating itself allows you to focus on your breathing, and also to let go of your daily troubles, so that you can leave a clear consciousness. Including Steve Jobs also went to India to practice, and after returning to China, he often communicated with a Zen master of the Caodong sect.
The practice in the classical era also includes every aspect of life, which is to infuse one's life with a kind of self-discipline. This kind of self-discipline is no longer a constraint, but a focus on doing everything well without distraction.
Y:
I think that if you go deep into the play, you will be hurt, but if you don't go deep into the play, you won't be able to appreciate the beauty. How to grasp this measure.
[I originally wanted to quote Gibran's "The Call of Love", Gibran said: "But if you only want to seek the peace and happiness of love in fear, then you better cover up your true self and avoid the test of love, Enter a world of no season. There you will laugh, but not laugh, and you will cry, but not with all your might." Of course, if you can't afford it, don't try. The joy in life is not only in love. 】
Me:
Wang Guowei once said that it is inside and outside. Then Jiang Xun's interpretation of "The Book of Songs • Rogue" also mentioned that the surging emotions in the heart are the source of all literary and artistic creations.
In some ethnic minority areas, Guizhou, Shaanxi, and Guilin have always been popular in singing folk songs to select relatives. The selection criteria is not based on assets, but on vitality itself.
To sing a folk song well, you may not learn to be rich in five chariots. You need a strong body to make a high-pitched and moving tone and spread it to the other side of the river. You need to be flexible to think of beautiful metaphors and match-ups.
With such vitality and good form, good works will surely emerge. If any work loses such surging vitality, the spirit is actually taken away.
When we are young, it is easy to cry or laugh about some things, and it is easy to express opinions on some unreasonable things. But when I am an adult, I will become cynic again and again---ah, the world is so bad, there is no love, only love... After such a mentality becomes a habit, we will again and again for things that can touch our inner emotions If you become numb and do not reflect frequently, it will be difficult to be moved by simple things in the end, but need strong stimulation, such as pornography, murder and so on.
Therefore, if you can maintain a lot of sharpness and passion, even at the age of 80, your heart is still young, and you can still cry and laugh. [Of course, if you keep it like this all the time, people will be very tired - the so-called love is not long. However, to completely obliterate these emotions will actually become a walking dead. ]
