At the moment of the epidemic, this classic novel, which was rated as "The Encyclopedia of Love", became popular in major online media, so I followed the trend. I'm ashamed that I don't have the patience and time to read the original electronic book, so I can only absorb it quickly and wholeheartedly through the movie.
The movie seems to tell the story of a stubborn neurotic who, in order to realize his dream, fought against the world and time all his life, and finally got his wish in his later years. The text of the novel should be more able to appreciate the greatness of this love story, and the movie remake of the famous book will always be so much worse.
I didn't realize I'd seen this movie until I saw an old, shivering Ariza doggystyle with a young secretary. Because the postures and expressions of the two people were too uncoordinated during the process, the pictures were too hot for the eyes, so I was so impressed.
When she was young, Ariza was innocent, romantic and passionate. She would write uneasy love letters day and night. She would hide in her mother's arms and cry like a child because Fermina didn't reply. She would climb into the garden in the middle of the night and stand on the floor Play the violin at the bottom and make a rash proposal. And this enthusiasm was quenched by Fermina's refusal when they met in a long-distance relationship for two years.
After that, Javier Bardem was replaced in the movie to play the middle-aged and old ariza. The middle-aged story is very short, and the film more shows the old ariza. He was faltering, submissive, dull and gloomy, with a chaotic private life, as if he had died with Fermina's marriage. The movie camera can better reflect this through his movements and expressions when he flips over the bodies of 622 women. The process of his love is dull and tasteless, which makes the audience feel his unhappiness.
But he also revealed bizarre stubbornness, such as his insistence on writing work emails like romantic love letters. It is because he has such a personality that audiences can understand that he can wait 53 years.
When she heard the church bell and guessed that Fermina's husband had died, Ariza seemed to be a different person, and immediately regained her energy. She left the young girl's plump body, regained her youthful recklessness, and couldn't wait to run. I confessed at Fermina's husband's funeral. Because he had waited for too long for this day, he finally had another chance.
It is precisely because of his actions at this moment that I was moved by the waiting and believed that as Ariza said, although they are old, he has not changed, and he has always maintained a childlike heart for her.
I always thought that because Fermina was the first love that Ariza could not ask for, it became the cinnabar mole on his chest, haunting the white moonlight in front of the window, which made him feel beautiful and heartache from afar, so it will make him forever. miss. He thinks that he is hypocritical and that all his affection is just wrapping himself up and touching himself, which is the high-sounding reason for him to keep changing women and living a lewd life.
But just imagine, who in reality gave up the entire forest for a lover and never got married? Even if Ariza, like the men in the world, will get tired of conquering women one day, so what? After all, he has spent all his life on Fermina. After all, he is already in his old age. can't get up...
