The title of the movie is - Elegy.
The movie doesn't quite express the sexual obsession of the book - even though I haven't read the book. And not only the expression of indulgent sexual desire, more expressions are also superficially hidden in some shots.
Why are you afraid of aging?
I am afraid of aging, for only one thing: that aging will rob me of the beauty of my body, leaving me mercilessly a flabby, wrinkled body. So I can't get more love through my body - not just love from human beings, but love from food, from all kinds of love from nature.
The male protagonist who is over sixty years old is afraid of aging, just because he is afraid that he will no longer be able to enjoy sexual desire.
However, it was at this time that he met the woman in his life who could most indulge him in his sexuality—perhaps it was precisely because he was worried that the right to enjoy sexuality would be taken away that he was more addicted to this woman. However, this woman—whether Consula in the play or Cruz in real life, is already the embodiment of sexual desire in my opinion, and she can be the most addicted woman in the hero’s life.
But as the most obsessed woman in the hero's life, he did nothing to her: he couldn't be with her for a little more time. Not just because his life was heading towards death, getting closer. And it wasn't just because he was afraid that she was too young and would always be taken away by young boys who would leave him one day. Otherwise, why would he still be able to take time to continue with his ex-girlfriend while he is with her?
Or, he had to do the same to her. He never wanted to be a slave to marriage all his life, and he had experienced too many feelings, but none of them were as strong as this one, so that he was completely overwhelmed.
Her cancer made me think they could finally be on the same starting line - running towards death together, and the hero no longer has to worry about her being taken away by young boys. But her cancer first took her breasts from the surgery - she asked him: if I didn't have breasts, would you still like my body?
I like the last shot the most. She lay in the hospital bed, her breastless body made a sound: I was afraid. He surrounds her with his arms: I am here.
