Cruz plays Consuela, a college girl with a beautiful appearance, a hot body, an elusive personality, and a sharp, but somewhat immature, female college student. In the face of the rich sexual history of male pig's feet, he exaggerated his sexual experience.
Kingsley plays David, a college professor and a dirty old man. He himself knew exactly what he wanted from her, what he could give her, how to get what he wanted, and how her family and friends would view him and their relationship if he was with a female college student .
The story goes like this, it seems like a routine after every semester for male pig-footed David to seduce female college students with his mature charm, and this time he meets Consuela (Cruz). He was so obsessed with her appearance and body that this man who didn't want to be tied down and declared that marriage was the most rubbish institution showed a strong possessiveness.
David is indeed a New York elite, commenting on literary works on radio and television all day long, teaching others how to evaluate works of art, how to look at life and history, but in his own life, he left his ex-wife and son for freedom. Without a bit of emotional guilt, he had an emotionless sexual relationship with one of his students for 20 years, and while he was reluctant to lose her now 30-year-old girl, he was worried that the age gap would eventually It will cause her to leave herself, and the cowardly has been avoiding and integrating into her circle. At the end of the film, the female pig's feet cut off her breasts because of cancer, worrying that no man would love her again. The male pig's feet finally overcame the inferiority complex in terms of age and came together with her.
The film uses a lot of dialogue between the male pig's feet and his close friend, a romantic poet, to explore some thoughts on life, love, and sex.
Can older men of their age make themselves feel younger by finding a nice girl.
How to clearly distinguish between love and sexual needs.
Regarding the relationship between possessiveness and love, there is a classic metaphor:
one night, the male pig's feet was worried that he could not have her forever, and felt a little lost.
The female pig's feet pointed out sharply that the male pig's feet was worried that she would find a younger handsome guy, but she was just jealous, just like a child with toys, a child will also have a strong possessiveness, but when he has a new toy throw away the old one. It doesn't mean he really loves her. He was silent when he heard this.
The values ultimately expressed in the film are worth pondering.
What is the attraction between a man and a woman? How intense is (can) be? What is the difference between love and marriage?
In the film, the male pig's foot is obsessed with the face and body of a woman. This extreme infatuation makes him rekindle his strong possessiveness after experiencing a 50+ relationship. In contrast, the female pig's foot is neither cold nor disgusted by the appearance and figure of the old man, but is fascinated by his connotation. The most repeated sentence of the female pig's foot is "You know a lot / Your opinion is really Rich".
There is a hint of patriarchal taste in this view. And now BMW girls and rotten girls are in power, girls like Consuela are simply dinosaurs. just kidding.
This poignant story expresses human vulnerability and longing for love when dealing with emotions. After watching this movie, I just want to tell myself that I must overcome my cowardice, don't let go when you meet someone you love, and never lose morality and responsibility in the flowery world.
