The movie is as famous as the novel, but the fame is due to the actors, and most audiences go to see this famous movie for bjorn andresen. It is said that it is an adaptation of a famous novel, but it really has the characteristics of adapted movies: dull. I still remember when I watched "The Spider's Nest" (adapted from Macbeth) a year ago, the curtains were drawn, and in the classroom that covered the sky, I fell asleep and woke up, woke up and fell down to sleep, and I slept very uncomfortable. Then depressed to find that the movie is not over yet. This soul-breaking Venice, if it is not supported by music, is suffocated with emotion.
Feuerbach said that music is the embodiment of emotion, and emotion can only be understood by emotion.
At the end of the film, the composer in the film dies alone on the coast of Venice. The pretty boy he liked didn't even know his name. Just like some of our secret crushes when we were young, looking at that person from a distance, we can’t help but look at others more often, sometimes even to the point where our minds revolve around him all the time, but even so, I’m ashamed to let others Knowing this, I dare not even tell my best friend. Gradually, as people grow up, this kind of feeling will become sentimental and wistful, and even pain will slowly begin to disappear, which is for maturity. Sometimes I can't help laughing when I think of who and whom in the fifth-grade class are paired with each other. This is not the case with Aschenbach in the movie, he never matured. He had a serious obsession with the teenager, and would stay in Venice for this, affecting his career and changing his path, until he died of an incurable disease, but his sweetheart never knew about it.
After watching this movie, my heart is a little cold. Critics regard this person's psychological dependence on the beautiful boy as a yearning for beauty, and such psychological sustenance at any cost is almost self-harm.
Before reading Zweig's "Letter from a Strange Woman" I deeply questioned the authenticity of the story. This woman still has fresh memories of her one-night stand from decades ago, spending the rest of her life in lovesickness. I still remember someone commenting: she directed a huge performance art with her whole life. Such infatuated female characters appear from time to time in the novel, such as Zhang Jie's "Love Is Unforgettable" and Li Bihua's Rouge Buckle. The teacher in the middle school Chinese class said that Hong Shi was not favored by the emperor and "died from depression", which I couldn't believe. Perhaps only in novels and in antiquity there is such a thing. Novels describe strange people and strange things, and many literati and women are often attached to such women. The ancient people were relatively closed, the social contact was not wide, and various unexpected situations occurred from time to time... In today's society of fast food and utilitarianism, everyone always hopes and appreciates this kind of innocent bitterness. However, this seemingly classical behavior is, after all, a pathological condition. When others listen to such stories, they seem to be intoxicated and addicted, but this is at the cost of the suffering of the parties involved. People say that love is a person's business, I love you, it has nothing to do with you, but no one wants to say this.
