Ecce Homo

When I was watching Holy Motors, I couldn't concentrate. The protagonist changed his clothes and changed his face even in the game. It should be slanted and wonderful, but I must have missed something. Later, Laurence Anyways, suddenly felt that it was a stable narrative. Still remember the hero Lawrence and his girlfriend after the madness and dizziness of the psychedelic party, hiding in the back alley full of curtains and clothes. Erotica is not, I would probably call it intimate sweetness.

In fact, the male protagonist longs to be a woman. He writes, teaches, and when he sees the gentle gestures of female students in class, he just summons the elf in his heart. Start makeup and wear a skirt. We have encountered it in our daily life. A little ambiguous, a little charming, are unique. Lawrence walked through the hallway of the campus in women's clothing, surprised by the students staring directly at the lockers. Leave it alone.

You know the scene is set in the 80's to 90's. The school hinted at the (suddenly appearing) parent group's opinions, Chen Shu scolded, and Lawrence couldn't tell them, got up, and wrote "Ecce Homo" in Latin on the blackboard. You remember this is the title of Nietzsche's book. If you remember the biblical story of Jesus being whipped and showing the crowd, Pilate said that. "Look, this man" is almost what it means. The theme enters the straight road, and after all, it still walks on the emotional line. Lawrence asked his mother, "Do you still love me?" At first, his nearly broken girlfriend was determined to get through the difficulties with Lawrence. He could be a lover or a sister, but he couldn't stand it, thinking that if he met a new partner resolutely, it would be over. . Lawrence knew that his girlfriend was leaving, and he was very disappointed. men and women. female/female. female/male. Who can't forget who. who can't let go. Several times of involvement, hurt each other for ten years.

I don't particularly like the harsh shots in the movie. But if, look, this Lawrence, it is real that he disguised himself as a daughter, and it is also real that he continues to make love with women with the body of a man, the line that was once blurred turns out to be extraordinarily clear. And I think the most three-dimensional Lawrence is in the school cafeteria, wearing a short skirt with heavy makeup and a shallow, contented smile floating on the corner of his mouth, as if no one else was there.
