To my great and glorious sin

I was sent to hell by the rainbow in the sky, happiness was my calamity, my confession and my maggot: my life is so vast that it will not be devoted to strength and beauty alone. - Arthur Rimbaud, "Season of Hell: The Alchemy of Words"

I dare not say that this is Li Zi's best movie, but both in terms of prosperous beauty and acting skills, it completely blows Titanic.

This is a film with explosive power, vitality and destructive power. Rimbaud, the angel, the devil, and the original sin. The total eclipse of the heart is the loss of Verlaine's heart, and it is the beginning, blooming, and engulfing of Rimbaud's vitality and ideals.

The way of words is the way of magic, Rimbaud realized all his dreams, but unfortunately in the way he most despised. go on, go on. This intention, in the form of a dream, represents Rimbaud's lifelong pursuit. eternal. It's the sun and the sea

A film reviewer is right. The narrative style of this film is nothing new. The reason why it is good is because the plot itself is full of tension, but the most successful one is to find Leo to play Rimbaud. In the play, Leo is Rimbaud, the talented Rimbaud who is unrestrained and unrestrained. I was completely shocked, why there is such an existence in the world, his existence is like a salute to life, and it is the biggest irony of secular conventions. In the scene of the poetry party, his boots stepped on the long table, kicked over the wine glasses and ran rampantly, as if he was stepping on the fantasy of mediocre poets, powerful, crazy and sharp. When Dongfang expresses such characters, he is accustomed to use red clothes to set off the beauty of standing out from the crowd. But this play has Leo, so despite the dark tones and the black, white and gray clothing, coupled with that stunning face and arrogant eyes, it will only make people sigh that this is the beauty and talent bestowed by God. He had a fantastic time with Verlaine, even though the dream was based on the misfortune of Verlaine's wife. He said, I want sun. They ran wildly side by side through the meadow, the reeds, the pasture, the sea, and the rising sun. He is the result of the vitality and beauty of the world, of which he belongs, and of which he is part. It was also when I was watching this part that I was shocked by Leo's acting skills. Sometimes young people can only be played by young people, because that kind of youth and vigor cannot be replicated. The burning look in his eyes, the desire to conquer the world and usher in a new era, and the confidence that he can change everything, are the qualities of a young man who is easily obliterated and incomparably precious. Seeing Leo running wildly and rushing to the back of the sea, it seems that he can see Rimbaud swimming in his inner world, so comfortable and free, seeing nature and the world with his eyes, everything is magnificent and profound, enough Stimulate the poet's creative potential. Feiyang jumped off, Feiyang jumped off, Leo played Rimbaud alive. The burst of vitality is really dizzying. I can only stand in the same place stupidly, watching the genius wave his arms, but I can be infected with his joy and feel the power of Aphrodite. But I really hate it, hate the inability of good things, hate the fall of geniuses, run out of talent, grow old, hate desire and the world, and he has really become the person he once despised the most. But it is precisely because of this that he became a businessman. He went wandering, read all kinds of things in the world, and finally followed the camel bell. After spending ten years in Africa, he had seen too many beautiful scenery before he could write a magnificent poem like "Drunken Boat". . What you hate is what makes you in the end. The article hates life.

In his short life, his emotional appeal never seemed to be satisfied. Although the love with Verlaine comes from the heart, it is more like a plant absorbing nutrients. As Verlaine said, he didn't care whether Rimbaud was happy or not. He wanted to have fun more in time, and he wanted to be rich and not to suffer, and this love affair was an experience for him, an indulgence, even though he paid too much for it.

It's a pity that the genius looked back for a moment, and the fool stopped for a lifetime. Verlaine, who abandoned his wife and children, endured Rimbaud's taunts, suffered humiliating approvals, and was even thrown into prison for Rimbaud's deviance. He was rejected after being released from prison. lifetime. My great and radiant sin. At the end of the story, the very old Verlaine was sitting in the bar when he first met Rimbaud decades ago, with two glasses of absinthe, and in a trance, there seemed to be a young man sitting across from him, looking forward to flying, stunning. Allure, he lazily took a sip of the melt glass, the legendary third eye of the poet, then looked up at Verlaine, and he said, "So am I."

Total Eclipse quotes

  • [first lines]

    Paul Verlaine: Sometimes he speaks in a kind of tender dialect of the death which causes repentence, of the unhappy men who certainly exist, of painful tasks and heartrending departures. In the hovels where we got drunk he wept looking at those who surrounded us, the cattle of poverty. He lifted up drunks in the black streets. He had the pity a bad mother has for small children. He moved with the grace of a little girl at catechism. He pretended to know about everything, business, art, medicine. I followed him, I had to!

    Arthur Rimbaud: I've found it. What? Eternity. It's the sun mingled with the sea.
