Like a river of love, love falls into a river

When I first saw this film, I felt very heavy, typical Japanese society, typical literary film, and even some typical third-level film. The beginning of the film is about the female student Akiko engaged in aided dating because of pressure in the bustling and dark city of Tokyo. Well, it is very erotic at the beginning. But what I want to say is that this film perfectly separates the words erotic and erotic in terms of editing and content, whichever is erotic and discards the erotic, and the vulgar topic forced me to see a sense of elegance. In today's society, it is common for a famous and rich old man to find a young girl, but in this movie, an elderly college professor is looking for a female student for assistance, not for sex, but to get back the kind of love he had with his deceased wife. Feeling, or want to take care of her as an emotional sustenance, in order to ease his loneliness. It can be seen from the many details in the movie. For example, when Akiko first came to the professor's house, she chatted for a while, and made two dirty jokes to ease the embarrassment, and then took off her clothes and went to bed. However, the professor repeatedly hoped that she could have a candlelight dinner with him, and prepared soup from her hometown for her. Obviously, she had seen her photos and documents in advance at the bar owner she knew. But Mingzi didn't want to have too much with him, so he shied away and didn't like to eat since he was a child. Obviously, he just treated him as an ordinary guest and wanted to finish things early and go to bed. But the professor sighed and did not go to bed with her. During the day, she sent her to school again, and met her boyfriend Ji Ming. Ji Ming regarded him as Mingzi's grandfather, and the professor followed suit and discouraged him from wanting to marry in the way of an elder. But in the end, the paper could not contain the fire. When Mingzi and her boyfriend were talking to each other, Ji Ming did not know how to know the truth of the matter and called Mingzi. Mingzi immediately called the professor, and the professor was very anxious to send her to his house. , and then went to buy good medicine, presumably on the one hand, distressed, on the other hand, because this happened, Mingzi was moved to find him for the first time. Just when he was about to take the medicine, his boyfriend came to the door, the professor would not open it, and then observed by the bedside, but unexpectedly, the boyfriend smashed the glass with a brick, and the professor fell down, but Mingzi was just worried about himself, but didn't care about the professor. That loud noise shattered not only the glass, but I believe it also shattered the professor's dream of renewing love.

    Surprisingly good! It is very successful as a narrative text, full of modernity, but at the same time it is a questioning of the ambiguous boundaries and moral order of modern ethics, and I think it is also appropriate to set the background in Japan, a place full of contradictions. The front-end of sex is at the same time unexpectedly conventional. Three confined spaces: bar, house, car, three sets of logic, collide with each other and are independent, make sense and make sense. Ambiguity itself is a manifestation of rupture. If it is placed in China, it must be completely inappropriate...

    Lost in Translation is essentially an American movie, but Abbas's one seems to be more adept than most native Japanese films. The emotion that this film focuses on is very strange. He actually focuses on some lonely people like you and me in big cities, but these lonely people are not absolutely lonely, they are also caring, but this concern Whether it's from family, friendship or love, it's a bit of a different time, and this kind of "not born at the right time" seems to be "like a river of love", but it's actually like sitting on needles, which will make people feel a little impatient. The encounter is actually a process of two-way escape. Although they had an awkward night, when the heroine was asleep and the hero unplugged the phone line, it seemed that the whole world was quiet; the ending part is Abbas's usual bad taste, the anger from the outside ignited these two empty bundles of hay, teaching people to suffocate more, but at the same time there is nowhere to escape, it can be said to be full of stamina.
