"On Chelsea Beach"
It seems that it was because the sexual liberation movement had not yet started in that year (after all, the story of my birth, 1975). Humans are either savage and beast-like, or they are secretive, and when they grow up, they find it hard to tell them. So two good young people, one is a first-class student in history, and the other is a violin player. The two are very tacit, and very in love. But because the newlyweds screwed up. In fact, the smashing is not complicated, that is, the lack of foreplay. Then the man was slightly injured and the woman felt ashamed and ran to Chelsea Beach. There, they actually had a showdown. The woman also absurdly proposed to maintain a sexless marriage in the future, and even allowed the man to make trouble outside in the future. The man thinks it is an insult to himself. So the two divorced.
As a result, both have their own families and lives, and the woman later gave birth to a child.
So, the movie seems to be criticizing "sexual restraint". Indeed, not enough sex education is the problem. However, the two are literate after all, and the woman even looked for popular science books to read before marriage, but she was still frightened. While arguing, the term "sexual frigidity" came out of the man's mouth. In other words, they are not lacking in theory, so I think the real problem is "just because of youth". They can't calm down, and all at once take a decisive approach to the one they once loved. In particular, as bystanders, even those who transcend time and space, we can think of that, as long as the young man promised the woman at that time, it would be fine to go back to the hotel together holding hands. So, I don't think sex itself is the point.
Of course, we can also contact the problem of the woman's father, because he runs a business, and he doesn't like his son-in-law who can win his tennis (at first the woman explained that her boyfriend let it go, but his humiliation to the future son-in-law, Let the lad win him without restraint). Also had the son-in-law work for him in a utility room (not even a table). But these are not problems, after all, the woman has been very successful in making the man's mother normal (his mother is often naked and graffiti because the train scratched her brain. The woman not only gently helped her dress, but also brought her a picture The photos of the oil painting, let her draw a normal painting).
Of course, from the perspective of the structure and layout of the film, it is still exquisite. This is the way the movie is, like "The Ferryman", Wong Kar-wai fell in love with this story, but the original book caters to Wong Kar-wai's style, and the adapted movie splits a wonderful plot (for the sake of love without getting drunk) into seven spells. Eight together, a messy story. This movie was originally a short story, the story the protagonist of the movie told his friends at the end. But how does such a story turn into a movie? Therefore, the film inserts the families of both parties, focusing on the love history of the two, allowing us to see how perfect a couple they were originally, and even emphasizing that they have a lot of intimate behavior, but not to the key parts. And put that with the most important day of their lives, the first day of their honeymoon, and the climax of the argument on Chelsea Beach after failing in bed. The final arrangement was also quite clever. The man saw a little girl buying a gift for her mother's birthday, so he gave her the record. Because he guessed it was her. Finally, in his later years, the man went to listen to the woman's concert, and then the two saw each other and burst into tears. This approach is more mature. But after all, this is a tragedy, and the plot is not too turbulent, so it is still boring, and it is estimated that it is still a niche film. 18.11.2
