After meeting Mimi for the first time, he couldn't sleep and it was even harder to write again. So I continued the expectation of the encounter on the 96 bus, but unfortunately it did not happen.
Before and after this, he said that he loves the city of Paris. This reminds me of Harry in "Snow of Kilimanjaro" who said a similar sentence: "The first book I wrote is called "My Beloved Paris"". The city of Paris is like a writer. Heaven, because there are many romantic encounters and memories.
But the good beginning of all this is so careless for this long but cruel story. Perhaps this is at best a beautiful starting point for a cruel ending.
After accidentally meeting Mimi again in a coffee shop, Oscar never let go of this opportunity again, and the two went on a date soon. Then the love became fierce, immersed in sensuality, unable to extricate himself, fascinated by the other party's body above all else, unable to separate.
This kind of love will finally slowly become cold, just like most real stories or works of art.
On the plane, there was a crescent moon outside the window. In the clouds and mist, deserted and lonely. Oscar never wanted to touch Mimi anymore, instead, after freeing her from her, Oscar frantically made up for the fun he thought he had lost.
It's hard to imagine Oscar repeating these past events in that calm tone over and over again.
The recollected story eventually turned into torture between two people.
Although they both love each other, they inevitably have to torture each other. At first, Oscar's grievance with Mimi, and then Mimi took revenge on Oscar, who was paralyzed in a wheelchair in the second half of his life. The two people's torture did not pay off. Any result-in addition to the double proof, I still love each other.
No matter how crazy the love is, there is a time when it calms down. In the end, Oscar swallows a gun and commits suicide because Mimi has been shot to death by her. There is no end to the sinking of sensuality.
Some people describe Roman Polanski as too sinful. Because he always likes to show the dark and painful side, "Bitter Moon" can be summed up as: love is mutual torture-with the ardor of abuse and abuse, the desire to sink without rest and the physical infatuation.
The idea of this story is indeed peculiar, and in addition to its surprise, it is not surprising. In contrast, the painful life of director Roman Polanski: his father, mother, and uncle were arrested in a Nazi concentration camp during his childhood; his pregnant mother died tragically in the gas chamber; he was lucky enough to get his life back in the walls of the concentration camp; he became famous. Later, he went to the United States to develop and his wife who was 8 months pregnant was killed; he wandered into Europe and had little gain; returned to the United States and was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl and had to flee the United States. Step into American territory again.
Roman Polanski said: Maybe I like the shadows in movies, but the shadows in life are not. Thinking about it this way, this story is natural again.
