"Seven Years Itch", on Sunday morning, my son went to the gym again. I watched it at home. It was broadcast on Shandong TV Channel. The opening has begun again. A middle-aged man, middle class, neighbor has an advertising actor who resembles Marilyn Monroe, and seems to like him, so he has a lot of monologues in his heart.
These monologues are not as turbulent as Shakespeare's drama characters, but are meaningful, hilarious and so credible, psychological activities. His thoughts changed quickly, taking all kinds of exaggerated scenarios one by one as reality, self-justification, fear, worry, random thinking, and exaggerating a small setback into the end of the world-what do we Chinese call adultery?
The typical middle-aged home man’s passion with his wife has been burned away, but his possessiveness is still strong. He is eager and uneasy about the temptations of the outside world. These temptations come to the home unbelievably and are dramatic and irrational. ( Monroe took a shower in his bathroom—it was completely true, and he was brewing coffee in the kitchen at this moment, and outsiders came in), but the protagonist did not lose his rationality in the end, she was still a Monroe-like female neighbor on the window sill. With a wave of his hand, he embarked on a journey to send oars to the children out of town. After all, the director was honest, and the honest man suppressed himself after all.
The family ethics of (some) people in the United States is so conservative and unimaginable. The background of the film is in the 1960s and 1970s-the most open period of sexuality. It seems that in any society, there are people who follow tradition.
The highlight of the film lies in the portrayal of the characters' hearts. The shots are accompanied by the characters' imaginations, so they are not as boring as in a stage play. Those mental activities were mean and caring, and the little gray people were struggling with their own hearts, which was their biggest stage at that time.
