She is really a Spanish woman with the courage, passion and sunshine unique to Mediterranean people. She has read all his books and became his most loyal follower. Every word of him grabbed her heart. She sang his words again into a song: A ray of sunlight, a ray of sunlight, shining directly into my heart, bringing your love to me...
She loves him, and has fallen in love with him before meeting him, so she finally mustered up the courage to hope Live with him and believe that he will fall in love with himself in the days to come. So direct, confident, clear and enthusiastic. At that moment, he was sure that he had fallen in love with the woman in front of him.
With a secret that cannot be redeemed, he jumped from the window sill and decided to flee. She came to the island he mentioned by herself, by the sea, and she suddenly realized that his departure was real. The irresistible pain caused her to walk back and forth on the beach, shaking and saying to herself non-stop: No, don’t go swimming, I’m alone, alone, alone in the sun, and I can live alone. Go down... her eyes are stubborn and strong, this is a woman who can live as long as there is sunshine.
You will rot in your hole forever. ——Laurence.
He is a man living in a cave, kind, gentle, silent, sensitive, rich in heart and clumsy in words, knowing how to follow the guidance of his heart to glow with passion, but also has hopeless cowardice. (Hey, I really don't like cowardly men.)
His dreams began on an island six years ago. On the night of the full moon, he had a superb sex at sea with a woman he had never known before. Since then, each has its own lives. His secret starts from knowing that he has a daughter. At first, he spied from a distance, with a little joy in silence, and it was difficult to approach him with restraint. However, he once again caused his daughter Xiaoyue to die by the mouth of a mad dog in the face of the temptation of the little nanny's primitive sexual desires.
He couldn't tell, so he had to write everything as a novel, but he couldn't find a way of salvation in the novel. Lucia read his words and sentences on the computer in the dark night, and was also addicted to it, but was not sure that it was his real experience. This dark corner is a place out of sunlight. She can only let him rot with struggle and guilt.
I just want to forget everything and only believe what I want to believe, so that life can continue. ——Elena.
She is also a woman living in a tree hole. Her bravery is to lead her daughter Xiaoyue to live a beautiful life, and optimistically believe that her daughter will help herself find him in the vast sea of people. After the accidental death of her daughter, the little nanny left with guilt. She returned to the island where she met, still cooking the best Spanish paella, opening a seaside hotel with white walls and blue windows, and living with a smile. But there is no love, only memories. The memory of him, the memory of my daughter, is like a sentence I once wrote: Pain, pain is not painful, joy, joy is not enough to be lingering.
If it weren't for Lucia's arrival, all the secrets would not be revealed. Lucia gets the truth about the loss of love, and Elena gets the truth about the death of her daughter. Everyone is swayed by fate, and the closer you are to reality, the more dizzy you will be. Like this small island floating on the sea, every time the tide rises, the body will always feel a little shake. It is a kind of dizziness when happiness is at its extreme, and it is also a kind of dizziness when grief is at its extreme.
Life has always led us to believe that fate is something we can’t avoid even if we try our best. There are too many original sins in life, you can choose to forget them, but you can't escape. Only by facing it can we coexist with it. Whether it is weeping or smiling, pain or happiness, if we can't calmly face each other, the sun will never be able to bring love into our hearts.
This story has many advantages, the biggest advantage is that it has no ending, its ending is a hole, you will fall, and then return to the middle to start again...-Director Julio.
Fate is a cycle. As the director said: In fact, the three of them are trying their best to escape from the same misfortune from beginning to end, but they don't know it themselves.
Later, I remembered Wong Kar-wai's dialogue in [Happy Together]: How about we start again.... It is also full of such helpless and simple hope. I also remembered Lola in [Lola Run], who kept running in the hope of changing the ending. It seems that all the wishes in life only hope that we can get rid of imperfections, and then we can live more fulfilled. However, the people or things we meet in the journey of life are like the subtle details that are involved in fate, constantly entwining the wheel of fortune in a secret or bright way, gradually changing the original direction and path. And what kind of road is correct and beautiful? You can only get the happiness you want by walking bravely and firmly after seeing through fate like Lucia.
I love Lucia. Love it very much. This is the only person in the movie who has no secrets and is full of sunshine. To love is firm, persistent, uncomfortable, and brave. When Laurence recovered and pursued the island, the love they sought was finally fulfilled. If its ending is a hole that can bring the story back to the beauty in the middle, then Lucia is to make the story a radius of perfection.
Many people regret that the movie did not end in tragedy. But I feel perfect for this unending ending. The love scenes are more and more delicate than imagined. However, European erotic films are always of a much higher standard than Hollywood erotic films. Perhaps the detailed stories are extended well, so that many sex scenes appear very mature, warm, ambiguous and romantic.
The way of telling a story is easy to understand if you focus on watching it. However, it takes a little imagination and essential love to see through the entanglement after fate.
