There has always been a certain "post-modernity" preference in the form of watching movies:
recently someone strongly recommended the Spanish erotica "Sex and Lucia" to belong to this type. The structure is scattered, time and space are transformed, the story in the story, the blur of fantasy and reality.
Two women,
Lucia, the director made no secret of her admiration. Her bold and unrestrained, strong and kind-hearted, and her beautiful and sexy carcass exudes a dazzling light under the lens.
At the bar, she said to the man who was talking for the first time: I know you, I read your book... I used to follow you... I decided, I want to be with you. Not because you are alone, but because I am madly in love with you... the
man said; you are so brave.
I like her little shyness when she confessed, both shy and innocent. Of course, the more important thing that can make the lightning of love hit a man's heart instantly, I believe it is the unsuspecting look in her eyes at the time. (The man has the expression of being struck by thunder three times. The first time he faced the confession of the stranger Lucia). Throughout the film, the lens often left Lucia's face close-up, whether in bright sunshine or covered by dark clouds, her eyes and her slightly raised eyebrows always let me see the strong beauty of this girl. .
Perhaps the only time I was vulnerable was in a restaurant on that small island. The island is the island in the memories of men. After mistakenly thinking that he was killed in a car accident, Lucia ran to this deserted island alone. In the restaurant, she said that she wanted a paella, and the waiter told her that paella was not sold as a single serving. At that moment, the strong barrier in her heart collapsed instantly. She couldn't help but burst into tears, and hurriedly escaped from the right restaurant. She strode on the beach, walking back and forth, and muttered to herself: "I am alone, alone in the sun. No, I don’t know how to swim. I just stay in the sun. I’m alone and alone. In the sun..." It makes people feel distressed.
Lucia loves purely, passionately, but still drifts away from the man's past. I used to expect her to come closer, to come closer, to walk into that man's spiritual world, to explore the wounds of those past events, and to expect her to redeem this man with love, at an earlier time. Unfortunately, the tightness of the soul can't keep up with the fusion of the flesh.
Elena, the mermaid under the silver moonlight, a person who suddenly ran into the present from the past, bearing the mark of the moon; a love story, a mother. Yes, a mother, a mother who has no love, and finally lost her daughter. My preference for her, when you think about it, is that one woman loves another woman.
I like her self-satisfaction and her calmness. Some people say that she is not calm, she took her daughter to find the child's father, and did not return to the island until her daughter died. I still feel that she is full of a gentle aura, even looking so carelessly. Relying on two clues: the man's birthday and Madrid, Elena wanders this strange city with her daughter like a sleepwalker, looking for false images of love and looking for the child's father. Sometimes I would like to believe that she had loved him. If she had not loved him, how many women would be willing to give birth to a daughter for a man who doesn't even know her name for a one-night stand. It's just that love is far away and abstract; love a romantic memory; love a child's father.
The daughter died. An accident was also an accident indirectly caused by the child's father and the babysitter. This was the climax of the tragedy. But I still have to thank Medem for his kindness, and used a lot of symbolism to express this death, which weakened the despair and cruelty.
The mother who lost her child returned to the island, to the beginning of her destiny. She said she didn't cry, she couldn't cry; she said she didn't want to think about it, so she came back here, swim in the sea, try to get close to her. She said to the phone, "Cry, cry, and I will be better when you cry, cry, she will hear you, and she will give you a kiss from the sea. It was the two of us who gave you." She kissed the handset, and on the other end of the phone was the little nanny who had attempted suicide. The sea breeze blew over her smiling and haggard face like this... At
that moment, I knew that in her heart, she had lost all the so-called "meaning". Although she is still kind and gentle.
She has every reason to cry, she has every reason to be full of resentment, and she has every reason to behave more sadly than the hero and heroine. But she didn't do anything, she was still the hostess of the hotel smiling and cooking. Even after she learned that Lucia's lover was the man who had been in love with her 6 years ago, and was the father of her child, she was just dizzy, then crawled back to the bed and hugged her knees. I thought she was about to cry, but her eyes widened blankly. She said that she would not cry anymore.
Day after day, she just takes care of the guests, cooks for them, occasionally, and hangs on the Internet all day... She said that men do nothing to her, it is her life.
Finally, the man who was of great significance in her life finally appeared again. The man staggered towards her, said sorry, hugged her and wept bitterly. She wanted to hate, but her tears suddenly burst. The only flesh-and-blood connection between them is no longer there. Everything is no longer important, only forgiveness and remembrance. Use the sorrow of a release to draw a terminator for the entire 6 years. Redemption for each other.
Has that mermaid turned into a bubble six years ago?
The symbol
"Julio Medem, is this a director who likes to use symbols?" When the film started, the blue transparent sea bottom and green swaying seaweed appeared in front of me, I started to guess. It turns out that he went further than my guess. The whole film is full of symbols: sea water, isolated islands, lighthouses, man’s novels, holes in the ground, sun, moon, dogs, dark clouds, mermaids...
of course the most outstanding use is the image of the sun and the moon, and I even smell it. To the taste of duality.
The man's name is Lorenzo (the sun), and the daughter's name is Luna (the moon). The sun represents the present and the moon represents the past.
Lucia is as brilliant and beautiful as the sun, her bravery and enthusiasm, her personality, and her love all exude the breath of sunshine, just like the song she often hums: the sunshine... she is so dark. Appearing in the life of the male protagonist brings supreme happiness and hope for the future, all good, until the reappearance of the bright moonlight six years ago.
The moon has always been a sign of a mother in astrology, and Elena is a woman with the mark of the moon. Her beauty is different from Lucia's bright and cheerful, with the moon's tenderness and passion.
The afterimage of the moon constantly appeared in the white sky, and the "past" intervened deeply into the "present". When Lorenzo kissed Luna lightly, the sun and moon began to parallel.
In fact, this bright moon is also beautiful, if there were no dark clouds, there would be no such abominable dog. Sex
and love
In fact, the sex in the film is also implicit in the sun and moon in my opinion. Lorenzo and Lucia often have sex in a sunny room. They are unscrupulous, take love photos, take off their clothes, and are as hot and passionate as the sun.
And the only intersection of Lorenzo and Elena's love is that night of the silver full moon, the moon is the pillow, the sea is the bed, the surging waves, the surging desire, two strangers toss in the deep blue water, lingering like moonlight.
As an erotic film, its boldness can be classified as TOP TEN in the movies I have watched. But these love scenes are not embarrassing and awkward. There is a kind of calm and magnanimity that is unique to European erotic films, especially when combined with the melodious and unfolding violin sound in me voy a morir de tanto amor, which makes the heart of the earth warm. Get up, full of love and sweetness. The sex of Lorenzo and Elena is more beautiful and delicate than Asian eroticism. This may be Julio Medem's skill in controlling erotic films.
In fact, what made me feel more about the whole film was not the surging or soothing sex, but the first time Lorenzo brought drunken Lucia home, helped her undress, but did not make love. The two met naked on the bed, and Lorenzo looked at Lucia tenderly next to him, then hugged her into his arms and fell asleep peacefully.
Kundera said: Sex with a woman is different from sleeping with a woman. At this moment I believe he loves her.
Not the end of the end,
all the clues at the end return to this island, to this end, and there is no end to this end.
When Lucia and the sea shook together, let us read the advantages of that story together.
This story has an advantage.
It has no ending,
because when it is about to end,
it will fall into a hole on the beach,
cooing. cuckoo ...
then starting from the center,
this advantage is its greatest advantage
as long as there is time, as long as you give me time,
I can re-start in the middle of it.
