The essence of man is actually nothing more than a "clothed beast." Under the social surface constraints, there is a flood of original desires, and the entire complexity of man lies in the need to balance the two, tragedies are often born from this. "Seriously Injured in Love" truly shows this scene. Jeremy Irons plays the role of Fleming, a high-ranking official of the British government with hereditary aristocratic descent. He lives in the upper class and meets Anna played by Binoche at a party. His eyes are staggered, and there is a huge difference in age and status. Instantly disappeared, and Anna was actually the girlfriend of Fleming's son Martin. However, the two sides still burst into uncontrollable passion. That kind of social repression did not stop Fleming. He actually used the gap in the meeting in Geneva to sneak into Paris and secretly call Anna back from his son. Until an accidental oversight, Martin discovered the truth, stumbled and fell to death, and his naked father held Martin in pain. And Anna, almost left the scene in a calm.

We can say that this is a romance film, or treat it as a psychological apocalypse. Known as "beautiful and pure as transparent as fresh air", Juliet Binoche has a major role breakthrough this time. Her heroine Anna wears a mysterious black dress, a pair of angels and demons. Face Eve. Anna cannot be simply attributed to a femme fatal temptation, but destiny always arranges her like this. When she was a girl, Anna's brother committed suicide madly because of his love for her; Fleming, a noble man with full of gentleman's style, was crazy about him and couldn't help himself. When he was about to enter the cabinet, his family was ruined and his family was ruined. The film did not give any direct social evaluation to the hero and heroine. Except for Fleming's wife who has her natural anger and the pain of losing her son, the British seem to be able to understand the love between them. No wonder Westerners still believe that it is still worthwhile to have another ten-year Troy War for Helen.

From now on, Fleming, who was alone in Xiao Ran, stayed away from the crowd, traveled far alone, returned to the shabby hut, facing the huge photo of his son's lover and the three of them, secretly hurting himself. What’s not interesting at the end of the film is that he calmly said, “I only met her once, and met by chance at the airport. She didn’t see me. She was with Peter, holding a child, and nothing to do with other women. Two different." Fleming, who was once in the ocean, was seriously injured by love. What did he realize in the memories of people near the setting sun? Is the so-called love just an enchanted journey of passion, a dreamlike awakening after a drunk flower, and an infinite void after a stormy sea?

Damage quotes

  • Dr. Stephen Fleming: It takes a remarkably short time to withdraw from the world. I traveled... until I arrived at a life of my own. What really makes us is beyond grasping. It's way beyond knowing. We give in to love... because it gives us some sense of what is unknowable. Nothing else matters, not at the end.

  • Dr. Stephen Fleming: I saw her once more only. I saw her by accident at an airport, changing planes. She didn't see me. She was with Peter. She was holding a child. She was no different from anyone else.
