Second brush. This is a story with a sense of hierarchy and expansion. A Spanish girl and a daughter of Russia met in Rome, and the next day they had to go to each other. They only had one night to talk to each other. Pompey Hotel has created a grand historical stage for them, from ancient Greece and Rome to the Italian Renaissance, they fantasize their own life stories within this historical framework. Like a piece of music and dance, there is always advancement and retreat. In the end, they broke up at dawn. We are not even sure how their true lives are, but they left a story for us to remember. The beginning of the story is very interesting. The two pull hands for the first time when they come out of the bar. T uses his left hand and P uses his right hand. Both are their non-dominant hands. But at the end of the plot, when they pull their hands for the last time, they both use their dominant hands. , This is a detail that I find very interesting, throughout the whole show. After they entered the room, they began to make up stories. They were half-truths, but they all revolved around the same theme: how they became a woman. It was in this alternate fantasy that they confided in how they were portrayed as a woman. , A Ji Zai or a straight daughter. T proposes to live together in Rome, which is a double loss for P: She gave up her original life, and at the same time, she was also bend by a woman. To a large extent, the development of the plot is accompanied by her attitude. Sometimes she took the initiative to kiss Ji Cub; but she showed a lot of ambiguity... The pace of the whole play is very slow, basically it is emotionally that you go back and forth between you and me. This seems to be the first Spanish movie I watched. It seems that Latin movies are not my favorite style, including French movies, but this one is indeed the mood I like.
Of course, we can have a feminist interpretation, a very gentle attempt, different from "The End of the Wild Flower": P's twin sisters were sexually assaulted by their father since childhood, and she chose her mentor to become her husband. , This is actually the same logic, that is, a surrender to patriarchy/patriarchy; Ji Zai said, I was born as Les, and I have never tried to have a relationship with a man. This kind of role setting has a lot of room for expansion, or it can be based on the purpose of investigating "sexual evil". Sartre's "Confinement" follows such a method. But this movie is a gentle exploration. The main creation seems to be around a topic: how life will "become a woman". This is a response to Beauvoir's questioning. T is not so tough that P asks her, why not fight? Mapped to reality, this is what Ji Zai often discuss in circles: if you fall in love with a straight daughter and think that you can make her happy, Will you bend her?
The development of the plot is probably like this: at the beginning, when we met, the two people made up a false life story, and then you told me a little truth, and I also gave you a little truth. At the end of the plot, we basically understood their life events. , And then they went their separate ways after sunrise. On the surface, they all started with a lie, but from the very beginning, they all exposed women's greatest kindness and sincerity to women. After entering the room, the straight girl first proposed to be nude, and Ji Zai agreed; then the straight girl suggested that you come and help me undress. After that, the two began to talk naked, crying and laughing together. In a sense, there is no lie in the room, because all their statements are based on the real life of women-whether it is straight or curved, Romans or Slavs, they share their destiny as women . In contrast to "rape me", a French female director's attitude towards women's destiny is tough and decisive; this Spanish male director's work is graceful and tender, in contrast, quite interesting.
In order to commemorate their encounter, they hung the sheets rolled together on the flagpole in the center like a national flag. They had breakfast together in the morning light; they played a game of catching hands, and they all stretched out their right hands and couldn't touch each other. The left-handed P went to catch T's hand after pulling back his right hand. They laughed: this It is the feeling of electric shock. They knew that it was impossible to stay in Rome to start a new life together, and they might not see each other again in this life, but they did not feel sad, and chose to bid farewell against the backdrop of the morning glow and return to each other's real lives. This scene makes people feel very romantic, regardless of whether it is to be defined as gay love.
