The first time I watched this movie was when I was in high school. I was having a fever that day. I think it's because I was having a fever today and I remembered this movie.
By being ill, you can not go to class, and it feels like a holiday. I was alone in an empty house, watching this movie that made my heart beat when I was still innocent at the time. Seeing Liang Jiahui putting his hands in Jane Marge's skirt in the car. Frightened.
Liang Jiahui's looks are not as handsome as I admire. However, seeing him waiting for Jane Marge in the car without combing his hair smoothly, he felt an overwhelming elegance.
Two people are making love in a dark and hot room, and there is a scene of human life with strong colors and noisy outside. As a young person, I feel that love and sex must be opposed. Such feelings really make me hard to respect. When we were young, we were always too self-righteous. Only after suffering a lot of hardship can I understand that life and imagination must be very different.
I can't remember many details. One of them is that Liang Jiahui invited Jane Marge's family to dinner, Jane Marge just bowed her head to eat, and Liang Jiahui tried her best to endure things. At this moment, even if the corners of the eyebrows are so calm, you can still see love.
The man knelt in front of his elderly father, weeping, and begged his father to let him marry the white woman. He was too weak to know what to do. I feel that among all the shortcomings of men, weakness and indecision are the ones that women hate most, and weakness is generally accompanied by indecision. A man with such a temperament will make a woman who loves her grit her teeth. Just like Duan Yu is soft and affectionate, I don't know how many sisters will be happy.
For a relationship, it is difficult for a gentle man to fulfill one's wishes, and even if one wishes, it is not so pleasant. The man married a Chinese bride he didn't love.
The French girl left and returned to China with her mother. She didn't try to show her love, and she could only say that she was reluctant to accept all kinds of men. In their view, in any case, white people are more noble than people of color.
When the girl left, the man sent her off at the dock. She stood on the boat and saw him from a distance. I can’t remember whether she cried or not. I just realized that she was love. his. Forgive me for being a stupid child at the time. I didn't understand how many loves required hundreds of thousands of turns but not necessarily complete. That's why it is so precious.
After reading Duras's original work for a long time, I was old. One day, in the lobby of a public place, a man approached me. He took the initiative to introduce himself, and he said to me: "I know you and will always remember you. At that time, you were very young and everyone thought you were beautiful. Now, I came here to tell you specifically. For me, I think Now you are more beautiful than you were when you were young. At that time you were a young woman. Compared with your appearance at that time, I love your now devastated face more. "
I want feelings. Such feelings are desperate and reconciled. Addicted

    He sent me a paragraph from the original book today so I started watching the movie and it turned into a pure love story and we were concerned with an individual's self-discovery

    As a fan of Duras' original novel, the movie is not easy to watch, for fear of ruining it. Liang Jiahui's temperament basically conforms to the prototype of the novel, which is cowardly, incompetent, violent and simple. I don't like the image of a girl, because it lacks a strong and resistant character. The second half of the film is noticeably better than the first half. What touched me the most in the novel was the picture of a Chinese man bathing a Caucasian woman. I didn't expect the film to be treated coldly and without beauty. "The Lover" can't be filmed, it is peerless.

The Lover quotes

  • Narrator: "Now and then I go back to the house in Sadek. To the horror of the house in Sadek. It's an unbearable place. It's close to death. A place of violence of pain of despair, of dishonour... But it's in this family's dryness in it's incredible harshness that I am the most deeply assured in myself. In the deepest of my essential certainties, all common history of ruin and shame, of love and hate is in my flesh."

  • Narrator: Dusk one evening on board ship, crossing the Indian Ocean under the luminous sky. Suddenly the sound of a Chopin waltz came bursting out from the main lounge. I had tried to play it for months without success. That's why I gave up the piano. There wasn't a breath of wind and the music pervaded the whole ship. I stood up as if to go and throw myself into the sea. Then I did weep because I had thought of my Chinese lover, and I was suddenly not sure that I hadn't been in love with him after all, with a love I hadn't been able to see because it had become lost in the tide of events, like water seeping through sand. Thanks to that music, spreading over the sea and filling the calmest night I have ever known, I could see my love for him for the first time.
