Be braver

It seems that I happen to revisit this movie every few years. This is an idle night. I saw this "Polar Lovers" poster on the homepage of a pirated movie website. The dark blue and black tone, the heroine straight Googou stared at me at this end of the screen, I thought, whatever it is, what if he is hypocritical again.

In the poster that has the deepest impression of the movie, the adult Anna hugs Otto from behind, while Otto leaned against her with his eyes closed. This seems to allude to the relationship structure between the man and the woman in the movie. The girl is the one who actively gives a hug. In the heavy clothes of both parties and the surrounding Xiao Su's cold environment, this hug can convey some warmth. The boy didn't hug back, he just leaned on the girl, his expression was peaceful with a trace of pain.

I mainly want to compliment the girl Anna, she is like a knife, very sharp, and just turn around and do what she believes. This metaphor comes from the words that praised another woman, "Du Mei is like a weapon, a very magnificent and sharp knife in the hands of Master Guan Yuguan-this is the indelible thing she left to me. Impressions.” Pick an adjective to describe Anna’s character, that is, “brave”.

Anna's bravery left an indelible impression on me. When her father died, she took off her mother’s sunglasses. The sunglasses were a sad external image; she passed the paper airplane with love poems to her mother to encourage her to start again; adolescent Otto was the first to have love for her, but she took the initiative I held his face and kissed him; when she first tasted the love of clouds and rain, she took the initiative to invite and hand over a note, encouraging the boy to "be brave" over and over again; after four years of marriage, she resolutely divorced and went to the Arctic Circle to wait for Otto... Bravery is never the same Exclusive terms for men.

In comparison, the boy Otto became a delicate and fragile party in the movie. He experienced the failure of his parents' love when he was a child. The movie gave a wonderful analogy to the failure of this kind of love, like a road trip, halfway through the car. There is no oil. Otto's father chose to take someone else's car to refuel, while his mother stayed there and waited. Otto hugged his mother in the night to comfort him and said, I always love you, if the gasoline runs out, I will die. He is too delicate, and as a primary school student, this feeling is too heavy.

Sex is a very important thing between two people, she is naturally the brave driver. The director is very good at playing some psychological hints. In late-night tuition, the two sit next to each other under the lamp. The reindeer in the snow in the textbook is making some noises, which is a primitive desire. A kiss, of course, a kiss, and then sex. No man can resist the beautiful nudity under the covers, not to mention that she is so passionate. The boy faces the rustling leaves and masturbates in the shadow of the tree. The night is as cool as water, which is a very beautiful scene in the movie. Romeo and Juliet, who turned the window in the middle of the night, had a tryst, and the boy hiding under the bed, facing the camera, had a slender neck inlaid with a masculine apple, "give me a morning kiss", sex drives everything.

What is the neck and head? damn, so yellow

The tragedy of the two men is probably due to the fragility and lack of bravery of the boy. My mother’s promise of “death when I ran out of gasoline” was easily broken after I met my beloved girl for the first time. I moved away from my mother when I had time to say hello in the future. Mobility. To a certain extent, like his father, he abandoned his lonely mother, and the image of "wife" defeated "mother". After the accidental death of his mother, the good days of indulging in love came to an end. The boy began to blame himself and could not forgive his leaving. I even suspect that he also began to hate Anna. It was Anna who seduced him. The fragile people are used to it. Think so. So he wants to die and stay away from everything, and Anna, who wants to die with him, doesn't have such qualifications in his eyes. He rushed down from the cliff, leaving only a back, to escape, this was another time of bravery. His fragility caused him to lose his two favorite women, but I don't want to blame him.

Those exquisite designs and coincidences, Anna, Otto, the name of the cycle; German paratroopers and Spanish girls, the cycle of love; the sun that never sets in the Arctic Circle, cycle, cycle... "It’s good to live in a non-stop cycle, but My only circle is not even complete. The most important thing is being lost. I have written her name countless times in my heart. At this moment, I cannot get close to anything. I exist alone..."
