The protagonist is played by the uncle Jeremy Irons, my favorite "professional lover". The storyline is similar to his previous work "Lolita". In the end, the Lord Minister was ruined and his family was separated, and his girl was seduced. Anna, Juechen left, not willing to even look back at him.
If Lolita is a fairy, specially to seduce Humber, then Anna to Steve is completely demonic. At a boring dinner, she wore a slim black dress and was sexy and cold. She saw him at a glance among the coveted crowd. She also saw through the emptiness of his heart, through his helplessness and dissatisfaction with the status quo: his wife and mother were rich in wealth. His son is far from what he expected when he grows up. His daughter is in the youth and rebellious period. The seemingly warm family is like a stagnant pool, unhappy, and the image of a polite and modest gentleman is wrapped around him like a well-wrapped skin. The corner of her mouth hung the look that a hunter could only catch prey, like a sharp arrow, shot straight at him, introducing herself as his son's girlfriend.
When he was empty and lonely and didn't know how to spend, he turned around and saw her stunningly appear in front of him. Suddenly, he was at a loss like a child for half a second, and then looked at her with joy and attentiveness. He was instantly disappointed when she introduced herself as his son's new girlfriend. Secretly funny, the expression of this admiration was too positive and obvious, so that the phone game she later appeared to be too much-it must be a fish that is going to be hooked, why throw away the bait?
Just as the forest in late autumn was on fire, lust spread to become a prairie fire. Her apartment, between his meetings, any possible opportunity, as if children are indulging in inextricable games, only Anna is left in his entire world. When making love for the first time, Steve tore at Anna's clothes arrogantly and impetuously, the primitive long-repressed desire erupted, as if he was trying to rub Anna into his ribs.
Early in the morning between meetings, I called the room where Anna and her son were staying and asked to see her. He hugged her, breathing quickly, as if he would suffocate at any time, like a child holding her beloved toy, unable to throw it out. She embraced him silently and tenderly, not love but sympathy in her eyes. The look in Juliet Binoche's eyes here is really good: pity.
Seeing this, I couldn't help sighing to Steve: It's over, uncle, you are going to be eaten and wiped the bones. If at the beginning she was just a stunner who seduced him on a whim, then the pitying and unfeeling eyes here are doomed to this game of playing with fire, she must finally leave without leaving any dust.
In the beginning, the fire burned so fast and so violently that even the audience wondered, how could there be such an unpleasant emotion? Steve didn’t care when he had sex; saw his son having breakfast with Anna in the hotel opposite, so he curled up on the bed and let out a weeping cry; shocked when he learned that Anna had agreed to his son’s marriage proposal-Anna affected all of his Emotions, his deep loneliness ignited because of her, and burned him to the point.
But how much does he really love her? Or does he want to possess her too much? He eats his son's jealousy, and eats the jealousy of her childhood friend Peter, regardless of family relationships. Anna knows very well what she means to Steve: she is a bomb, accidentally dropped into his middle-aged confused and seemingly tender home. What he needs is passion, the excitement of hiding everyone, so she was questioned by the police at the end. Only then will they be shamelessly convinced that no one knows about their affair.
Was it the ecstasy that drove the head, or was this beautiful rose too tempting?
From the beginning to the end, Anna could see through his thoughts: so she rejected his suggestion to divorce and stay with her, she would tell him the truth about the death of his brother, and after becoming a daughter-in-law, she said: "You think you are no longer there." Will I still marry Martin?" All
she wants is an unfettered freedom, a long-term and stable relationship with each other, flying for too long, she yearns for landing. When Peter met Steve for the first time, he said that what Anna needs is to stabilize, and Martin can give her a relaxed environment without restraining her and detaining her. It's a pity that Steve didn't understand this sentence at all. He thought she loved him and loved him regardless of worldly morals, and wanted her to get out of the sibling relationship with her brother in the past.
Even when his son was tragically accidental when he witnessed the truth, he was still obsessed with it. His wife Ingrid, who suffered the loss of her son, explained the mystery: "You love Anna the most, my son Martin is the one I love the most, and Anna? Who is Anna's love the most?" Anna loves Peter the most. She would return to Peter every time she broke up, from the death of her brother to the end of the story.
In fact, this sentence is not quite complete. What Anna loves most is actually this life that can pass away at any time. Those who have been hurt know how to protect themselves and can hurt others better. She wants to love and be free, to enjoy every minute of life, to drag others to hell and then to pat the ashes on her shoulders and go away. That tragic adolescent romance made her seem more able to arouse the protective desire of others: Martin, who is innocent, feels sad in her heart, wants to protect her happy life forever; Steve, burned by lust, wants to divorce Propose to her and stay with her.
I'm afraid that the only one who really saw her was the childhood sweetheart with her and took away the Peter she kissed for the first time. He knew that she was born like a cicada's wings, light and easy to die, not persistent, not forced, so even if she tossed and turned thousands of times, she still waited by his side for the last time.
The film title also has a title called "Love Is Wounded", but in this so-called love, it is Steve, not Anna, who is seriously injured.
Did she love him? no. Did he love her? It's sad, yes.
This feeling that came and left suddenly like a plague and a tsunami burned away all his nostalgia, until in the end he never regretted: "It is easy for a man to live alone. I travel until I find my own life. What exactly do people do? I don’t know. We fall in love in order to find true love. Nothing else matters. There is no regret in the end.”
Years later, he walked slowly through the crowd with fruits and opened the curtains. It was an enlarged version of the photo of the three of them many years ago-a full wall high, he pulled up a chair, sat in front of him, and watched her face: "I only met her once, met by chance, and transferred at the airport. , She didn't see me, she was with Peter, holding a child in her hands, just like other women. "What a cruel line, there is no greeting after reunion, and there is no shocking stare of the vast crowd. She finally returned to the person she had always loved, and to him, she was an eternal cinnabar mole in her heart, lingering.
She marries and has children, and she is no different from others; is she different from others who drag children and daughters? Seeing her as everyone, seeing everyone as her, the love that ran past, planted the love vaccine into his heart, since then, the years have flown, the reputation and power, no one has anything to do with him. In the picture, Irons' eyes are like black holes, with nostalgia, relief, and peace, "color is emptiness and color", that's it.
In the end, I couldn't help but want to complain: the bad degree of the sex scenes in this film can be ranked in the top ten of the personal list, especially the performance of Binoche, which is completely unfeeling. Thinking of Thomas and Teresa's first sex scene in "Love in Prague", I also feel a sense of weakness in silence. ╮(╯_╰)╭
