"Fantasy Love"-Fantasy I Love You

MUSSET Dolan's movies are basically watched all, and I finally watched this "Fantasy Love". To be honest, this movie was not made very well. It should be said that most of the movie is annoying (if it weren’t for someone to spoiler and say that there is Louis in the last scene, I really don’t know if I will stick to the end), although there is a lot of beauty The scenes of the film to make up for the lack of plot, but I have to say, I think the film wants to express something very good, but the director is too immature, or he is too narcissistic and exaggerated, so the whole film except for those beautiful The color matching and various bizarre slow motions are basically nothing to watch, and these scenes are particularly ridiculous in the face of the pale plot. But I don't mean that Dolan did a bad job. After all, at his age, being able to make such a film is already amazing. It should be said that from "I Killed My Mother", to "Fantasy Love", and then to "Two-sided Lawrence", maybe I can't say "I love this film" in my heart based on my aesthetics and values, but Objectively speaking, every film of Dolan has amazed me. These have nothing to do with his shooting skills, but I just like what he wants to express through the film. I remember when I was in college, my teacher recommended the movie "I Killed My Mother". I always thought it was a suspenseful murder movie, but later I found out that it was a youthful family movie. Probably everyone will have disagreements with their mothers in their lives. After all, it is impossible for people to get along without friction. Just like people who love each other will want to kill each other 500 times in their lives, many times we also want to kill our parents. of. So when I was in the same adolescence, I deeply resonated with this film. The whole film is basically a crackling quarrel. There are not too many shooting skills, just a simple presentation of Dolan’s life, as he said. It is a semi-autobiographical film, and therefore it is simple but true. The truth is destined to touch people's hearts. As for "Lawrence on Both Sides", if "I Killed My Mom" ​​is to present a kind of life reality, what this movie is about to explore seems profound and niche. Perhaps because Dolan is a homosexual, he sees things from a different perspective from everyone. In short, I think it is difficult for normal people to film from such an angle. Regarding self-recognition and the pursuit of true love, I think this is a subject that humans have been pursuing and deeply obsessed with for thousands of years. In a seemingly tolerant but harsh environment like society, what should we do if the self pursued by one's heart cannot be accepted by the society? If the person you love becomes a stranger, will you still love him? Every problem is a major choice, no matter how you choose, the result is bound to be Accompanied by pain. I admire the courage of the hero and the pure love of the hero and heroine. Speaking of "Fantasy Love", it was filmed after "I Killed My Mother" and before "Lawrence on Both Sides", so its quality is somewhere in between. It's not as beautiful and fulfilling as "Lawrence on Both Sides", but it's more embellished than "I Killed My Mom". We can get the answer to the content of the film through the statements of several protagonists. First of all, not long after the beginning of the film, a few friends sat together to discuss love. One of the girls said that she once loved a German boy very much. He lives in Berlin and she lives in Montreal. She always flies over to find him and travels across the ocean. , And never get tired of it. She loves everything about him, including his accent. Until one day they live together, they no longer have to cross the ocean to meet, no longer countdown the days to meet each other, they live together, separated by a corridor, but no longer feel in love, everything is over. She guessed that what she fell in love with was love, this kind of love that became beautiful because of a long distance. She loved cafes elsewhere and the breeze elsewhere, but in fact, this love did not exist at all. She is in love with an idea, she loves this idea more than loving this person (or this person can be any person), she loves distance, so when this distance disappears, love will disappear Up. I just started to reflect. If the unreachable is always in a commotion, then it is not that I fell in love with this person, but because the distance made him impossible, so I desperately imagined his goodness, but in fact I Isn't the person who loves this person at all? The second meaningful statement is a monologue in the barbershop after the heroine and heroine turned their faces in a fight for Nicholas as friends, and the heroine failed to confess. She knew that she loved him, and she didn't believe how she would meet her lover who she believed was destined to be her soul mate at a young age of 25. This has nothing to do with sex. The important thing is to wake up with someone, and the important thing is to sleep together so that you can believe that someone has always been with you. In the morning you wake up with the breeze, with a warm belly, and the one you love is breathing on your shoulder, that's it, just life. She believed that Nicholas was the love of her life, she was so determined. This paragraph can basically be regarded as a tribute to Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". Love is a person's desire for another person to sleep together (rather than having sex). I really can't agree with this anymore. The heroes and heroines are very good friends, but they can stage a battle because they fall in love with the same person. It can be seen how unconvincing a great friendship is in the face of selfish love. However, the contested male protagonist Nicholas treats anyone It's not sincere, I'm just playing around, why are you so serious? People who don't care can retreat at any time, leaving serious people in place. Nikolai was gone, and the two protagonists were dumbfounded. But there is a saying that time can dilute everything, including love. But in just a few months, they forgot about Nikolai, returned to the party, and continued to look for new prey. Nicholas reappeared, and they couldn't make any ripples in their hearts, and Nicholas departed sadly. When they came to the corner room, they saw the boy wearing a woolen hat and talking with others. When he looked back, his beauty was enough to upset all living beings, so they fell in love again. Look at love, it's such a superficial thing. I think the only good thing about this movie is the ending. In terms of content, it makes all the struggles and tears of the front heroes and heroines, sorrows and pains become ridiculous, and visually, I can only say Louis you The existence of Michelangelo is to tell the world that Michelangelo’s David really exists, and your existence also tells the world that love can really be superficial. Please forgive me, like the hero and heroine, for losing myself in Louis's perfect face. True love is all nonsense. True love is true love (nonsense, I obviously pay attention to connotation). Like it. Louis, I love you, even if you like men (the nympho is over). It can be seen that Dolan, who grew up in Quebec, loves Europe very much. In addition to paying tribute to Milan Kundera’s "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", there is also a tribute to Proust Madeleine Cake. Here comes Louis. Although Dolan's aesthetics for heroines has always been very bad, we really see the same as heroes in other aspects. What does true love look like? I don’t think I can give an answer when I’m in my twenties. But what is certain is that for young us, love in youth is indeed superficial and full of fantasy. 2015-11-05 15: 44
