haven’t dared to watch this debut work. Polanski’s character relationships are already so skilled, there is no summary, no unnecessary people to pave the way for the background of the story (a total of three people), that is, where people come from. Go, after what happened on this day, the clues we got are only these, it seems that there is no need to know anything.
Two
male owners and female controls
luxury car undercurrents atmosphere, during which the journey without words, even when the middle exchange driving position, women also face full of indifference.
The male protagonist tries to please the female protagonist and kisses the neck while driving, but does not seem to have patience. The image of irritability and paper tiger seems ridiculous to the female protagonist (audience), as if there is not enough authority in the relationship between husband and wife, delicate old man The old wife's daily routine.
The tacit understanding of setting sails and the proficiency of preparing food indicate that they both often go out to sea for recreation, but what is the meaning of a day of silent sailing? Maintain the interest of the middle class?
The same reason seems to have passed to Antonioni’s "Night." The middle-aged couple who have long since been jealous and hate each other are not even disappointed. This kind of couple relationship is so invisible, (so that I watched it on the way. I very much doubt whether this is a long time, is there a problem with acting, is it a husband and wife?) Besides, there is no reference to the reaction of the teenager in the play. This tacit emotional vacuum setting is very subtle, concise and powerful.
At the end, the male and female protagonist argued for whether the boy came back or not. The male and female protagonists wrestle with lies about the lie (some comments say that the male protagonist has a moral dilemma, and choosing to believe in the female protagonist is to admit the affair. I did not see the signs of the affair found by the male protagonist, so There is no dilemma in his decision). However, in the eyes of the heroine, the male protagonist’s ridiculous speculation has further deepened his stupid image. I only saw the heroine’s ridicule, and even tried to convince it that it was too lazy to argue. Terrible marriage. The power of the male protagonist in the marriage is imaginary. .
Three
male owners and Teenage
hailed teenager appeared, the male not only did not feel remorse for almost hit the boy, but the whole override teenager.
The writer’s male protagonist owns luxury cars and sailboats. The capital’s presence did not curb the spread of the desire for control. The loss of power in marriage made him try to find a sense of power in the teenager. At the beginning, the teenager was very cooperative and moderately complimented and praised. The car, praises sailing technology, these strongly satisfy the vanity of the hero.
The three of them ate together, basked in the sun, worked as trackers, played games, and sang. It seemed very harmonious.
The outbreak of the teenager occurred after the male protagonist continued to play and challenge the self-esteem of the young man. He threw the young man’s beloved knife into the water. The young man jumped into the water and disappeared. ashore.
At this time, the teenager occupied the commanding heights of the victim, and his power was reversed.
Four
care of the household and juvenile
care of the household and adolescents continue to accumulate chemical reaction, is the male bullied too much time, will be seen in the eyes of the women inside stopped (although at the beginning, the couple have a look at the middle class poor young man make a fool Psychological suspicion).
The juvenile accomplice stubbornly refrained from eating, and had to hold the hot pot with bare hands. All kinds of silly behaviors aroused the female protagonist’s motherhood and desire for protection. In an attempt to tame the young man with his mother’s love, the phrase "You are the same as him, except that he is twice as old as you, and you are twice as stupid as him." All of a sudden, the two were linked together, surpassing the young man. Power turned into anger with a bit of blame, and then kisses spontaneously, and power collapsed.
After the boy went ashore and left, the heroine looked into the distance without turning her head, as if nothing had happened. This is not like an affair at all, it is more like a short and exhausting rest in the power field. To have a mutual "love" with a reckless teenager on the uninhabited sea is that the stupid husband ruined the mood, and the hostess only needs a placebo after fright.
Five
knives were really useless in the water, and after a wave of waves, the original silence was restored. Life is as usual. All kinds of strange forces can't stir a weak marriage, and power returns to its place.
PS: In fact, I am also very curious about the technology. How to dispatch the various conditions on the boat, the deck and cabin are very crowded, and the relationship between the characters must be photographed from a third-person perspective.
