The original name of "Death of Love" is "Young Adam", which means Adam's indulgence in the Garden of Eden, but the translated title seems to be more appropriate. From the beginning of the film, the scenes of the film followed the ghostly dance of the female corpse. The tone was set at the beginning. The darkness was suppressed, like passion and anxiety surging under a calm and deserted surface. Zu is an indulgent, timid, cowardly and irresponsible frustrated writer. He lives on the support of his girlfriend Jia Fei. After two years, he finally left without emotion (after a very abnormal erotic scene), claiming to go to China, in fact he just came to work on a slow boat (the film also describes the bottom of this type of Scottish boatman) Life), the love entanglement with the shipowner’s wife did not satisfy him. After breaking up their family, he quickly got together with his newly widowed sister. He never held any responsibility for feelings, let alone morality. The only thing that is desirable is his calmness and indifference in the face of bad luck. This may be related to his dark, suppressed and introverted personality. At least he is not hypocritical. He has a fair attitude towards women and never refuses to get the game. Then I Is it possible to conclude like this: He is not suitable for discussing feelings with any woman. Feelings are the lonely flowers that embellish his barren life. He only pays attention to himself. The wind that comes and goes does not leave a trace of a woman, and she stumbles on unintentionally. Jia Fei, who fell into the water, felt a little guilty. He threw the mirror-like mirror into the black hole-like river of despair, and abandoned his last touch with his past life.
There are two shots that I remember clearly: the depth and slowness of the boat slowly passing through the bridge hole, which is very consistent with the temperament of Ewan McGrego (its famous degree does not need to be repeated), and there is a fearless and firm look in the eyes, but just like the director is not without preference Just as you can't bear to condemn this character, you will only fall in his English charming temperament; the other is that he listens to the sound of water droplets while lying in bed, like the cry of the hourglass of time in the tense suspense of unbearable life. The heroine Tilda Swinton is pale and thin, and is also British style.
In fact, the film has no intention of condemning anything, because sex is the unfathomable river under the boat, even if it dies, there is still love.
