Who is qualified to judge morality?

I am obsessed with movies because of his different methods of expression and his perfect form of serving the content. What I mean is that the story itself may not be very good, but the language of the movie and the narrative structure of the movie will make people impressed. Profound. At this time, I don't know the relationship between form and content, but I know that telling this story in a flat and straightforward way will definitely lose its brilliance.

And I gradually found it difficult to sum up a film in one sentence, and this is what I often wanted to do before. The theme of the film is always changing over time, and sometimes even contradictory in different paragraphs. , Sometimes because of the different points of view, the scope of the subject appears to be very different. Sometimes the subject is not directly told to you, but only has a feeling. Behind this feeling is the author’s values, and sometimes The author creates an illusion by speaking irony and lets you judge for yourself.

It's like this sad and sad movie. In Joe, who has no bottom line, it was performed by Ewan, but it seemed sincere. Ewan's appearance and eyes covered our eyes. Joe's behavior made me think cowardly. Tiny, laissez-faire, indulgent, humble, and pitiful, but he is sincere. It is Britain under the blue-green hue that has left us with a sense of coldness produced by the steel of the industrial age, and the cautious, selfish, and insensitive people from that era. Of course, this is also the deliberate intention of the director. The anonymous confession letter written by Joe to the judge at the end of the film does not mean anything to me, but only strengthens my original impression of Joe.

Young Adam quotes

  • Joe Taylor: I think she went to a bridge fully dressed and stood there breathing the warm night air. And she took off her jacket and folded it neatly on the ground. And then she unbuttoned her blouse and undid her brassiere and let it drop down on top of the other clothes. And she'd unbutton her skirt and let it slip down over her hips. And then she'd unroll her stockings and hold them out so that they blew in the breeze like penance before she let them float off into the night. And she'd shiver and ask herself if she really wanted to go through with this, and she'd answer that question by kicking her clothes into the river. And hurriedly now she'd take off her garter and her knickers. And there'd she be, standing in her petticoat, thinking about whatever it was that brought her to this. And then with her petticoat billowing around her she'd drop into the water like a rose, float there for a moment, and be gone.

    Les Gault: What kind of woman would do that?

    Joe Taylor: Just an ordinary woman.

  • Joe Taylor: [after having sex with Ella] Are you sorry?

    Ella Gault: Fat lot of good that would do me.
