Dead love water
this is a movie in Hong Kong show when the Chinese translation, murder, lust, canals, film important factor in all succinctly expressed it, the story is from the dark blue river naked body of a woman beginning, so also because fathers Memories were broken down into two. The ancestor was on the ship, making peace with his employer’s wife, doing firewood and doves occupying the magpie’s nest, the port had to be anchored, and the desire was endless. "You will be the same as the last guest" with a facial expression, so time and time again, there is no emotion but only desire sex. Zu, like this slow boat on the silent river, drifted from one Eve to the next.
The narrow and depressing space inside the ship, the empty and lonely scenery outside the ship, there is no breath of life in the lens, everything is like an ancestor, filled with nothing but emptiness. The movie soundtrack made by David Byrne. The name of the OST is very interesting. It is called "Lead Us Not Into Temptation", with the taste of God Jehovah. It is still cold, like the breath exhaled at minus 30 degrees, and it is in the air for a moment. Condensed into a cold white mist, and then all disappeared.
Slow boat to China
Zu told her when he left Jiafei that he would write to her from China. Zu and Jia Fei have been together for two years, trying to be a writer, typing blindly on the typewriter. Ancestor seduced Jia Fei and abused Jia Fei, but made Jia Fei fall in love with him and became pregnant with his child. When Jia Fei dreamed of forming a family with his ancestor, Zu’s rejection caused her to fall into the bottom of the river and become that A wandering female corpse. She can't keep Adam, because Adam has no love, only desire. After the discovery of the corpse, Jia Fei’s memories continue to intersect with the life of the ancestor. Zu is also full of guilt and fear to attend the trial of the case. The appearance of the innocent dead ghost made Zu a sigh of relief but also made his conscience guilty. He tried to write an anonymous letter to quell his guilt, but he still pushed an innocent life to the guillotine.
Zu burned the photo of Jia Fei that had been preserved for a long time, and finally threw the mirror that Jia Fei gave him into the river. The mirror was engraved with "When you look at yourself, think of me, and you will die C". It's a pity Zu He doesn’t need a mirror, he doesn’t think of Garfield, Aina, or every Eve. He never needs who he is. He doesn’t want love. Desire is his end, for him and everything about him. Eve, love is colder than death.
Young Adam
to see the purpose of this film is the starting Ivan. McGregor, the ancestor he played was blurred and gloomy, introverted and deep, just like those gloomy characters before him, there is a fatal temptation between the numbness and madness. Tilda has supporting roles. Sveton and Peter. The Scottish accent of characters like Mullen also gave me great satisfaction. The original author of the novel, Alexander. Alexander Trocchi was a literary geek in the 1960s. He was called "absurd genius" and "decadent writer". He came from Paris to New York, USA, and became drug-addicted. Pornographic novels. As a result, the author’s autobiographical shadow is reflected in Zu’s body. When living with Jia Fei, Jia Fei reprimanded Zu "Why don’t you write an ordinary book? A book that people can read?" At this moment, the author’s sorrow and emptiness are undoubtedly revealed. .
In fact, when the beautiful and stern ending song sounded, I was still numb as if drowning in the water. The river was carrying Adam’s slow boat and wandering constantly. Eve appeared in his life one by one, wandering without roots, and love and desire were separated. The ancestor is absurdly empty and incomplete. The fluctuation of the river and the repetition of light and shadow do not reflect the gloom in the ancestor’s heart. There is no moral criticism of such a "thinking" character. There is only a kind of compassion, which makes people feel right. The ancestor, the young Adam, felt pity, but everything was the same as the hand that the ancestor put on the back of the female corpse at the beginning. The coldness of the corpse and the icy water of the river made it hard to resist the chills when the heart palpitated.
