How long can you be so proud?

When I saw Alfie calling the puppy to walk home alone, I remembered Plato’s famous love statement, “Everyone is an incomplete individual split in half. I have been looking for the other half in my whole life, but I may not find it because there are too many people who have been split." Alfie is a playboy, but he found only a stray dog ​​who didn't care about his home. He deserves to be alone forever. He is already favored by having a dog as a companion.

When I first watched it, I thought it would be one of my favorite movies. This kind of echoing from the beginning to the end—the moon is black and the wind is high at night, Alfie seduce a married woman, and when the wind is high, the moon is black and deep, Alfie molested A married woman ends up with a very different style (psychological activities rely on the protagonist’s confession, revealing publicity), and somewhat controversial works, generally the lover loves, the evil one is evil. For example, the title for women in it is "bird", regardless of gender, Alfie will refer to women as the third person "it". This is bound to cause dissatisfaction among many people, especially in the age of female consciousness awakening, Alfie is out of date. Alfie machismo, Alfie, you selfish liar who blasphemes the damsel.

Well, the cursing is over, do we have to see if Alfie has practical significance?

As long as there are feelings in the world, liars must exist. To paraphrase Wong Kar-wai's words, where there are feelings, there are deceptions, and it is difficult to say who deceived whom. Alfie does play with women by any means. He will hold a bunch of flowers, wear well-dressed, and walk on the street looking for "hunting porn" objects. He will be able to observe his words and colors, do his best, and create an atmosphere without losing the opportunity. In addition, he has a good sense of humor. Tongue, a fashionable and unrestrained means of transportation, he is Jiang Ziya, if you don't want to, his straight hook seems to be unable to hook you no matter how capable it is.

May wish to look around. There have been reports of car shocks in the opening scene in the news. There are nights in life. I went home the next day and lied that it was a party with friends or a play at the business table last night. Alfie was at least a little bit upright." Shameless" mirroring, he will flirt with the nurses openly in the hospital, and will brazenly confess, "You ask me when I will be back tonight, and I don’t know when I will be back in a few days." The ridiculous thing is that we can’t tolerate this kind of truthfulness. Approximately shameless confession, but sneaking into a ghost, and then always believing in your loyalty to you, even if you have doubts, you would rather settle down, for the family, for the children, for the beautiful love a few years ago, pretend Deaf and dumb, forbearance and calm. This is kindness, because you believe that the prodigal son will return, but kindness is not the solution to everything.

It seems that I am trying to make two people get divorced if their relationship breaks up, or to deceive you, toss their sleeves and slap their ass and leave. Even the Bible does not emphasize the need for tolerance, neutrality, and "endurance" in marriage and love? But tolerance is also timely and not unconditional. To a certain extent tolerance is still indulgence, especially for those "flower prodigal sons", the more tolerant they are, the more likely it is to lead to indulgence, and even tolerance becomes an excuse for indulgence. In "Doctor Zhivago", the revolutionary boy Pasha said that you adults often talk about tolerance, just because you need more tolerance. I even thought that after the confession, the crime ceased to exist or the discount was reduced, and he walked out of the church and resumed his old career. The black-hearted boss still kept the workers under house arrest in the black-walled shingle workshop to earn cheap labor. Drooling, sweet words in bed.

To be more precise, when cheating, I hope you will cheat more brazenly and honestly, instead of covering up and trying to cover up under the guise. At all times I feel that the real meanness is much more lovely than the hypocritical nobleness. Frankly speaking, I prefer Alfie. He is a bit like the famous outsider Mersau in Camus's writings. He chooses to stray and degenerate, subconsciously find flowers and ask willows, even when he sees the fetus killed in the kitchen, he was abandoned before. The woman and the son repented and stuffed the abortion fee in the woman's purse, but he still "can't change the dog to eat shit", he even laughed and amused at the end, the smile on the corner of his mouth was helpless and stubborn.

It’s especially worth mentioning that when Alfie seemed to be trying to change his past, settle down, and start a new life, he was toyed with and abandoned by another wealthy beauty hunter Ruby (played by Shelly Winters). The excuse was, on the bed. "He" is younger than you. This time, the person called Bird who has a grudge seems to have a vengeful sigh. This is a karma, like the story of O mother. When she obeys you, she may be a weak person, and even more so. , But when her wings are stiff and you become dependent on her, it is when Feng Shui turns. The evildoers, the influential, the incumbents, and two of their subordinates are arrogant to them. Should I also squeeze some time to ask myself, how long can I be proud of my madness?
