Please do not reprint without the author’s permission, thank you for being reborn in the flames-the male love in Spanish movies, the man in the Spanish movie "Law of Desire" and the Argentine movie "Burning Coins in Flames" He is willing to trade his whole life for him An hour by his side. At the moment of parting, he covered him with a sheet and gently exhorted "Be careful not to catch cold." The moment he pulled the trigger, the bullet collided with his soul to give the most beautiful light. He used the last hour of his life to create a new life for him, a life combined with love. He followed him. The burning flame is a brilliant testimony of their passion for life. ——Spanish film "The Law of Desire" ("The Rules of Desire") He and him are surrounded by a rain of bullets surrounded by police cars, but there is no one else. They turned the banknotes robbed at the risk of their lives into a raging fire. Burn it, Firebird! Burn it, my love! In the light of the fire, the two men are as handsome as ancient Greek warriors guarding the god of love. When their lives were dying, they kissed each other greedily, as if to instill their entire lives into each other through their lips. For this kiss, what they gave to each other was their entirety, complete, from body to mind—life. ——The Argentine movie "Burning Coins in Flames" In Argentina, director Marcelo Piñeyro is a film poet who is good at describing the emotions of men. His films, whether it is "The Suspect of Sex", which reflects the brotherhood of heterosexual men, or "Burning Coins in Flames", which reveals the inner world of gay men, are all works centered on focusing on male friendship. These masculine film works have created affectionate and important male group portraits for us on the screen, thus subverting the common male images in traditional male films who are fighting for power, wealth and beauty. The two men in "Burning Coins in Flames" join hands in the treacherous arena, which reminds people of the brothers and lovers who lived and died together in the Hong Kong movie "The More Fallen Heroes" starring Fang Zhongxin and Chen Jinhong. "Burning Coins in Flames" is based on real events that took place in Buenos Aires in 1965. In Argentina, people call them twins who live and die together, but in fact they have long believed that each other is inseparable from their own flesh and blood. For the two male protagonists in the film, there is no need to say this kind of heart-to-heart sentiment. They only need a look and a handshake to quickly understand each other. The protagonist NENE often remembers the first meeting of the two, when ANGEL put his wine bottle in his arms and reached for the cigarette between his lips. The moment when the smoke was lingering, and the "sky thunder shook the ground fire" exchanged eyes, it was recalled many years later, and it can still stir the whole body and mind, allowing the five internal organs to relive the warmth of the first touch. In contrast to the male style works of Argentine director Marcelo Piñeyro, Spanish director Almodóvar is a recognized "feminist director". "Law of Desire" may be Almodóvar's only film with a male perspective. Even in such a film with a man as the theme, it still runs through the director's long-term thinking about sexual diversity and gender cross-border. The protagonist Pablo’s "sister" was once his younger brother. He chose to change sex to stay with his father. At the same time, between Pablo and his lover, he broke into the third male class. Delas. Almodovar mixed the symbols of love triangle, queer, transsexual, and incest in the "Law of Desire". With his ingenious conception, he showed the audience the unknown edge of the male world and provided us with This is an unusual and precious opportunity to meet men. This perspective can help us see the real tears of men after removing their masks, and understand that they are actually a group that is heavily oppressed by the patriarchal social structure, and the patriarchal society’s distortion and harm to the male world, to some extent, even exceed Up women. In this way, the two Spanish directors of different styles have reached the same goal by different paths. They devote their enthusiasm to questioning and challenging the mainstream conventions into the creation that pays attention to the inner feelings of men. ANGEL in "Burning Flames of Coins" is troubled by religious beliefs. He has a desire for the same sex, but he cannot escape the warnings and admonitions of his inner passions by Catholic dogma. He said that his mind and consciousness were "hearing hallucinations". In fact, the auditory hallucinations do not come from another world. It is the fear in ANGEL's heart, and the fear comes from the social suppression of homosexuality. ANGEL couldn't get out of the prison set for him deep in his heart. Not only did he imprison his soul, but at the same time, the pain he imposed on himself was also torturing NENE, who loved him deeply. The two men living in the same room are "close to the end of the world", a step away like a thousand miles away. The male protagonist NENE had to find lust and physical comfort from prostitutes or public toilets. In the movie, there is a monologue that NENE can't help feeling in front of a woman: I have a brother, his name is Angel, he is my only relative, and he always follows me. He needs me to take care of him, this stupid boy! ... He knows me as if I was born to him. He knows what I want and what I want to do. ...I want to take good care of him, but now I find it difficult to do well. Because, he suddenly... (At this moment, his voice sounds a little choked) You know, he is not in good shape right now. I couldn't hear the promise when I talked to him, he always said that he heard some strange sounds. ...No, he is not sick, I know, he is not crazy, I don't know what those voices are saying to him. But sometimes I think it would be great if he could also hear me talking to him. ... Maybe, I am really a fool, I don't understand his heart. Damn me. ...God, I don't ask for anything. I just want to do anything for him, even if I die. NENE's emotional monologue is as clear and innocent as his eyes. When he rescued the injured ANGEL in the storm of life and death, and the two men hugged tightly, the heavy rain was like a majestic symphony played for them by the world. I often think that NENE, who has a majestic gaze, is like the son of the sun. His body is full of fiery and vigorous vitality; and the sad ANGEL in his gaze should come from the moon. The feminine temperament hidden in his heart is suppressed. ANGEL’s self-expression disorder is like the volatility of the moon. ANGEL needs NENE's rescue, but it also needs self-liberation. NENE's temperament is similar to Banderas in "Law of Desire". Both men are as handsome and dazzling as the sun god. The difference is that Banderas, the son of a noble family, has a little more bohemian and prodigal feelings than NENE. And the gangster NENE is a little more calm and introverted temperament. However, in the face of the passionate emotions in their hearts, both of them showed a kind of bold and bold courage, which also reminds me of JACK who dedicated his life to love in "Brokeback Mountain". 2. The love of men, the burning paradise Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" makes men's same-sex love reborn in the broad embrace of Brokeback Mountain. Similarly, "Law of Desire" and "Flaming Coins" explore a road of love that breaks through the commonplace. Compared with the love between men and women of the opposite sex, men's love seems to yearn for pure and wild nature, and there is an unstoppable horse running in their blood. They are more likely to use their lives to exchange for that dreamlike paradise under the call of their inner passions, just like the "dream"-like deep picture shown in "Brokeback Mountain" in the embrace of the vast nature.
Dream is the detachment of reality, or the escape of reality and sublimation. Its essence is simple, not disturbed by human thoughts, perceptual, and it is also the instinct of life itself. Therefore, JACK in "Broke Arms Mountain" can use his life and effort to protect the symbol of the soul of his lover, while Banderas in "Law of Desire" would rather use his life to exchange the last moment around his lover. "Flaming Coins" burns the sincere and innocent love between men into a raging fire that illuminates the darkness. Because the love of men is inevitable, to a certain extent, transparent, insightful, and the dual dedication of body and soul. The power of this kind of love can even cause two men to sacrifice and self to each other. destroy. The famous American poet Ginsburg claimed that his same-sex love is serious, noble and full of rose colors. He said, we meet each other. Make a promise. He can possess me. my thoughts. My body and anything I know. I can also possess him. Everything he knows and all his flesh. We must dedicate ourselves to each other. Therefore, we regard each other as our own wealth, we can do whatever we want, do learning or have sex. In a sense, they even explore each other until they reach the mysterious "X" together, so that the two mingled souls are revealed.
Ginsberg’s words can be confirmed in gay movies. For example, the two comrades imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps in the British movie "The Unbearable Feelings of Life" can enter the imaginary orgasm by just using eye contact; the gay in the Hong Kong movie "The More Fallen Heroes" Leng Sen (Fang Zhongxin) has always been by the side of his straight brother Chen Jinhong, who is in trouble. This pair of brothers can achieve physical integration by smoking a cigarette. Ginsberg believes that this kind of tacit understanding and correspondence between men is not available between the opposite sex. Because of this, in "Burning Coins in Flames", the woman who can't get NENE's love finally chooses to betray. From that woman's point of view, what she can't get can't be let others get. But NENE would rather choose to give up his life and stay with ANGEL. Although the two men were besieged by the rain of bullets from the police, they regarded death as home. After exchanging the most precious deep kiss, they longed for the heroic death and died well.
In the last moments of life, ANGEL could not hear any admonition from God. Between God and gay people, he chose his lover. And NENE, who was unfortunately shot, has such a peaceful and content smile in ANGEL's arms. It is enough to be able to walk into another world hand in hand with his beloved person in this life!
Similarly, at the end of "Law of Desire", when Banderas used his volcanic eruption torrent to awaken homosexual lovers, the two men also entered a unique world of their own at the same time. Although the four wild police lights flickered and everyone's eyes were full of voices, they were no one else, and they didn't know that they belonged only to their inner world in the kiss at the last moment of their lives. That world is far away from ice and fire, the two tides of desire are heated to boiling by themselves, love pure, safe and content in each other's bodies. Because what they want is a firework that burns in a flash, and they are willing to face the entire silence of the universe for this. Their love belongs to the distant and transparent heaven, which blooms like flowers in the invisible world.
