"Shelly" "Shelly" is far less lucky than "Little Lolita"

The long-lasting vitality of countless celebrities and everyone in their writings is that apart from seeing the real living environment and leaving a living coordinate system established by literature and art for history with a sense of responsibility, its greater charm may lie in the author’s use The exclusive thought, the ever-drying fountain of spiritual desire, even if it is intercepted and buried by time, it still exists, and it is only waiting to be absorbed by the conscientious.

Check out the life and resume of the famous French female writer Sidoni Gabriel Camelot, and you will get an exceptionally avant-garde, magnificent and dazzling sitcom. The story about herself is by no means inferior to her romantic and lingering romance novels.

The love for Camelot’s writing comes from "Qiqi", and she also pays tribute to her persistent artistic talent and her charm in the French literary world. But for me, being keen on gossip is inevitable, and even when I read Camelot's words, my imagination about her private life completely surpassed the fragrance of words.

Three marriages, and a homosexuality that has been maintained for four years despite the turmoil of public opinion, has achieved her four mysterious transformations. From the ordinary to the great, a little girl who has been educated by the world will grow into an independent, rebellious, and independent new female representative. With a dazzling halo on her head, anyone who receives this kind of love will definitely be grateful for the wisdom given to her by life.

At the age of 19, he married his 15-year-old husband, Willie. He was well-known and powerful at the time, but he was not kind. All four parts of "Clodina" written by Camelot's essays and graffiti were stolen by Willy, published privately, and affixed with his own name. It is said that he also forced Camelot to be "happy" as his literary shooter. The story was not a comedy at the beginning, the relationship between the two deteriorated and eventually parted ways.

Camelot then began his independent creation. Before meeting her second husband, Camelot wandered around the gay scene for a period of gay sex, kissing an actress on the stage of the theater, causing riots, and her play has been banned ever since. Camelot married Baron Henry, the editor-in-chief of the Morning News, at the age of 40, and had a daughter. Soon her marriage broke up again. Regarding the relationship between her and her daughter, she described herself as a terrible and indifferent mother. This is a fact. Her debt to her daughter has become the most regrettable regret while she is still dead.

When Camelot was 63 years old, he met Maurice Goodkate, who was 16 years younger than him. The two got married. The young middle-aged Morris accompanied Camelot to the end of his life. The last marriage is obviously happy, and this period is also a golden period when she constantly breaks through herself and constantly presents her masterpieces.

I personally think that a brief introduction to Camelot’s private life is of great benefit to watching the film "Shirley" (2009) adapted from Camelot's novel of the same name "Shirley" (1920). Camelot's novels always bear the mark of frank autobiography. Even if they are just a little bit of a splash, they show no temptation. This style of writing cannot make readers get rid of the author and forget the author.

It is not a deliberate comparison, but it is natural to think of Balzac's "The Prosperity and Decline of the Communicative Flower", both of which tell the story of a woman in a brothel, with completely different moods. "Shelly" obviously avoided the miserable atmosphere, took a completely opposite perspective, and introduced a petty bourgeoisie that interacts with the upper class left and right. Just like the roster listed when the movie started. From the end of the 19th century until before the First World War, this period was called the "beautiful period" in Europe. What a long experience, the dome of the InterContinental Carlton Hotel in Cannes was originally designed according to the breasts of the Spanish maiko La belle otero. This "great" queen of festivities has been the lover of at least six European monarchs and inspired men to act for her. There was a "wave" of suicide, and Otero, who was 97 years old, died of a heart attack in France in 1965. Such a magnificent and extravagant opening infused the movie "Shelly" with vivid commercials. This is an audio-visual sketch that has no time to take care of other things and only talks about the love of the world.

Age seems to be a coincidence, perhaps an arranged coincidence. Shelley decided to end his life as a drunkard, he was 19 years old this year. As a generation of famous prostitutes, the hand-held dragon ball, wealthy family background, and fascinating lifestyle, let him step into the stage of lewdness prematurely. This generalized life is an important process in shaping Shelly’s personality, but it is not the focus of this film. The key lies in all the changes and growth after he saw "Nunu".

"Nunu" is also called Leia, Shelly's godmother, and a fellow sister who once fought with Shelly's mother. Now, the stripes on the neck and the loose skin all revealed the sorrow of her absence. But she is still beautiful, and in public, she is still like a blooming flower, not a place. Her beautiful past did not leave a trace on the film. In order to merge the lives of the two people, she saves a beautiful story. The film begins in the place where love breeds.

Xie Li fell in love with Nunu, who was like a mother. Nunu truly became Xiao Xie Li's lover for six years, until Xie Li was forced to marry the daughter of the rich family, in order to strengthen the family's reputation and wealth. Life changed from sweetness to pain and torture, and love also hid from the sun into the darkness. Don't know whether to blame Shelly's mother? My question is too naive. Most women who sell their bodies for a living will not understand love. Even if the old prostitute fulfilled her son and old sister, this love might disappear in a more cruel break, it would be better to leave a perfect regret.

In fact, the plot is not complicated, it can be explained in a few words, but the story is very heavy, I hope to interpret it in two ways.
From Shelley's perspective, this "end of no disease" love can be seen as a trace of the fall of life. For Shelly, life is thinner than love. To be precise, his personality lacks other powers to bear life. This has existed as a feminine virtue for a long period of time. It is obviously unreasonable for it to grow in a man's body, so it turns into a tragedy in the drama. On the contrary, it exists in a woman's body, which is instinct. To be submissive, to abandon oneself, to be parasitic under a powerful species, is a tragedy that must be performed like a comedy. The character traits created by Camelot's transposition very cunningly reflect her proposition on the freedom and autonomy of women's rights.

Nu Nuin couldn't bear the reality of Shelly's marriage, and escaped sadly during Shelly's honeymoon. After learning that Shelly had moved out of her newly married home, he returned with joy. During Shelly's unplanned life journey, he was forced to meditate alone. Although it was realistic, it was absolutely cruel. It seems to be an inevitable process of self-lost. It seems scary, but it is very precious. The ending did not give him a chance to mature and grow up. He may have missed the opportunity to grow up long ago. He lost his way and chose to die, and choose to disappear completely, which has a deep meaning.

Next, from Nunu's standpoint, write a eulogy for this unethical love. I remember Mr. Mo Yan once wrote in "White Cotton", "Most of the first lovers of young people are women older than him. The children are half old and not young, and the green apricots are half-ripe, sour and sweet. They need both maternal love and sex. An older woman is just the same. Second term.” Of course, this is to pave the way for the story of "White Cotton", but it is more or less taken from life. In the movie, Nunu finally reviewed herself and tried her best to restore her great image. She made the most selfish mistake, but this mistake is the only way. It is almost believed that she led Shelly into a desperate situation. When Shelly was looking for the shadow of "maternal love", Nunu used this as a bait to design young children. As a result, she might not have thought that Shelly was completely complete. "Child", he has never grown up, nor is he capable of growing up.

There is no meaning to blame Nunu, this woman is also a symbol of tragedy. Irrelevant love, year-end love, no matter what it is, Nunu regards it as true love, as the soil for the meaning of life. When the soil disappears, the meaning of life naturally ceases to exist. There are no big slogans or big slogans to shout here, just love trouble. Fortunately, Camelot has not been treated badly in reality, and her brother and sister's love for cultivation has become a positive result.

The end of the film is a little hurried, perhaps the follow-up narration broke the aesthetic mood, think of Shelly's hesitant back, and see his duckweed-like erratic future. Nunu looked directly at herself in the mirror, her face was old, her eyes were old, her heart was also old, and her way forward was also old. I saw this.

This is where I like Camelot’s words. I can blame you for everything you don’t want to see, and you can also like everything that others despise. In this disturbing red dust, a gust of wind can take away the past, the wrong and right in love, It doesn't matter whether it's divided, it doesn't make any sense.

Finally, I praised Michelle Pfeiffer, who wore the exquisite classical Chinese clothes on her, and she was not blind at all. Not only deduced the unique charm of the half-old milfs, but also did not lose a trace of noble and elegant temperament. Coupled with proficient acting skills, Rupert Friend was easily brought into the play, and there was no gap in the cooperation of the two.

Chéri quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: He was unable to suppress a sense that he had been able to escape from something. That he was a free man again. A feeling he eventually came to realize was entirely misguided. It was many years before he understood that both of them had been quite unjustly punished. Léa for being born so many years before him, and Chéri for having failed to grasp that Léa was the only woman he would ever be able to love. And once he was settled in his mind that this was the case, he took out his old service revolver, and put a bullet in his brain.

  • Lea de Lonval: You came back here and you found an old woman. Yes, you found an old woman. Don't cry. Why are you crying? I'm so grateful to you. Were you really in love with me? Did you really think I was such a good person? If I had been a truly good person, I'd have made a man of you instead of thinking of nothing but your pleasure and my happiness. I wouldn't have kept you all to myself. Look at me. You're right. The qualities you lack, I expect it is my fault. But 30 years of easy living does make you very vulnerable. So no, I never did talk to you about the future. Forgive me. I loved you as if we were going to die the same day. I carried you in my heart for such a long time. I forgot you were going to have to carry your own burdens. A young wife. Perhaps even a child. And so you're going to suffer. You're going to miss me. And you're going to have to try to find enough wisdom and tolerance not to cause suffering to others. The thing is, now you've had a taste of youth. It's never satisfying, but you'll always want to go back for more. You must go. I love you. But it's too late. So get dressed. And go away now.
