Simone is a young teacher who has won the St. Teresa Award. He lectures on literature and poetry in the school. In this girls' school where she had spent her youth, she was accompanied by others' youth in a peaceful and secure life. Diane Gaidry has a very good grasp of the expression of this woman who has young and hurt and seems to be sensitive and vulnerable by nature. The story unfolded from her frowning brows, and her eyes were full of dodge and hesitation. One can imagine how deeply uneasy and fearful she is buried in this apparent tranquility. Once Annabelle appeared, the extremely discordant makeup had undoubtedly heralded the destruction of the order of life that Simone had been deliberately creating and working hard to maintain. This charming freshman was once famous on campus for his rebellious behavior, so Simone had to give her special care and discipline under the arrangement of the principal. Through book donation and encouragement, faith and betrayal, discovery and exposure, discipline and resistance, care and temptation, the feelings cannot be stopped in the ignorant. She couldn't ignore her, she couldn't help attracting her attention. The film seems to imply that Annabelle is not the only one in the girls’ school attracted by Simone’s unique sad temperament, and when she boldly interprets the sinking as a confession of feelings of love in Simone’s new interpretation of Whitman’s poem, Simone's willpower was only disintegrated by her. Under Annabelle's bold pursuit, she has been deeply locked in her heart for many years and confided out passionately. In the end, the singing of the sea breeze next to the beach house sang the truth that Simone was abandoned by the girl in her precious photo, the lover of her youth. Sadness and sorrow are coming like a raging sea, so what? The self in reality is so small, we have to compromise. The story didn't explain too much about the reason for the departure of Simone's lover. The barriers between Simone and Annabelle have already explained everything. At this time, love reaches fusion, and it is inevitable to be broken.
Watching this film is easy to think of Mai Wanxin's movie "Butterfly" on the same subject. Like Simone, the butterfly played by He Chaoyi is a female teacher with a stable and prosperous life. The sudden appearance of Xiaoye (played by Tianyuan) in the supermarket changed her life. Die’s adherence to a stable reality is as weak as Simone. They have tried to maintain a seemingly stable relationship with the men around them, but found that the harder they try to escape, the more memories that emerge in front of them make them nowhere to escape. . In "Butterfly", the former lovers Zhenzhen are also classmates from the girls' school era. Their stories flicker in the consciousness of the butterfly, projected in the speculation about the black and white photo of Simone's smiling girl while watching the film. The difference is that "Loving Annabelle" does not tell too much about Simone's past, but uses all the pen and ink on Simone and Annabelle. Under the background of Western Christian culture, the obstacles of their love affair are further extended beyond the secular. In the film, Simone’s complex emotions for the cross necklace were shown more than once in various scenes in the film, and the Christian school’s intolerance to Annabelle’s belief in Buddhism implied the prohibition of the relationship between the two. Like "Loving Annabelle", "Butterfly" is not only about a pair of teacher-student lesbians, but also about the lives of ordinary women. In the process of laying out the story, it smudges the lives of many other women, struggling in love and desire. The young pure fantasy dreams and the powerful cruel reality sink. They reflect the situation and emotional entanglement of the female group on this issue outside the main story.
Forbidden love seems to have a natural eye-catching charm. The love entanglement between a female teacher and a 15-year-old male student who was popular on the Internet a few days ago is an example. It's hard to imagine the reaction of the boy's parents. Although it can also be agreed that true love can cross the age limit, if you look at this event from a specific personal perspective, it feels that it is not so pure because of its hidden ulterior motives and use it to create momentum. Fortunately, the women in the movie are always struggling with inner torture. Through the director's brushstrokes, the problems they face are deep into the self-examination, so that the problems have universal truth and purity. .
The emotions in "Loving Annabelle" are delicate and exquisite, eliminating the power to confront, and expressing the inner struggle to grow, and love without being able to be this fatal sorrow. The lens seems to admire the sun, there is a faint melodious atmosphere, if there is music, it seems like nothing. The most unforgettable thing is Simone's expression, sad brows, and the steady and forbearing corners of his mouth. At this time, a film suitable for one person to watch quietly. The deep meaning of the details should not be disturbed, and love, the love that can transcend everything to face the self, is condensed in the beautiful love because of the prohibition of desire, hidden behind every lens, and requires quiet appreciation and careful taste.
