I believe that no matter how pure movie fans are, they must have seen a lot of sex scenes .
There are commercial films, and there are more in literary films.
Regardless of whether it is a finishing touch or a superfluous function, bed scenes are the best and most eye-catching form of expression in film and television dramas .
But have you ever seen a movie where the whole movie talks about sex scenes ?
On the Chessel beach
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Ian McEwan , Britain's most telling literary master .
Even if you haven't heard of his name, you should have heard of his most famous "torture"- "Atonement" .
The original author personally wrote the screenplay, which is not the most attractive place for me.
What attracted me most in this film was the leading actress- Saoirse Ronan .
From the black-bellied loli in "Atonement" , the sweet girl in "Lovely Bones" , to the dessert chef in "Budapest Hotel" , from the young man in "Brooklyn" to "Byrd" The straightforward girl in "Miss" ...
She is definitely the one who can act the most among British actresses born in the 90s.
Of course, the hero of this film is not weak.
Billy Hall , the star of BBC's new version of "The Prosecution Witness", also played soy sauce in "Dunkirk."
What did this talented British team shoot?
A wedding night in the bridal chamber of a newlyweds.
The whole film is telling stories around a sex scene, with rich foreplay, intense climax, and long staying power.
Seeing this, the old driver don't rush to get a tissue.
Because this is a tragedy caused by disharmony in sexual life!
This long sex scene can be called the most embarrassing one in movie history!
How awkward is it? What an embarrassment?
Please listen to Xiaoying slowly tell you.
The story of the movie begins with a newlywed couple, Edward and Florence 's hotel suite.
Tonight is that big day. When the two of them were you and me, there was a rough knock on the door.
Two clumsy waiters came to deliver the dinner.
Before that, they had just knocked over the red wine and mixed it with some water.
But Edward did not drink it out , so facing the young couple, the two waiters had no respect at all, behaved rudely, and burst into laughter in the hallway after taking the tip.
I had a good dinner, but the atmosphere was not very pleasant at first.
During the meal, Florence said he wanted to go outside later, but Edward didn't think so at all.
Boys should all understand that a spring night is worth a thousand dollars .
The two argued for a while, and then decided to stay in the room and do what they should do.
But goose, the problem is coming, both of them are at the same time , and they are quite nervous in the face of this important event.
For a while, the zipper can't be opened, and for a while, I rush to take off the stockings...
Then I struggled with posture for a long time.
As the bridegroom, Edward was anxious, and quickly stripped himself down to his shirt, and then...
Can't find the location , eh.
Even though he was nervous, Florence was slowly leading the right direction with his hands.
But for the male protagonist, it was really exciting to get this experience for the first time -with a few groans, the bridegroom was... finished .
Alas, this sex scene is complete.
How can you make a whole movie so fast and so awkward?
In fact, in every process of this sex scene, the process of their original love is interspersed .
When I was in love, it was not awkward at all, it was all sweet! sweet! sweet!
The protagonist Edward is a cool boy who likes to listen to electronic rock and also like to study history.
Florence, the hostess, is a lady who likes to listen to classical music and a string quartet.
Two people who seem to have little intersection, but fell in love at first sight by coincidence .
One day Edward got a first-level degree in history , and he was very excited, but no one shared his joy with him.
Panicked, he ran to the city in one breath, drank and wandered around, and came to an anti-nuclear war preaching conference.
At the preaching meeting, he saw Florence who was handing out flyers at a glance, Florence also saw him at a glance, and took the initiative to talk to him.
Edward told her about getting his degree, and received gentle and sincere appreciation from the other party.
As a result, the two began to chat, and their feelings slowly warmed up.
One is a lonely boy who needs affirmation and listening, and the other is a traditional girl who needs freshness and vitality. The personality is simply perfect.
In the eyes of a girl, he is the most different existence in her routine life.
In the eyes of boys, she is a gush of water in his dull life.
Dating, hugs, kisses, and all the things in love follow the process of a normal couple. You can be said to be a fairy partner.
However, after the most embarrassing bridal festivities in history, the girl fled to the beach with shame, and the boy became angry and took advantage of the situation to complain.
The panicked Florence made the proposal that "you can sleep with someone else after you get married ."
The furious Edward condemned "you are indifferent . "
They had a big fight on Chesil Beach, broke up, and ended the marriage that lasted only 6 hours.
This pair of Bi people who were messed up by the first night, is the worst sex education?
Edward may not have one, but Florence has done a lot of homework before marriage and has done his best to mentally prepare.
Even if it doesn't go well for the first time, the two can still run in slowly. Why did they break up?
In fact, under their sweet passion, there has long been an irreparable contradiction, lying in ambush like a time bomb.
The class gap.
Although Edward is cool, his family is not cool at all.
Country house, inconvenient transportation.
A mother who is crazy about art, she runs naked when she doesn't agree; a stressed father has never stretched her brows.
Two twin sisters who are gloomy and reticent, stay home all the year round.
And Florence , is in fact the standard of greenhouse flowers, otherworldly fairy.
Born in a wealthy family in Kochi, his mother liked to talk about politics at the dinner table, his father opened a "high-tech" factory, and a younger sister who had a personality similar to his own.
When she was 13 years old, when she bought a train ticket, she had to practice like Shakespeare's lines. After successfully buying it, she felt that she had grown up and she was a member of society.
Florence is the popular perfect wife in Edward's house.
Go to the hall, go to the kitchen, and even the most difficult mother-in-law will chat with her about art with a smile.
Edward's father saw the laughing family and only said one word to his son: Hurry up and marry this girl!
Edward is a much-rejected "hillie" in Florence's home.
Florence's mother once complained directly to her friends about how soiled her prospective son-in-law is, while Florence's father has always been concerned about the man's family background.
The differences between the growth process and cultural understanding of the two finally broke out on the day of their wedding.
If it is an arranged marriage, it is understandable.
But they are freely in love, deeply in love with each other, even if there are irreconcilable contradictions, it will take a few years to explode.
It's like this on the wedding night, as for? ——This is the main reason why many people give bad reviews to this movie .
But in light of the background of the story, this film definitely deserves 8 points.
The novel "On Chesil Beach" was published in 2007, but the background of the story happened in 1962 .
This is the eve of the release of " Mrs. Chatterley's Lover" and the popularity of the Beatles. It is called "the last age of innocence" .
For the British who have experienced that era personally, this is a special era of love and cruelty- too much innocence and too many taboos.
At the beginning of the novel "On the Beach of Chessel", Ian McEwan wrote:
They live in an age when it is impossible to gossip about sexual troubles.
Looking at it this way, it's actually quite understandable.
Don't underestimate the pressure of an era on young people , let alone such sensitive things, such sensitive young people.
Taboos cause ignorance, and ignorance brings misunderstandings.
Worst of all, the heroine still has a childhood shadow of being harassed by her father.
In fact, if you break through the objective class gaps and unprepared sex, this couple can be regarded as true soul mates.
Although it seems that these are not enough to mention, it is more like a pale joke.
But under this background of the times, before fate, the powerless struggle of young souls in "little things" is not a tragedy in every age?
This movie, written by the original author himself , cleverly combines the first night's foreplay, warming up, climax, ending and emotional acquaintance, passion, contradiction, and breakup .
Coupled with the acting skills of the two young starring actors, the sweetness and warmth of the love period, the ignorance and embarrassment of the first night of the wedding, and the outbreak of the conflict on the beach at the end are all presented quite wonderfully.
Sister Ronan’s blue eyes are so gentle that they drip out of water.
I thought it was an aphrodisiac , but I thought it was candy in the middle , but I didn't expect to see poison in the end .
Is the heroine really cold?
She later remarried and gave birth to 3 children.
Is the hero really bad?
He later became a hippie who embraced the left and the right.
At the end, what made me cry the most fiercely was not the smile that looked exactly like "You are on stage, I am off stage" in "City of Philharmonic".
But on Chesil Beach, two young people in love are drifting away coldly.
Regarding this paragraph, there is a commentary on the text of the novel that comes to my heart:
"They (Edward and Florence) are trapped on an isolated island. The island is the size of a bed. The sea that holds up this island is as vast as life."
"On the Beach of Cheser" Translated Postscript by Huang Yuning
Perhaps their feelings, like the bottle of red wine mixed with water, are not as good as they feel themselves.
Maybe they just turned the blade in the wrong direction that night, which should have pierced the sharpness of the times, and finally hurt the opponent and themselves.
Perhaps this movie is like the cobblestone road on the beach. Only when you walk up, the feeling under your feet is the most real.
