Some tangled emotions about Equus.
It was originally because of Richard Burton's name that I received this film, but unfortunately the disc was spent, and I was seeing the young man embracing a horse under hypnosis, like a lover.
It took about two years to find a better version.

This is a quasi-psychological thriller about a young man who was bewitched by religion and murdered a horse, out of extreme love rather than extreme hatred, or extreme emotion irrelevant to love and hate, blinding six horses in the eyes. The horse is too handsome and silent, a suffering saint, his eyes are redemption, his back is salvation. So the young man indulged in it. When he was a child, his mother read the poems of the Bible to him, like love words, just in the middle of the night, the thick grass grows, and the lush mane is galloping.

There is a test that people who like to ride horses seek sexual pleasure. The puritan-like teenager only once poured out to the psychiatrist, the naked body was attached to the cool flank of the horse, and he conceived for himself a perfect orgasm away from men and women.

Equus, a Latin word, equivalent to Horse in English, has two wonderful letters U. When pronounced, the mouth is smiling, so it is crazy and obsessed.

Richard Burton's Dr. Dysart is a bit weak, probably living a luxurious life after marriage with Yu Po. He began to bald, of medium build, shoulders hunched over, slightly hunched over, shy of a fat alcoholic belly, shouting lines loudly and vaguely, and taking great care not to let the juvenile exceed his height.

This doctor exchanged his secret for the boy's forbidden dream, and put himself in it, which was not worth it. An old wife who respects each other like a guest, a boring marriage without children because she is afraid of taking on it, comes and goes to listen to some normal and abnormal people shaking off her privacy... This is his life, a life he always wants to escape.

When Equus came out of the boy's babble, the doctor found that it was a tantalizing word. The thought of taking an oath in front of the temple of Zeus with a like-minded partner also came to mind. His spiritual home was filled with ancient Greek philosophers, and those names inscribed in history, especially the gods who watched the mortal world like stars, all accompanied by an Equus, an Equus with two U, who slapped him like a loud slap face.

Old Burton no longer had the heroic appearance of the general Mark Anthony, he only had an air of bluff. So Dr. Dysart's brows are always drooping. He stared at the boy from the bottom up, unable to say who he was saving.

Or, take off the crown of thorns from the crown of Christ and put it on yourself with your own hands.

Equus quotes

  • Martin Dysart: Mr. Strang, exactly how informed would you judge your son to be about sex?

    Frank Strang: I don't know.

    Martin Dysart: You didn't actually instruct him yourself?

    Frank Strang: Not in so many words. No.

    Martin Dysart: Did you Mrs. Strang?

    Dora Strang: Well, I spoke a little. Yes. I had to.

    Martin Dysart: What sort of things did you tell him? I'm sorry if this is embarrassing.

    Dora Strang: I told him the biological facts. But, I also told him what I believed. That sex is not just a biological matter; but, a spiritual one as well. If God willed, he would fall in love one day. Sugar? That his task was to prepare himself for the most important happening of his life. And after that, if he was lucky, he would come to know a higher love still.

  • Frank Strang: Don't you be la-de-da with me, young man!
