When I watched this movie, I always felt that it was very familiar. I've never seen it, but it's familiar. To use Brother Bao's words: "Although I haven't seen it before, I look at Mian Shan. Even if it's an old acquaintance in my heart, it's okay to just see each other far away today." At that time, I didn't know why this happened. It was only later that I remembered that many of the clips in "Butterfly" were simply copied from then on.
Because I watched "Butterfly" first, the impact was not very big. (Because of this, I am extremely angry with "Butterfly".) As a predecessor's classic work, it is inevitable that it will not be imitated by future generations.
The film is very bold. The viewing angle is also unique. A seminary teacher, a circus dancer, identity alone is enough to generate a story.
For Camille, falling in love with Patra isn't just a moral struggle, it's a betrayal of her own beliefs. All morality can be broken, even the law can be ignored. But it is impossible for a person to betray his faith.
Camille's struggle is that she doesn't know if her love is allowed. Asking a Catholic to admit that he is gay is tantamount to converting an Arab to Christ. Camille worked hard to restrain, restrain, restrain. Repeatedly snarky or snarky words to hurt Patra, hoping to push her away. But he couldn't suppress the fanatical love in his heart, and went to her again and again. Struggling between "love" and "faith" painfully.
Unlike my accusation of Butterfly in Butterfly, I can understand Camille's pain. Because faith is the highest and cannot be betrayed. Many people can lay down their lives, but have difficulty betraying their faith. The same should be true of our attitude towards faith.
The ML shots of the two are so beautiful! Never seen such a unique approach. On the one hand, the actors of trapeze are flying and flipping, and on the other hand, under the dazzling red velvet, the unresolved lovers are lingering in love. Just like dreams and reality, struggle and sinking, desire and restraint, it vividly reflects Camille's complex and uneasy heart. Love can be desperate, but faith is even more powerless to resist. For their ending, I never thought it would be a comedy.
I don't know what should I do when my love and faith conflict?
Fortunately, no.
Fortunately, my love is my highest belief!
