According to the timeline of the film, the story is basically composed of these three parts:
at the beginning, Ventura embarked on an expedition to escape from himself, and went on an adventure to get away from Pila. Aurora said, "No matter how big the world is, you will never be able to get out of your heart." In the end, he jumped into the pond with crocodiles without hesitation. He knew that he couldn't escape, and the crocodile officially witnessed the two people's first acquaintance. Of course, crocodiles are good hunters, and they will pull amorous people into the pond of desire and drown them.
Then, the camera pulled back to reality, and it turned out that it was all just a movie within a movie, and the title "Paradise Lost" appeared shortly after. "Paradise Lost" was originally a long narrative poem by the British poet Milton, describing how Satan tempted Eve to steal the fruits of good and evil and be expelled and lost the story of Paradise. The use of such a title here is also in line with real life. Pila left Africa and lost the land forever. And this kind of loss of happiness has a strong spiritual tendency. It is not because of the actual material poverty, but the expulsion of the spirit. This expulsion is that we lose contact with the land, just like cutting the umbilical cord from the mother, the pleasure is no longer. . And this unhappiness isn't just Aurora, her good neighbor Pyra, the maid Santa and her former lover all lived in this wasteland until Aurora's death, Ventura's conversation brings back memories - That old forbidden love.
Except for some background introduction, the story is very simple, Ventura fell in love with Aurora, who was married and pregnant, and Aurora loved him deeply, and the two knew that this relationship should not happen, but they also fell in love. the deeper. Until Aurora accidentally killed Wen's friend and was recovered by her husband, the two separated. The two tacitly agreed that they would not see each other for the rest of their lives.
In ordinary eyes, this love is taboo. This kind of extramarital affair is about to go to the moral gallows, and people seem to be accustomed to raising the big gun of ethics and pouring out all the bullets, although usually they don't know what the hell is going on. I think this taboo love touches the bottom line of love. The bottom line of love is marriage, or the imprisoning power brought by marriage. Marriage may be necessary for social existence, but it is definitely taboo for love. The old nerd, Kant, gave a notorious definition of marriage: Marriage is a contract between a man and a woman to legally use the tools of each other's sexual organs. Love is usually present at the signing and is often absent for a lifetime afterwards. When marriage is defined as a covenant, it goes from a collective force of attractive love to a covenant for purpose. And because it is a contract, there may be various breaches of contract, so many morals and laws are designed to provide some kind of protection for this contract, which is really sad!
The love that touches marriage obviously causes the parties to breach the contract, so they will pay the price and punish future generations to abide by the agreement. This is taboo, you have to remember! No, forget it, I'd rather go to a prostitute than get married! Old Kant said so.
