Arabian nights

I have seen "Decameron" and "Sodom" before, and I feel that Pasolini is completely "heterogeneous". Even with criticism, he was too much in wicked desires. I watched "Arab Nights" last night, this is really good.
Just looking at the computer, suddenly a shower of rain outside with hail hit the window panes, and the visibility dropped to zero. Only the water line on the window was seen. It's not like a personal room.
Later, the rain gradually weakened.
A person wears headphones, and then watches the movie happily. Pasolini is very obsessed with the body, and photographs the bodies of those young men and women healthy and joyful. However, he is very calm again, there is no exaggeration in the camera. I just like the silly smiles in his film, almost shameless-I don't know what shame is, or it should be called Wu Xie.
I like it best in that small kingdom. Sumru, who came from afar, was treated as a god-given king and wanted to marry the minister's daughter. The king, who was disguised as a man, was dressed in complicated drapes and sat in the palace. The bride asked her why she was motionless. The king took off the decoration from his head and slowly took off his large robe, revealing his daughter's body. She just stood there and laughed. The chubby baby-faced bride also covered her mouth and laughed, and promised not to reveal the secret.
And that confused man, Az, who became obsessed with a mysterious girl on his wedding day, leaving the bride's cousin aside. The cousin Azina's face was as pale as a lake under the moon, but she repeatedly helped Azina unravel the meaning of the girl's gesture and let him pursue his beloved woman. She also taught him to recite verses to that rival every day. A year later, Azina died of sorrow. She asked her last words to the woman on her deathbed: "It's better to be loyal, and it's better to be unfaithful." Azina remained indifferent. It was his lover who found a sad girl later in these verses, knew that she had passed away, and pityed her. Azna took the money his lover asked him to give Azina to repair the tomb to drink, and was abducted by a woman to become her husband. Another year, when Azina found the mysterious girl again, she was not like Azina at all, and wanted to kill him. Azina called out Azina's last request. She spared him, but castrated him in order to punish him. Azina then thought of Azina, and rushed home to hold Azina's clothes and cry bitterly.
It is also strange, why the laughter and crying here directly "pass" to my nerve endings. Seeing the silly smiles of Sumulu and the Fat Queen who had taken off their clothes, they couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Azna crying while holding Azna's clothes on the roof, I couldn't help but feel sad. Whether you cry or laugh, you don't need to go through your brain at all, you don't need value judgments, or aesthetic inspections.
Pasolini certainly wouldn't tell the story of the reunion ending. Although the main line of "Arabian Nights" Sumlu and Aladdin finally broke up and reunited, and Prince Solomon who heard the story of Az also won the trust of the princess who was plagued by nightmares. However, in the interspersed story, But there is no shortage of cruelty. The two studios that painted murals for Prince Solomon were both princes who made fun of fate. One of them unintentionally caused the death of two princesses, and the other killed a friendly boy in a dream. Since then, they gave up their glory and were willing to beg. They have been threatened by fate and cannot walk on the original truth. Think about the prince, watching the devil chop off the hands and feet of the imprisoned princess, and say "Your eyes love him too", and chop off her head. He shivered from the side, looking helplessly at the death of his lover. Pasolini is still cruel. Or the cruelty of fate, the cruelty of the world.
In the story of the prince and princess with a happy ending, the princess dreams that the male pigeon abandons the female pigeon trapped in the cage, and thus loses trust in the man. The prince asked the painter to paint a beautiful and peaceful mural on the house, in which pigeons were flying in the blue sky. The scene in the dream is just one scene of the story, but behind it is a happy ending. He led the princess to a newly decorated room and whispered beside her:
"Truth does not exist in one dream, but in many dreams."
Pasolini's fascination with poetry and his fascination with healthy body are indistinguishable. Bo Zhong, or there is too much but nothing less. The younger brother of the poet who loves the young king uttered praise in front of the young boy, and Azina's melancholy lips spit out a line of poetry. The eyes of the teenagers were joyful, and the eyes of Aziz’s lover were solemn. The verse captured the heart of beauty. Perhaps, it also predicted the danger of unknowable fate. But, don't be afraid, Sumlu is not afraid of being seen through by his subjects, and Aladdin is not afraid of blocking the road. In the end they lie on the king's bed, and when one is recognized by the other, both of them laughed hahahaha.
With a smile, what are you afraid of.

    Another strange 1970s movie, One Thousand and One Nights, full of sex organs, made me wonder, is that what the book says? ? ? Paradoxical feeling ps: Why are the people in it so stupid when they laugh?

    This is an incorrigible love fairy tale ~ So far, the trilogy of life has been completed. These trilogy are more like constructing a picture of the entire world rather than using a collection of stories to explain the so-called truth. I think the purpose of creating these trilogy is that Pasolini wants to use video sermons to get more people to identify. The world in his eyes. The degree of love of the three movies is irrelevant. Of course, if the impression is the most impressive, it must be this "One Thousand and One Nights"~
