Calm daily life, dark tide surging streets (transitions achieved by ticking background music), the last second is a foreign film of wine opera, the next second starts give a ride, this movie is stubbornly clichéd The stereotypes once made me feel at a loss.
However, after Nolan confessed to his father that he had hidden his sexuality for more than 40 years, the film began to exert its strength, and the previous rigidity and deliberateness seemed to be self-contained to some extent (the plot setting and plot rhythm are still the biggest problems. , The film seems to take Nolan’s life in the first 40 years of life, and concentrates all the conflicts in the period of time presented in the lens).
Two touches. Leo is distracted and overwhelmed by Nolan's lust and asexual tenderness. Leo, who is already familiar with the cruelty and cruelty of the world, would rather have mechanical sex than be embraced by others. At this moment, I feel very sorry for this child named Leo. Since Normal People, the word "unlovable" has been lingering in my mind. How many people have lost the ability to love themselves and others in the face of the desolation and cruelty of the world. Why did Marianne choose abusive sexual relationships? Why did Leo choose a soliciting industry subject to pimps? This has never been as simple as "Life is not easy, you can't help it". Maybe I was born not worthy of being better, maybe my body is the only self-control I have, maybe only in sex and violence, I can get rid of the insensitivity of the world...
His wife Joy knew Nolan's secret from the beginning, but she still married him without hesitation. She married him because she loved him, because she loved the illusion of literature, because she diden't wanna be in the real world. Philip Rose said that literature put him in a difficult position, and only literature can get him out of it ("Literature got me into this mess and literature is going to have to get me out of it."). People who are addicted to the gentle country of literature must have had all kinds of illusions of escape from the world, but the so-called illusions are destined to not escape the fate of collapse and fragmentation. It's like forty years of appearances and spirits will eventually come to an end. So where does literature eventually lead us to?
Maybe Joy and Leo, who seem to be different from each other, have been doing the same thing all the time-to escape the world and live.
