I still clearly remember that when she just turned eighteen, in order to prepare for the exam and poems with the girl in the front seat, she finished saying the phrase "Send of a scholar, you can say yes" and then looked at me and waited for me to continue. There was resentment in the sarcasm. At that time, I thought, I will remember this sentence for many, many years, maybe for a lifetime. Years later, when I saw the movie ending that Alex quickly caught up with the new man, I suddenly remembered this sentence. At the end of the credits time, I silently recalled from my seat, the feeling of holding a smile when watching the movie disappeared, because I suddenly realized that I was also ridiculous back then and was no better than the two protagonists in the movie.
I have always felt that many love movies are prepared for people with emotional dissatisfaction in reality, so one by one is filmed true, good and beautiful, but fake; and the intensified domestic pursuit of "one-to-one" pathological pursuit has made me return to feudal society. Illusion. Even though these two types of works are regarded as dross by me, when I look back, I still have been affected in a subtle way-the film uses a large length of depiction of Alex’s jealousy and the pain after David’s death, leading me to acquiesce that Alex is in the ending. Said "; However, the plot was just the opposite, which surprised me, but immediately understood the meaning of the film:
The person is dead and the contract is completed, why not turn it over. The living is not worth living for, let alone a dead person.
The motif of the film is actually quite cliché: "The contradiction between love and free personality" (David) & "The exclusivity and possession of love" (Alex) have been interpreted countless times in different versions of love stories, such as [Unbearable Life Thomas and Theresa in "The Lightness", such as [British Patient]. 85. The treatment in this aspect is obviously superficial, but this superficiality is not enough to be a defect, because the teenager itself is superficial: love begins with the sexual attraction of the other person’s decent face and body, ride a roller coaster and play together. Playing bumper cars, fighting, and going to bed can be upgraded to be like glue, and then the freshness passes and it is bored-in Alex's words, "the beginning of the end". Even his hypocritical description of the duration of the relationship between the two is accurate to the second, which aptly explains that he does not love David, but "his own fantasy." But for me, this depiction of the juvenile's xinxing is the most true. I don’t believe that love as a teenager can last a lifetime, and I don’t think it should be bound to one person for a lifetime, but this kind of love based on sexual attraction, fantasy and daily getting along is so simple and rare. Who can tell what kind of "soul resonance" love is more advanced than this?
As for the core plot of the film-"Contract", it can be said that the setting is very clever. It not only complements the character description of the two male protagonists in both directions, but also gives the film a paradoxical and joyful temperament-or even if you I don't understand it. After reading it, I will definitely remember the rare plot of "Grave Tou Dancing". From this perspective, this setting is undoubtedly a success. David’s proposal of this contract and his discourse on speed almost clarified his psychological problems and ending. It made me instinctive that he had a tendency to self-destruct very early, and the final death had the nature of deliberate revenge on Alex, just like Anna Ka Lenina’s suicide had elements of revenge against Frensky; and Alex’s insistence on this contract made me see the precious youthful mood, although the whole process that should be sad and sensational is really full of joy, and it’s true. "Can't laugh or cry". I don't know if Ou Rong made this effect deliberately, but this strange look is exactly why I decided to write something about this film. David and Alex even reminded me of Naoko and Watanabe in "Norwegian Forest", which had a profound influence on me. The former died at the age of eighteen and will always be eighteen, while the latter was determined to bring the memories of the former and firmly Stay alive.
Having mentioned so much, it can be seen that 85 is lacklustre in the overall plot, and there are shadows of others everywhere, but then again, the sorrows and joys of men and women in the world are just like that. When they were young, they went back and forth. Almost everyone was addicted to it. , Almost everyone has to learn to get out of it, and then hook up to the next one with a more mature posture like Alex at the end, except that some people turn around lightly, and some are beaten up.
