"Little Dust" really continued the glorious footprint of the title of this series of articles "Rotten Vulgar", and was dubbed "Dali and His Lover". In fact, from the film's more focused perspective, it might be more accurate to call "Lorga and His Lover". It's a pity that Dali, with his beard curled up and his soft clock face painted, is famous all over the world, but there are far fewer people who know Lorca. ****** In 1898, Federiceo Garcia Lorca (Federiceo Garcia Lorca) was born in an excellent home in Granada, southern Spain. Although his grades were not good, he played the piano well. When he was in college, he had a soft spot for literature and began to write and publish poetry and prose. In 1919, he left his hometown and came to the capital Madrid, where he lived in the Residencia de Estudiantes boarding college known as "Oxford Cambridge in Spain". This place was the gathering place of Spanish artistic elites at that time, and Lorca made a lot of friends. Among them, a guy who loves sports and jazz, and is cynical, and Lorga got along very well, and the two became friends. This person is the future director Luis Bunuel (Luis Bunuel). When Lorca lived in Residencia until 1921, he finally waited for another protagonist-Salvador Dali (Salvador Dali). Dali). Dali has a weird personality and outstanding behavior since he was a child. When the 17-year-old Dali had long hair and moved into the boarding college with an unlit pipe, he still did not change his eyeballs. One is quiet and poetic, the other is ostentatious, with contradictory personalities but unimpeded the mutual approval and projection of two geniuses. The two gradually became inseparable, having fun together, wandering around bars and nightclubs. Once, Dali sold a painting, so when the two returned to the college, they called two taxis, one with two people sitting side by side, and the other with an empty car. It is said that this move was imitated by the children of the rich in Madrid, and it prevailed for a while. What kind of frivolous years were that! In 1925, the two returned to Dali’s home on the Mediterranean Sea together. Lorca’s personal charm and poetic talent also conquered Dali’s father and sister. The presentation of the romantic relationship between the two in the movie is focused on this paragraph. Even when the two are not together, they write frequently and affectionately. Lorca wrote "An Ode to Salvador Dali" and chanted in public "Ah, Salvador Dali with olive voice". Dali also praised Lorca, painted his portrait, wrote articles praising Lorca as Saint Sebastian, saying that his "all existence reflects the phenomena of amazing poetry." However, after the violent burning, the relationship between the two really seemed to turn into dust. Lorca suffered from Spanish affairs and actively participated in political activities, using poetry and drama to resist the dictatorship; Dalí went to Paris and was keen on fame and fortune. He believed that politics was like a cancer that swallows poetry, and called surrealism another escape. Layer meaning. Dali once wrote a long letter to Lorca, criticizing his "Gypsy Ballad Collection"-"You are not much stronger than the graphic clichés of that kind of law-abiding man". The difference between their ideals and art is becoming increasingly clear. In the relationship between the two, there is also Buñuel interspersed between them. Bunuel seems to have been keen to break up the two. In 1929, Bunuel and Dali collaborated on the pioneering surrealist film "An Andalu Dog". What is Andalu? Anyway, Lorca is from Andalusia, so Lorca’s question of "what do they mean to make this movie" in the film is not entirely groundless. It is said that when he was in Paris, Buñuel often cursed Lorca in front of Dali. However, the new alliance between Dali and Buñuel did not last long, and when they cooperated in the second "Golden Age", the two broke up. In 1935, the two met again after a lapse of seven years. At this time, Lorca was already a prominent Spanish poet and dramatist, and Dali was a successful surrealist pioneer. The two seemed to have planned to cooperate but failed, and the relationship fell to the bottom again. When the Spanish Civil War was on the verge of breaking out in 1936, Lorca insisted on returning to his hometown. He was soon arrested by the army supporting Franco. On August 18, Lorga was shot and killed at the age of 38. The tomb is still there, and there are no bones left.

****** After the two drifted away, each had a love affair. In Spain, where Catholicism is dominant, Lorca's homosexuality makes him suffer. In 1928, Lorca fell in love with the sculptor Emilio Aladren Perojo, and this romantic relationship ended in failure. There is a saying that this is also one of the reasons why Dali alienated Lorca.
In 1933, Lorca met Rafael Rodríguez Rapún, an engineering student, and the latter became his lover and personal secretary. Their love affair accompanied Lorca until the end of his life. Rapún joined the Republican army after Lorca's death, and died in battle on the fourth anniversary of Lorca's death.
Dali himself was perverse and unruly, and the lover he fell in love with was equally shocking. In 1929, Dali met Gala, who was 10 years his elder and had a husband and lover. It didn't take long for the two to fall in love. In the end, Galla became Dali's wife, muse, and manager. They spent half a century hand in hand with affection and playfulness.
In the mid-1960s, Dali met another confidante, Amenda Lear. This is a woman who can be named models, singers, actors, painters, writers and so on. She can't tell her blood, year of birth, and even her gender. It is rumored that she is a transgender person, although she is Try to deny it.
****** Lorca and Dali were once close friends, and there seems to be no controversy; but there are divergent opinions about whether it is friendship or love, and why they are becoming more and more alienated. Bunuel, who was mixed with them in Chengili, said: Lorca is more enthusiastic about Dali, but Dali is indifferent to Lorca. When Dali himself was interviewed in the 1960s, he said that Lorca had a good impression of him. He was deeply honored, but he did not accept it. However, there are clues in Dali’s earlier writings: “When I deeply felt that the provocative and passionate fireworks of Federico (that is, Lorca)’s poetry turned into uncontrollable skyrocketing flames, I, I Desperately suppress it". In his later years, he found out this old story on his own. Without the self-dissolving dust of his memoir, how could he come to the diligence of today's movie. And in Lorca’s letter to Dali, it is full of poetic confession: “A thought is connected to you and my heart in the night and day, and I want to sing for it. The light that dazzled us both It's not art, but love, friendship, and interlaced swords." This turbulent and alluring story in the movie is put in reality. Apart from the two parties, who can tell the twists and turns? Even if it is the two parties, are they sure to make it clear? This affair was really confusing and unconvincing. However, isn't this the highest state of ambiguity? ****** Probably out of a kind of mental inertia. When I first heard about this film, it was naturally linked with the name of the popular niche, so I more or less felt that this may be a work that follows the trend of the same sex. . But watching the full movie, I had to withdraw such prejudice. The sincerity and exquisiteness of filmmaking are everywhere, and the composition and soundtrack are beautiful. The film screen is not Dali's surrealist style, but has the dreamy breath of Lorca's poetry. I remember the two first seeing each other. Dali upstairs was dejected, and Lorca downstairs turned his head in the window. There was a lightly smiling face in a white wall, full of youthful poetry. As for the widely admired section of the dance and kiss between the two in the water under the moonlight, the beauty is beautiful, but it is somewhat overthinking and pretentious. On the contrary, I like their white clothes and white shirts, riding a stolen bicycle, laughing and advancing on the country road. In the second half of the film, it began to have a surreal taste, and even the details of the shots in "An Andalu Dog" were used to reflect. That sensational pseudo 3P sex scene made me unforgettable. This kind of desire to conquer with a woman's stand-in, and the climax of changing directions from time to time, is indeed shocking in terms of the dramatic effect, but it is a pity that I am still not blessed to suffer. The filming is well documented, and many details are real. However, if you regard this film as an adaptation of a memoir, it would be too much to recognize True; when the film is a wishful thinking by the director, it is unfair. It can only be said that the encounter story of such a genius is enough to stimulate inspiration and reverie. This film is their jigsaw provided by the director, and the audience can find their own answers according to the picture. The Spanish actor Javier Beltran, who plays Lorca, is quite similar to the poet, and the scene is more pleasing. This is the advantage of choosing the right actors. The warmth and softness in the bones cannot be performed anyway. It is said that Robert Pattinson was originally going to play Lorga. After preparing for a year, he changed to play Dali. There are gaps in image and temperament, and finally there is youth to make up, not too far away. I always feel that he is more expressive when playing Dali's shy and relentless side, while his arrogant and weird side is more blunt. Both actors have age problems, and they are really charming when they are young, but after years, their appearance, body shape, and acting skills are all too difficult to support their middle-aged roles. Although Dali and Gala are ten years old, watching Robert Pattinson and the actress who played Gala are in the same mirror, but there is a sense of a mother and child meeting. ****** I have always called this film "A Little Ashes", but after watching the film and understanding the source of the title, I found that the translation of the title was quite inappropriate. Just imagine, would you call your lover-my "little ashes"? Beltran is quite similar to the poet, and the scenes are more pleasing. This is the advantage of choosing the right actors.

The movies mentioned in the series of articles "The Master and His Lovers" all involve same-sex love stories of some writers. The reason for taking such a vulgar and bloody name is actually due to various translations. It’s as if Wilde’s translation of "Heart Taiji" is wonderful, and someone insists on translating it as "Wilde's Lover"; or as Maurice does not translate "Morris" but wants to translate it as "Murris’ Lover", for fear that the audience will not If you want to be wrong, you just want to put your "lover" on top.
