This is not a Rohmerian moral story because it is not moral. This is not a revelation of loyalty and betrayal in marriage, because it is unconventional. One is a rapist and the other is a junior. These two characters full of secular criticism deduce the most touching secrets in the world.
In the Italian movie "Don't Move", Timo meets Idalia, and the emotion he earned from a rape permeates his soul. Fate is entangled, is it fate or fate?
"Idalia, you won't forgive me, will you?"
"Timo, God won't forgive us."
Many years later, Timo was sitting outside the operating room of his daughter who was rescued after a car accident, 15 years old. My daughter's life is dying. On the operating table, the child with shaved blond hair looks even smaller, and the nurses can easily move her around by lifting the sheets. The fear of forever losing the love is so painful and like deja vu. He once said: "This person is dead, and all the trees, dogs, and rivers will go with her." He once watched her go away, crying like autumn leaves shivering.
So tired, he opened the window to take a deep breath, but suddenly saw a familiar back, short hair, thin, colorful, broken steps, red high heels, her back to him, sitting stubbornly at the crossroads, letting the heavy rain pour down. He panicked and backed away, falling into memory.
We can't treat it as a mere deliberate evil deed, this is purely accidental. Because the perpetrator is not sexually hungry, the doctor in suit and leather, Timothy, is driving home from get off work, returning to his pure white villa by the sea, and kissing his beautiful wife. This may be the same as usual, but today his car went on strike on the way. The heat was unstoppable and sweaty, he took off his suit and put it in his hand. He walked into a bar dejectedly to find out where there is a maintenance worker. Xiaokai told someone called Mario’s, but he may not be there. He was confused. A woman came out and said, I’m passing there, I’ll take you there. This is Idalia, chewing gum, thin, with dry cheeks, black and deep-set eyes, and her stylized hair is messy rolled up, a vulgar red and green short skirt, a cross necklace, and faded high heels. The walking posture is unsightly, Idalia, covered in wind and dust, full of shortcomings but strange and beautiful.
She took him to the door of the repairman’s shop, no one, he asked, where is there a phone nearby, he wanted to ask his wife at home for help, she shook her head, was about to leave, or turned back and said, go to my house to call, which is nearby . He followed Idalia, around the basketball court, through the rubble and the wooden boardwalk, and finally came to her home, a small bungalow surrounded by a group of unfinished concrete buildings. The phone was called and no one answered him. His mood was depressed again and again. She handed him coffee and wiped away the ambiguity between the farewells. He felt awakened deep in his consciousness when he was fainted. Timo returned to the small bar. Today was terrible. He thought, the damn hot weather, when the mineral water was sold out, he could only drink. He was at the desk and sorted out the report, but the paper was flying all over the sky under the fan, and his car was dragged away by the maintenance worker. , Disappeared from sight, he felt his soul rush, blood boiled, extremely depressed, and the dormant beast in the depths roared, he came to her door again in a ghostly manner, she was like a wild little rabbit, real and weak , Can be plump or dying because of him at any time, he suddenly wants to see her again or crush her. He needs catharsis too much. He has always been a sensible and calm person. He has been since a child. Now he is a noble doctor, but he can't help but abuse an unfamiliar and indecent street girl. Idalia didn't struggle too much. She knew that it was useless. Her dignity had already fallen into the dust. She only felt above her lonely body. He suppressed her erratic movements and gave her a moment of warmth. She felt that she was willing, because she liked it? Because of loneliness?
Timo didn’t know what demon he was in. His guilt-filled heart sprouted uncontrollable desires. He has a perfect life and a perfect wife. He and his wife went to the perfect party at his parents-in-law’s house, a birthday star for his birthday. Sitting on the cake boat with flashing colorful lights, there are scented temples, and everyone is dancing freely on the grass, but Timo is just indifferent. He recalled the frog that was killed by his companions in his childhood. He couldn't save it but buried it with his own hands. Thinking of his irritable and irresponsible father, he couldn't stop himself and his mother from being abandoned. He always feels guilty, he really wants to protect those weak, poor, fragile things, but unfortunately they all haunted his childhood, there is nothing he can do or avoid. He was afraid of this feeling, so he overcame his fear of blood and became a doctor. He spent his entire life saving the dead, making up for self-blame, and saving himself.
Timo finally went to Idalia again. Their sex positions ranged from rough contradictory to childish tender attachment. She was so kind and real, like a mother and a child. His repressed personality gradually calmed down through rough sex. The desire for destruction broke through the decent appearance. He deliberately trampled on the spoiled puppy of his mother-in-law’s family. After his wife was on a business trip, he used to pee to water the flowers. He felt that he had Idalia’s self, so relaxed and free. He felt that he was here. Love, as if I have never loved before. Because in the bones, are they the same kind? The same comes from an unfortunate family, a child who always lacks love. Because he doesn't love perfect things by nature, but only loves the weak and the poor? Because Idalia needs him more? Idalia, poor girl, her mother died early, and her father sexually harassed her. She lived alone in the dilapidated house that grandfather was about to demolish, working as a temporary cleaner, and her future was lost and she was like a drifter.
When Idalia became pregnant, Timo arranged for her colleague in the hospital to help her have an abortion. Idalia obeyed his decision. She stepped on her only pair of torn high heels and walked towards the entrance of the hospital. Timo looked at her back and saw her suddenly fall down. On the gravel road, Timo hurried forward. She lowered her head and said sadly, my shoe was broken and her expression was heartbreaking. Timo said, let's go. I would rather die than let you in. He bought her new shoes, big red satin, which she regarded as precious.
Timo intends to tell his wife everything, but his wife is also pregnant. Timo, who grew up in a single-parent family, knows the child’s pain of lack of parental love, and he cannot leave because of his responsibility. However, the kind-hearted Idalia doesn’t want to embarrass her lover when she knows it, so she doesn’t want to embarrass her lover. Go and knock out the child. She once said, “Come if you want, once a month or once a year, but hold me tight, hold me tight.” She is just a woman who desperately needs a hug. She believes in God, although God gives For giving her a lot of hardships, she is straightforward and kind, and always blames herself for becoming a junior. He accompanied his wife to buy baby clothes. She was happy for him, as if the child's mother was herself. She unfurled her white veil and smiled fragilely and movingly: "What a beautiful dress, it's a girl." She Carefully fold up the skirt, "Don't wrinkle it, but it's very convenient to iron it." Timo felt distressed, watching her continue to laugh and say, "This is my life, full of all kinds of suffering." She couldn't help Timo. Responsibility for her was attributed to her own unfortunate fate. When the subway was separated, tears rolled in her eyes, she broke free with her hand and suddenly covered her face and ran away, the fleeting warmth, she could not linger.
Idalia decided to leave the city and Timo drove off. At the transit station, they stopped at the hotel to eat. Suddenly Timo wanted to take her far away to Africa or anywhere. He said, I will teach you to be a first-class nurse. , I can teach you everything. She shook her head and said, "You should think about yourself." He said, "This is the first time I think about myself." He swore an oath to her and announced that they were married under the witness of Steak and Cheese. She was moved. Enough, for the first time in my life I heard someone say to her, I love you. I heard the beloved man introduce himself and said, this is my wife.
She died in the place that made her the happiest and most touching. The mishandling of abortion caused her pelvic abdomen. He operated on her in a simple rural hospital without any certainty. She regained consciousness for a while, staring at her. The ceiling smiled and died, did she see God? In her short life, she was lonely and helpless but she was strong, she suffered too much damage but she was still kind, she was not an elegant lady, but she was so real that she was tender and heartbroken.
Fifteen years later, at a moment of anxiety when his daughter’s life was dying, she came to him again, still with short hair, thin, colorful shoulder bag, red high heels... the heavy rain washed out her thin but strong figure, and he felt her Zhong Zhuyou, he hallucinated that she would sit in front of him and accompany him through the difficulties. After her daughter was in peace, it rained and cleared outside the window, she showed the same beautiful smile as before, and left.
The vulgar Chinese translation of "Passion, Don't Move" desecrates this touching movie, revealing the director's humanistic compassion, because it is very clean and true, only about emotions, without conspiracy and deception. The story is based on the current point in time, laid out with the actor’s memories, and the narrative is constantly interlaced between the present and the past, making the characters’ rich inner heart manifested vividly. When I watched the first time, I wondered about the actor’s childhood shadow and Violent tendency, only when I watched it the second time I found that Idalia's beauty was more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and she was the main point.
Don't use an impetuous heart to judge a person or an event crudely by worldly standards based on appearance alone, even if they are all cast aside by the world. If you can, come closer and listen to the hidden secrets within.
