Memories and Love Through Adolescence

The friend who told me about this movie has always been cursed, and the friend who lent the disc to me should be cursed, so that this movie I only watched once left such a deep and hot imprint in my memory.

About summer, beautiful young limbs, about that horrible wall of adolescence that everyone has to muster up to be able to cross.

Year the film was made: 1993, when I was 12 years old. The love model I admire is undoubtedly reflected in the film, the kind of relationship from blood to couple that cannot be destroyed. Cursed but impregnable, no time and space can cut it off and block it, so the sense of security is fully obtained.

I walked to the bookstore and bought the novel of the same name as the original film. I felt like I replayed the camera while reading it. The boy's long blond hair and the girl's slender wheat-colored skin overlapped in his mind. There is also the looming brown sea, the balloon in the little sister's hand, the blue light passing over the twins' bodies... The

completed and complete union of the soul and flesh is like a silent worship, and the adolescence is from this. It is not known how the two brothers and sisters will break through on the road to adulthood, leaving only the pair of bright bodies frozen in the end of the movie and deep in memory like a song.

The Cement Garden quotes

  • Julie: Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's OK to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you? What it feels like for a girl?

  • Commander Hunt: There is nothing ugly, I never saw an ugly thing in my life, for let the shape of an object be as they may: light, shade and perspective will always make it beautiful.
