Juan Antonio invited the two to Oviedo for a vacation. The uninhibited Juan Antonio and the sexy and open Cristina naturally matched, but the plot was very clever. Because Cristina suddenly fell ill, Juan Antonio could communicate directly with the non-speculative Vicky. Vicky even In love with Juan Antonio. It's no surprise that Vicky fell in love with Juan Antonio, because Juan Antonio was obviously a lover of Don Juan.
Don Juan's story came from Spain and was later appropriated by writers and poets. For example, Molière adapted Don Juan's story into a comedy, Mozart wrote the two-act opera "Don Giovanni", and the poet George Gordon Byron He called his work "Don Juan" a satirical epic. In Either/Or, Kierkegaard carefully reviews Mozart's Don Giovanni, describing Don Juan as "a pure musical comedy. He desires sensual pleasure; he Seduced by the transcendent power of sensibility... He rushes in eternal disappearance, just like music, when the music stops, his life ends, and when the music starts again he is brought back to life." Don Juanru The music is constantly flowing, and the endless lust in life is directly enjoyed at all times.
If we borrow Kierkegaard's famous three-stage theory of "Aesthetics-Ethics-Religion", we can find that in Woody Allen's film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), there are really two kinds of people-ethical people. And aesthetics, Vicky and Juan Antonio are examples of both types.
There are two types of people in the film. The first type is the people at the level of ethical life, namely Vicky and her husband Doug. They are full of arrangements, full of responsibilities, full of restraint and full of morality; they attach importance to marriage and work. Emphasize career and value friendship.
The second category is the level of aesthetic life, namely Juan Antonio, his wife Maria Elena and Cristina, they belong to the same level, but not the same. Juan Antonio, like Don Juan, is a direct carnal, pursuing sensual pleasures and natural desires, where physical pleasure is everything. Cristina is similar to Juan Antonio, but she is full of variables and uncertainties. She needs to keep thinking, keep trying, and explore possibilities in freedom instead of pursuing certain constraints. Maria Elena is an extreme synthesis of the two roles of Cristina and Juan Antonio. She is a hopeless suicidal person who is good at mocking and denying everything.
In the movie, Vicky is put to the test. Seeing the mediocre and boring marriage ethics life of Judy, a distant relative in Barcelona, she is afraid and wary, but in the end she faces a tragic future and returns to the life trajectory she has already set up. , Juan Antonio's appearance set off waves in her heart, and finally returned to peace, but made a summer episode in her life that she couldn't put down. Cristina is always looking for a free person. Her appearance will undoubtedly bring freshness and affinity to the aesthetic life of Juan Antonio and his wife Maria Elena. Life is a process like music. Only in the ups and downs, in the ups and downs, can you live out different possibilities and give her the material for reflection.
Woody Allen has come out of the world of fate and religion after two more serious tragic works "Lost in the Finals" and "Lost in Love and Sin". For ethics, he deliberately mocks the test, it goes without saying; for aesthetics, of course he embraces it, he seems to stand in the position of Cristina, and he never forgets Don Juan, constantly experiencing pleasure and reflecting on life, and then creating Juan Antonio and Maria Elena Two ideal aesthetic images. What's more, he is in Barcelona, where Antoni Gaudi's architecture, Joan Miro's paintings, Spanish guitar music, street photography, poetry and abstract painting have made him linger and fascinate. , I do not know the coming of old age. Woody Allen retreated from the world of religion to the world of aesthetics. It is conceivable that "Midnight in Barcelona" must please others, but also himself.
