What I admire the most is not the hero Audrey, but the suave old man in his 60s living in Prague City, that is, Audrey's father-in-law Ludford. Rudford, who pays attention to the quality of life and spiritual taste, often spreads a theory of life to his son-in-law, or that he and his wife have lived in harmony for decades - infidelity and cheating are the foundation of a happy life. Your significant other definitely doesn't like being with a boring guy. And constant cheating and fresh stimulation can connect one's strong desire for the other half. Moreover, it also ensures that the wife has a sense of tension, constantly "fighting" for her husband, thus bringing a sense of freshness in the marriage. This funny old man took his son-in-law to and from the clubhouse to practice his theory. If I can find a person in the Chinese world who corresponds to him, I think Zhou Botong, the old urchin in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", is no different. If there is one word to describe Rudeford, I think of two words. Word - elegant.
A lot of logic in the Western world of thinking really amazes me, and at the same time, I am deeply impressed by the super imagination of the screenwriter. For example, this old father-in-law took his son-in-law to pick up girls and taught himself how to pick up girls. At this moment, one after another shot in my mind, shining like a rainbow, brilliant: the father in the "Beautiful Tales of Sicily" directed by Giuseppe Tonadore, Italy, takes a sexually budding teenager Victoria. Litu went to a brothel to encourage him to take the initiative to seek relief from his sexual thirst, and all of this came from his thirteen- or fourteen-year-old sexual fantasies about the beautiful young woman Malena in a small town during adolescence; the French movie "Mother" , The Limits of Love", in order to let her son Pierre, a handsome young man, get rid of his homosexual tendencies and return to normal heterosexuality, the mother Helen did not hesitate to try the law and have an intimate relationship with her son, which really caught the audience by surprise (look carefully, there is also a French The famous actress, the very cute Emma DeConis, who has short wavy hair and a French smile, is the dream lover of many people); "Ham, ham" directed by Biggs Luna, Spain In the novel, Josie's mother hires Lou, a fit panty model, to seduce Sylvia, while at the same time surrendering herself to Lu's young and muscular masculinity. Josie, who vaguely felt her girlfriend's transference, was very sad, and then took comfort from Sylvia's mother (the big mouth beauty heartthrob Penelope Cruz was only 18 when she appeared in this film). The chaotic lust makes the romantic Mediterranean love continue to present in fantasy Spain as always...
Prague, this beautiful old city with the Vltava River running through it, was so strangely attractive to me. This originally started with Milan Kundera's novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Life". There are two translations in the study. I have read Han Shaogong's translation three times, and I can't get enough of it. In contrast, Xu Jun's translation (renamed "The Unbearable Lightness of Life") is simply terrible, and it's a terrible translation of a great work. After that, I watched the adapted film "Love in Prague", which I watched no less than fifteen times in the past six or seven years, although the film was criticized by scholar Cui Weiping as not being faithful to the original and poorly shot. The film starring the beautiful Juliette Binoche and the handsome Daniel Day-Lewis makes me often inexplicably moved-Thomas resolutely returned from a safe neighboring country to a country occupied by the Soviet army with the belief that he would never return. The city of Prague looked for Teresa, he was swimming in the Vltava River in the big winter, swans cruising around them and the hazy fog, he drove a tractor with his right hand held high, and the golden sunset reflected in Teresa's eyes. Eyelid, she was sitting on a bench in a sanatorium with Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina" by her side, the last last last last last... in Sabrina reading letters from the other side of the ocean Knowing that they had died in a car accident, the transition of the montage shows them sitting in a dilapidated old Czech truck, fast through the fresh forest in the rain, softly and happily - T: Thomas, where are you? Thinking what? TO: I'm thinking how happy I am! (This scene was an ideal of my life for a time) Then the soft, slow-beat piano music "The Holy Virgin Of Frydek" plays, my favorite background music originally appeared in Thomas and Teresa in the spa in the nursing home. First acquaintance. In the beginning, I struggled to find this movie episode. Whenever I listen to this piano piece in the middle of the night, there will always be bursts of emotion in my heart. (In a movie not long ago, Juliette Binoche has obviously aged a lot, I am really sad about this, I would like to keep her memory in Prague City)
My love for the city of Prague once took over my mind, and Czech literature and cultural history are my best spice. From Yaroslav Hasek, Crema, Hrabar, Capek, to Milan Kundera, Comenius, Eva Konturkova; Prague Rhapsody, The Train That Watched, and I Served the King of England, to Hopeful Men, The University of Prague. As soon as that city became the center of my life, it once made me want to study there, but later it became a desire and a dream due to the obstacles of language, economy, time and other factors.
Moving on to "Hopeful Man," the best movie I've seen this year. After watching the 84 Best Picture Oscars from the first session to the most recent session, compared to Berlin, Cannes, and Venice, I still love Oscar's films. In the past year or so, for some unknown reason, I am often annoyed that I can't find good movies. Maybe my life is too closed or the communication is not smooth, and I can't get the latest film sources. Maybe there are other reasons. In short, I rarely find the same as before. One or two good films, and I will keep them as souvenirs after watching them. "Hopeful Man" actually tells me that life is a light comedy, and its detached attitude towards the world obviously needs to be learned. I have no intention to trace its life logic and conceptual schema, but the style of this light comedy is still hard to find in secret. When little Lolis Sarota with a very lethal smile, took off her T-shaped panties and tied her silk hair on her head in front of the two big men in front of the pool table, this classic scene suddenly What gives this Czech film a distinctive style is perhaps the reappearance of the surviving spirit of bohemian liberalism. At the same time, it is like adding some salt to your boring life, and in the salty taste, you rediscover the meaning and value of life, as well as the ethereal and elegant state of mind.
I vaguely remember the last page of my master's thesis. I wrote a thank you speech full of A4 pages on both sides. I know this is not a postscript to an academic thesis in the strict sense, but I insisted on writing it that way, just to say goodbye I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and respect to the teachers and friends around me for the past three years! In the last sentence of the thank you speech, I quoted a lyric from the theme song of the movie "The Deer and Ding Ding":
A happy life is all a game!
It's just that this game is still very far from what it can achieve today.
Wang Xiaobo once wrote in "Thirty and Standing", "I will do everything sincerely in the future. I will think like Descartes and attack windmills like Don Quixote. Whether writing poetry or making love, I will do everything with great effort. The sincerity of completion. Rhode Island is right in front of me, and I am jumping here—I do nothing, this is existence itself.” So what is revealed between the lines is that great enthusiasm for welcoming life and loving it. , blowing your face, let you bathe in the love and embrace of life!
Life is a light comedy, but can you hold on when the tragedy in life comes? When you have a mental breakdown, can you still tell people that you are still the rapper of your life? Are you still holding on to your old ideals? Can you make your time run slower and slower? What are you holding onto those fragments of memory for? In the loneliness and darkness of the world, have you felt the joy of life? Or, you can say you'll do what you can achieve, that life's light comedy acting hand.
"Suddenly there was a strong desire in my heart, unprecedented: I want to love, to live, and to treat the one life in front of me as a hundred."
