As far as I'm concerned, the images of the two heroines seem to be closer to the heart, of course, perhaps due to my gender bias. In contrast, Henry seemed a little stingy and stingy. He knew women and knew how to use them. These were not wrong, but they were not worthy of praise. Because the film is based on real events, perhaps we can feel the activity of his literary cells through his book "The Tropic of Cancer". And Hugo is a representative of a male group, they should be the most loyal supporters of monogamy. He loved Annie from beginning to end, with the cowardice of a victim.
The petite and lovely Annie has really grown up in her sexual yearning and almost greedy experience. The word "pure" is a description she uses a lot. Sex gives her a new feeling, and a single desire makes her madly grab and vent. However, she has always maintained a husband and wife relationship with Hugo, and her love for Henry is not exclusive. She deceived Hugo, Henry and Joan at the same time. Nature and Henry's teaching pushed her into a "time of crisis". Of course, the director did not let her fate go into ruin, but always made us believe in the simplicity of her nature. After all, although she went into and out of the slums for Henry, she was still a little woman with no worries of food and clothing. By reading the text Gain indirect life experience. "I cry because I don't have any more pain, and I'm so uncomfortable with the absence of pain." In this process of joy and pain, she doubted and worried about her own state, and was also affected by Henry's relationship with herself. torment. It is worth mentioning that her fiery enthusiasm is sincere and touching. Let's talk about the same-sex love between her and Joan. Joan seemed to Annie to have a mysterious allure, so much so that Annie said "Your eyes make me shy". Henry describes Joan as a liar who is full of lies and does dishonorable things, but Joan has a taste of female self-sacrifice. She supports Henry's wholehearted creation and admits that she has done "dirty and shameless deeds". , but also used the word "pure". When she was dancing with Annie, she whispered in Annie's ear: "But I feel so pure now." Here, maybe the hearts of the two characters are truly connected. The only regret is that the character of Joan seems to be a bit rough and vague, "I tell you so many stories of my life, I want you to write for me", which seems to dilute Joan's love for Henry. Of course, this also adds to the complexity of the character. She is beautiful, she can come and go, and she can betray herself at any time for profit. She has infinite expectations for Henry but is cynical, making it difficult for the audience to understand the character. Of course, this may be intentional. On the other hand, too much exposure will appear insufficient. Their same-sex love, built on mutual understanding, shatters. When Joan discovers Annie and Henry's inappropriate relationship, she is angry at her husband's betrayal and pained by her lover being Annie. Leaving is the only escape. . Perhaps this fulfills the saying "love is despot".
Annie and Joan are two women in a marriage. There is no doubt that they disdain the traditional family model. In a sense, sexual liberation will make people freer and more liberated, but what makes us wonder is: can the indulgence of the flesh meet the real needs of our hearts? If not, how should we face the temptation of the outside world and our own troubles? Without a firm stand, we are bound to sway, bewildered, confused, and miserable, and regret ensues. According to the hierarchy of needs theory, the real meaning of marriage may be to provide a certain sense of security and belonging. Unfortunately, it is like a shackle that suffocates family members, and after weighing it, various methods are used to try to get rid of it. The end of the film seems to imply that life is by its very nature bland. She still went home and continued her life with Hugo, and became best friends with Henry, and her heart was undoubtedly scarred. She tried to have everyone's love with pure enthusiasm, but she paid a huge amount of money. cost.
Watching those daring sex scenes so often and so recklessly makes your heart beat faster. With the sound of the French song at the end, you closed your eyes, but began to feel the perplexity and sadness that rose little by little.
what is love? Where is it?
