——Sidney Shelton, the
first shot of "Lover in Fire" , surprisingly similar, reminiscent of Colin Firth's "Single Man". This is indeed a story about A Single Man, but it is not a theme of Lost and Found, but one person avoiding the other, for Shame!
Although the psychological construction has been done, the speed and manner of Fa Shark's exposure still breathe a sigh of relief-the most annoying "straightforward" movie where the opening is naked as if to prove the body, the director without exception is in the remaining more than an hour Hidden a lot of key information around, in an ambiguous way of holding the pipa half-hidden. Sure enough, the director kept showing us Brandon's "shame" behavior and state, but he hid the reason for the shame. Until the end, the suspicion that was ready to emerge has not been implemented, so that many people are being related to a lot of sex. The scene is confused about what the movie wants to express.
Brandon, the male protagonist played by Fasha, is a very regular person-the first thing to do every morning when he gets up, he walks naked to the living room to leave a message on the phone, goes back to the bedroom to tidy up, and then washes. Hook up with beauties on the subway on the way to work. Go to the bathroom during working hours to solve your physical needs. Go to the club after work to find a one-night stand, or go home to watch the computer or hire prostitutes. Although indulging in sensuality, he succeeded in maintaining a weird balance-treating his body like a pet, meeting his needs regularly, just to prevent it from messing up beyond his grasp. Having sex without love is indulgence and restraint.
The balance was disrupted by the sister who broke in suddenly. When he lifted the baseball bat and touched it into the bathroom, he was about to give the empty-passer a taste. Unexpectedly, his sister was greeted. He didn't even evade, she didn't evade, he actually completed a round of dialogue with her naked body. The only reasonable explanation is that this is not the first time he has seen her naked. Leaving the bathroom, he turned off the noisy music in the living room, picked up his sister's scarf, held it in front of him, and sniffed. At night, he was startled by the sound of her sobbing in the living room. She was broken in love, and pleading hardly did not help. This was the reason for her sudden appearance. The next day, she really asked to stay, he, because of her coquettish little actions, obviously couldn't refuse.
In the evening, I had dinner with the Boss three people, and my sister sang "New York, New York" a cappella. The audience was amazing. This is a classic song of a wandering mood of a foreigner working hard in New York. My sister sang it like weeping. If you are more careful, it is not difficult to find that Brandon's heart is broken and cannot be controlled by tears. It is the sentence "It's up to you." Because of embarrassment, after his sister returned to his seat, he found an excuse to escape and gave the Boss a chance to take advantage of it. The opportunity. Then, his sister flirt with his boss in front of him. Although his eyes were about to burst into flames, he didn't interfere. Instead, he cowardly hid downstairs and ran. Then angrily drove the sister who had come to show her out of the bedroom.
After that, he had a home and couldn't return early, so he had a very good date that was still unfulfilled. When his sister was away when he got home, he thought she might go out on a date or even not return. As a result, she was smashed in the bathroom by her sister in embarrassment. She turned around and closed the door calmly, showing a triumphant smile of mischief. On his side, he was so embarrassed that he clasped her shoulders uncontrollably and angrily: "What do you want from me? What do you want from me?" Not only that, the secrets in the notebook were also discovered by my sister. She left the apartment wittily. He was left to pack up all the obscene items in a collapsed manner and discard them like a mess. I found the black sister who had met so much before, and wanted to further develop the relationship. Unfortunately, even with the help of drugs, his body still expressed a strong protest in the most primitive way "He doesn't want it to happen."
No, there is no health problem in his body. The problem is that he has lost control of his heart and even his body. All the previous methods and tools to keep his life in balance have all failed. He finally made up his mind and found an excuse to drive her out—"You force me into a corner, and trap me. I got no other place to go. "
This It was a complete break, he and she knew it well. His sorrow is written on his face, he needs Sex to get rid of the sorrow, get rid of the SHAME in the body, this time, he needs a large dose. The result of being forced to the corner to go all out was two failed touch-ups in exchange for two beatings. A failed Gay Bar trip did not give him the vent he wanted. What is the shame of being so desperate and desperate even playing dirty to get rid of more SHAME than Sex Addict? My sister’s last message, completely and instinctively called, "Brandon, I need you. We are not bad people. We just come from the bad place." The screen switches, the more depraved, the more desperate, the harder you work, the more useless you are. Desire, the SHAME in the body did not dissolve in catharsis, it's still there. So the purest despair in those ten seconds has become the Cannes actor of Fasha. The best performance of 2011 is one of the best performances.
In the accident in the subway, he realized that he might really have lost her this time. He rushed back home and faced a mess, shouting, praying, stopping the bleeding, asking for help... his body, his heart, and his brain were to her. Don't give up, can't turn a blind eye, can't see death without saving, can't lose her, for ever. Once again, the rescue was timely and she escaped. Before the sickbed, she was tired and stroking the scars on her arm, like every battle left a memory in her hand and in his heart. This time, the result of the battle. Anyway, he failed to win.
Walking out of the hospital, there is no way to know what decision he made, only knowing that the decision was so difficult that he would be emotionally broken as soon as he walked out of the hospital. The next shot, a similar subway, the same woman, she became enthusiastic and active, but he was chilly, with disgust and fear in his eyes. Needless to say, his Sex Addict healed from death. But his SHAME is still there, maybe more serious-he changed from Sex Addict to A-sexual.
—The End—
SHAME, the shame in the bones, makes some things an insurmountable taboo, shuts the deepest desires into the darkest dark room, closes the door and locks it, and never speaks to others. Repression does not eliminate desire, it can only make it continue to accumulate and expand in the imperceptible subconscious. From time to time, it must be vented in a less shameful way, so that it can return to the normal and controllable range, without hurting the fundamentals of survival.
This is how Brandon controls his body, his heart, and his life. His original sin, the deepest SHAME is that he fell in love with someone he shouldn't love, his sister. In the face of her coquetry, her willfulness, her despair, and her sorrow, he could not refuse and could not solve it. After playing a lot of rounds, it was still a dead-end game-the dense cuts in her hand were proof. The lives of both people are because this shouldn't be there and shouldn't exist, but the irresistible and unwelcome taboo love that appears and exists, just like a candle in the wind. Without getting what they want most, the lives of their brothers and sisters are ruined, one is promiscuity, the other is promiscuity-he can have relationships with anyone, and she can fall in love with anyone.
To put it bluntly, this is a very "ordinary" story, so the director carefully designed the baggage to slowly open layer by layer (the focus is not on why to fight, but how to fight), showing the audience how Brandon is struggling to retreat step by step Still fighting an unwinnable war.
