Danger, sex, game

I warned myself to stay away from Ryan Phillips. It's not just that "Dangerous Game" has brought me a kind of conscious and cognitive confusion, which has made me turn my contempt for the word playboy from contempt and disgust to... a trouble. Ryan caused me a lot of trouble. His dove-like gentle voice, his calm and noble expression when messing up, the lines of his lips and those beautiful and cold blue eyes made me feel a cordial sympathy for the Sebastian he played. Feelings. And Sebastian is really bad enough. He seduces all the opposite sexes he can meet, from female teachers to female students, from mothers to daughters. He teamed up with his equally wealthy sister in their evil exchange game, hunting one target after another, and shamelessly wrote the so-called glorious record in the diary.
Everything related to Playboy is troublesome, because this title shows: first, he is rich, and second, he is personable. These two things are basically the best materials for making sex appeal and sex. If, unfortunately, he still possesses both intelligence and youth, and, like Sebastian, unites the pure and innocent eyes with the dark and divided soul, then women... really dangerous enough.
This film is adapted from the epistle novel "Dangerous Relationship" in 1782. "Dangerous Relationship" is an adult fable about depravity by La Crowe. It has been put on the screen many times, and such a story is put on the middle school campus of contemporary America. , This kind of transplantation is very interesting-it can be evil, but it can also be pure and deeply rooted in people's hearts. It has no limits on morality, it is almost a THAAD-style debauchery, but at the same time it also has a THAAD-style seriousness. On the other hand, it brought some freshness, like putting daisies next to poppies in a vase in the same room.
If, for Sebastian in the film, the chaste Anne is the daisy, and Catherine is the poppy, and between them is a struggle for him, then in this picture, good and evil will be In such a deliberately distinguished picture, which kind of depiction is the core?
On the surface, it seemed that Annie had won, Snow White had defeated the vicious queen, and Sebastian finally rushed towards the path of being reborn and reborn... However, Catherine's ambitious desires and personality were obviously more deadly. In this game, she is not only a creative person, but also a controller. She was born in the same class as Sebastian, with the same pride and attractiveness. She teased Sebastian because she was his kind and his half-sister, and she appeared dark and unreliable. Lun is full of excitement. Sebastian left Annie because he was given up by Catherine, and this result was far from optimistic: there, death awaited him and gave him the final fatal blow.
Sebastian cannot belong to Annie. The dangerous relationship between him and Catherine is the real focus of this triangle, and it is also the end of the film that seems to be preaching, but in fact it is an expression of the messy human nature. He had to cleanse with his life to get past Catherine and his own past.
At the same time, the only woman who really resisted Sebastian’s magic was Catherine, the clever and pure Anne stepped in defense, and she could hardly resist despair: "Why can’t I trust you? That’s just because I don’t. I believe I can be with you".
But that's just the lines of the movie... Judging from what he did, Ryan Phillips is really the least like the kind of playboy. Because of this film, he met Reese Witherspoon, the blonde who played Annie, and then began to take care of children and become a daddy. Many American movie fans could not understand Reese because of Ryan's fading out. Later, Reese's career was in full swing. In 2006, she won the Oscar statuette with "Indomitable", and then divorced Ryan.
Ryan...Of course, still, nothing. A few days ago, I just finished watching "Crash" and I always remember the young policeman next to Matt Dillon, not only because he is better-looking than most people there, but also because of the light and serious expression in those blue eyes. ——Even if you did something wrong, this expression still gleams with a quiet gleam like a mystery. How could a handsome boy have such a posture, like Tim Rose in "The Dog in the Falling Water", which makes people yearn, fascinated and wiped out. Now, I remember that the strange and familiar man was the grown-up Ryan Phillips.
