Many people say they can't understand this movie. I admit that the plot is really slow, but I actually understand it. What kept me going through this movie? I think maybe it's that emotional struggle and resonance.
The storyline may seem complicated, but it's actually very easy to clarify. A love triangle can't be said to be a love triangle. After the male and female protagonists fall in love, it can be said that the veritable relationship is chaotic. The female protagonist loves the male protagonist, but she can't get rid of the temptation brought by her boss, so she can't end this underground relationship for a long time.
When the female protagonist finally made up her mind to end the relationship with the boss and get along well with the male protagonist, the male protagonist had already noticed it. The constant questioning, the constant torture, made both parties tired of the relationship.
Therefore, the three people in the story each began to be confused, and each went to the red dust to find the answer. Looking for answers to what? is temptation. It's a choice when faced with temptation. It's a reflection on human nature. is growth. is regression.
I think that's what this movie is about - seduction.
There are many temptations in the world. In the early stage, there is the boss's fame and fortune, and in the later stage, there are various characters, that is, the second half of the movie to be presented to us: Fa Shark meets Portman, a beautiful restaurant waiter; High Commander meets mature Kate; Spicy encounters To the lace side turned into a lesbian.
However, movies are always full of drama, and so is life. After experiencing all kinds of emotions, the three protagonists have different perceptions.
After Fasha and Portman got married, their nature was still unable to restrain, and they messed around with flowers everywhere, and even dragged Portman to fall and succumbed to sex all day long. Shark fell into deep self-blame; Commander Gossip and Kate were actually inappropriate, so it ended abruptly, and when he finally remembered seeing his seriously ill father, he kept thinking of the sweet memories with Mala; Mala started to live a lesbian life. When she didn't return to freedom, she thought of the person who could make her feel free in love - Commander Gao, so the seeds of affection were planted in her heart again.
We have to say that people are really selfish in love, whether it is the high commander's doubts about the spicy cheating, or Portman's intolerance to the game of the shark, or Kate feeling the high commander's weak affection for her, It makes people want to sigh, how much our love has been lost in the hands of others.
This is a movie that makes people feel that they can't hold on, and they don't want to give up. Just like the couple in the film, they can't hold on, but they don't want to give up. Don't know what to do.
Then start from scratch.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist chose to go to the west as a worker to start a new life, and the female protagonist narrated, "You want to return to a simple life." The clip of "Love in Prague" suddenly jumped into my mind, Thomas was going through all the After the temptation finally chose to return to Teresa, they decided to return to a simple life, so they went to the countryside to become farmers and start a new life. I have to say, these two plays are very similar. Except "Cloth" is a story that always revolves around two people, "Song" is a multi-angle story revolving around a love triangle, and the rest are too similar.
In addition to temptation, "Cloth" also focuses on a hard-to-change nature, which is very similar to "Song", Fasha, Spicy, High Commander, Portman, Kate Demon, Lace Edge, Shuangfei... in life All kinds of people and things, full of temptation, irresistible. Compared with other characters, Fa Shark interprets the word temptation to the fullest. While tempting outsiders through charming appearance, fame and fortune, he is also a representative of being unable to refuse temptation.
Just like Thomas, women and love are chronic poisons for Fa Shark, and unconsciously, it is easy to sink into lust. This feeling, how can I put it, like smoking, like taking drugs. It's like you know it's not good, it's not good for you, but you just can't pull away from it, because this feeling will numb your nerves, make you feel powerless, and you may even feel the real thing in the end. The soul is also stolen.
Alas, that's about it. The ending in the play is quite satisfactory. The movie is actually not difficult to understand, nor is it ugly. The more you watch it, the more interesting it becomes, so that we will have more life experiences after watching it. In addition to the artist's self-indulgent and hypocritical drama, this film is quite thought-provoking and worth watching.
