Thoughts on Love - "Boxing Helena"

Watching this film is an extreme experience.
Some people think that getting along day and night can produce love, while others believe that love is a kind of primitive desire that comes from people. Jennifer Chambers Lynch certainly belongs to the latter category.
In "Boxing Helena", Jennifer Lynch follows the style of David Lynch in the narrative style, a primitive and stubborn love that shuttles back and forth between dreams and reality, entangled endlessly. You think it's real, but it's just a dream; you think it's just a dream, but the emotion it stirs up in you is still stirring!
True love runs to man's desire itself! Helena asked Rick: Do you love me as a woman or as an object?
Rick's love for Helena is the same as his love for the statue of Venus, but this kind of love is more of an offering, almost a pilgrimage. Therefore, he can only give Helena the love of a man in the dream created by Jennifer Lynch, and have her until he has her love.
The name Helena reminds me of Helen. In ancient Greek mythology, the ten-year war between two countries was for this beautiful woman. There were countless casualties in ten years, and when everyone saw Helen's beauty, they thought all the fighting was worth it. From this point of view, the bizarre Nanke Yi dream that Lecque did for Helena was ultimately justifiable! excusable!

Boxing Helena quotes

  • Russell: [watching Helena bathe in the fountain] Who is she?

    Doctor Nick Cavanaugh: [mesmerized] She's... Helena.

  • Helena: A woman is something soft; something warm when you feel her. When she's naked. When she's touched. Discovered. You see that things happen inside of her. She opens up. Sometimes a woman is sad. Sometimes she's angry. Helpless. Beautiful. Sometimes she's strong. She's still only that one woman. Talk to her - in deep whispers. Tell her what you're doing, what you see. Move slowly. Tell her you're inside of her. Tell her how it feels. Touch her. Use your tongue. Your breath. When she's about to come, she'll grab for you. But don't let her come. Make her wait. Tease her. Play with her. Make her feel. She may touch herself. She's so sensitive now. You can't be afraid. Take her. Take her.
