The ray of hope that waits in the island.

"Lighthouse. Sea. Moon. Excessive light." I was a little dizzy when I saw this movie at a friend's place. Standard Spanish movies, standard Spanish women, is a category of movies that I don't appreciate, because no matter what Modovar or others, Spanish films often bring me just an appreciation for the well-planned layout, other than that I have no sympathy with the Spaniards. And this film, seems to be a little different. So I I sat down and watched it from start to finish.

This is the first film I've ever seen directed by julio medem. I was struck by the ease with which sex and desire were taken, and many of the sex scenes in the film made me feel more professional than R-rated Erotic movies are more exciting, but beautiful, real sex as a human being in real life. Lauren Zuo was blindfolded by a leopard scarf and stuck out her tongue, while Lucia sat naked On her body, on her face, the sunshine is unique to Spain, discarding unnecessary details, the music sounds, graceful, and full of interest. At that moment, I felt that all Spaniards must know more about sex and sex than the French. Love.

The director's calmness to sex is shocking. One-third of the film's scenes are depictions of straightforward desire, including sex in a sunny room, sweaty sex in a dark living room, and sex in a room full of sunlight. Crazy sex with a lover, and crazy sex with a stranger or a daughter-like character. But never filthy. Although the director's leniency in sex goes a bit too far and makes the film really watered down. But compared to all those in China that will For movies and directors who use sex as a gimmick, julio medem is more than a level higher.

Of course, sex alone is not enough for a good movie. What this movie wants to express is qualitatively the same as Almodóvar's movie Yes, they are all explorations of life, and optimistic explorations. Spaniards are never pessimistic, at least in my opinion. All Spanish movies make me think in my dreams all night. But only this one makes me I have the desire to write it down.

Three women who had sex with him. The one who has been in love all the time, the one who has a night out, and the one who is pure animalistic.

And Belen, the woman who met because of the sudden appearance of her daughter, is a symbol of instinctive desire. In her daughter Luna's house, Luna took Lorenzo's hand to go upstairs to sleep, but was stopped by Belen's kiss. The symbolic scene can simply tell us that this is about the choice between family and sex, like the choice between lucia and belen. And belen in sexy underwear pulls lorenzo, who is coaxing luna to sleep, into the master bedroom. It symbolizes that desire is satisfied and family love is abandoned. The director is a man with a hint of an old man's tone, and he is also suitable to be a teacher. Because he uses Luna's death to tell us that family love is the most important, not animal desires.

Elena, a night of carnival The woman. Lucia, the woman who took the initiative to confess to him, the woman who loves him and he loves deeply, the woman who understands sex, love, and even understands his articles. Impeccable. But Elena is also impeccable, in There was nothing wrong with the one-night stand before he met Lucia, and the two sides also forgot about it. But the result was that night made his life a fractured turning point. Yes, what the director wanted to express is the uncertainty of life caused by people The loneliness of the world. Chinese or Asians will think this argument is big and unreasonable. For example, Japanese people will think that a movie should at least make the viewers understand some truth. Even I, before watching this movie, have no idea about this kind of movie. They are all scornful. This is the height difference between cultures. It is also the reason why there is currently no poet in Asia (if anyone thinks there is, please tell the name).
This person who understands desire and sex and has a morale complex How will the director teach us to deal with this uncertainty? The answer is optimism. The optimism of the Spaniards is like the sunshine in the film. Lighthouses, islands like rafts, these are both lorenzo's past, elena's present, and more The future of lucia. The hero is lucky not to die after making a wrong choice. On the road where the air of the wide island is unbearably fresh. The story goes to the end. They come to the hole. But with the dark on the island The holes are not the same. They have time, so they can start again. And they can cry again.
The director wants to say that under the uncertainty of loneliness, all you have to do is to face it positively. It's
that simple.

For the first time, the optimism of the Spanish people infected me. At the same time, it also made me fall in love with this sunny country that has a trace of negative details that can erase the negative details in my life.

The Chinese translation of the film is "Lucia's Lover", a personal I don't know what its Spanish name means. But its English name is "sex and lucia". The film is about a man's choice, not Lucia's choice. Indeed, the film Xu's head shots are all directed at Lucia. But you can't translate the film as Lucia's lover because of a side-scrolling directing skill. "sex and lucia", personally think, is the encounter between lorenzo and lorenzo. The women who arrive are divided into two categories, one is maintained by sex, and the other is Lucia, who is true love.

If it were me, I would prefer to use islands and lighthouses and even that ray of sunshine as the root of the movie’s translation. .Like translating Chongqing Forest as "chongqing express".

Sex and Lucía quotes

  • Pepe: [At Lorenzo's birthday party] Well, the baby girl was born in Madrid. But she was conceived on a beach, on an island, a night like tonight, with a stranger from Madrid. It was his birthday. If you write this well, it'll be the story of your life. And my birthday gift to you.

  • Lorenzo: The first advantage is at the end of the story. It doesn't finish, it falls in a hole. And the story starts again halfway. The other advantage, and the biggest, is that you can change course along the way... If you let me. If you give me time.

    Elena: All the time you want.
