Revisiting the Piano Teacher

When I read it for the first time, I thought it was pretty awesome.

Then I checked it out. The original novel was a masterpiece that won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 200 years, and the film itself was also
the award-winning work of a famous film festival in a certain year. It's just that it may be too intense, so there is not much response in the country.

Probably because I have rarely been with my dad since I was a child, but only with my mother, so this film (including the novel)
has a special feeling to watch. My mother doesn't care about me so tightly, but it's still somewhat closer than a normal mother and daughter, and
that kind of intimacy does sometimes become a bondage.

In fact, the motivation for writing something down is the hero of the movie. That blond, blue-eyed man in his early 20s, dressed in black, is good at playing
Schoenberg . He is extreme, has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere, and is a student, and has a deep love for the heroine, but after
knowing the real side of the heroine, he gave up and refused to escape his feelings. Of course, maybe it should be said that the heroine is too weird
, but what should true love be like? Love watching him play Schubert nervously. I also
like that he wears black clothes, showing an elegant smile like a young poet in Soviet Russia. Compared with the young man in the original novel, the
film version of him is much more lively and more loving. It is said that beautiful men
should still focus on engineering and have a good artistic temperament. . . Unfortunately, there are very few that have both. Maybe the Tsinghua
keyboard team. . . . . . . . . . .


"Have you read Adamu's review of Schumann's Fantasia in C major?"
"No"
"He talks about obscurity. Not Schumann who lost his mind, but before, before the close call. He knew he was going to lose his
mind, very painfully but Take your last chance. It's a moment of self-knowledge, on the verge of giving up completely."


It is recommended to read Jelinek's original novel if you have time, it is a very remarkable work. Although some aspects may be
a little too intense, it is very impactful, and it is a text that can shock the soul.

But this movie is really in line with my consistent thinking for me, and the heroine's behavior is basically
similar to my estimate. If I didn't marry myself after finishing my Ph.D., I would be similar to her :) It
's better to have more dreams while I'm young.

    When he was raped, the piano teacher was like a dead body. The most impressive thing is not the abnormality of the piano teacher, but the whole process of how a woman's status is reduced from a goddess to a prostitute and a plaything in the heart of a man. This is the same as the sixth episode of "The Ten Commandments", but in fact the latter is a bit artificial, while "Piano Teacher" is too realistic. Actor's performance

The Piano Teacher quotes

  • Walter Klemmer: [reading the teacher's letter] "On the contrary, if I beg, tighten my bonds, please. Adjust the belt by at least 2 or 3 holes. The tighter the better. Then, gag me with some stockings I will have ready. Stuff them in so hard that I'm incapable of making any sound. Next, take off the blindfold, please, and sit down on my face and punch me in the stomach to force me to thrust my tongue in your behind." Is this supposed to be serious? You're making fun of me, aren't you? You want a slap?

  • Walter Klemmer: Just then, I was under your window and I was jerking off. That's what you want, huh? You want to...

    [making obscene signs]

    Walter Klemmer: is that it? You're a witch, a pervert! You want to give everyone your illness, don't you? Not me!

    Erika Kohut: I did apologise.

    Walter Klemmer: Fuck your stupid apologies!
