Because I have watched too many movies, I feel that there are fewer and fewer movies that can touch my heart, and "The Lover" is one of them. This movie has the same feeling to me as "A Tree of Pears and Begonias", which is affectionate and sad.
First, let's talk about the male protagonist in the film:
Tony Leung's film image is very positive, he is rich and kind. Maybe it was because of lust and preference for white girls at first that he fell in love with this French girl, but later fell deeply in love with her. Although a lot of scenes of two people making love are shot in the movie, I know that the depth of a relationship is not only because of the pleasure of the body, but also because of the collision in the spirit. .
After watching this movie, I find it hard not to feel sympathy for the character Leung Ka Fai. He treats this girl so well, takes her to eat and drink spicy food, spends money to eat a big meal, invite her to dance, and make her family happy (although this amount of money is nothing to him), but it still can't get him to be there Recognition in the hearts of this group of white people. The girl's disregard for him when he was with her family hurt him deeply. He loves her so much, but he can't even exchange a conversation or eye contact at the dinner table. They just treated him like a living wallet on the move. Although in this unpleasant party, the male protagonist showed his complete tolerance and grace, but back in the bachelor apartment, he angrily deleted her slap and fucked him hard. At this time, I sympathized with Leung Ka Fai. I used sex and torture to vent my anger. In the end, it was still painful. I hurt others, but I hurt myself the most.
Even if he was treated like this once, Liang Jiahui did not kick the French girl away because of it, but he still met her and treated her well as always. It's just that he sees his position more clearly. This girl doesn't love herself, and is more with her for her own money. Although he could not let go of his love for her for a while, his heart had died at some point. He asked the girl to say to himself, you said that you are with me for money and do not love me. She said it, her tone so calm and unconcerned. After he listened to it, he said, "You are really a prostitute" full of love. From this derogatory remark, what I saw was not an insult to women, but deep love, helplessness and injury. The piano accompaniment sounded at the right time, and he pushed away the girl's hand stroking his genitals, full of tears, leaning on the bedside and saying the following sentence "I am withouth strength. I am dead now. I have no desire for you. My body no longer for the one who doesn't love". Seeing this, my heart was also touched and I was left in tears. In fact, this was the most profound confession, and I used the most frank way to analyze my hurt heart to his lover. Somerset Maugham once wrote: "She felt that her love for him rose to the next level because she made him miserable".
Tony Leung's character is pathetic, pathetic. Sadly, though he is rich. He just wanted love, but God didn't give him the love he wanted. The pity is that he is affectionate, and he is too affectionate. The phone call many years later also showed that he has not forgotten the past of the two over the years, and this ruthless woman has worried him all his life. Tony Leung's character is also lovely and respectable. The cuteness lies in the fact that he loves this woman, not only lusting after her body, but loving and giving with a sincere heart. Respectfully, without his support, the heroine's family would not be able to escape the predicament, and this book and film would not have been born.
Now let's talk about the heroine:
First of all, the heroine is worthy of sympathy. Her original family made her mature prematurely, and matured so abnormally. Overall, I think the heroine is a person who doesn't have too many real feelings, just like Duras herself. She can have countless lovers, her favorite is always herself, if not a writer, she is a prostitute, fall in love with such a woman, you must be prepared. Be prepared to be deeply hurt by her. Like a vampire, they drain your emotions, your heart, and feed them. What nutrients does this nutrient provide? Money, vanity, the admiration of others, making up for the lack of love? I don't know, because I'm not them and I can't understand what satisfaction these can bring. But I have seen such a woman in real life. She is charming and terrifying, commonly known as "scumbag". I hope you who read this article, if you encounter a girl like this in the movie, or a woman like Duras, or a woman with the attributes of "scumbag", if you are a person with sincere feelings , it's better to stay farther away and escape faster.
Although the heroine is small, she is a very mature and selfish person. She knows that Chinaman loves her so much, but she can say something like "I don't like Chinese people very much anyway" without mercy, and she can just use him as a wallet and let her trash brother Be rude to him without interfering. But I have to say, this kind of woman may just have a magic power that makes people feel tortured, pained, and the more pain they feel, the more they feel like they love them.
Objectively speaking, she is also poor. Her family is so deformed, incest among relatives, and poor financial situation. His family could look down on her being with the Chinese, but accept the fact that he helped them. They are downright selfish, but occasionally they will admit their gratitude and admiration to this Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, showing that they still have a human side. The human mind is extremely complex.
It may be because the white and yellow people's sense of class existed at that time, and the heroine always convinced herself that she was with him for money, so she didn't care and did not admit her feelings. But she still went to the place of appointment, although he did not come. I believe that if he loves more, he will not appear. If the ending is destined to be parting, then doing it again will only bring more sadness.
On the boat, she really cried and faced her feelings. Where have I seen this scene? There was once a woman I knew who was like that, showing indifference to a person, but occasionally crying secretly because the person was no longer hers. But I firmly believe that these women, they are still ruthless inside, they only love themselves, and they cry, but only for their own feelings. This kind of feeling is overflowing and hurtful. They can give their bodies, but if you want them to treat you with sincerity, such as flying away with you, it is absolutely impossible. Their sincerity is limited to, occasionally, crying silently and alone in the middle of the night. If you are talented, write her out and make it a book, that's all. Being favored by them, or favoring them, is happiness, joy, stimulation, but more, it is extremely painful.
Although sometimes people often say that they don't care about eternity, they only care about what they once had. However, what will happen for a long time, what if you once owned it, in the end, it is just an empty space, all of which are dream bubbles and turned into memories. Sometimes, people often think that it is hard to become a monk, and that one cannot have sex and cannot eat meat. In fact, I think that maybe living in the mundane world is a hardship. Suffering from the torment of lust, the pain of separation, unable to see that everything is fleeting, desperately trying to grasp, wanting to possess, but in the end, the feeling of being unable to grasp anything, isn’t this really suffering? ?
