On May 18, 2021, I re-watched the bitter moon and was greatly shocked.

The conversion from honeymoon to bittermoon is a bit hasty, but it's all sigh. The morbid beauty of Mimi's innocence, innocence, mutilation, docility, and desire to be loved is indeed irresistible to Nigel in the third person; the story is true and false, but the description of Oscar's actions in the second half is extremely The big physical discomfort, if the context is ignored, is more brutal than Polanski's own pianist, more terrifying than Rosemary's baby. The fascination of Paris in the memory and the shaking of the hull in reality make the camera feel a little more hollow. This hollowness is accompanied by emotional corruption. Under such a rapidly expanding framework of love dominated by passion, once the source The power disappears, and the "love" that originally covers all aspects of life; it will only leave a formalized body that lacks emotional core and brings about psychological depression and magnification of personality defects, and the hidden behind passion is greed And the desire to conquer, that is, the inferiority of human beings. Just like the emptiness after orgasm, the only option to make up for this feeling is to let go of all responsibility and restraint, lower your moral values, and try your best to find a way to fill this emptiness; The guilt and self-defeating sense of loss created try to induce the other party to give care, change, and answers, but these are not enough to make up for the lack of passion, that is, the disenchantment of the mystery of another individual will inevitably materialize, Flat. In the end, all disgust is self-loathing, and all pain is self-inflicted, so it evolves into mutual torture and unhappiness; (Indians say that having children should be a way to divert conflicts) Nigel, who is not determined, may It represents those who still blindly follow their sensibilities even after they have clarified the truth.

"It's no fun at all to hurt someone who doesn't care" tsk tsk. (Inexplicably reminded of the ten days of PTA's Phantom Maker and Stephen King, the last stanza of the Savage Story) In the end, the dance between Fiona and Mimi was too beautiful, the chaos after the carnival and the suicide that followed, the ending Great.

In my opinion, the most important thing in a relationship is not the height of the waves of love, but the golden glow on the beach when the sunset shone after the wave of passion has faded.
