The true love that is conquered and wants to be destroyed

Perhaps the male god Bae Yongjun Oppa in "Winter Sonata" is more in line with our aesthetic taste than John Malkovich, the perverted killer who assassinated the President of the United States in "The Line of Fire", always asking instinctively: This guy How ugly and scumbag can make many women, such as young, unmarried and married, fall into madness and even sacrifice their love. Therefore, the mainland version of "Dangerous Relationship", except that I still remember that Zhang Dongjian, Zhang Ziyi, and Cecilia Cheung starred, I can't remember anything else. Valmont seems to manifest his control over men and women and their emotions by conquering one woman after another. The one who meets the brave wins, the two brave meet the wise, and the two wisdom meet the perseverance.” This desire for conquest is stronger, more primitive, and has a stronger taste of gunpowder. The boys and the little girls competed with each other in anger, which was pitiful and deplorable. In the end, one side was bloody, and the other side was completely notorious. Who would have thought that a Don Juan-style prodigal son would meet the love of his life, only to be ruined by his own stupidity, ruthlessness, and childish competitiveness. When he understands all this in a duel, Epiphany destroys the love of his life with his own hands, and the rest of the days are just walking dead, every day and every moment is purgatory, so he is determined to die, by the sword, with blood on the snow.

Dangerous Liaisons quotes

  • Marquise de Merteuil: When I came out into society, I was fifteen. I already knew that the role I was condemned to, namely to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learned how to look cheerful while, under the table, I stuck a fork into the back of my hand. I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn't pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think, and novelists to see what I could get away with. And in the end, I distilled everything to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.

  • Vicomte de Valmont: I ended by falling on my knees and pledging her eternal love. And do you know that, at that time, and for several hours afterwards, I actually meant it.
