The Obscure Purpose of Desire.

I want to see this film.

There are two reasons.

One is that the director of the film attracted me. I have seen one of his famous surrealistic films "An Andalusian Dog" before.

The second is the title of this film.

Watch I didn't know what this film was about before. I didn't like doing too much homework before watching it, watching too many introductions or comments.

When I watched this film, I always felt that it had something to do with "Bitter Moon". Similarities. There is no surrealism of "An Andalusian Dog", but there is no lack of the director's characteristics.

We always spend most of our time researching why the director did this, why did it, what was it to express, etc. ...

Perhaps this is a person's dream.

There are some meaningless things, and too much research is meaningless.


[Desire] is

nothing more than possessiveness and control.

Men want to possess and control women.

Women desperately need security Feeling.

If the man is in complete control, the woman's sense of security cannot be guaranteed.

So these capricious little tricks happen.

Leaving close, leaving close... It took a long time

.

[Obvious]

Taboo things can always be Attractive.

When I watched it, I noticed that there were four sacks in the film...

The first time was a stranger carrying a sack and skipped the camera; the second time was the actor carrying it; the third time was the male The protagonist's attendant took the sack and asked him if he wanted to bring it; the fourth time appeared at the end, in a shop window, a woman took out pieces of clothes from the sack, and finally put a piece of blood on the clothes. Up sewing.

Did the hero put all the clothes the heroine wears into the bag? What about the bag that the stranger was carrying?

In the end, the woman in the window is patching the dress that looks like the heroine was wearing when they were arguing, which means that their relationship is constantly broken and repaired.. Such a capricious process??

Maybe something like It's an ordinary passerby A passerby B. It's just that the director is just bored and adds a sack bag. And the film is also the past of the hero in the narrative. Maybe it's like a person's dream.

Just add some tidbits.

[Purpose]

The purpose is to Planned desire.

    The last of Buñuel, the overall average, but the beginning and the end are exquisite. Compared with the two-player heroine, I especially like the situational setting of "storytelling on the train", and the character distribution is also very interesting (as the male protagonist/narrator of the big capitalist, psychologist, judge, prudent middle-class housewife), Unfortunately, the director seems to have forgotten about this structure first. The finale of "The Old Woman Weeps and Embroiders Luoshang" reveals the theme (women use the delay of desire to overturn the power structure) as failure (the anger of the male protagonist after being deceived cannot deduce his love for the female protagonist; and once the female protagonist sets her body up As the last fortress, it is doomed to its ultimate failure), at the same time, the radical left violence of the 1970s in the overall background is also presented as an irrelevant failure.

    It turns out that two actresses are playing the same role! No wonder, why do I feel like a Frenchman for a while, and a gypsy for a while!
