Describe the film "Haarlem", which I watched on weekends, a film that could have evoked thoughts and memories of my youth. This film records the life of a British high school student (who has graduated and can apply for university), and is a record of Haarlem's own youth. What is youth? Rebellious? Hesitant? uninhibited? Inner persistence and laissez-faire for your future? Everything is unknowable. Although this film has a fairly good ending, it is the director, or the film's needs, of course, it may be the destination of Haarlem in real life. It is undeniable that there are other endings in reality. After all, cruel youth is not uncommon. And often the hesitation and rebelliousness of youth are cruel.
The film peeps from Haarlem with binoculars and wears a wave to destroy the "field battle" of the two neighbors. Here, the audience is explained to the audience that Haarlem's youthful character that seeks stimulation and is uninhibited. After that, the film switches to Haarlem's family, and Indirectly and implicitly, it pointed out that the contradiction between Haarlem and his stepmother led to the situation that Haarlem lived alone in the "Bird's Nest". The subsequent departure of the only sister made Haarlem even more lonely and confused. Then the film cuts into a series of voyeuristic behaviors in Haarlem. Haarlem peeks at the sexual life of his father and stepmother and records and observes. During the voyeur, we vaguely remind us that Haarlem feels uncontrollable sexual excitement through voyeurism. This point It has also been proven later, and at the same time, it is common sense, and voyeurism is the most exciting. Originally thought that the scene and story of this film was carried out in this villa on the outskirts of the United Kingdom, the film changed with the outbreak of the conflict between Haarlem and his stepmother. The stepmother felt Harlem's hostility and wanted Harlem to leave, while Harlem believed that the stepmother was the murderer of his mother, and insisted on staying for close observation, hoping to finally find evidence. The stepmother used an opportunity to make copies of Haarlem's voyeur diary and used it to threaten Haarlem to leave, noting the excitement recorded in Haarlem's diary at the voyeuristic father's sexuality, Haarlem erupted at this time of shame With his own negative emotions, he was directly ready to strangle his stepmother, but the stepmother touched Haarlem's lower body while struggling, felt the instinctive reaction of Haarlem's lower body, and started to touch Haarlem, Haarlem is the most young man, in the middle of nowhere. The most "sex" anxious times in life, and then the two had a relationship. Afterwards, Haarlem fled home in shame and left his nest. This conflict directly confronted the characteristics of Haarlem's adolescence, impulsive and confused, irrational.
Haarlem is driven to London, disheartened, aimless and hating his defeat in the fight with his stepmother. The hatred for himself is even more indescribable. Haarlem went with the flow, slept in the beggar's place and was chased away. But obviously Haarlem doesn't care much, the pain and hesitation in the heart, the pain of the spirit far exceeds the pain of the body. At this time, Haarlem met a woman who looked exactly like his mother. Haarlem followed the woman and tried every means to enter the restaurant where the woman worked. Next, Haarlem played his "specialty", peeped into the woman's life, and continued to enter the woman's life. Here, Haarlem rediscovered the goal of life, although this goal seemed absurd Yes, but most normal for Haarlem. He needs a fulcrum, he needs a purpose, he needs to find a reason to live. Youth without purpose will ultimately lead to destruction, and Haarlem instinctively wants to avoid this destruction.
However, the destruction seemed unstoppable. As the stepmother and father found Haarlem again, and under multiple stimuli, Haarlem finally decided to kill the stepmother wearing the waves. After the stepmother was bound by him and thrown into the river, His natural conscience or unconscious instinct allowed him to save his dying stepmother. Then the father told the truth about the mother's suicide. Hallam eventually lived through his self-destructive youth. The ending of the film seems too happy.
This movie is listed as highly recommended. .
