I gave him four stars because he is a good movie. But that doesn't mean I agree with him.
When the old man looked at the mirror firmly and said "no more playing", I really laughed. They have a really good relationship: can't help it, betrayal, doubt, and then can't help it. Same trick. When I watched it, I didn't pay attention to the language of the camera. Instead, I was trying to figure out when the old man was young. As you can imagine, the same unruly, the same passionate. Coetzee's Shame is quite different. He has "moral shame" and makes people completely unable to feel love. You know, the function of moral law is to distinguish between lower animals and higher animals.
If they are in a school with high pressure to go to school, their unspoken relationship is still established. Of course, I'm not talking about this film, it's just an extension. That's how movies are, showing you a beautiful show that doesn't exist. Sadly, I'm past that stage.
In my opinion, they mainly focus on physical communication, and it is difficult to see spiritual communication. But why let a stagnant old man have real feelings for her? (That is also the result of the accumulation of time) Well, even if it is true feelings, if the whole world is so merry and happy, then we humans are too pitiful, right? ! Humans have to bear something after all! ! Is it extreme? Suffice to say I am pedantic.
This film also reminded me of the "student killing professor" incident that caused a sensation a while ago. No longer. "You have to look at the place if you want to be romantic, don't you? You think you are still in Paris, oh
hey!"

Elegy quotes

  • George O'Hearn: Beautiful women are invisible.

    David Kepesh: Invisible? What the hell does that mean? Invisible? They jump out at you. A beautiful woman, she stands out. She stands apart. You can't miss her.

    George O'Hearn: But we never actually see the person. We see the beautiful shell. We're blocked by the beauty barrier. Yeah, we're so dazzled by the outside that we never make it inside.

  • David Kepesh: I think it was Betty Davis who said old age is not for sissies. But it was Tolstoy who said the biggest surprise in a man's life is old age. Old age sneaks up on you, and the next thing you know you're asking yourself, I'm asking myself, why can't an old man act his real age? How is it possible for me to still be involved in the carnal aspects of the human comedy? Because, in my head, nothing has changed.
