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

  • David Kepesh: [interview on the Charlie Rose show] We're not all descended from the Puritans.

    Charlie Rose: No?

    David Kepesh: There was another colony 30 miles from Plymouth, it's not on the maps today. Marymount it was called.

    Charlie Rose: Yeah, alright, you mention in your book...

    David Kepesh: The colony where anything goes, went.

    Charlie Rose: There was booze...

    David Kepesh: here was booze. There was fornication. There was music. There was... they even ah, ah, ah, you name it, you name it. They even danced around the maypole once a month, wearing masks, worshiping god knows what, Whites and Indians together, all going for broke...

    Charlie Rose: Who was responsible for all of this?

    David Kepesh: A character by the name of Thomas Morton.

    Charlie Rose: Aah, the "Hugh Hefner" of the Puritans.

    David Kepesh: You could say that. I'm going to read you a quote of what the Puritans thought of Morton's followers: 'Debauched bacchanalians and atheists, falling into great licentiousness, and leading degenerate lives'. When I heard that, I packed my bags, I left Oxford, and I came straight to America, America the licentious.

    Charlie Rose: So what happened to all of those people?

    David Kepesh: Well, the Puritans shot them down. They sent in Miles Standish leading the militia. He chopped down the maypole, cut down those colored ribbons, banners, everything; party was over

    Charlie Rose: And we became a nation of straight-laced Puritans.

    David Kepesh: Well...

    Charlie Rose: Isn't that your point though? The Puritans won, they stamped out all things sexual... how would you say it?

    David Kepesh: Sexual happiness.

    Charlie Rose: Exactly. Until the 1960s.

    David Kepesh: Until the 1960s when it all exploded again all over the place.

    Charlie Rose: Right, everyone was dancing around the maypole, then, make love not war.

    David Kepesh: If you remember, only a decade earlier, if you wanted to have sex, if you wanted to make love in the 1950s, you had to beg for it, you had to cop a feel.

    Charlie Rose: Or... get married.

    David Kepesh: As I did in the 1960s.

    Charlie Rose: Any regrets?

    David Kepesh: Plenty. Um, but that's our secret. Don't tell anybody.

    [laughter]

    David Kepesh: That's just between you and me.

  • George O'Hearn: Life always keeps back more surprises than we could ever imagine.
