There is Lolita in the girl, and Takio in the boy.
A feature film that seems to have almost no plot at all, but it is rich and delicate, and it is not boring. The male and female tourists, hotel hosts, and wandering entertainers around the musicians and teenagers are like setting off their genre paintings. I will tell you that my eyes only meet with you in the vast sea of people.
Did something happen between them? They didn't even speak. What happened, the man's eyes have been following the teenager, and it even makes people feel that he is like a stalker, chasing the beauty that has fallen into the world with restraint and fanaticism, however, their only contact is limited to fantasy, he fantasizes that he told The fact that the young man's mother had the plague, and then was able to stroke the young man's hair as an elder, that's all.
What surprised me was the boy's gaze. He was so acutely aware of the follower's gaze, and he responded fearlessly to the man's complex look, he even smiled at him, how he seemed to be seducing him. He got off the elevator and waited for him to follow, he deliberately fell behind his mother and sister, waiting for him to follow, he brushed past him, he played in front of him to guide him, all of which could not be Don't let people swear at the same time, behold, this little devil.
The man was crazy about him. Instead of leaving Venice, he stayed and began to dress himself up carefully to make himself look younger and worthy of him. Yes, he is a somewhat wretched middle-aged man. It can only be limited to the estrangement between morality and beauty to follow the boy. He can't respond to the boy's temptation or teasing. He can only look at him from a distance, feel sorry for him, and say that he loves him behind his back. He is not allowed to smile like that in front of others. Powerless bondage.
In the end, the young man became an eternal phantom in the eyes of a man, a phantom he would never be able to capture.
