Paradise Lost: Finding Your Own Utopia

If you want to watch this movie, you have to be a little bit mentally prepared. It is quite large in teenage movies, but it is not exposed for eroticism, but it is quite natural, it is their living conditions.

This is a film from 10 years ago, and I am a little surprised that Mexican teenagers at that time had the same level of openness as their neighbors. Of course, the premise is that both boys are sons of wealthy families, one from a wealthy family and the other from a middle-class family. For them, life is not a problem, the natural goal is to have fun. They can lay down on the diving board by the pool and shoot, and they can also indulge in marijuana, alcohol, and even more interested in adult women, because they are free children.

It's just that they must not have thought that these short five days completely changed the life trajectory of this pair of best friends. Women are indeed not suitable for sharing, especially with two children. After the jealousy erupted, the initiative they pursued was easily used by women. Looking back, they were just objects for others to enjoy the last pleasure of life. Some secrets should be kept secret rather than revealed, and even the best buddies in the relationship will have taboos. They can't accept the other party's betrayal of themselves, but they do the behavior of betrayal of the other party with peace of mind. To put it bluntly, this is actually quite naive, and it is also an inevitable result of their living conditions.

When this layer of window paper is pierced, the intimate friendship will cease to exist, and the rules that the two were once proud of are nothing but empty talk. Only then will they calm down, look back at their ignorance and naivety, and become mature in their thinking. Be able to understand what you really need, instead of continuing to lie in the hotbed of mutual deception. After all, the future life is the most important thing.

The film uses a lot of details to reflect the living conditions of the people at that time. The two children also represent the country objectively. As a result, there is a lack of planning for the future, and even teenage life is surrounded by marijuana, alcohol, and sex, and it doesn't look like a mature society from top to bottom. This kind of reflection, expressed in the naked original ecology, is also very suitable.

    I watched Rome to make up for a masterpiece, and found that, like Rome, Cuaron was describing children and youth in a wealthy bourgeois family (himself?). In addition to the monologue, this movie is how the two brothers think with their lower bodies.

    It's like an outsider's sarcastic tone, telling about a hot but gorgeous dream in a summer. The three-in-one world in the story is a wild and angry love beast. Allowing you to indulge in disobedience and living in a game of rules is an irony after all. This journey seems to be a pure and sensual conspiracy, and the ugliness of deceit and exposure will only cause the boys in trouble to part ways. Perhaps, there will be no better ending than that. Well, so does your mother.
