The cheerleader in "American Beauty" is immersed in rose petals, smiling handsomely, slender and lazy, and the middle-aged father who checks his muscles in front of the mirror, but he is only ridiculously self-sufficient.
The story of pear blossoms pressing begonia is often like this. The more charming the young banshee is, the more wretched the delusional man is.
Maybe because a man is attached to a certain body, always because of desire.
In "Marlene" and "The Graduate", little boys fantasize about the full body of mature women, mature on their curves, and end up finding a female partner of the same age.
When the roles of men and women are switched, the irony of old and young couples is often reduced a lot, and the loneliness and desolation of older women are used to highlight the growth of boys.
Elders should be more mature and more self-controlled, but when Sabelle Huppert coldly inserted a sharp knife into her heart in "Piano Teacher", when the female teacher shook her glass and asked drunkenly in "Farewell to the Classroom" When her students want to fuck her again, compared to the indifferent and impatient male students who are holding on to their new love, I don't know who will hurt more.
They are only temporarily infatuated with the flesh, and they want to love in vain.
I don't know if every boy has sexual fantasies in adolescence, and he has no high opinion on "spirit and flesh", "light and heavy", but he is always attracted by such topics, and he knows this by twists and turns. "Notes on Scandal".
As a woman, the author is quite clever and sharp, and digs out more levels of this repressed subject.
The male student is still the one who is active but ruthless driven by hormones, and the female teacher is still the one who is not satisfied with the physical game and tries to find true love, but the author is ruthlessly hammering a nail, Xipa's so-called loneliness is only middle-class to assign new words.
She couldn't help being tempted by her emptiness and poor self-control. She was just as intoxicated in the physical game. Her last indulgence was stupidity and weakness. She was exposed, partly because of her selfishness and hypocrisy in her passion and simplicity.
She said that his body was like a newly unearthed mushroom, like clean white bread. She liked his hot and explicit pursuit, and enjoyed his tenderness. Fortunately, he hadn't learned the kind of attitude that adults don't care about the body, but I don't know. , This fresh body will conceal deception more than a big man, and will classify her as expired faster than a big man.
In Peter Pan, children are cruel and forgetful, and teenage boys, perhaps especially so.
The little fur boy is the most cruel and ruthless. Do you think he loves you? He is only temporarily obsessed with your body, his toys.
Do you think he can understand you and relieve your loneliness? Not only does he not care about your mind, but even your body, he will soon get tired of it.
The old and ugly Barbara is selfish and possessive, but she is the absolute truth.
It always seems difficult to preserve the dark undertones of such a clever, slightly satirical novel, as did Veil, as did Notes on a Scandal.
Compared with the novel, the film adaptation is good, but the ridicule in the original book is gone, but there is an extra line to tell many themes that have been expressed in the classics.
The two leading actors in this play have won a lot of praise. I'm used to seeing M in 007, Judi Dench with sparse hair, the meanness, viciousness and loneliness carved on the loose flesh, which makes people feel pity and disgust which is more shriveled, and it is very similar to the original.
Blanchett is a beauty, but not a good actor in my heart. I always feel that she is no one, but always herself, imitating Hepburn's accent and acting so heavily that she even won an Oscar, I am speechless. Blonde, slender and fair, she looks very much in line with the original book, but whether it is the change of the character plot or her performance, she repeatedly handles this kind and simple but selfish and stupid complex character into a lonely middle-aged person. beautiful woman.
At the end of the novel, Xipa is really controlled by Barbara after losing her temper, echoing with emptiness and loneliness, but exposing her weakness and laziness and selfish nature, which is very consistent with the ironic and sad tone.
At the end of the movie, Xipa returned to her husband's arms, warm and affectionate, the prodigal son turned back, had an epiphany of human nature, and knew that the most important thing was by his side, so it was in line with the tone of the adaptation.
