Your life, a poem with endless aftertaste

Do you like me now?

Do you like me now

Do you like me... now?

Poem-like sentences, resolutely repeated, until the curtain call, Depp's figure gradually disappeared in the dark

I admit that I am a poor knowledgeable Man, what I'm seeing is not about the plot, not about that dark history.

I admit that I don't know anything about the dark power entanglement of level 17 Europe, and I don't even know the social status of the story's protagonist, Earl John. The background of my family background, I just saw an extremely dark world from the chaos, just like a scene in the play where the earl jumped out of the carriage and stepped into the mud, so messy, and the earl was in this mud Shouting, staggering forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

I admit that I didn't understand the emotional entanglement between the earl and everyone around him until the end. I don't know why the earl left an unprofessional and dissolute servant by his side, and made him faithfully accompany him. Even Liz, the most important heroine in the movie, I don't know what kind of emotion they have. Earl John is so uninhibited, so unrestrained, but he is desperate for an ordinary actress. He shouted wildly in the rain, hysterically calling Liz's name. In that scene, he suddenly felt that he was the world. The most infatuated and dedicated man in the world, but he still treats everything in his world as a plaything. Even at the last moment of his life, he did not forget to talk to his wife like a flirt. He used to be so brilliant and attracted everyone's attention, from kings and ministers, wives from nobles, to prostitutes and actors, they were all playthings in his hands. He wanted to hurt everyone around him with an arrogant attitude. also hurt yourself. But at the last moment, only my mother and wife were by my side. I don't know if he was moved by his wife's persistence in the end. He seemed numb and left this world full of rich emotions, a world he hated and loved so much.

At the beginning of the story, the Count proudly faces the audience alone: ​​"I do not want you to like me". And the end of the story is still this scene "Do you like me now?" I think he actually doesn't want to get an answer at all, he doesn't care at all, with his arrogant attitude, in that debauched era, he shouted hysterically , running around, drinking all the wine in the world, taking away the virginity of all the women in the world, writing absurd scripts, living the most reckless life, I am a layman after all, his life, his heart, I will never understand, I No one can understand. I'm just madly obsessed with his rambunctious, uninhibited, free, cynical, arrogant, impulsive, mysterious, vulnerable, neurotic.

It's a good movie, a movie I'm madly obsessed with. But I can't find anyone to recommend, because I don't think anyone is as obsessed with a slutty prodigal son as I am, and with such a somber expression.

    Harris: Yes, um,

    [reading from the script]

    Harris: "Then dance six naked men and women, the men doing obedience to the women's cunts, kissing and touching them often, the women in like manner to the men's pricks, kissing and dandling their cods and then fall to fucking, after which the women sigh and the men look simple and so sneak off."
