Too many people focus on Pfeiffer's charm. Too many people pay attention to the poignant beauty of this year-old love. How many people think about Fred's mother and wife? Her mother, Charlotte, Charlotte, a high-end prostitute, worked hard all her life and did not pay attention to love. In her later years, she had a luxurious residence, a luxurious life, a handsome son and daughter-in-law, and occasionally an old friend came to visit her to play cards, chat with her, and show off her son. Everything seemed perfect. It's a pity that his son is not good enough. I'm used to living a rich and luxurious life. My smoking, drinking, and taking drugs have ruined my body, and I'm no longer that good-looking and handsome child. So she thought, let her old friend and colleague discipline him. When the son is older, he doesn't listen to his mother's words anymore, so he should always listen to his godmother's words. And so, an unforgettable love was born.
Cheri falls in love with Lea, who is about the same age as her mother. But not from the Oedipus complex, but from his inability to get the maternal love he wanted from his mother. He cared about his mother and reminded her of her health, but he teased her at any time; he married a strange rich lady under his mother's order, but he was uneasy about the family, and finally committed suicide because of an "old woman".
Charlotte is also a dutiful mother, feeding him, dressing him, pampering him, thinking about him, thinking about him. Unfortunately, this is not enough in Fred's eyes. Perhaps, the joke "Ah, yes. You are my mother, aren't you? I vaguely remember you a few times when I was little. " It was him of the mind. Otherwise, he couldn't go to Lea for love and care and call her nounou; otherwise, he couldn't sit beside his wife and lament, "We are all orphans." As the old prostitute in the Great Smokehouse said, "I know what the trouble is." "You have everything you could possibly want, and none of it means a thing." Cheri has never been happy, and his love with Nounou is his source of happiness, but also the talisman that destroyed his hope.
She is eighteen years old, young and beautiful, and she should be as beautiful and painful as a porcelain doll. Unfortunately, she is the daughter of a prostitute and does not know who her father is. Her mother never cared about her until she was born into a beautiful woman, so she hurriedly found someone to marry her off. At the wedding, the mother couldn't wait to leave and ran to her new lover. The husband does not love himself, and he is thinking of an old woman. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears, but she couldn't get her husband's understanding. Yes, he never goes out alone at night, he doesn't sleep in separate rooms, and there is no actual behavioral betrayal. They all thought she was small, that she didn't understand anything. What did she understand? She knew that he had never loved her and never wanted to love her; he hardly noticed her existence; he never knew what she wanted and didn't care. What she didn't understand was why her husband didn't love her, but married her, and then thought of another woman every day. She didn't understand his soul-like love words. She didn't want his mercy and charity, but she could only get these.
Because of the trouble that day, he simply went out and stayed at the hotel. When he finally came home, because of another woman, her face was filled with happiness. He came back with a bunch of gifts and ordered the servants to bring them to "Madam Peloux, my wife"; he ran upstairs briskly, picked her up, kissed her, and said "Back for good" to her. This time, their love was pleasant; unlike before, he made love mechanically, and then fell asleep with his back to her. At this moment, she is simply Hao Xue in "Desire of the Golden Branch."
However, from the beginning to the end, he only loves Nounou. Only Nounou can disturb his heartstrings. He and his wife respect each other, but that's all. In the end, for the sake of Nounou, for this relationship, he used his revolver to bleed his temples. Everything would have been different if Lea had never appeared in his life. After all, Fred is so similar to Edmay; the same youth, the same beauty, the same loneliness, the same sadness. Perhaps it will be a beautiful story of two young people licking each other's wounds and supporting each other in love. If so, the conversation on the train would be: "Edmay, your eyes are beautiful." Fred: Yes. Do you know why? Because you love them. "
Rupert Friend plays the male lead, Fred, also known as Cheri in the heroine's mouth. He was unusually pale and lanky, with hair always covering his eyes, perfect for the role of Shou, or a vampire. Dude, you should watch a vampire movie. I'd still love to see him play Wickham, Prince Albert, the officer in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, or something like the King of the Mountain, the gangster in The Virgin Land. The old prostitute's phrase, "You have everything you can possibly want, and none of it means a thing," describes Cheri very well. The metaphor of the heroine describing how she shouldn't let Cheri live with her for six years is wonderful. "It's a mistake to keep Cheri for six years." Being with someone for six years is like following your husband to the colonies. The time you come back, you forget what you are supposed to wear and nobody knows who you are. "
This is a film worth watching. At least it has a simple and smooth story, incorporating natural performances of the characters and picturesque natural scenery. I said, the male protagonist is fucking rich, right? That house is amazing too. The female protagonist, Lea, is the nounou in the male protagonist's mouth. In any case, she has lived most of her life. She has experienced all that she should have experienced. How can she be so confused in front of love? After all, they are too different in age. She should understand that letting go finally means letting the male protagonist love her and miss her all his life. It is far better than living with her and letting the little boy witness his own aging. It is not beautiful. It's just weird. Love is too deep.
