The translations of the names of the old films are very different from those of the present. The protagonist's name in "Young Adam" coincides with Chufu's well-known "Zu and Zhan", where Zou and Zhan have a lover at the same time, like-minded and brothers. In "Young Adam", Zu and Zhan also slept in the same cabin as a woman, but Zhan here would call Zu a bastard. He squeezed Zhan's father away, and he didn't stay in his mother's cabin for long. .

Zu first met Jia Fei, who was beautiful, undecided, and turned into a corpse at the very beginning. At that time, Zu was a hopeless romantic idiot literary youth who yearned for China, typed obscure words on a typewriter, and regarded making a bowl of egg custard as an achievement. It's a pity that Jia Fei only saw the second of the four adjectives, she and Zu contributed over and over again with probably the best sex scene description I've ever seen, and she loved this wholeheartedly and whipped herself when she was angry, like doing Like a salad, he smeared himself with sauce, and then there was rape, and the scene was so messed up that it was exaggerated and abusive. Even after the incident, she was still half asleep and half awake, and rolled her ancestors into her arms. The two young people wrapped in white sheets looked so pure. Is this love? This is just Jia Fei's unrequited love, and the color of love is the bizarre mix of scarlet mayonnaise and black before, which has no edge with pure white.

Zu told Jia Fei that he was going to China, but Jia Fei had no choice but to "wait for your economic situation to improve a little so that we can live a normal life". Of course, she wasn't stupid enough to believe that Zu would really go to China, because he found Zu soon after, saying that he had his child, and gave the answer at the beginning of the film by the way after a while. Of course Zu didn't want to live with a woman dragging a child, and he didn't even think about living with this woman. Regarding his son Zhan, who will be a parallel head in the future, he thought, "Sometimes I really want to blow his head." When Jia Fei stumbled and fell into the water, Zu's hesitant performance echoed the terrified "I can't swim" when Jia Fei was lingering in the boat after he saved Zhan He, who was annoying him. ' screams. He didn't even think about jumping, and the matter of love never stayed warm in his heart. He was evasive, indifferent, his lower body always controlled his brain, and solved all problems by violence and sex. At the same time, he was afraid and dared not take responsibility because he just Begin the dreaded financial independence of adulthood.

Let's look at the title again, "Young Adam", yes, Adam, this is a sketch of all young men, vivid and terrible.

After the loss of Jia Fei, the long night was illuminated by the burning of youth lamp oil and was extremely lonely. Zu tried to forget the slightly swollen, bone-cold corpse in the water, while rubbing the roots of the proprietress' thighs with his hands. It was so hard to forget, everyone around was talking about the apparently "murdered" corpse, and he was caught by the proprietress at the moment of saying goodbye to Garfield. So I am afraid that the secret that no one will know will be exposed, and I want to find someone to let go of the idea that I have always been uneasy and regret, and at the same time, I can take a shot from time to time. Zu got into account of the mother. The funniest scene is that after the two had an affair, the daring person squinted at dusk, and when the occupied father, Reese, was caught, the old woman questioned neither humblely nor arrogantly, "Why does he walk up and down and judge us! ", Zu calmly waited for a cigarette and walked into the cabin. "Did you ever think about my son when you were fucking my woman?" Rhys said angrily, of course Zu didn't. This relationship seems a bit Oedipus. When the young Adams are frustrated, they always have their mother's warm embrace. Sometimes, they mistakenly think that this is the so-called feeling of love. During this period, Zu also had an affair with Zhan's aunt, although the woman seemed impatient and blamed, "Look at how you stained my clothes." When the second-tier cheater was noticed by the first-tier cheater, the cheater instantly gained dignity, perhaps because he understood his embarrassing position in the so-called love and wanted to return to Li Si.

Zu left the cabin again, looking for the "China" in his heart. During the period, I experienced the trial of the ridiculous case, and of course, I also took care of the woman who was sent by myself. Zu never dared to tell the truth, but only wrote about it in a book, who knows if it will be published. These are the young Adams, all the young Adams, poor and vain, with absurd dreams, who think they are bold but dare not take responsibility, sometimes violent but often indifferent, dealing with women but afraid of love, in the words of Rudy in Misfits, I I dare not be responsible for you, because I am afraid that you will abandon me, so I decided to let you go first. The most important thing is that, like the trial of the case, all the mistakes of young Adam, too much responsibility, are the adults to bear.

Young Adam quotes

  • Joe Taylor: I think she went to a bridge fully dressed and stood there breathing the warm night air. And she took off her jacket and folded it neatly on the ground. And then she unbuttoned her blouse and undid her brassiere and let it drop down on top of the other clothes. And she'd unbutton her skirt and let it slip down over her hips. And then she'd unroll her stockings and hold them out so that they blew in the breeze like penance before she let them float off into the night. And she'd shiver and ask herself if she really wanted to go through with this, and she'd answer that question by kicking her clothes into the river. And hurriedly now she'd take off her garter and her knickers. And there'd she be, standing in her petticoat, thinking about whatever it was that brought her to this. And then with her petticoat billowing around her she'd drop into the water like a rose, float there for a moment, and be gone.

    Les Gault: What kind of woman would do that?

    Joe Taylor: Just an ordinary woman.

  • Joe Taylor: [after having sex with Ella] Are you sorry?

    Ella Gault: Fat lot of good that would do me.
