Feelings of watching "House in Rome" - falling in love with a stranger

On a boring late night on the weekend, I wanted to choose a deviant movie to watch, so I found "House in Rome", a Spanish movie about lesbian love. Of course, I also pulled a Les friend to enjoy it together. Although this is a Spanish film, the background is set in the magnificent ancient city of Rome. In the movie, two heroines who are also wandering in the middle of the night meet, and the same lonely but talented souls find each other under the guidance of the goddess of fate. One is a Russian actor who will be married in a week, and the other is a depressed Spanish mechanical engineer. Their lives should not have any intersection. The ends of the earth, I don't know you, you don't know me, almost miss each other. However, there is God's will in the shadows. Eighty percent of the shots in the film are concentrated in the hotel room where Alba lives. Two women with very different temperaments are playing and lingering naked. Some people may say that this is a stunt by the director to win the box office. But in the film, I don't see a hint of obscenity. Under the gaze of the Greek mythological figures hanging in the room, the intercourse of the two women has a little more holy taste. I secretly thought that the director was trying to explain that the body is just a skin, and true love is not only about status, but also not about gender. This kind of love is more resolutely tragic. Objectively speaking, the subject matter of the film is a bit old-fashioned. It is a one-night stand in a foreign country, but the protagonists are replaced by two women. Such taboo love is difficult to be understood by the world, so the theme of the film is raised to homosexuality. The height of this social hotspot. The tone of the film should be heavy and obscure, but as the saying goes, three women in one play, two women can break the silence in such a cold night. Each story told by the two sides is a contest of wisdom, and the half-truth story happens to illustrate the many concerns they have after the frank meeting of the body, and they are reluctant to reveal their true identities. But in the end, they still revealed their truth, but the dawn is not far away after their heart-to-heart. They were originally people from two different worlds, and they should go their separate ways when the sun shines. Those love affairs that are not tolerated by the world are destined to only happen in the dark, and the night will hide their appearance and identity, leaving only the most primitive desire. One of the highlights of the film is the ubiquitous Roman elements, whether it is the frescoes in the room or the classic Italian opera "My Sun" sung by the hotel waiter while delivering the meal, reminding us that even in a small room, Rome is also with us. Another highlight of the film is the use of the combination of virtual and real. Alba knew that the separation of the two was imminent after one night, and she was already in love lying in the bathtub, like being pierced by Cupid's heart, and she would never end. Blood poured into the bathtub, and Natasha anxiously wanted to pull out the arrow of nothingness, but it made Alba even more painful. They all clearly felt the reluctance and pain of parting, but what they knew more about was the huge pressure they had to face to stay together. There is no choice but to let go. At the end of the film, Alba proposes to leave some souvenirs, so that this love will not only stay in this room, but also in each other's hearts, so Alba chose to tie the sheets to the flagpole of the balcony, which was originally secret. The evidence fluttered in the wind together with the flags of Italy and the European Union, which became the best commemoration of their love. Finally, the two at the door of the hotel were about to go to different worlds and never see each other again. Such an embarrassing scene was unexpectedly colorful in the sunlight. The background song "loving strangers", which appears numerous times in the film at this moment, hints at their future relationship - forever strangers. But when the two walked out of the camera, Natasha's voice suddenly sounded: "Alba, look!" The film ends here, leaving countless suspense. But I think it doesn't matter whether they are or is it anymore, the important thing is that they loved each other deeply, even if it was only for one night. But this night will become an indelible mark in their lives that will only deepen as the years go by. The director's arrangement of such an ending reminds me of a poem "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world". It seems that romance also knows no borders, whether it is China, Spain or Rome. So is love.
