Yeah? isn't it? Yeah? whatever...

I wrote a short review yesterday. After falling asleep, I couldn't help but keep thinking about the story of these two people. Even after waking up this morning, I was still in bed thinking for a long time, what was going on.
In fact, it was because I always thought that the two of them were in love with each other, but both of them knew that this was a fruitless relationship, so they kept avoiding it, using a "prostitute" way to avoid it. So for me, the most touching, dramatic and heart-warming part of the whole article is when Tony Leung squeezed the girl's chin lightly and said, "You told me that you and I are here for my money, nothing else. Others, and then the girl followed him verbatim, I came here with you for your money and nothing else.
It's very reasonable, when I have to make a choice, I will tell myself a hundred reasons, which is not good. In this story, Liang Jiahui knew that he was a prisoner trapped by wealth and wealth. He knew that he would not be with this fifteen-year-old girl for a long time, so he had to give himself a reason to convince himself to give up and not care. , so that she won't regret the heartache and become a knot in her heart. He asked her to say it again and tell her the reason, which is convenient for her to give up. The girl also needs it. She also knows that the two people will not last forever, and it is impossible for her to marry this Chinese man, so she is unwilling to admit her love.
But after reading other people's reviews, I was completely confused. . . Everyone said that the girl really didn't love Brother Ka Fai, and she didn't find her love until the boat, which seemed to make sense. But at night it felt like it might not matter at all.
The important thing is that the whole play is the memory of the girl! (Is it not suitable to use a roaring body for a film like PS?) The important thing is that it reveals some things, some laws that have nothing to do with the times and specific characters, and reveal the kindness of girls. The kindness of all the girls in the world. Or the kindness of all. In our memories, we usually shave off the hurt that others have done to us. In our memories, usually everyone loves me. He must have had to hurt me. The world is peaceful, even if it is not peaceful, he wants peace. of. It may not be kindness, but just the need to maintain self-esteem. But the memories are beautiful.
There are no conspiracies, no tricks, no harm, only nostalgia and love in the memories.
Memories are really good things, no wonder we always feel that what we can’t get is the best, and what we get is right around us. Accidentally fictitious, he who was sitting next to him suddenly let out a loud fart and it vanished into smoke.
It's too far, I don't know what I want to say, and I don't want to dig. Anyway, I see what I see, and what I see is what I see. After all, reading is a part of creation, It's my part of writing.
ps For the first time, I feel that Leung Ka Fai is really tasty! The girl is also good.
pps, there are no names in the whole drama, so the final subtitle is the chinese man, the young girl, the elder brother, the girls' mother, the younger brother, this is meant to illustrate a general story, isn't it? Yeah? isn't it? ...whatever.

    It seems that foreigners will never be able to capture the thoughts of Chinese people, no matter how deep or not.

    The review is the film itself. I don't like this heroine, it doesn't fit my aesthetic. Compared with the original book, this love is obviously too thin and hasty to express in a movie way, and even a few straightforward sex scenes make me feel boring. If I have the opportunity, I should learn French and read the original work. I can only say that the translated works made me misunderstand Duras' literary attainments. Perhaps the charm of literature to film lies in the fact that it builds the reader's rich imagination in order to be obsessed.

The Lover quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: Years after the war, after the marriages, the children, the divorces, the books, he had come to Paris with his wife. He had phoned her. He was intimidated; his voice trembled, and with the trembling it had found the accent of China again. He knew she'd begun writing books. He had also heard about the younger brother's death. He had been sad for her. And then he had no more to tell her. And then he told her - he had told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, that he would never stop loving her, that he would love her until his death.

  • Narrator: "Now and then I go back to the house in Sadek. To the horror of the house in Sadek. It's an unbearable place. It's close to death. A place of violence of pain of despair, of dishonour... But it's in this family's dryness in it's incredible harshness that I am the most deeply assured in myself. In the deepest of my essential certainties, all common history of ruin and shame, of love and hate is in my flesh."
