The road to love goes through the heart

1 Last night, I watched "Adele's Life" at IFC in New York, and it was not a niche at all. On the third day of its release, it was still necessary to book tickets long in advance and the venues were full. This film has high scores on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB, and it is very popular, but there are only two theaters in New York, which is probably a problem of scale. The concentration of gay men entering and leaving the theater is much higher than that of other regions, and there are also a large number of middle-aged and elderly people who look like literature and art.

2 There is absolutely no stunning and exaggerated legend. The uninterrupted sex scene, which is claimed to be comparable to an A-movie in ten-minute scale, has reached the key plot, and it has not shown much force. Previously, it was rumored on the Internet that "it can make men want to change sex and then engage in sex", it is really exaggerated to whet people's appetite Excessive. It's true that the heroine has been eating, food is the best metaphor for desire.

3 Adele has a strange natural sluggishness, she doesn't seem to care about everything, but she is a little nervous. It's really scary to cry, and her nose and tears flow wildly. I can't close my mouth, and I don't wash my head. Not my type of character.

4 I have limited patience for French films. The whole film was shot by hand, without a tripod for a second, but I liked close-up shots, just watching the faces in front of the camera shake and shake. Many plots and scenes are redundant, and it is useless to take literature and art as a defense - looking back in three hours, isn't it the story of "adolescent girls encounter true love in the exploration of sexuality and sexuality", the little one in the middle. The small twists and turns of feelings are mainly described, and other useless plots do not need to be faithfully preserved.

5 This film deliberately downplays the existence of "same-sex", focusing on the exploration process, no fuss, very unique. It is compared with "Room of Rome", which is classified as a les movie, which undoubtedly makes full use of the unique intimacy between women as a theme, while the two heroines in "adele" use traditional The relationship mode of love, which focuses on personal growth and change, is equally valuable.

6 The source of the tragedy is probably still the cliché of "each has his own chance to be a tour guide", and the gap between classes cannot be made up by short-lived passion. Adele was born in a typical utilitarian family, and her parents' pursuit of a stable job and family has invisibly influenced her pursuit and values, which is naturally incompatible with Emma, ​​who was born in an artistic family. No matter how much emphasis is placed on the influence of free will on stereotypes and classes, it is no match for the insurmountable gap of thought. The powerlessness and insignificance of people in a given social environment is the constant theme of tragedy, and the bloody plot of cheating and sleeping with the same sex and the opposite sex cannot hide this.

7 At the end of the film, Adele meets Emma in the restaurant, how sad the carnal impulses are in a desperate situation. "I have infinite tenderness, for you, and always will." The young love ends here, knowing that those nostalgia have not been wrongly paid, and should not regret it.
Uncle Hei, who came to take his wife to a movie next door, choked up when he heard this.

8 Love is "you opened a new world for me". Although I am grateful and adored, the difficulty and distance of going to that world cannot be achieved by love alone. Love can transcend age, nationality, gender, skin color... But the road to each other's world still has to be walked with a heart full of courage, ignorance and fearlessness. In those dazed pains, timidity and worries, we lead to what the director said - "pure, worldwide love", and the ending may be the least important thing in this way.
