In her life, she failed to "climb the wall" and painted the ground as a prison, never letting Mr. Stephen get out of her emotional world.
When she fell in love with the musician, all she knew about him was his looks and his work. She spent her whole life trying to get close to him, following his news, even if she knew that he was not a good man, even if she knew that his talents had been exhausted after wasting time on women, and she was nothing to everyone, even if he showed The appearance that came out was not the same as before, still holding a trace of fantasy, tentatively appeared beside him, and then left in disappointment, but never really left.
I'm a little curious if she can actually live with Mr. Stephen for a while, like she and her husband have, whether the relationship can still go on so vigorously and desperately.
Intense love is based on ignorance of each other.
Max Orpheus worked in theater for a long time before he became a film director. His film works always have a taste of drama. This emotion is often seen in dramas like moths to flames. It seems that he will choose it. theme. Just like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, they met, knew each other, and promised each other, but within a few days, poor Miss Rosalind was left behind and unfortunately became the foreshadowing of this vigorous relationship.
The director has always paid attention to the use of details. He is good at using symbols, such as the stairs in the play, to reflect the fate and mood of the characters. Mr. Stephen's status as a musician was illustrated by the porter lifting the piano up the stairs. At that time, a musician was a high and noble status for Lisa, and it was difficult to climb. And when Lisa first saw Mr. Stephen bringing the woman home, she raised her head, listened to their laughing voices, and watched their figures go up the steps step by step, like a distant dream. When Mr. Stephen's talent was gone, she stood at the top of the steps, looking down, staring at his figure, his image in her heart had gradually collapsed. However, even as she went higher and higher on the road of life, Lisa never got rid of the traces that Mr. Stephen left in her heart in her life. He only left a smile, but it became a scar, which slashed her ruthlessly. lifetime. This feeling has always been the bondage of her alone.
Orpheus once borrowed the line "For me, life is movement" from the heroine of one of his masterpieces, Laura Mundys, to express his views on film and life, and this movement is also expressed in In the fate of Lisa and Stephen, Lisa's address is changing, her status is changing, and her whole life is changing. On the other hand, Stephen has not changed his address since he moved next door to Lisa's house. , his status has also gradually declined from a high place, Lisa's life is constantly changing because of her own efforts, while Stephen is left behind by fate because he is immersed in sensuality. Lisa's only misfortune, her unchanging love for Stephen, caused her emotional tragedy, which also seems to validate Orpheus' philosophy of life.
You must not know that your inadvertent smile is a shackle that I can't get rid of in my life.
