Let's talk about "Raine's Daughter", an old film from 1970, which won the 43rd Academy Award for photography. I thought Sanmao only mentioned this movie in "Allure", but I didn't expect that in "Amateur Fisherman" again: "I am madly in love with a handsome lame officer, and I am walking with him on this plateau. , surrounded by beautiful heather flowers, the wind is blowing my messy hair, he is watching me warmly - romantic and painful days!"
The British director took the love scene in the forest with a Zen mood, There are also chases under the moonlight, handsome men, military uniforms, leather boots, pain, romance, passion... Everything meets the imagination of young women in literature and art about love. That handsome and playful bag is a hook, and we have many iron rings in our hearts, which are fastened and tied firmly. The film also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, John Mills, who played the mentally retarded. Excellent acting, but not peerless, so the vulgar girls have nothing to say about him. In this face-seeing era, the balance is tipped on Christopher Jones, the handsome British major. He also won the Laureate Award and the Rising Star Award for this role, but unfortunately in other movies, his performance is mediocre. It is said that he retired after starring in "Ren's Daughter". It is rumored that he has some affection for Sharon Tate, the wife of the ghost director Polanski. After the news of her tragic death, he almost collapsed. He was filming "Rain's Daughter" at the time, and the role was well-timed, he was playing himself, and it seemed like it was meant to be.
Reality is far better than movies.
For the director, Christopher Jones is not a very ideal actor. His face is a masterpiece in natural light, and if the light is slightly off, it becomes another face. When he first appeared on the stage, that face reminded me of Fang Zhimin, a revolutionary comrade, special red, special communist, and turned to the pub. As soon as the lights changed, he became Brad Pitt. Fortunately, his profile was always his. Own. It's like when you were in middle school, you didn't know whether the boy you had a crush on or the dean came across. He also reminded me of the French star Alain Delon. The temperament of the two is exactly the same, gloomy and prickly, and I must have a hard childhood. Once a young and handsome man has a painful past, the mother gods will immediately fall in love, imagining that only she can save him in the world, romantic to death! In reality, this kind of man, his girlfriend and wife one after another, their emotional mind stays in infancy and needs a mother who can accommodate him. They are looking for mom. What shouldn't be said, those men who say "such a woman is suitable for a lover, not a wife, what kind of wife should I look for", in fact, what they want to say is "I need a mother, There is no need for a woman who pays equally to each other." Pull away. The male protagonist in the film actually suffers from a disease called PTSD, Traumatic Stress Disorder. This disease has a nice name in Chinese, commonly known as "epilepsy". The disease can lead to suicide, which David Lean handles appropriately at the end.
Disillusioned? It doesn't matter, watch the movie and see how worldly desires are expressed with grace. Nudity needs to be dressed, and emotions need to be packed.
Anything can be forgiven when a handsome officer runs towards his lover in the moonlight.
