It is narrated and discussed. If you are particularly concerned about being spoiled, it is recommended to read the whole film before reading it.
Men are worried about money, and women are worried about meat.
Although it is a work from 1977, it seems that it is not out of date now. Even due to the gradual formation of a "new class" in Chinese society, we will understand the "middle class" in the film better than before.
The male protagonist is an old gentleman. When he was returning from Spain to France by train, he saw a woman outside the car and poured a basin of water on her head.
The passengers sitting in the first-class box with the male protagonist were stuffed with surprise in their stomachs out of social etiquette. They are bored, and also suffer the audience. Why did the male protagonist, who was polite and well-mannered before, hate this young beauty so much?
The children in the box finally couldn't help:
The hero finally has to speak.
Everyone is listening, and so are we.
The two met at the boyfriend's friend's house. The male protagonist almost collided with the female protagonist holding a bottle of roses. If you are watching in a theater with an olfactory experience, there should be a romantic rose fragrance here~
The woman is a novice maid at a friend's house, and she doesn't even know which glass to use for red wine.
The male protagonist, who has a ghost in his heart, asked her to bring wine to the room that night.
This passage can be described as a "textbook" for workplace sexual harassment:
1. Find a reasonable job as a guise and create opportunities to be alone
2. Adjust the seats and lights to create an ambiguous atmosphere
3. Ask: What did you do before (see the experience), where did you come from (see the body), what did your father do (see the background)
4. Ask the age again, you are an adult
5. Touch your hair with your hands and move your feet while praising
The woman is very serious, she rejected the male lead, and immediately resigned, and has since disappeared.
The male protagonist who was on a business trip in Sweden was robbed, and he did not expect that the previous maid was a member of the gang.
The male protagonist's infatuation has not changed. He visits the house and finds that this young woman is from a poor family. Her father committed suicide 6 years ago, and her mother works as a janitor. In addition, the mother of the heroine is a devout Christian and insists that her daughter will learn bad if she goes out to make money, so she does not support her to work.
"I'm not that kind of girl!" The hostess raised her arms with a smirk.
"I understand." The male protagonist put his hand on the female protagonist's thigh and rubbed it twice.
The story of the male protagonist is told from day to night, and the audience still does not know how such infatuation and admiration can evolve into wanting to kill each other later.
The two continued to interact in a strange way. The man supported the difficult family of the heroine, and the heroine did not care about the man.
Once, the heroine danced so sweaty that she took off and scrubbed her clothes in front of the hero.
But even if the male protagonist was not allowed to touch it, he deliberately interrupted:
The heroine finally said that she was so reserved because she was still a virgin.
When the male protagonist heard it, he seemed to have got a big baby, and he held her hand and kissed her fiercely:
Seeing that all the moves made to the heroine were gracefully bounced back, the hero was determined to attack the heroine's mother.
The mother took the money and happily agreed to everything: not to get married first, to live together, and to send her daughter over in person.
The male protagonist arranges the love nest meticulously and happily waits for the female protagonist to move in, like a New Guinea gardener bird in the animal world.
Hearing the doorbell, he jumped up to the door with a rose to greet him, but only received a letter. The letter was written by the female lead, saying that she had already decided to dedicate herself to the male lead, but because the money transaction between the male lead and her mother made her very angry, she decided to never meet the male lead again.
The male protagonist is troubled by love, so he finds a friend to drink and talk to.
Friends naturally despised his behavior when he was still dazed at his age.
Unexpectedly, the hostess happened to be working in the store's clothing store. The two met again.
The heroine seemed to have forgotten the past, and said that she would go to the man's residence to find him, and said with a righteous expression, "There, I will become your lover."
The male protagonist was very excited, "When? Today?"
"No, the day after tomorrow."
get it.
Finally, finally arrived at the male protagonist's house.
As soon as the hostess entered the door, she found photos of other women, "Who is she?"
The male protagonist explained that it was a photo of his wife who passed away 7 years ago, and that he loved her very much.
The hostess said I wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to be here.
So, another room change.
After changing rooms, the hostess has been talking sweetly:
"With you, I feel as if everything around me doesn't exist. If you leave me, I'll be dead. You know, Mathieu, I promise you tonight, but I'm afraid, I don't have the strength. "
Then I said dizziness for a while, and I had to close the window for a while, procrastinating all the time.
Finally, she listened to the male protagonist's words and changed into her pajamas, feeling that it was time to get to the point.
I think, seeing this, all the audience will be on the side of the male lead. It's really not easy...! ! Taking one step and taking a step back is simply going to grind people to death!
The male protagonist was also really angry:
After the heroine was overwhelmed, she whispered again:
...
The male protagonist really obediently got up and put out all the candles.
Touch and touch in the dark, "Your skin is so smooth, your belly..."
Found something weird!
The climax is here! ! ! She actually wore something like this:
The male protagonist couldn't solve it for a long time, and sat beside the bed and cried angrily:
This meme is both sad and funny.
The female protagonist has a beautiful face and high skills. Relying on the male protagonist's high desire for her, she coaxed the male protagonist fearlessly, and finally they were at peace with each other:
Conchita: I've been meaning to ask you. Mathieu: Ask. Conchita: Why are you making love to me? Mathieu: Because I love you. Conchita: I love you too. However, I don't want to have sex with you, we are together, I am in your arms, I stroke you, you have my legs, lips and breasts. But why do you have to have sex? Mathieu: Because, it's normal, it's natural, all people who are in love do it. Conchita: So, do you think I'm abnormal? Mathieu: Let's go, let's go.
He keeps saying that he loves himself, but always refuses to have sex. The male protagonist is puzzled, "Do you only like my money?", "Am I too old?", "Uh, if you just want to remain a virgin Well, we have other options~"
The lady was angry again. She ran to another room, only to be found by the male protagonist that she was hiding a friend of the opposite sex at home, and it had been hidden for three days.
The male protagonist couldn't take it anymore and threw both of them out of the house.
At this time, the male protagonist is truly lost in love. Frustrated, he chatted with his friends, who gave him advice to expel the immigrant mother and daughter back to their hometown, and suggested that he go on a trip to relax.
When the hero returns home, he closes his eyes and clicks on the map to choose a travel destination. At that time, he pointed to Singapore, but he still went to the hometown of the heroine. (no cure)
Unexpectedly, I actually met him!
The heroine was very happy to see him, but her attitude was still the same. kiss Me? please do not! You can kiss my hair. This……
The male protagonist goes to see her in the club where the female protagonist works.
When he entered the club, the hostess danced serious flamenco on stage. When she was called away by the boss, she told the male protagonist that the boss asked us to go upstairs to rest for half an hour because he was worried that we would fall asleep on the stage.
The joy of the reunion was delayed for another half an hour.
As a result, the heroine said to go upstairs to rest, but it was a striptease for a room of strange men:
Facing the deception of the female lead, the male lead was very hurt. However, we all know the result, and the two will still be together:
The male protagonist gave the female protagonist a house, and the two plan to live in the love nest together:
"I can give you all of it at midnight today."
OK.
In the evening, the male protagonist came to the door happily. The female protagonist asked through the fence door, "Kiss my hands, kiss my feet", and the male protagonist did it one by one:
Then the female protagonist continued on her upper body, scolding the male protagonist, saying that she was forced to go to bed every time, and felt particularly disgusting when kissing, and said that she actually had another lover:
As he said that, he spread out the mat on the ground and made it in front of the male protagonist.
poor man...
Only then, 10 minutes before the end of the film, did we understand why he hated this woman so much later.
After designing such a dramatic scene the night before, the female protagonist took the initiative to come to the door and come to... condolences to the male protagonist. Commonly known as "see if you're dead":
And told him that everything last night was fake. That man is gay, they are just acting for the male protagonist. She wanted to witness the wrath of the male protagonist with her own eyes to prove that she was passionately loved.
The story goes back to the present tense, and the heroine who boarded the train at the beginning of the film reconciled with the hero again as before.
At the end of the film, they look through the window to see the tailor mending the blood-stained lace nightdress they brought, which seems to confirm the statement that the heroine was a virgin before:
The two left hand in hand. During the conversation, they didn't know how the male protagonist offended the female protagonist.
Just then, there was an explosion. The smoke gradually covered the whole picture.
The elements of terrorist attacks that have been interspersed in the film come in handy at this moment.
No matter how much love, hate, love and hatred are pulled, it can't overcome the impermanence of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Suddenly, there is nothing left in the world. And we ever existed is the most absurd story.
Seeing the screenshots above, or watching the film, many people will feel that the heroine's face has been changing, and thus suspect that they are face blind.
The reality is that this role is played by two people: one is the French actress Carole Bouquet and the other is the Spanish actress Ángela Molina.
Others play one person and play two roles, and director Buñuel takes a different approach. Many people are speculating on the symbolic meaning of this arrangement, but according to the director's memoirs, it was because one of the actresses gave up in the middle of the performance, and the director had an idea and came up with such a trick.
A woman's face is always changing.
In my opinion, both actresses have their own complexities. Of course, it's not a waste to play the two together, because obviously this arrangement makes the complexity of the role change exponentially increase.
There is a song called "Women are Tigers"
The young monk went down the mountain to Huazhai. The old monk confessed that the woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger. If you meet a tiger, you must avoid it and walk through villages and villages. The tiger is the most powerful, the young monk was so frightened that he ran away: Master... The bad bad bad tiger has broken into my heart.
It can be seen that, as the ever-changing object of desire, women have always been a love-hate, and even fearful existence for men.
A master director known for his surrealism, Buñuel puts a lot of bouncing candy in what at first glance looks like a bisexual sketch.
For example, the political situation in Europe (much like today), mice and flies that are not in harmony with the scene, the pig in the woman's arms, the sack on the male protagonist, and so on.
A friend once asked me how to distinguish a master from a craftsman. I think someone like Buñuel who can relocate normal things to abnormal places and always get good results is one of the originality of the master. If it is a craftsman, I am afraid there is no such imagination, and no such mixing skills.
Although it is an old movie, it is very interesting to watch.
Every second of the film constitutes tension, the male protagonist is played by the female protagonist, and the audience is also played by the director.
Yes, no; east and west; when you are nervous about knowing what to do next, I will give you a train tunnel...it's a bible for rhythm control!
The game process inside and outside the film also produced a kind of black humor.
The last film of this directorial career, made by Buñuel at the age of 77, is still so successful.
The middle class, represented by the male protagonist, constantly pursues simple desires, but suffers setbacks and shatters of hope again and again. In the eyes of other classes, I am afraid it is "full to support."
And the insecurities in society made his efforts to have sex with a woman all the more absurd. Robbery at gunpoint, plane crash, explosion... A human life can end at any time. Even if you can wait until One Thousand and One Nights to comfort each other, that's not something you can control. Life is short, things are impermanent, and do it and cherish it.
