The female voice is lingering in the deep music, and a clear voice like the Phantom of the Opera cuts through the night sky. At that moment, the tense and orderly lights of the night have already told me that this story about four hundred years of Orlando is dark and mysterious with death metal. Some whispering underwater ups and downs, waiting for you to look down.
This film is an adaptation of "Orlando" created by Virginia Woolf in 1928. It is the Woof that Nicole Kidman once portrayed in "The Moment", the Woof who sunk himself at the bottom of the stream. After finishing this movie, I felt the same anxiety as the Woolf that Nicole once showed, as if flowing under that body is this androgynous Orlando, different under the same body, interdependent and interdependent. Struggle, at that time, what Wu Fu wanted was also an answer, but unfortunately, even after four hundred years of lost and worldly investigation, there was still only one answer, which could be summed up by people.
As a man, he has everything; as a man, he loses his lover. Orlando was Queen Victoria's bodyguard, beloved for her beauty, blessed by the Queen "not withering, not growing old", and to possess the castle for eternity and eternity. He fell in love with the daughter of the Russian ambassador, and deeply felt the suspicion and jealousy of love, but his love was also betrayed at the end of the Great Freeze. At that time, although he had all the wealth as a man, he was in fact He also has a fragile and sensitive heart like a woman.
For four hundred years, after many experiences, he was ridiculed by the poet as a nouveau riche who wanted to be arty, became an ambassador to the Arabian desert in the east, and witnessed the cruelty of the war. Then, after seven days of deep sleep, he changed his gender and became a woman.
In the baptism of water in the golden sun, Orlando completed the transformation from a man into a woman, and a woman was born. And the mind seems far from ready. In that boring social occasion, she heard the comments of the great poets and scientists on women, with a tone of contempt, mockery and playfulness, she suddenly realized that those arrogant and ignorant men are the most stupid. . So when that same person with the incomparably noble arrogance of an English noble asked her to marry him, the body and mind that used to be a man finally refused like a woman. Not all women give up their human rights only for furs, diamonds and pearls.
As a woman, she lost everything; as a woman, she has the right to pursue freedom and courage like a man. She changed her gender and made her inheritance an obstacle. In the end, she lost the castle, but met her love. In the discussion between the two of men and women, she finally felt the mature thought that a woman should have. , It turns out that in the original man's body, there is a gentle heart like a woman, and in the woman's body, there is also a man's yearning for freedom. Just like she looked at the face of her lover lying on the bed, the face that was gentle and needed care like a woman, but she was firm.
The standard, wandering between the two, also lost between the two, when the southwest wind began to blow, her lover rode a black horse to the sound of the violin and the cold piano, and went with the wind.
Ah, the eternally anxious man and woman. Orlando, as a man, he has lost his love; as a woman, she has rebirth. The world has been reincarnated and exchanged, and it is not a simple man and a woman who are finally reborn, but the two merged, leaving the cruelty of fate.
Perhaps, this is Wu Fu's dream, freedom from the imprisonment of a simple body. Just like Orlando, who was finally looking up at the sky under the tree and shedding tears, was asked by her daughter "why are you sad", she replied "I feel very happy", Jimmy Somerville's "Coming" opera enchanted singing, flying on the sound.
