if destined to separate

"Blue Deep Sea": This is a beautiful and dull film that Maoguai watched three years ago. Although it is hard to stop drowsiness after running around all day, I still read it patiently. The always impatient hair monster has a natural patience for movies, novels, and food. Movies are furry monsters' most wonderful toys. Some may be more troublesome, some may be more complicated, some may end in tragedy, some may be tedious and boring, but there is no doubt that its diversity and essential nihilism have enriched the life of the fur monster. Floating comfort. After watching a lot of movies, I will understand that the world is different, and human emotions are so complicated. The truth seems to be within easy reach but out of reach. It really answers the sentence like a dream bubble. The deep blue sea, the English name The Deep Blue Sea, under the deep blue sea, there is a song of ice and fire. (There is also a naked appearance of the male god Shiverson! Covering the nosebleed...) No matter whether the three views are consistent or not, it is worth watching. After all, the moral standards of human beings are always changing, and only the appreciation of talent and beauty has been passed down through the ages.

The whole movie is beautiful, all the scenes are nostalgic and beautiful, with a strong taste of retro England in the middle of the twentieth century. The slightly neurotic magnetic sound of HESTER, the graceful background music of the violin, the erratic sense of light, the old-fashioned building’s wallpaper with yellow and chic patterns, the jumping time and space scene switching, the inadvertent but accurate expression of the stream of consciousness, although the plot is simple enough Three sentences can solve it, and it is still a feast for the senses.

Next, tell the story in three sentences. HESTER is the wife of an old-school gentleman who lives with her mother-in-law to maintain the elegance and dullness of the upper class, and she falls in love when she meets Freddie, a young officer who has returned from military service. As a result, he decided to leave home and live with FREDDIE. FREDDIE played by Dou Sen was so handsome, suave and unruly, HESTER, as Zhang Ailing said, "was low in the dust, but happily bloomed", and the results were repeatedly disappointed. Attempted suicide.

This is an old topic between the sexes, about love and freedom, about giving and receiving, about attachment and letting go, about struggle and compromise. We have always thought that in emotional life, women are always in a weak position. It seems like this, HESTER gives up everything, does not want a stable life in the upper class, does not want a gentle and careful husband, does not want a superior position, and loves FREDDIE desperately, but after all, he was let down. , In the end, FREDDIE was so ruthless that he was almost vicious and decided to leave. HESTER gave everything he had, but he really had nothing. In my eyes, it is actually the British version of Anna Karenina.

But is this really the case? FREDDIE's sentence in the film is very thought-provoking: I didn't ask you to love me with my life, and I can't love you as you asked. Yes, A loves B desperately, so why should he ask B to love A like that? What appears to be weakness is actually another form of strength. If I can't give you the love you want, must I be in debt? I can't give it, can you kill yourself? Should it be my fault if you committed suicide? I have loved you, so do I have to love your mother all the time? I loved you and I still love you, should I give up the life I want to live and live the way you do? Do I have no right to leave? I don't have the right to stop loving anymore? I seem to hear the male protagonist's inner roar, and somewhat understand his hysteria and ruthlessness.

Achieving true understanding between the sexes is difficult, based on multiple hurts and despair. When maturity arrives, it is probably the time when true love arrives. Even if it is true love, it cannot be guaranteed that it will always be the same as the first sight. Salinger wrote in "Heart of a Broken Story": "Loving you is the most important thing, Miss Lester. Some people think that love is sex, marriage, six o'clock kisses, a bunch of children, maybe That's true, Miss Lester. But do you know how I think about it? I think love wants to touch, but then takes back." The love that wants to touch and take back is so beautiful and tormented, it's impossible to ask for it. , is short-lived, is an instant fireworks, it is destined to face life across the bank. So Freddie's decision to leave in the end is completely understandable.

If you are destined to be separated, how should you face it? When the sworn love vanished, the landlady gave good advice: when something bad happens that never happened, keep your last dignity, and life will go on, suicide is not worth it. Last but not least, BE SAVE, BE GOOD! There is no conflict between love and freedom, but does the smile on the last corner of HESTER's mouth mean that there is still a future and a new beginning? Hopefully it will be a story without love and murder.

The Deep Blue Sea quotes

  • Hester Collyer: Lust isn't the whole of life, but Freddie is, you see, for me. The whole of life. And death. So, put a label on that, if you can.

  • Mrs. Elton: A lot of rubbish is talked about love. You know what real love is? It's wiping someone's arse or changing the sheets when they've wet themselves. And letting them keep their dignity so you can both go on.
