Talking About Genius Girlfriend Episode 3: Transmutation

The fourth episode is the one with the largest amount of information and the most complicated images since it was broadcast. "The border disappears" is not difficult to understand, but what is difficult to understand is what Lila sees after the "border disappears". Her grief is not superficial and accidental, she really sees the truth and the essence. I hope I got the point, and I hope I made it clear. The 4D text is long, but you can skip directly to the part you want to read.

She was going through what she later called "the disappearance of boundaries." She said that it was like a bright moon shining on the sea, but a black cloud swept from the sky and devoured everything. Lila imagined, saw, felt, like it all came true. Her brother disintegrated, and in front of her eyes, Reno's usual expression revealed, allowing her to see his essence. Every second of that New Year's night terrified her.

Scene 1: The sea in front of you

The sound effects of the Sim City Market are loud, and the crowd in the shot is more active than Elena's birthplace, and they are laughing, the space and tone are more comfortable, forming a sensual sense of the two places. contrast. Elena looked around curiously, clearly excited about her new surroundings. She is about to step into the gate of high school. Today, her father signed her up with her, and is now taking her into the place where she works - the courthouse, where he is the porter.

The father gleefully showed off to his two janitor colleagues that his daughter had gone to high school with excellent grades, which was the most boastful thing in his life.

Father greeted the judge who came in and wanted to introduce Elena to the judge. He wanted to pave the way for Elena to find a job in the court. My father mentioned this in the third episode. At that time, my father wanted Elena to drop out of school to find a job in the court.

The judge's cold sentence "it's not the time" extinguished the excitement on his father's face. The difference in identity and the superiority of the class were such a naked shackle for the bottom people, it was difficult to overcome.

My father's concierge colleague used a proverb to describe this distinction between the noble and the lowly: "If it is a hammer, strike hard; if it is an anvil, stand still. We are an anvil, and we can only stand still." When hammering something, the anvil can only be placed at the bottom to withstand the beating of the hammer. It's a perfect metaphor for the relationship between the lower class and the upper class.

After leaving the courthouse, my father continued to hang out in the city with Elena. The sky is blue and bright like never before, the streets are so clean that there is not a single scrap of paper, there are more cars than people on the road, and the vehicles are coming and going, and the mechanical sounds representing modern civilization flock to the cochlea like a wave.

Meeting an acquaintance head-on, my father went on to repeat his pitiful cookie-cutter saying: My daughter is in high school and she's brilliant. Elena noticed a special thing, that is, there was a sea near the road, she walked over absently, leaning on the railing to look out. This is the first time she has seen the sea in her memory. The peaceful and wide sea is close to her eyes, shimmering in the sun. The sea seems to be inadvertently dotted with a few white sails, and it is indifferent to the rolling clouds in the sky. corresponding. Seabirds swept across the sky, leaving behind a string of unvoiced sounds. In the distance, there are green hills that are almost losing their color.

Elena's thoughts surged. Of course, she immediately remembered the failed experience of watching the sea in her childhood, and she also thought of Lila. The distant place at that time, now suddenly, is in front of me.

The background music of Elena looking at the sea is as soft and gentle as the panning shot in front of her, showing Elena's intoxication and moving.

Session Two: Greek Words

At this time, the scene was extremely smooth and turned to return home after Elena affectionately recounted to Lila how she looked at the sea during the day. Unexpectedly, Lila didn't respond and said something else instead. Elena said, "Didn't you hear what I said?" Lila started teaching Elena to dance.

Lila's psychology is so sensitive and fragile. When she feels that her self-esteem is hurt, she will immediately find it somewhere else and regain her advantage.

When Elena was learning the dance steps, Lila said the word "gramophone" inadvertently but deliberately: "Do you know what language 'gramophone' is from?" Elena didn't know, Lila shook easily He got up and said, "It's Greek." Elena's expression dropped immediately.

Greek is a high school curriculum, and Oliviero asked Elena to tell Lila that she would go to high school and learn Greek to motivate Lila to keep going. Lila did, but Elena didn't expect her to do it so quickly. So much so that Elena is still on vacation before high school, and Lila has already started learning Greek.

Lila was victorious, and continued to say, "I'll show you the Greek word for 'gramophone' in a moment."

Then the old Elena's narration sounded: "She always does something I have to do before me, and does it better than me."

The subtle competitive relationship between the two has always existed, not only in their studies, but also in love.

For Lila, Elena's further studies and progress are the motivation for her to drop out of school but not to give up her studies. For Elena, without Lila's stimulation and occasional encouragement, she would probably just be an ordinary girl who looks like everyone else. Her vision, knowledge, and psychology will not mature slowly, and she will continue to transform towards modern women. This is the indispensable relationship between them. Their friendship and rivalry saved each other and made each other.

Scene Three: Temptation and Danger

Many acquaintances were in attendance at Jiyola's name day party. This led to a dangerous contradiction, as it was the first time that Archie's children and the carpenter's children were under the same roof since their father's feud. The two groups of people looked at each other awkwardly, and the air became embarrassed.

Pasquale, the son of the carpenter, stood up from the chair, his face dignified, and he walked slowly towards Stefano, the son of Achille. The two formed a silent confrontation. Both parents (two mothers) were also nervous.

Unexpectedly, Pasquale suddenly stood on tiptoe, stretched out his left foot to draw a semi-circle, stretched out his right foot to draw a semi-circle again, and started a freestyle dance step by himself. The two mothers looked at each other, and the stone in their hearts could be regarded as falling to the ground. Pasquale invited his companions to dance again, and a possible disaster was eliminated. Stefano, who was standing on the side, also relaxed his muscles and smiled.

This time the smoke of gunpowder calmed down logically for the later Stefano to invite everyone to his house to set off fireworks for New Year's Eve.

Now we can go back to Lila, why did Lila suddenly learn to dance? It was for the party, of course, Lila had grown and became more and more beautiful, she was a woman.

We should also notice that Lila's outfits (looks) have changed unknowingly. In the previous three episodes, Lila was dressed in dirty witch-style dark clothes. Her body was also tightly wrapped, so she was not exposed to wind or rain. People look like they were drilled out from under a sewage manhole cover.

Now, the color of Lila's clothes is slowly lit up, and the style has become much tighter, which outlines the curves of her slender and graceful body. Her hair was also neat and shiny. The temperament of the whole person is also a little more familiar and warm, and there is less savagery that uses a knife and a gun. The youthful charm of a mature woman can be heard and seen on her. This is even more apparent in episode 5, when the men around her are crazy about her.

And this will be at the party. Enzo, the vegetable and fruit seller who has had a crush on her since childhood, invited her to dance with a vegetable and fruit vendor pushing a scooter. Originally, Lila said that she didn't want to leave Elena, who couldn't dance, alone, but with her character, how could she be so prepared and yet hold back the limelight? With a charming smile, the wine glass was shoved into Elena's hands, and Lila walked into the center of the dance hall, leaving Elena alone in the corner.

As soon as Lila made her move, she knew if there was any. Her dancing is lively and charismatic, and the female hormones permeate the whole scene. Enzo, who danced with her, was so happy that his eyes turned into moons; Stefano bit his lip and looked up and down her hot figure; Pasquale danced with his sister Carmela, but his eyes kept looking at her here.

Another sudden situation happened at this moment, Solara twins Marcello and Michele walked in. This is also reasonable, isn't Jiyola's father working in their pastry shop? It's just that these two are not better than Stefano's self-cultivation, they are coming to life. Antonio, who was beaten by them before, took his sister Ada to avoid it. After being "blessed" by Lila with a knife at the end of the third episode of Marcello, she has since fallen in love with this blade-like woman, not to mention that Lila looks so charming at this time. As soon as Marcello came in, his eyes were glued to her, as unpleasant as chewing gum. He stared straight at Lila, mentally undressing for Lila.

The sons of Marcello and Stefano, two of the most powerful families in the area, are both in love with Lila, and they are waiting for the chance to dance with Lila.

But they forgot the existence of another man, just one song. When Marcello and Stefano walked towards Lila at the same time, Pasquale took the lead in taking Lila as his own, and the others had no choice but to retreat. to the side.

Stefano did nothing, and Marcello sent his brother to tell Giola's mother to drive Pasquale out. Pasquale was invited aside by Giyola's mother, and the vulgar Marcello immediately took advantage of the situation from behind. He stroked Lila's body, his sinister eyes overflowed with undisguised desire, and in the hormonal music. , Marcello's dance is full of erotic hints. And Lila kept her eyes blurred and immersed in it, as if she didn't realize the identity of the person in front of her.

Pasquale was treated unfairly, but had to leave, he came over and told his companions to go with him. But Lila was clearly in the midst of a spiritual climax.

Elena couldn't stand it any longer, and woke Lila, Lila seemed to see that her dance partner was Marcello at this moment, and refused Marcello's invitation to continue.

Lila left Jiyola's house with everyone. After going out, Lila exaggeratedly accused Marcello to Elena: "He touched me, this rubbish! If Rino was here, he would have died a long time ago. !"

Elena said, "You shouldn't have danced with him!"

Lila was unable to speak.

Did Lila realize that it was Marcello who was dancing with her? From what Elena said, she thought Lila knew. Lila did not refute, and seemed to silently acquiesce.

I also think that Lila knew that Marcello was by her side. After dancing for so long, it was hard not to realize that the reason why she closed her eyes was just pretending to be invisible. After going out, scolding Marcello to Elena was trying to cover up the behavior that was difficult for him to tell the past. In fact, because of Lila's sex, she really wants to fight with Marcello, so why does her brother need to be present?

Of course, Lila doesn't really like Marcello, she hates Marcello, it's just that Lila just learned to dance, she got a stage to show her charm in front of men and Elena, she is She put it into practice for the first time after learning to dance, so she was inevitably immersed in it and did not want to leave. So even with Marcello by her side, she continued to jump. Because it doesn't matter who is by her side, the important thing is that she has become the focus of everyone, and the important thing is that she enjoys the feeling of being noticed too much. Pasquale roared:

"Solara Bar is a stronghold of gangsters and loan sharks, they run a black market in it, they canvass for monarchists and fascists!"

The fierce Pasquale had to wait downstairs to settle accounts with the Solara brothers, and Carmela's brother Antonio also began to support his resistance.

Pasquale blamed Lila for dancing with someone like Marcello who was the complete opposite of their class attributes. Lila said, "I'm not dancing with anyone, I'm just dancing, and I'm not dancing with you." Solo dance. She raised her voice and cursed, "What the fuck do you want from me!"

But at this time Lila seemed to bow her head a little guilty, while Elena looked at her silently. It's a rather obscure shot, which seems to mean that she's hiding her acceptance of dancing with Marcello, which Elena clearly knows. In fact, it wasn't just Elena who saw that Lila was just being stubborn. The eyes of Enzo and Pasquale showed that they saw Lila's emotional out-of-control at that time, but they didn't want to break it and hurt Lila's self-esteem.

But Pasquale's speech made Lila realize some truth that she hadn't discovered before. Lila didn't expect that she had made such a serious mistake in dancing with Marcello. Lila, who was aggrieved and blamed herself, burst into tears.

Seeing her sad and self-blaming look, Pasquale's heart softened immediately, and he gave up the impulsive idea of ​​desperately fighting with the Solara brothers.

Lila was very interested in Pasquale's novel and fierce words, and she took the initiative to ask Pasquale these questions, hoping that he could teach her. Lila hopes to use him to further see the nature of this society.

The poor friends left together, and only Elena looked at Lila's charming back, thoughtful. The narration sounded:

"Gradually, it wasn't just me—because I'd been following her since first grade—everyone discovered that Lila could secrete a fluid that was not only seductive but dangerous."

Lila's attractiveness (both to the opposite sex or the same sex) and danger have been consistent from childhood to adulthood, and it is obvious that she has the ability to rely on her personal charm to influence the people around her. As a child, Elena was drawn to her, and Enzo was attracted to her; now, Pasquale loves her, and Enzo still likes her; even rich children, Stefano and Marcello, covet her.

The English subtitle here is "fluid", and the Chinese subtitle is naturally "liquid", but I suspect that the Italian line may not be like this, because it is very confusing, if it is "liquid", then the most reliable explanation is " tears". Lila was crying just now, and Pasquale was softened by her and changed her mind, which really makes sense. But other things don't make sense, because we know that Lila didn't grow up charisma through tears.

I flipped through the original book and saw this:

"I felt that she also had a wildness about her, an air of evil, so to speak, evil - an exaggerated word I found in fairy tale books I read as a child. I came up with these ideas naively, that There's a reason for that. In fact, Lila's aura is not only tempting, it's dangerous, and gradually, it's not just me who can feel it - I've been feeling it since we were in first grade. Feeling the breath, everyone feels it now.”

I think the word "breath" used in the original book is still appropriate. But I can't see the original English text, I see the translation, and maybe it must be the case.

Anyway, it's meant to be said: Lila is sexy, Lila is dangerous.

Scene 4: Where the lights are dimmed

As soon as the narration changed, the picture naturally cut to the picture of Lila's high school enrollment: "After school started, on the one hand, I was tormented because I didn't have time to be with Lila; on the other hand, I was very happy to get rid of her. ."

Why is Elena happy to get rid of Lila? Just imagine the situation Elena and Lila were in when they were together, Lila not only learned Greek before she entered school, but she was the center of attention, loved by everyone, she was sexy, she was mature, she was dangerous, But it exudes a fatal attraction. And Elena, just a high school student whose acne has not disappeared, her expression is dull, and her body is developed, but her mind is still quite immature.

In class, a Greek teacher is teaching the Italian epic, the Aeneid, by the Roman poet Virgil. Elena was distracted and gloomy, she must be thinking about what happened around Lila. The teacher asked her to narrate what happened next, but she mispronounced a Greek word, which drew laughter. Being able to be laughed at by all her classmates shows that her learning new knowledge is still an old problem: slow heat.

The pharmacist's son, Gino (the one looking at the chest) is also laughing, but I don't think he got a point of laughter at the level of zero in the test, he's just following what others say.

Alfonso was also in the same class as Elena, and he was sitting next to Gino, and he turned his head and made a smile that made Elena laugh.

During lunch time, Elena was alone leaning against the pillar outside the classroom and nibbling on bread. The students around were all lively and chatting and laughing. Only the introverted Alfonso, like her, leaned on the opposite side by herself. Eat bread by the pillar.

"Saratore!" A sudden voice called, as if knocking on the door of Elena's memory. This was the surname of the poet who had already moved, and she found that the person whose surname was called was the poet's son Nino, the boy who once said he wanted to marry her but left without saying goodbye.

Now Nino is tall and good-looking, with dashing curly hair and a pair of glasses, which makes him more artistic. He was easygoing and had a habit of smoking. If I say, he exudes the same seductive yet dangerous aura as Lila.

Session 5: Comprehensive Suppression

After school, Elena ran quickly to Lila's shoe store, what did she want to do? Naturally, she shared her feelings about meeting Nino again. It's just that she was timid when she walked to the door and planned to leave. Lila stopped her.

They share a sandwich at the shoe store, and Elena doesn't confide in her admiration for Nino. The two chatted about "Aeneid", and Lila's reading progress has exceeded Elena's learning progress at school. Lila talks about the tragic love story of Queen Dido and Aeneas.

After the fall of Troy, the hero Aeneas led the warriors out of the burnt city of Troy to find a new home in the Mediterranean Sea. The storm made him meet Dido, the queen of Carthage, Dido fell in love with Aeneas deeply and hoped that he would stay, but Aeneas left the queen because of the mission of rebuilding the country, and finally the queen committed suicide martyrdom.

Lila expresses her deep and unique point of view with this story: "The whole story is about Dido falling in love, and despite her pain, she believes in love. I think what this book says is that without love, not only A person's life loses its value, and the whole city loses its value. Aeneas abandoned her, as it always has been." Lila's view of love is pessimistic and negative, which may be due to the childhood relationship between a mad widow and a poet The story left a deep impression on her.

The story also made Elena think about the mad widow and the poet, and she couldn't help but talk about seeing Nino at school during the day. Lila didn't realize Elena's secret crush on Nino, and she expressed her opinion strongly: "You have to stop him and tell him about Melina's current situation so that his dad can know."

Elena began to inquire about Lila's relationship status. She obviously didn't want to fall behind Lila emotionally, so she wanted to find out if Lila had started a relationship. Speaking of this topic, Lila's shoulders shrug easily, because many men are after her, and she is better than Elena.

Lila, who has little interest in relationships, begins to tell Elena what she has learned from Pasquale, and she articulates the workings of the small society around them. And Elena didn't have such insight - Lila killed Elena N+1 times in seconds.

However, although our Elena realizes with hindsight, she has always been ashamed and courageous. Lila's total suppression once again stimulated her desire to fight, and she began to study hard again.

Session 6: Psychological Superiority

Hard work pays off, it's time to harvest. In class the day before Christmas, the high school teachers announced the test results, and Elena got an "A" in Greek.

After school, the gutless Elena followed behind Nino (following Lila when she was a child and now following Nino), but did not dare to come forward to recognize each other.

The messenger Gino ran over and confessed to Elena, and Elena agreed. The reason is simple, not because she has a crush on Gino - not at all in fact - but because she wants to have a boyfriend before Lila. Finally, in love, Elena had a slight lead, but that was because Lila didn't care about it at all.

But Elena, who has "double harvest" in her studies and love, developed a sense of superiority:

"I have a strong feeling: I'm out of the poor neighborhood where I grew up, I'm in high school, and my classmates are learning Latin and Greek, not masons (Pasquale), mechanics (Antonio), A fruit seller (Enzo), or a shoemaker like her (Lila)."

The psychologically balanced Elena is finally happy to visit Lila again (a woman).

Scene 7: Dream Bubbles

Lila and Reno finally tell Elena what they've been doing quietly, and it turns out they've been secretly designing an elegant new leather shoe. Reno dreamed of building the shoe, selling it to rich people, and then becoming rich himself. They took out the sample shoes, and Reno, ignoring the obvious flaws, insisted that the shoes were of good quality, but Lila pointed out where the shoes were not good enough, and calmly thought they had not succeeded at all.

Reno is very angry. He is eager to succeed, but he is not completely rigorous and hardworking. He has a pink fantasy about ideals, as if he can achieve success with similar efforts, and he will become rich. Reno lost his mind and lost his temper at Lila, who calmly pulled Elena out.

Scene 8: Maintain or Change

Lila and Elena came to Stefano's grocery store to line up to buy supplies for Christmas, and Stefano spotted Lila at a glance and provided them with convenience.

Lila saw the picture of Elena and Alfonso smiling at each other, and was happy for her, but she also deliberately mocked Elena: "You look beautiful, even with pimples on your face." Lila's personalized language style is not really malicious satire of Elena.

While leaving, Stefano suddenly came over and invited them to his house to celebrate the New Year. Lila thought that Stefano was hypocritical and deliberately gave him problems, saying that the carpenter (Alfredo) family would also come, which means that your family occupied their family's property, and their family killed your father, this one. Can you accept it calmly? To her surprise, Stefano sincerely stated that everyone can come to his house for New Year's Eve. And he also said a very provocative sentence: "New year, new life (life)." Lila was moved, and she seemed to recognize Stefano's tolerance and sincerity.

Elena and Lila are puzzled by Stefano's perverse behavior, and Elena believes that Stefano is trying to win Lila's favor, so that even the son of an enemy can accept it. Can this be explained?

Lila, who had been thinking, suddenly said, "I understand."

The screen cuts to the shoe store, where Lila, Elena, Pasquale, Enzo, Reno, Antonio and others gather to discuss Stefano's Christmas invitation.

Lila made her point: Stefano wanted to do something high-profile, to prove that he was not like his father, that he was trying to clear things up.

Elena was the first to agree with her, and proceeded to elaborate further slowly. What we need to notice is that not only is Lila's cognition more and more mature, but Elena's mind is also becoming more and more mature. When Elena spoke, she held her hands on her chest with a calm expression, and she was also wearing a coat that represented stability. The focus of the camera was also on her, and she deliberately stood in the center of the crowd.

The main reason for the evolution of the minds of Lila and Elena is from the competition between the two. Previously, Lila began her search for the truth about society from Pasquale, and she relayed her latest knowledge to Elena. Elena didn't know anything about this at first, but after she was unwilling, she worked harder. Now, they both speak much wiser and more mature than their peers are the result of this learning. They must have read a lot of history and sociology.

No one else could keep up with Lila and Elena's insights. Lila went on to explain: Stefano was trying to be nicer than the Solara brothers, who were worse than their father and grandfather.

Others still disagreed with Lila's analysis. Enzo thinks Stefano invited them to show off. Pasquale accused the Karachi family of wrongdoing. He fiercely expressed the deep hatred between Stefano and them.

Lila nodded approvingly. "You're right, but that's the problem. Do you want to keep the status quo or change it? If we want to change the status quo, we should stand by Stefan who suggests we change. On the side of Nuo, or on the side of the Solara family who are poisoning the entire neighborhood?"

Of course, everyone didn't want to stand on either side, and their past debts prevented them from taking the turning point.

At this time, it was Rino's words that broke the deadlock. What he meant was: If we go to Stefano's house to set off fireworks, it is a perfect opportunity to take revenge on the Solara family.

His angle made everyone happy, and everyone's eyes exchanged, obviously they all agreed: go.

Scene 9: The disappearance of borders

On Christmas day, many poor families in the neighborhood came to Karachi's house, the door opened, and Stefano stood at the door with a happy face, welcoming the families who came to visit, Lila, Elena and friends entered, and finally. One is Pasquale. Pasquale and Stefano's handshake marked an ostensible reconciliation.

There was a portrait of Achille, the bloody demon, in the living room, and the companions glanced at it, feeling a little nervous in their hearts. This shot represents an old feud from the past, in contrast to the next shot where Stefano toasts. When Stefano raised a glass to the carpenter Alfredo's family, it meant that Pasquale had to dispel the old hatred with his own hands. His appearance is deceiving, and his words are seductive:

"In the new year, good things will happen to each of us, children and the elderly alike. Let go of the past, for ourselves, and for a better neighborhood, Happy New Year!"

Lila kept her eyes on Stefano, with a smile on her face, admiring what Stefano did. At this time, she hadn't seen the truth.

Reno suggested that everyone go upstairs to set off fireworks, and Stefano responded immediately, bringing everyone to the roof. Stefano distributed fireworks to everyone, and everyone counted down to the New Year together. When the clock turned, the fireworks shot up into the night sky, which was a lot of fun. This is the first half of the event, full of illusions of beauty and prospect.

When Elena's narration sounded, the event slowly entered the second half:

"The last night of the year was like a big battle, resounding through Naples. The smoke from the fireworks made everything hazy. I thought, if there was a civil war it would be like Romulus and Remo The civil wars between Sullivan, Marius and Sulla, Caesar and Pompeii (these were all great figures in ancient Roman times, the acquisition of these historical knowledge must be inseparable from the study of Elena High School), their (civil war leaders) The faces will be like these people, the same expressions, the same gestures. Everyone on the block knows that before that it was all a hoot and we were dealing with the Solara family. Everyone said, Only when all the beggars have eaten the small cakes and washed their gold and silver baths will the real host of the party appear."

Elena sees the fireworks display as a civil war, and the young people who set off the fireworks are like war heroes. The imagery of the civil war also hints at the scene of intensifying conflicts with the Solara family afterward. And the hazy smoke of the fireworks represents the blurring of the class boundaries between Stefano (the bloody capitalist) and the poor friends (the proletarians), which ostensibly merge. And the "beggars" in the last proverb are poor people who can't afford much fireworks, and the "party masters" are Karachi. Solara family. The duel between Karachi and Solara will only begin when the poor people are over, just like the civil war between Romulus and Remus, Marius and Sulla, Caesar and Pompeii. What does the so-called fight between gods and mortals have to do with you?

The real war begins when the Solara family comes on the scene. The two sides compete for the scale of fireworks. Marcello's provocative act of directing Michele to shoot fireworks over, angered the youths on the side of Stefano and Reno.

When the camera is shown to Lila at this time, we can find that Lila, who had been smiling happily in the first half of the night, lost her smile, she stayed where she was, she thought, and she seemed to understand something.

The adults and children went downstairs to avoid it, but the young people wanted to continue the war. Stefano directed Reno and others to attack the Solara house opposite. The most fanatic of them all is Rino, who is caught up in the thrill of fighting the Solara brothers, who he wants to suppress. The direct reason for Reno's madness was the failure of his shoes, which meant that the capital he thought he had gained beyond the Solara family had come to nothing, and he was angry and needed to vent. But the more he did this, the more he became Stefano's cannon fodder against the Solara family. And the class flaws hidden in him were completely released and drowned him.

It was at this time that Lila felt the "disappearance of boundaries", the long-term reading and exploration were confirmed and answered in reality, and he saw the truth and essence of the world around him.

The fierce war caused the Solara family to use their guns, and the crazy Reno was numb and fearless, and went up to him, trying to prove his bravery with flesh and blood. Lila tried her best to drag Reno away, and everyone left the roof. In the end, only gray smoke and tragic music echoed on the empty roof, what changed, what joy, what left the past, what new life. All good progress is just a fireworks illusion, and after a blinding moment, there is boundless darkness and a deeper vain.

Now let's talk more about the topic of "Border Disappearance".

I think "boundary" is actually a layer of cognitive barriers, which is reflected in the play because of the superficial cognition caused by the lack of knowledge. Reno, Enzo, and Antonio are all typical examples of lack of knowledge leading to superficial cognition. The communist Pasquale is better, but he has not yet broken the boundaries of this barrier. Breaking through it was Lila and later Elena.

The disappearance of the boundary is secondary, the important thing is, after the boundary disappears, what is the truth and essence exposed? That is, what did Lila see? For me to conclude, that is the inherent property of the irreconcilability of opposing classes.

First, she saw clearly why Stefano invited the whole neighborhood, not just because of Stefano's admiration for her, not just to make peace with them in the opposite class; the most important reason Yes, the capitalist Stefano concealed his face. In the past, his father was exploited by violence. Now Stefano has evolved his own methods, abandoned violence, and adopted more subtle and flexible methods. It is to pretend to win over the proletarians and use their crowd advantages to fight against other capitalists in order to seize the market, monopolize the market, and replace his competitors of the same class and identity (the Solara family in the play). In other words, the capitalists have not become kind, and the capitalists are still squeezing them, but the means are more sophisticated. And the capitalists will never stop exploiting them, because the inherent nature of capitalists dictates that they will.

Second, she found that they were all easily deceived by the capitalists, but other than herself (and perhaps the half-conscious Elena) at the moment, the other proletarians were unaware of this fact. Why are proletarians deceived? Why can't they see the truth? Or class attributes imprisoned their brains. Because they don't have the money to receive education, their ignorance and ignorance are like genetics, and they don't have the ability to see through the truth, so they don't have the motivation to fundamentally resist. Enzo, Carmela, Ada, which one of them realized the essence of things? Which one has the will to rebel against Stefano and the Solara family? Antonio wants to fight them because of a personal vendetta (played by the Solara brothers). Pasquale is not only because of personal grudges, he is a communist, he has been influenced by this trend of thought, he also sees part of the truth of the matter, and Lila also draws a lot of nutrients from her. But Pasquale's knowledge was not enough. Only Lila taught her through the experience of Pasquale, plus her growing up experience from childhood to adulthood, plus her constant reading experience (knowledge), and finally in the practice of setting off fireworks, confirmed the book in theory. The knowledge in Lila's brain really established the system.

And the person who made Lila completely break the boundary and make the boundary in her eyes disappear was her brother Reno. She saw the most complete ignorance in her brother, not only ignorance, but madness! Not only was he used by Stefano, he became a black whirlwind Li Kui against the Solara brothers. He was lazy, impatient, irritable, extreme, stupid, delusional, crazy, all kinds of proletarian shortcomings are infinitely magnified in Reno, and they are fully revealed. .

That's why Lila ended up being so sad. Lila is aware of the absolute limitations of her class itself, which means they are almost desperate to change their destiny. Everyone was drunk and I woke up alone. Lila stood in the mist of fireworks, feeling the pain and confusion she had never felt before.

Ironically, this pain and confusion are brought about by reading and knowledge. Those who do not read and have no knowledge will not feel pain. And if there are any friends around her who can understand her, only Elena. Influenced by her, Elena has also read a lot of books, and also achieved a breakthrough in cognition. Although she can't reach the kind of transparency of her talented girlfriend Lila, she will gradually understand in the future. She doesn't stop moving forward.

Therefore, this play is actually a social history of Naples, and also a history that shows knowledge breaking through class limitations and destiny, not just the history of resistance and growth of old women growing into modern women. It's just that this history, screened to the end of the final season of the whole play, may not be able to give the final answer. Because we know this history is not over.
