Lolita, naive temptation...

I've heard the story of "Lolita" many times ago. But every time I crossed it in the disc store. Brush the cover in the bookstore and drop it. Because I think this is an abnormal love. absurd. I like to watch normal love, not incest and taboo.

After a long, long time, I finally finished watching the movie in three days with difficulty. There was a vague agitation in my heart. Although the plot has long been clear, the lines have been infected many times. However, the film itself still touched me.

Lolita. When Lori became synonymous with a group, I saw the prototype of this group. Unlike the innocent young-toothed uniformed prisoner in the imagination, the little girl has two braids, innocent lips and seductive eyes...in

this film. Humbert fell in love with her at first sight. It's not just because of his nostalgia for his first love. More attraction comes from Lolita itself. Her eyes are always lazy. Frown slightly. But it was sweet and sour when he laughed. His speech and demeanor are wild, yet childish. She is a contradiction, but in fact she may be very simple. She doesn't look good at all when she eats gum. Walk quickly. But speaking slowly. She is very deliberate in many cases. Sometimes it's so casual. It is unimaginable. She is only fourteen years old.

However, there is never a shortage of precocious children in this world, especially girls. Humbert said she was a little fairy. To be exact, she is an elf. The most attractive thing is not her gender, but her character, she herself. Be obsessed with her because of her directness. She was about to move. Her curiosity. Not because she is Lolita.

She has always lived a real life. The smile is real. And so is disgust. To please is true. But so is indifference. Rebellion is real. But so is the pain. She is the little woman who is in the bud. She is also the daughter who acts like a baby and asks for pocket money. It was her who was singing and singing in the car. She was the one who insisted on leaving on rainy nights. How real she is, how cruel she is.

When Humbert was crying. People outside the screen also feel very heavy.
He asked her where she went. She did not say. Then he asked her, she remained silent. When he asked her crying, she laughed. Her laughter was harsh and abrupt, overwhelming his crying, and he was left with thick despair.

I even feel Humbert a little bit useless. Both the mind and the body are so passive. I really want to smoke him at the screen. You are a man, there is a fart to cry. Even a minor girl who is less than half her age can't control it. It's time to hit the wall.

But later it became more and more clear. He has changed from infatuation to her into love. From tolerance. Become indulgent. So he has been so useless, so desperate, so helpless. If Lolita is a flower that blooms early in the morning, what is Humbert? It is the spring mud that has been stepped on deeply under the flowers, and there is no bright color left. She is becoming more enchanting, and he is getting old. She will leave without a doubt. She is not bound. He can only search. Can only follow. Even when there is no trace to follow, I can only remember. can only wait.

Three years have passed. She has a meager letter paper. It is his last straw. Go on again. Seeing his dreams again. He has his persistence. A classic car with a distance of 25 steps. He said to take her home and take her away. And she has her stubbornness. She did not regret all the choices she had made. She can't go.
When he asked this time. She didn't laugh. She said the person's name frankly. Because her time has passed. In the end, Humbert lost in the end. He shed tears again. His face faded and became old instantly.

She is his weakness and his culprit. From the beginning of the moment, to the end forever.

Believe that Humbert took the gun and went to find that man. It is with a feeling of death. There is nothing worthy of nostalgia for this world to him. Lolita has a new life of her own. He has his own family, men, and children in his womb. And he is just a nominal Daddy. It's her purse. She used him naked. Brightly willing to trade. She has never loved. Although she did not say.
He only wanted one end in a desperate situation. End forever. When he took the blood-stained pistol and drove the car slantingly up the grassland. Is Lolita counting money with her husband happily?
Death is the best ending, at least his Lolita is always in his memory and always in his heart.

    Compared with the Kubrick version (1962), there are more colors. Jeremy Irons’s delicate and bold performance makes his contradictory heart believable; Dominic Swann has the stupid appearance of an American precocious girl on her face, but unexpectedly makes her sexy look amiable. The first half is lively and vivid, and the second half is affectionate and sad. It's rare that a movie like this "injures the morals" will be so moving.

    "I looked at her, looking at her again and again, all my life, with all my heart. The one I love the most is her, I can be sure, as sure as I am going to die. The flower-like nymph of those days, now only the dead leaves are left to return to their hometown. Pale, mixed She is vulgar, bloated, and the flesh in her belly belongs to someone else. But I love her. She can fade, she can wither, she can do anything, but I only look at her once, and all the tenderness comes to my heart."

Lolita quotes

  • Miss Pratt: I know you have accepted a post at Beardsley College, and I know that there, academics are first, last, and always. Well, that's not us, Mister Humper. Here at Beardsley Prep... what we stress are the three Ds. Dramatics, Dancing, and Dating.

  • Humbert: I was not quite prepared for the reality of my dual role. On the one hand, the willing corruptor of an innocent, and on the other, Humbert the happy housewife.
