I prefer the beginning of the 97th version of the movie. The expressionless Humber drove out of the mist crookedly in that old car. There was no anger, no sadness, nothing. His love was gone and his enemy was gone. No nostalgia. Luo’s hairpin was pinched in his hand. It was the love he had lost or never happened before. It was stained with the blood of the enemy representing sin—love and sin. This is what "Lolita" wanted All content expressed.
No one is more suitable for the role of Humber than Jamie Irons. Moreover, he always seems to be willing to play that kind of love hero who is deeply lonely. Mel Gibson is fine, but his eyes are too easy to get old, and he shows a touch of fatigue inadvertently. Jamie Irons is exactly the opposite of him. His face is not age-worthy, but his eyes are always burning with desire. I always feel that even if passion consumes him, there will be two black gems with hard texture and indelible light in the ashes.
Adrian Lane is very good at making this type of film. "Infidelity", "Nine and a half weeks", and "Peachy Deal" are some of the movies that feel alive just by listening to the title. Rather than expressing human feelings, he prefers to depict human limbs. The light shining on the face, the boundary line formed by the body, the thin smile lines at the corners of the mouth, knees, calves, toes, socks, just a few shots. , It's extremely sexy. On the contrary, it is a few passionate scenes in the film. Because of Dominique Swan’s young age, it seems a little bit green. When filming "Lolita", this evil-faced girl was only 16 years old, but she used nearly It took ten years to get out of the shadow of this drama. When she grows up, her beauty disappears as if the magic fades, because her beauty comes from the sense of contradiction between the mature face and the childish body. When this sense of contradiction disappears, she too It's mediocre.
The original version of "Lolita" in 97 has a strong temperament, because the story made by the director is not the story of a man obsessed with a girl, but only the story of the man himself. Humber is a poet lost in his own feelings and memories. The reason why he likes young girls is because his childhood sweetheart suddenly died of typhoid fever. He never forgets or even cherishes this affection. The primary factor that triggers pedophilia is the psychological factor. Loving children is actually an instinctive reaction to my desire to return to my childhood, just as the movie said. "Her death has solidified a part of my heart. Although the girl I love and my own childhood have long gone, I still look for her shadow." Therefore, in this Henry's love, there is actually nothing wrong. To be fair, Lolita and Humber are the kind of unscrupulous people for selfish desires. Luo wants money, depends on, wants a sense of security, and is obsessed with the physical pleasure this man brings to her, and Humber only wants his memories. He satisfies her to please her only so that she can become what he imagined, and when all his efforts failed, the situation of "two people staying together is a torture for even a minute" appeared.
The tone of the whole movie is determined by only one question-whether Low also loves Humber. If it is, then this is a love tragedy that is involuntary and songful; if it is not, then the story is immediately reduced to a paranoid clown-like performance, and there is no audience. Of course, as we all know, Humber can be Luo's guardian, father, her safe haven, her only support in the world, but it is impossible to be the one she loves. In Lowe’s concept, Humber is at best a father who can make love to him. She can ask him for money and sweets, but she can’t get feelings, because his feelings were not for her, his feelings , Always follow the trajectory of time, flow back to the hotel where he stayed in his childhood, flow back to the woman he admired in his youth, this is a kind of harm to Luo itself.
Luo has a very obvious tendency for manic depression, she is moody, extremely selfish and indifferent. Sometimes ecstatic, sometimes furious. Not long after she and Humber had a big fight and ran out of the house like crazy, she was able to ask Humber to treat her to a cold drink again with a grin. Luo grew up in a single-parent family, with an irresponsible mother and a messy growth environment all year round. Humber’s arrival gave her hope of change. She subconsciously longed for Humber to take her out of this predicament. Humber's temptation is not so much a deliberate as it is instinct. Beauvoir wrote in her biography that a girl of her same age chose to commit suicide after experiencing an advanced relationship. She wrote: "A certain degree of truth can kill a young life." Young Luo was strangled by the secret and ugly desires of an adult man. For her, all feelings can be equated with money and interests. There is no respect and respect, only control and submission. She sells beauty and smiles first, then uses sex to achieve her own goals. Sex is clearly marked and even starts midway. It is worth noting that both the director and the Humber in the movie have adopted an attitude of ignoring Luo's sickness and despair. His mother is dead. Here hastily given a few girls weeping scenes, the little girl over there is already Humming and embarking on a journey. Luo's only emotional expression was when she was crying in the quilt alone in the hotel. She looked even more desperate without explaining why, but this shot was also very short.
The entire "Lolita" can also be seen as a process of the development of a depressed patient. Luo desires a safe and stable environment, but what Humber can give her is the daily migration and bumps. At the end of the film, Humber said to Lolita, who is married and has a big belly: "It is 25 steps away from the classic car you are familiar with. Take these 25 steps immediately with me." Lolita flatly refused because of She, that is not a familiar classic car, but the turbulent life she wants to escape all her life. The incest without real feelings is far more terrifying than poor life.
That classic line-"I looked at her, looked at her and looked at it again. I will do my best for the rest of my life. I love her the most in this life. It is her. This belief in love is as firm as death. That day is like a flower demon, and today is like a dead leaf. The hometown, the flesh and blood in the abdomen, is also for others. I love her, it can be faded, withered, or whatever, but with a single glance, the tenderness rushes to my heart. "Unfortunately, the her he looked at was still in his eyes. It was a 14-year-old girl with bright eyes, white teeth and a beautiful smile. Until the end, he still loved his memories, not the flesh and blood person standing in front of him, Lolita.
One is a paranoid poet and the other is a depressive demon. The collision of the two is destined to create the birth of a tragedy. For us in front of the screen, it is gorgeous fireworks, bringing emotional light and heat, but behind that light is a place of ashes, But the people in the play have to clean themselves up in the cold and soot. The love in the film has never been applied to life. Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea is the blueprint that is truly worthy of enthusiasm and hard work for it. I would like to tell those loli and non-loli who are yelling to find an uncle all day long, if you don’t plan to pay for it for the rest of your life, don’t try.
