I started to learn about Bernardo from "The Last Emperor", and it was because "The Last Emperor" made me curious about him, so I watched "The Last Tango in Paris". Although this is the work of a master, I have to Said that this is a complete failure.
I watched the movie fast forward, because many shots are really not worth my stay for it. Some people say that I saw the struggle of a middle-aged man and his abnormal psychology. But I think the show itself is abnormal. The violent sex between two strangers, the dim lights, and the small claustrophobic rooms seem to be suitable for such taboo and exciting things to happen. The combination of an ignorant girl and a middle-aged uncle who lost his wife will arouse people's infinite reverie. But the movie seems to weaken the crimes of the middle-aged man played by Brando. On the contrary, it only slowly spreads the girl’s heart to the audience in this middle-aged man. Those behaviors are naked rape. There is no beauty. , It was all the delusions of all the erotic desires of the middle-aged man, except that a little girl happened to appear, which happened to satisfy all his desires. For that little girl, he was a person who could patiently listen to her babbling words and satisfy all her fantasies about sex. Naturally, she became dependent on the man in front of her who didn't even know the name.
The only comfort in the film is that the girl shot to death the last time the middle-aged man who felt that he had fallen in love with her and wanted to spend his life with her, everything went back to the beginning, this is the best ending, at least She was not deceived by the vain happiness that men gave her.
Besides, why did Marlon Brando become more famous after the filming was finished, and even the man who hadn't appeared much before made Pierre Leold debut, while Maria Schneider, who played the heroine, doubled. Criticized and devastated, there is a scene in the film where Paul rapes Jeanne with butter without even asking for the heroine's permission in advance. Why are men always sexually luckier than women?
Sexual openness is not a bad thing, but I don’t want a sacrificial way to pursue the so-called art that the director claims.
