Youth is about sex

"Cruel Temptation" The Rule of Attraction, Roger Avary's
translation may be to distinguish it from the "Law of Attraction". Roger Avary is one of the screenwriters of "Falling Water Dog" and "Pulp Fiction". This film also embodies what he calls the "Pulp Fiction + Graduate American School" style. Among the films that reflect youth and sex, this one is quite outstanding compared to American school, European sex travel, and sex is empty. Non-linear narrative, a large number of body shaking shots during sex and the characters' inner monologues add some thinking elements to this film: sex is related to mechanical movement, love and scars are related to suicide.
Non-linear narrative: Quentin was mentioned in the first five minutes of the film's dialogue. By the tenth minute, you will immediately realize that this is a youthful vulgar novel. Of course, the plot is the more conventional pattern of A loves B, B loves C, and C loves D, but when you think about the lives around you, don't most of them follow this model.
Sex scene: Just like the kind of shaky happy life, the pleasure of sex is realized by shaking, and the pleasure of simultaneity comes from "not thinking." But Rolla, who was forced to shake by a man outside of school, and Sean, who was swaying actively on Rolla’s roommate, obviously violated the principle of sex. It can only be "return the body to the body, and return the love to the fantasy." ".
Inner monologue: Movies with inner monologue often touch thinking, which seems to be an essential element. (Monologues are often interrupted by rough incidents, just like someone knocking on the door when you stay in a room thinking. The interleaving of violent incidents not only means the rigid cessation of the inner narrative, but also means that all emotional events are unattainable.) The most classic monologue is Victor's "European Journey", which is only a five-minute narration, and what is shown in front of you is definitely a world that makes you jaw-dropping. In contrast, "European Sex Travel" is pediatrics again.

    It's worth savoring carefully. The clips are full of ideas, including the well-known opening and rewinding, and the tilt of the camera when committing suicide, and the mix without You, followed by the tap dripping silently, and the bathtub still cut above "I'm only with you because I love you." What she did" The mix of imagination and reality is unimportant in AVARY's eyes, even the subtitles are split down and the moment they close at the end is great. I think it was influenced by Quentin.
