The temptation of the world
Icie 2021-12-22 08:01:44
I think this is an imaginary world. In this world, everyone is living for desire: taking drugs day after day, making love day after day, partying day after day, the world has eroded and collapsed. The people inside also have joys and sorrows, constantly seeking greater desires, but they are always hurt by desires. There is love in this world. Few people realize its existence, leave it behind, and continue to pursue the desire in front of them. Someone who wants to find love is always blocked by desire. The human heart decays with the world, everyone becomes selfish, but depravity enjoys it, and the meaning of their lives lies in this. The ugly, degenerate characters in the movie are all real addicts at the bottom of society, and they are all thinking about how to find excitement. Students, teachers, doctors, and nurses were all brainwashed and fell deeper and deeper. This movie focuses on a dirty little part of reality. In the movie, it zooms in on the entire world. It has to be said that this is a very romantic technique that allows people watching the movie to understand the theme of the movie more deeply. , The sordidness of the world when you look closely, cuts the world open, and exposes the innermost, maggot-infested place under the dazzling sunlight, reminding people that the world is not so beautiful.

The Rules of Attraction quotes
-
Paul Denton: I watched him with growing intensity as he refilled the pipe in the dark and smokey din of the room. He delicately fingered what looked like dried moss to me, and it struck me then that I liked Sean because he looked, well, slutty. A boy who'd been around. A boy who couldn't remember if he was Catholic or not.

Rupert: Get it straight, fuckhead: I need you like I need a fucking asshole on my elbow.
[puts elbow in Sean's face]
Rupert: Right here. An asshole. That's how much I need you.
