light as dust love

Title: Little Ashes, translation: Dalí and his lover? It's just a gimmick, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Before talking about the movie, let's talk about Dalí (omitted)

and the poet. Dalí told him in his later years, and he is one of the few people who can enter his heart! So I still remember it after all these years.

The film is based on this secret of the year, and it brings the stories of three surreal geniuses in Spain: the great painter Salvador Dali, the poet García Lorca and the film master Luis Buñuel into the film. screen. They met at the University of Madrid and studied, lived and played together. Later, because of their different pursuits and beliefs, they eventually embarked on different paths. Similar to China's "Cross Street", South Korea's "Friends", Germany's "Crusade" and Hollywood's "Once Upon a Time in America".

In fact, the perspective of the film is more focused on the poet's experience. The translation name is only because Dali is more famous, but also because of the name of Robert Pattinson, the beautiful and affectionate vampire Edward in Twilight.

The story begins in 1922.
At that time, Dali was still an introverted and shy young man with long hair, dressed in a more feminine aristocratic dress, with a large retro pleated collar and tiered sleeves, riding on knight's boots, and came from his hometown in a carriage. University, and the modern and avant-garde progressive youth on campus who are hit by the new culture wave are out of tune.

At that time, Buñuel and Lorca were the limelight of the school. Buñuel was outgoing, outspoken and outspoken. Lorca is calm and introverted, full of humanistic feelings, he never forgets his hometown, he recites poems with sincerity and moving, and has a like-minded girlfriend by his side.

The story is not just about the poet and Dali, but about the emotional entanglement of four people.
Because of the reflection of thoughts and the collision of souls, Lorca and Dali were attracted to each other and gradually became ambiguous;
Buñuel also had doubts about his own sexuality. With inexplicable feelings;
and in the face of her boyfriend's emotional dissociation, how can a smart girlfriend have no doubts?

Guitars, pianos, jazz bars, underground puppet shows, drinking and reciting poetry, singing and dancing are their lives. Under the control of the army, stealing and having fun is the best memory before the war.

Ambiguous, ambiguous, there will be a day when he will face it, but Dali shrinks back, so the story reaches its climax and wilts again.
In fact, I didn't expect anything to happen. It was originally a paradoxical relationship, and it was very full to restore it to this.

Fortunately, the movie is not only personal, but also ideal. Then Dali followed Buñuel
to Paris to continue his dream of genius;
Lorca also devoted himself to speeches, showing his political ambitions . They met again, but eventually parted ways due to their different positions. In the final scene, Lorgar was secretly shot by the fascists and collapsed beside an olive grove at the age of 38. Lorca's death made him a saint like a martyr. There is no more sacred thing to die for his own ideals and national justice. The film has basically become his biography, and even those secret love affairs seem to have become vassals. This is obviously a glorified Lorgar, but why not? Originally, the relationship between Lorca and Dali was also pieced up by the director based on clues, and it was not even a dewy relationship. Dali never admitted it, and he made it clear that he was not gay. Javier Beltrán, the actor who plays Lorca, is very good at acting. Rob who plays Dalí may be British himself, so he shows more British style than Spanish style, but Dalí is a lunatic anyway. , this is not normal. Lorca's girlfriend is pretty good, not that kind of traditional beauty, but a lot of style. The film is also interspersed with Buñuel's films, Dali's paintings and Lorca's poems, etc. It is also a very fresh artistic experience for these three surreal masters from different fields to blend in the same film.










I like this movie very much, the pictures, the music, the scenery, the colors all have a strong Spanish style, just like the vivid impressionist oil paintings painted by nature inadvertently, and the couple in their youth, They cycled on the road, walked in the countryside, rowed on the moonlit lake, and frolicked and hugged and kissed in the sparkling lake.
A painting created by Dalí after his return, a painting inspired by Lorca, which Lorca named Little ashes
. In the eyes of patriotic poets, for the troubled human history, everything about the individual is just as important. Like dust, even if you are in the painting, it turns into dust along with the painting.

Whether you love it or not, it is the dust of history,

just like this movie,
just like the love in this movie, as
light as
the dust

Little Ashes quotes

  • Salvador Dalí: I've recently escaped from prison.

    Salvador Dalí: 31 days of incarceration.

  • Magdalena: If we had a choice in these things, which we don't. Don't we?

    Magdalena: Look. I am not saying it's going to be easy. But I don't think you can carry on like this. I mean, you can. Of course, you can. But it has a price. I think sometimes we just have to risk it. Live the way we feel. And you know it, it might not turn out well. Sometimes it doesn't turn out well at all. But we have to try. We have to keep on trying. Otherwise, we just become puppets. All painted smiles outside, while inside nothing but sawdust.
