This version of "Lolita" looks a bit dark and humorous, there are no emotional scenes, only a touch of metaphors and hints, for example, nail polish is one, and Lolita is turned to hula hoop with a book. One, a hotel with only one bed counts as one. This version of Lolita does not completely copy the original, but gives us a different Lolita.
I watched her, watched and watched
Wholeheartedly
I love her the most, for sure
As sure as I am going to die...
She can fade, she can wither, whatever
But i just look at her
The tenderness came to my heart...
This is Lolita
A beautiful girl in the years of cardamom
She is not an ordinary middle school student
But a seductive precocious girl
This is the same as in "This Killer Is Not So Cold"
Matilta is different
Lolita
Originally refers to those wearing miniskirts
A girl with mature makeup but with girly bangs
Simply put, it’s the situation of "girls forcefully wear girl outfits"
Lolita originated in the novel "Lolita"
Tells a story that goes against Lund
Author Nabokov draws on this story
A bold exploration of the complex psychology of humans
In the complex process of expressing the character's heart
Humbert
Image of mild schizophrenia
Crazy selfish thoughts, suffocating desire for control
Perverted but also persistent and unrequited love
And his later self-reflection like a gentleman
It is precisely because of the complexity of the characters and the uncertainty of the theme of the novel
Makes it very difficult to adapt this novel into a movie
However, Lolita under the lens of Kubrick
Lolita in my mind
Her beauty is radiant, rebellious and charming
There are both the childish side of a little girl and the faint mystery of an adult
The personality is a bit like a Scorpio
And the male protagonist Humbert has a bit of Virgo characteristics
He is very organized
Have their own plans and arrangements for life travel
Severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and mental hygiene
Desire is limited to imagined Humbert
Comprehensible and sympathetic
Retained his purest love for Lolita
This kind of love-like fatherly love is also a strong desire for protection
Compared with movies and novels
Its ability to explore the complex inner world is limited
But it leaves more room for the reader's imagination
So Kubrick’s original work on Nabokov
Made a drastic adaptation
Kubrick put this kind of affection similar to father's love
The version is beautiful, crazy and subtle
Sad but not sad, happy but not lewd
In the film, there is not a single point of exposure
This is complementary to Nabokov's original clean narrative
The Kubrick version embodies the delicate beauty in countless details
The murder of Quilty in the soft light and shadow of the opening movie
Arranged in a castle-style villa
Baroque style decoration is extremely beautiful
Create a gorgeous aesthetic effect
Kubrick explained the ending in flashback
We see Humbert in Virgo
With a stern face, I said to him seriously
And Quilty is more like Pisces's big carrot
He is poetic and humorous
Philosophical
In the face of this black-faced and serious "killer"
His timidity and humor collide to ease the atmosphere
Finally, he used profit to lure Humbert
These settings all create a contrasting tension
The last baroque oil painting
A young beautiful woman
Was pierced and destroyed under Humbert's bullet
Hints at the end of the story
Both as a hint to Quilty being killed by Humbert
It also symbolizes the fact that Lolita was destroyed by Quilty.
This paragraph with a bit of black humor
Reveals an indescribable sadness and depression
Kubrick in general style
The ridiculous and satirical comedy effect loyal to the original work
Kubrick's love for Quilty, the villain
With ever-changing identities and faces
Dazzling, unexpected
There is a kind of suspense like Hitchcock
Even shuddering
He is chattering, glib and indulging in his own world
I am often self-excited and have some quirks
A typical Hollywood character
The setting of different identities
Writer for a while
For a while, a passenger staying with Lolita
I'll be the psychologist at the school for a while
For a while, a stranger calling intimidator
Until the last moment I will always feel that he is everywhere
Humbert's desire for Lolita is cute
It’s kind of like a junior high school student secretly likes a girl
Just watch from a distance
Like Humbert pretending to read
But I saw Lolita on the grass
Cautiously
Humbert, who used to be clean, didn’t want to live in this place.
But he saw Lolita at first sight
Decided to rent
In order to be with Lolita forever
He married Lolita's mother
However, the inspiration for his creation all came from Lolita
The muse in his life
Later, Lolita's mother had a car accident
Humbert is not at risk
It's just that he loves Lolita too much
Afraid of her being hurt
However, his worries became a reality
And swept like a horror movie
First, a strange psychiatrist broke into his home
Secondly, he traveled with Lolita
Be tracked inexplicably
Then I received an unfamiliar panic call
Lolita seems to be a very smart little girl
I also understand how his stepfather Humbert loves her
However, she is young and frivolous, who doesn’t know much about the world.
Was attracted by Quilty who played with women
Quilty is like a high-level sniper genius
His chat with Lolita rose to the height of philosophy
Fully show your talents
And promised to take her to Hollywood to sign
However, this is the same as those seemingly good bad apples
There is a big hole inside
It's not Hollywood at all
But a meat business
Quilty, who was rejected by Lolita, slammed her off
This beautiful girl who was once glamorous
Lolita is completely useless
Married a poor young man
Lead a shabby life
At this moment she thought of Humbert who was lost by her
When the pregnant Lolita opened the door
Humbert can't even recognize it
Lolita, once so exquisite and beautiful, has become so raunchy
She explained the reason
It turns out that she never loved Humbert
And think Quilty is a talented artist
Even when she was hurt
She still doesn't regret the past with Quilty
Facing the ruthless truth, Humbert can no longer control
The complex emotions in my heart burst into tears
Humbert left all his savings to
This so-called daughter
He was crying and crying sadly
In the face of this pregnant woman who is already raunchy
He is still fragile like a child
He cried and begged Lolita to live with him
Get out of this predicament
Even if you will always be a father and daughter
However, all his fantasies, at the last moment
Still shattered after all
The story is back to that beginning
At this moment we finally understand why
Why Humbert was so cruel to Quilty
Girls are often the most beautiful when they are thirteen or fourteen
But it is also often a little impulsive, rebellious and stupid
However, at this unique stage of life
Just created this tragic Lolita
How about it? What do you want to say, leave me a message
I will reply seriously~
Don't forget to watch
