"Eros" can be said to be the interpretation of love and desire in the concept of three directors. It can be seen that there are differences in ideology between Easterners and Westerners. Compared with Soderbergh's "Balance" and Antonioni's "Dangerous Tendency" Wong Kar-wai's portrayal of sex is quiet and restrained.
Because for Westerners, sex is an emotional lubricant, it can make both parties happy, and they are never shy about showing off their sexual pursuits. In China, sex is considered a very sacred thing. In ancient times, sex was usually only possible after marriage. Before that, it could only be a Platonic relationship. If a girl does not keep her chastity, it will be broken before marriage The man can directly ruin the marriage contract, such a girl's maiden family will look down on her.
The Confucian family pays attention to "self-restraint and rites." "Self-restraint" means restraining one's own behavior. It is necessary to sit still and not be confused. Even if you think so in your heart, you can't say it. If you want to talk about "ceremony", others are down and out of luck. Although you are happy in your heart, you still have to go to give them chicken soup. This is in line with etiquette. Today too!" This is to be despised.
Although the above is a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that Chinese people restrain their own desires, so the way of expression of Orientals tends to be introverted. Although "Hand" is also labeled as erotic, the process of watching it does not make you feel that you are ready to move, because even Gong Li's moan has a very gentle violin soundtrack, and he will not empty the background music for you like Europe and the United States. Although Miss Hua played by Gong Li in the groaning or dj
drama gave the little tailor played by Zhang Zhen masturbation and gave the little tailor sexual enlightenment, they never really enjoyed each other from the beginning to the end, and it was always a kind of platonic friendship. Even the unrequited love of a little tailor.
Every teen has a crush on a woman at one time or another. Just like the little boy in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", but the fascination of the little tailor is a bit long. The clothes sent by the little tailor are a time span each time. The courtesan turned into a prostitute who could only rely on selling her flesh in the end, and the tailor who is now a middle-aged uncle can only watch her and those faceless dragons shaking the bed.
Tailor Zhang doesn't want to sleep with Miss Hua? No, when you see Tailor Zhang stroking Miss Hua's clothes, you will understand that he not only wants to, but also wants to die. This shows the contradiction between desire and pure platonic love. In the West, there is no contradiction at all. Do you like it? She should have sex with her, didn't you have a second spring without watching "The Last Dream of the Covered Bridge"?
Doesn't Miss Hua love little tailors? Love, she loves the middle-aged uncle who has grown from a minor to a moustache, but never leaves her, but it is precisely because of love that Miss Hua keeps her relationship with him. Distance, although love has no limit but sex is not, she can rely on him spiritually, but how can she give such a dirty body to the person she loves? We have said that the Chinese have a strong sense of ritual about sex.
In China, the spirit is more important than the desire for the body. Although Westerners have similar expressions, they are more hedonistic. Whether they like it or not, go to bed first. So they pay more attention to responsibility, and our hidden, covert love, how long do you want to sing praises of beauty.
Wong Kar-wai used typical oriental aesthetics to narrate the film's success. The characters' performances, lines, and narration have a hazy beauty, and its shape is like water, which is subtle. And here I have to say the essence of Wong Kar-wai's "Duanzishou", his lines are always full of poetry. Just like what Miss Hua said: "I used to have some capital, but now I can't use it anymore, only these hands are left." No, isn't loving him the best for him? (My film review can't support this seemingly tall topic, can't I think of it?)
