When this film first came out, a huge billboard stood at an intersection where the school bus passed by, with a poster of this Eros on it. Later, I looked for it not long after, but I saw Zhang Zhen's handsome, and I didn't understand the rest of the plot and the passages of "Balance" and "Dangerous Point". Especially when watching "The Critical Point of Danger", it was still broadcast first, and I barely saw half of it, said something, and then fast-forwarded. I don't understand the inner personality feelings expressed in "Hand" at all.
Looking at Antonioni again after many years, I admired the master so much that I was in tears (and didn't). The female psychology depicted in "Dangerous Point" is a common psychology among some women who have met in the past few years. Most are happy to talk about their experiences. I found that some of them had completely surrendered themselves to the spiritual world when they reached a certain age, and their husbands took the opportunity to cheat and find a new love, and they didn't seem to care much.
I remember there was a movie about Berlusconi before. In it, Lao Bei’s wife also had a very tense relationship with him. After a trip to India or Myanmar, when he got home, he built a small temple for spiritual practice in the garden with stone cement. . There are also a few married Western women, Italian women to be precise, who, as just mentioned, suddenly start to devote themselves wholeheartedly to believing in a certain doctrine, such as Buddhism, at a certain age. I have personally seen a very amiable Venetian woman like this. She is the kind who is really devoted to her daily life. She does not kill or let mosquitoes go. She insists on a vegetarian diet and tries her best to buy ethical commerce products. Participated in spiritual dance classes, played Tibetan music all year round at home, and went to the mountains of Nepal to meditate and practice with a yoga group every year. Her husband couldn't keep up with his spiritual realm and spiritual awakening, and he started to be distracted very early on. She told me that she knew all about it, and pretended not to know for many years, just so that her spiritual life would not be disturbed by the world. Some of them also had to deal with the mess their husbands caused, and some chose to divorce. There are also letters to each other with rivals in love, and the words accusing each other are as elegant as possible. I read a letter like this, printed on a computer in a villa in La Giorgio Emilia, from a rival in love (I even saw the guy in red A tall woman in trousers appeared at their home. She was very large, with broad shoulders and thick curly dark brown hair. She looked sexy and strong, and the housewife was alert, flexible, outgoing, Sleek, a very different style with short blond hair). The letter was magnetized to the refrigerator by the honorable housewife. She said she wanted to let herself see it every day as a new inspiration for her life. Is the angle a little weird?
And guess what she started doing after the divorce? Studied aromatherapy, started reading Krishnamurti, got a job at a spiritual store, and meditated with candles. It was from her that I met Krishnamurti and Lois Hay. In addition, the school curriculum was also taught at that time, so I started the process of meditation since I was a teenager.
Anyway, there are all kinds of situations. Looking at Antonioni now, I find that he has dug out the vein of this characteristic, as if it is a life phenomenon that some people cannot escape, and it is the social norm that occurs in his own country. But this kind of social norm looks peculiar when viewed outside of this society, as if it were a special case rather than a universal phenomenon. Finally, the heroine Chloe and her husband's cheating woman, Linda, meet naked on the beach, she gives her a smile, and the film ends. It's really strange, thinking about this in this culture, and not feeling the need to blame anyone with righteous indignation, probably because they talk about it lightly and there's no hidden Intention, there is no deception, I honestly told the cause and effect, as if it was as simple as going to the supermarket to buy a pack of coffee beans. The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch naturally has no way to be in a hurry. The derailed party sees it more calmly, and the derailment is the derailment. Who wouldn't cheat, this kind of mentality. Few of the cheated parties will cry and complain about making things bigger. Even if they are sad, they leave gracefully with a restrained anger and a posture of maintaining a certain sense of beauty. In an environment like the forum, it is estimated that the derailed party's bottom line will be scolded to make him completely die and never survive the setting.
Another example is that of a very famous male singer (no one in Italy should not know him), his wife cheated, but he eventually forgave her and accepted her again. The story was widely circulated among fans who knew a little about his life, and even gained followers for him. No one has ever questioned whether it was acting for the sake of publicity, no. Because in that country, love is recognized as having more value than anything else (people who believe in God like to talk about "love" the most). If a person takes love lightly for any other worldly reason, then that person is a recognized, double fool.
Double standard in a very strange way of measuring. And the men in such incidents tend to have the humble attitude they should have. While that doesn't mean they're doing it right, it certainly reduces your level of anger. Just, in a country without any high moral standards, if you hold too high moral standards, you will appear to be an outlier and will be isolated from the crowd. Living in such an environment makes me feel very relaxed. Because you know very well that no one will say anything about you, even if you do anything stupid. As for what your beliefs in life are and what kind of journey you are determined to embark on, that is your own freedom, and you are responsible for the consequences. The legendary guilt-based society.
Then there are the lines. The first time I saw it, I didn't know what I was talking about, but there was a flow of emotions underneath, and I said some fragmented words along the way, as if I was deliberately creating an illusion, and the other party was willing to enter this illusion, Accompany you to expand it. This tendency is characteristic of Catholic countries, so there are so many creative and imaginative artists and designers. Because when a vision comes to their minds, they don't rush to try to brush it off, as if it were just a ridiculous, trivial thought. On the contrary, this seemingly stupid idea will be recognized and will be strengthened by all means. Any other person is also keen to participate in this camp and give a helping hand, as if it is a habit. Therefore, he will not deliberately emphasize himself. What have you paid. So it's an amazing country. Many seemingly empty things that arise from dreams have actually turned into reality, and are continuously worshipped as gods by people, bringing substantial benefits to the national treasury. It is a manifestation of the power of faith. Such social phenomenon and religion are inextricably linked in essence.
I saw someone comment that Chloe exposed her body, but it didn't necessarily bring people many sexual associations, not because she was not beautiful enough, she was extremely beautiful, and her figure was very good-looking, but because she put her body At one with nature. This explanation is really very appropriate, I can't say such a thing, I can only feel the harmony, which is so beautiful that I am speechless.
Just like the Italian attitude towards human nature and lust, naturalizing them all without judging whether it is ethical or logical. Once there is no judgment, there is no judgment. Things just exist in one way or another, and that’s all, no one suffers because of it, because the so-called suffering is also a result of measurement. If the measurement itself does not exist, then there is no loss or gain. They are not businessmen after all, they love naturalism, as well as art. At the same time, it also has a certain Mediterranean cunning.
No one commented on the emotions that came out naturally, or seemed inexplicable and too sudden. They exist in that instant, and are hidden, or expressed, that's all, what's there to comment on? You are also human, who is not human? As a magical being of nature, what do you think of your own species? That will only show your inferiority and ignorance. Just like me sitting here writing so-called movie reviews.
It is as if the entire evaluation system itself has been abandoned due to an overly complicated and complicated system that is unique to human society. If they had to make it work, they only chose praise...
After many years, I also understand the complex feelings that "Hand" wants to express, not only Zhang Zhen's handsome. But of course, he's still handsome, and I may have some kind of special affection for the pitiful man who was humiliated. This is a dangerous mentality......?
The last scene of Zhang Zhen standing dumbfounded in the corridor is the footnote and the finishing touch of the whole movie. This man who was suddenly dragged into erotic hallucinations suppressed his desire into a man of love. At that moment, he seemed to fall into the clouds and fall back to the time dimension of the real world. Really sad.
The lady played by Gong Li is really powerful, but her power can only be used completely on such a simple boy who caters to her unconditionally, but she can't do anything about the man she really wants to hook up with. Those men were just for her money, her body. And only he, the unremarkable little tailor she looked down on, really bought her order. Maybe she would be happiest if she was with the little tailor, wouldn't she? It's just that she still looks down on him, perhaps because of the indelible preconceived impression that he was originally a tool she used to make beautiful clothes for herself. But later, when she was in despair, she found that he was also a living and emotional person, and he hid extremely deep feelings for himself, which had long gone beyond the scope of concentrating on making clothes for her. She only had some kind of guilt for him for delaying the other party, and maybe she only dared to have this kind of guilt, because she knew that she couldn't bear his craving for love, and she thought she couldn't bear that huge illusion at all . She was afraid of falling into the clouds, so she chose not to go up. Can't get up anyway.
So in the end, when she touched his body again with her hand, she rejected his kiss. She couldn't lower herself, but she realized that she had no identity worthy of restraint. She wanted to love him very much, but couldn't. Her heart is constantly torn between the long-established indomitable character and the bleakness of real life. That scene was quite touching, as if it struck a deep-seated heartstring.
I still haven't understood "Equilibrium", even if I have read Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams", I have discussed with people about his theory, the theory of the connection between dreams and lust. But I didn't understand why the psychiatrist threw paper planes out of the window dancing. This is the most "politically correct" of the three stories, because the sexual fantasy object in the male protagonist's dream is his wife herself. The logic is also very simple. Through the naked woman in the dream, the audience's infinite conjectures are aroused, and her identity is finally revealed. It's like turning around and singing about the fact that marriage in reality can also have space for romantic sexual fantasies.
But what is a psychiatrist doing? I read other movie reviews and didn't understand it. Maybe it's because I'm not really interested in psychology. But I still want to praise the director. He was the director who made "Sex, Lies, Video", and I still liked that movie. Maybe the reason why the psychiatrist did that was because he didn't want to hear Robert Downey Jr. tell a bunch of erotic dreams about a strange woman, and then he knew that it was his wife, this hypocritical guy who appeared as a patient It is simply showing off his married life to others, not what is called psychological counseling. The doctor may just be avoiding some kind of embarrassment, or he may have seen long ago that this person is not a bully, and it is not worth his effort to guide and heal. The funny thing is that this whole scene also happened in Robert Downey Jr.'s dream. I'm not a big fan of studying psychology, which is probably why I'm resisting this story. I suspect that my inability to read the story is a Freudian slip in itself. But anyway, I think that the blue suit, the hat and the color of the sofa, furniture, handbags and the wall behind the wife's dream match very well.
This is almost the general feeling of watching Eros this time. There was a dinner at a friend's house between reading and writing a review, so I can't remember some details. When people get old, their memory is also easy to fade. Don't blame me for making mistakes. Corrections are welcome.
