All things fair

I watched this movie under the quilt. When Sidi came out of the classroom that carried his youthful fantasies, carrying dictionaries, oil paintings, etc., I was thinking, everyone actually needs this One-time enlightenment and sexual sublimation. How imperfect our life would be otherwise. Admittedly, I do look at this issue from a sexually curious angle.

[Beautiful Love]
A deformed teacher-student relationship is the theme of this movie. But this kind of love is beautiful and taken for granted, but I have to say that director Bo Widberg is ingenious and profound. Shi Di, a 15-year-old boy, has a youthful sexual arousal, like the verdant fruit on the tree, which invites people to pick it, but has to make some efforts; the 37-year-old female teacher Viona, a midlife crisis and a Lust is overflowing, like a ripe apple that has fallen to the ground, only to be picked up by those who fancy it. The boy said, I don't know what to do. The woman puts his hand on the button of the dress, leans in and whispers, you'll be fine.

[Facing life]
And their combination is like a game of wrestling. The boy was shy at the beginning but looked forward to every orgasm, and when he finally heard his classmates discussing the topic of having sex eight times a day, he threw out the phrase "people are not rabbits, you can't have sex so many times a day", he seemed to have Sophisticated to the point of exhaustion, and sarcastic. The female teacher is different. From the very beginning of the sexual enlightenment, to the end, she has become a full-fledged slut. Behind her calm and noble appearance, there is aroused passion and evil desire. Of course, lust is nothing but an aphrodisiac for loneliness. For boys, indulgence is for growth, and after venting, they are still vulnerable children, and what they long for is pure love. So he will go back to find the girl of the same age who has always admired him, but there is not much ink in the film. This part of the treatment seems to be a pawn buried for the return of the humanity of a boy of Sidi's age. And for Viona, it's just the spice of her middle-aged life, the color paint of her dull, monotonous life, and a replacement for her boring husband. That's it.

[Fair Growth]
People may be powerless in the face of habits. Therefore, there will be Sidi's final boredom and Viona's reluctance. Maybe the film handles their erotic images too beautifully, maybe they really have some love apart from eroticism. So, at a certain moment, I really believed that this was just an ordinary romance film. Of course, director Widberg doesn't just tell that. The background of the film is during World War II, when Sidi's brother went to the front line to fight, Sidi admired him immensely, and his brother was Sidi's initial fantasy. And that cowardly and even a bit cowardly Viona's husband, a frustrated salesman, pushed the story to a climax in a few few appearances. He seems to be addicted to music, and seems to be cowardly and evading his wife's cheating situation, but it is the most powerful way to promote Stie's growth. Several wonderful pieces of music played by him are teaching Stie to slowly change from simple to simple. Carnal desires begin to seek something more spiritual. When Viona watched her husband fall asleep on the table drunk, and then tempted Sdy to have sex, Sdy took out the quilt from the room and put it on Viona's husband, and then chose to leave. This is the simplest and most ignorant child. The most important thing is to grow. At least, he knows how to control himself and control his life. Not the kid who was dragged by his hands to unbutton his pants.

After reading Kafka's comments on it, I really like the sentence, "Men need a successful insertion to bid farewell to cowardly teenage years, and that successful establishment will also create responsibility." Compared with Chinese names, I prefer English names. All Things Fair, you can say that everything is beautiful, direct, and fair.

By the way, John Widbergh, who plays Boy Stie, is the son of film director Bo Widbergh. More powerful is the female teacher Viona played by Malika. Laurence is the director's wife, of course, she is only John Widberg's stepmother.
