"Days on the Clouds" - Desire and Love

There are four stories in "Days Above the Clouds". These four stories seem to have little connection except for the director's onlookers and participation, but they tell the same thing - love. Love has many gestures, many forms. At first, I didn't know what so many actors were doing here, but I finally got it. Great, this movie is really great. It explores the relationship between love and desire. Do you believe in love at first sight? I remember that the girl who studied best in the elementary school class told me when she first met after she went to college that the love she most looked forward to in her life was to meet a handsome Italian boy while traveling in Italy. They fell in love at first sight and fell in love madly for a month. After that, they broke up in one shot and two, and never contacted each other again, forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes, and leaving the memories in their respective lives. I looked at her with wide eyes and said, you are so creative. She told me that her mother said that this is not called love, it is called hooliganism. In my 22 years of living, I have never been in a relationship. I like being extraordinary, but it's only one-sided. It's the beautiful love of Girls' Generation. It seems to be different from the love that adults say. There is no possession, no desire in love, and there is only the purest "I hope you hapiness". Although I have not experienced the so-called love in person, I have also read a lot of novels, love on TV, and listening to the stories of friends around me. I understand love should be when two people get to know each other, the impression is good, plus the time to get along, it develops into love, and then this love develops into family affection. That is to say, two people have to have a good impression first, they first establish a friendship, and then they become love. The best result is that the love fades and then settles into a family relationship. So I never believe in the so-called love at first sight. In the movie, the hero and heroine looked at each other and smiled, had a drink, chatted on the bed, and then fell in love with each other. In my opinion, they are just playing hooligans in the name of love. The so-called love between men and women is just that men love women, men don't love women, and of course, they may fall in love later. But I definitely don't believe in the kind of love that determines one's soul mate at a glance. In the first story, a man and a woman met on the streets of Italy, and then at night they were in their respective rooms in the hotel ready to wait for each other to knock on the door, and the woman left without incident. Three years later, they met again. The woman took off her clothes and waited for the man. The man's hands and lips touched every inch of the woman's skin through the air, and then dressed and left. The woman was on the balcony, the man was under the balcony, they looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and the man left. They never met again. At first, I didn't understand how this was the case. Until I finished the second story. the second story, When the actress met a woman in a French town, they flirted with each other for the first time. The woman's tearful eyes revealed the meaning of refusal and welcome. The man has been following the woman. The woman told the man the story of killing her biological father, and said that she had been stabbed 12 times. Later, she returned to the scene of the crime to relive the process of her father's death, and she was full of satisfaction. In the face of such a cruel woman, the man did not reject it in his heart, but felt that the woman was beautiful, sad and beautiful. They made an appointment to make love. After the love, the man left, and the woman looked at the back of the man leaving, still tearful. The director stood by the lake and recalled that he was amazed at the first meeting because of the woman's tearful eyes. After knowing the cruel behavior of the woman, he still made excuses for the woman's behavior, but after getting the woman, he just wanted to leave and didn't want to stay for a minute. . He felt that he should love women, but he still just wanted to leave. what is love? I remember Mr. Le Jia said something, woman, remember, from the moment you get out of bed, you are worthless. Undoubtedly, the men and women in the first and second stories in the film are attracted to each other, and should also be in love. But the men chose to leave. When the first man left, the tears in his eyes and hesitant footsteps revealed his reluctance; when the second man left, only an indifferent back was left, and he even said that he couldn't wait to leave. For no other reason, the first man ended up not getting the woman's body, while the second man did. So love lasts forever in the heart of the first man, and is turned and forgotten by the second man. I'm wondering if the first man's decision not to touch a woman and finally leave was because he didn't want to destroy his love, so he chose to let it grow that way. In this way, should we come to the conclusion that the existence of love lies in not getting it, and once it is obtained, it will be gone. The third story, a man having an affair, shuttles between his wife and lover for three years. He told his wife that I was just playing with my lover, and he told my lover that I would definitely divorce my wife for you. His wife and lover were in pain, but he himself was at ease. On the same day, the body shuttled between the two women, all the words can be lost in the lust, it can be seen that he actually loves no one, only the body that can bring him pleasure, as for the owner of this body is Who, he doesn't care. In the end, the wife was unbearable and chose to leave. After leaving, she met Jean Reno, who was in the same situation as her. It seems that she is not the only one who has encountered such a thing in this world. Men and women, there is no difference. All are puppets of desire. The world is the most absurd, and love is the most absurd. It is a fantasy, a trap, a mysterious trap that fools fall into. The fourth story The man fell in love with the neighbor Girl, girl, on her way to church, ready to consecrate herself to God, thinking that this way the soul can be freed from the manipulation of the flesh. The man chased the girl all the way to express his deepest love, but the girl remained unmoved. The man said, what would you do if I said I love you. The girl said it was like lighting a candle in a room with lights. Suddenly I laughed. The man still didn't give up and chased after the girl's house, but the girl always refused. The director stood outside the door watching the man's back in the rain, and watched with cold eyes. No one can escape this kitsch when it comes to desire, neither others nor oneself. It seems that love and desire are always inextricably linked, and it is unclear and unclear. I believe that love exists, but love is not universal, what is universal is desire. Most of the love we encounter is actually a matter of desire. You think you love him (her), but you don't know if you really love him (her). If you want to know the answer, you go to get him (her), and after getting it, you will know whether it is love or just desire. If you don't want this love to go away, just watch and love from a distance. In this way, love will never disappear. 2014-01-09 21:00
