As a result, the accident really happened, and it was a car accident again (it looks like a Korean drama). The sixteen years of emotional sustenance have been wiped out in this way, and this relationship has not been recognized by his family, and the last side is not sent. Speaking of a successful career in middle-aged people, the goal of youth struggle has been basically achieved (the furniture, houses, and cars full of yuppie fun are proof of this), and the proportion of emotions in life pursuits will naturally increase relatively. Being alone at home, thinking of the warmth of the past, white-haired people give black-haired people, naturally my chest is slumped. So sad and uncontrollable, I picked up my beloved revolver, prepared to buy some bullets, and ended up working on the last day of work. The protagonist came to the university where he was attending class and praised everyone with the attitude of the last day, and found that a student had asked for his address. In the last lesson, he was excited and talked about fear, saying that what people fear most is the most abstract and the most elusive, and the uncertainty about the future. Then the admiring student A (name that was messed up) rushed over to talk and said, oh, listen to your words, win over ten thousand books, and hope to have a drink together. He ignored it and went to the bank to get his treasures and insurance bills. Passing by the wine shop, I ran into a handsome Spanish guy and went home after two cigarettes. Then when he got home, he tried to commit suicide. Either the pillow was wrong or he slipped and fell in the bathtub. He didn't die. Sister Tao called to have two drinks together and ran over. Sister Tao is the kind of woman he almost married, but he still finds that he likes men. After two cups of yellow soup, they vomit heartily, thinking of the good old days in London. After I finished drinking and went home, I wanted to continue drinking and found that there was no alcohol. I ran to the bar where I met my dead boyfriend and found student A who admired him. The two drank and talked about fear, he put down his defenses and opened himself a little bit. The young man said, dare you go swimming in the sea now (the bar is in Santa Monica, right by the sea). Normally, he came up with enthusiasm, and he walked around. Then enjoy the sea while swimming (the music accompanying the swimming scene is also magnificent and exciting, giving this depressed film a bit of life and climax). The years are not forgiving, and the two of them go home when they are exhausted. Little A treats his wounds, undresses and shows his figure, etc., and the ice in his heart begins to melt. Going back to the room and preparing to go to bed, he dispelled the thought of suicide, and thought of his ex-boyfriend again. After all kinds of warm memories, Ya's heart attack took his life.
The whole story is like "American Beauty", the same mid-life crisis, the same close-up of sexual fantasy, the same miserable beginning, and the same change of heart and death. The difference is that since the director is Tom Ford, a well-known designer, he must have a costume with occupational disease characteristics. The handsome boy has close-ups of his chest muscles and facial close-ups, interior decoration and architectural design must be exquisite, and the rhythm must not be fast. In addition, since the performance is bleak, the saturation of the color is directly reduced by the PS to a very low value, but those close-ups that make the protagonist have a normal physiological impulse, or feel the warmth of the world, the saturation is high by the PS. I can't help but say that it is a very straightforward film language, but using too much, coupled with such a slow close-up always makes people feel a bit fake. This film is permeated with the aesthetics of middle-aged comrades. It is the young cows who eat tender grass and choose some young faces to have a good PS saturation.
But I became a little interested in the dialogue between him and the students. Little A said, Oh, what you have now is what we admire the most. He laughed and said so what, completely ignoring the weight of his wealth in the emotional market. What I vaguely remember is that Little A asked what he thought of the past, present and future. He said that the past has passed, he lives in the present, and the future is unknown. In fact, he is a complete deception to the child. If he does not live in the past, he will commit suicide. His sister Tao is very straightforward and resolutely refuses to go back to London to find the good old days, and still hopes to live in the past. A talented woman used to tell me that an individual is an island throughout life. No matter how you try to connect, you will eventually find that it is not forever. The truth is that you have to be friends with loneliness for a lifetime. So, how to find one's passion is the most important thing. It is safe to have a sustenance outside of feelings. I can't help thinking of classmate Gore. After the defeat of the election, he regained his strength and found his new passion. I think he is the role model we should learn from.
