      Desire Beach

      He wanted to stand in front of her begging like a Talihumala Indian, with arrogance, but she had absolutely no intention of adding him to one of his many men's collections. Although in his moral world, she is ugly and lowly. He was angry, upset, and even transferred her to a partner, he didn't get a moment of peace, he finally let go of his arrogance and became a member of his collection, but the moment she got it, she abandoned it, although He felt that he had abandoned her, and he was proud...

      It's really attractive

      The master's works, the images are super friendly, but the language and techniques make people feel distant, or intriguing.
      Heidi, just being herself, is really simple, but it is the most attractive and charming. Let the men in the collection want to break their heads, simplify them into complicated ones, and disturb themselves. The Tao is always inaction and inaction, constant and ever-changing.
      I have read a novel, the name of which has been forgotten. When she was old, the...

      Tragedy trapped by oneself

      What Rohmer highlights is actually the tragedy of modern thinking, being trapped by oneself with no possibility of escape... The movie screen must be beautiful, the beauty that reigns over everything, and under the precious golden light, it presents an open space A paradise where the door is closed again, showing emotions ranging from worry to anxiety. There is indeed a world around us, with objects, people, and life, and this certainty is astonishing at first glance, in the eyes of an...

      female collector

      After watching the film, I don't think Hardy is lewd, and calling her a collector of men is too harsh. She's just lively + cute + a little lazy, and her innocent cuteness will naturally attract a crowd of admirers around them, whether they're the flamboyant kids partying all night out of boredom, or Daniel and Adrian pursuing a reclusive life, or Collector and Merchant Tom All of them were impressed by Hardy's charm. She is pursued by a bunch of people, and she happens to be a little lazy, too...

      A moralist's rollover

      This story is one of the most favorite stories I have seen in Rohmer's movies. The plot is very sour and refreshing. An intellectual who has read too many books and self-esteem meets a beautiful, charming but indulgent woman who makes him shameless. He is attracted to her uncontrollably and cannot extricate himself from wanting. Have a relationship with her, but at the same time despise her style of behavior. Just struggling, only to find that this woman didn't mean anything to herself, but...

      The expression of metaphysical literary lines is hard to digest. When a rational boy meets a casual girl, compared to the two intellectual boys who are full of benevolence, righteousness, morality and poetry, the casual girl is more frank and not hypocritical. Human is the collection of sensibility and reason, and emotion is the collection of love and desire. When a man only uses his lower body to think about problems, he is destined to be at a disadvantage, and the more he can't get it, the...

      7/10. Rohmer’s males read too much books, and their behavioral thinking methods have the superiority of a philosopher. They would rather grind their mouths than decide whether to go to bed or not; women are better at knowing the emotional game well, when the male protagonist plays on the beach. She pushed away hard, and then ran to the arms of the male number two to arouse the possessiveness of the male lead. Prose-culture movies usually just lead the audience into the life of a certain type of...

      It is simply a movie version of the chapter "On Collecting" in Baudrillard's doctoral dissertation. The "collector" here is a type of person: he has no way to regard others as real subjects, and can only collect them as objects. Of course, he has a certain appreciation and knows what is worth collecting. But it is also limited to collections. He has no way to truly live with his collection and experience all the changes in his life together. Therefore, he wanted to be alone, but he couldn't...

      ★★★★☆ The relationship between men and women is not very clear, it is better to interspersed with some philosophical dialogues about life. Female collectors collect Chinese vases, and they also "collect" different types of men. The male protagonist has always wanted or wanted to sleep with the female collector from beginning to end, but people don't buy it and continue to hang. Finally, a middle-aged and elderly man came, and she spent the night with others without saying a word. Sometimes love...

    Movie quotes

    • Daniel: The more girls a guy has, the more he's suspect. The important thing is not to be liked. It flatters me. It's nice not to be in her collection.

    • Daniel: Screw her, old man!

    • Haydée: I found a definition for Haydée. She's a collector! Haydée, if you sleep around without premeditation you are the lowest of the low. The atrocious ingenue. But, if you collect in a consistent way, with obstinacy, it's a plot, things are entirely different.

      Daniel: Yes, but she collects badly.

      Haydée: I'm not a collector.

      Adrien: Don't say that. It's your only quality.

      Haydée: You're completely wrong. I'm searching. I'm searching to find something.
