There are several types of incestuous love. This type should be most liked by boys and teenagers, because it is boys and girls, and it satisfies the "Oedipus complex" that has been abused by others. So is this kind of love really just because of the so-called "Oedipus complex"? I don't think so. Of course, I don't understand love, and I don't understand analysis and I'm too lazy to analyze. Love is such a stinky piece of shit, you can always smell what you can smell, you don't have to analyze which piece is so stinky.
If I were to recommend movies about infidelity, I would recommend three, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "Classroom Transference" and this "The Reader".
These three films have two main things in common, one is the same type of infidelity, and the other is the war background they involve. The war setting adds to the depth of the love's theme, but if you haven't seen the movie, you might wonder if it's all about wartime love stories. In fact, the war is just a background in the three films, and the protagonists did not come together because of the war. Although the occurrence of the love story in "West" may be related to the war at that time, "Jiao" and "Lang" are completely unrelated, and even "Lang" happened after the war and involved the reflection of World War II.
Such a profound subject of war is really a headache, because the conclusion after my chaotic brain analysis is that all conclusions are temporary, relatively correct and relatively wrong. So, let's talk about indecent love with a perceptual attitude.
I think the part about love in all three films is beautiful, including the shots that are shown, even beautiful. Because this kind of lens processing is easy to go in the direction of eroticism, and the farther it goes is an pornographic film, but it is beautiful precisely because it is handled just right, beautiful but not obscene, and makes the viewers feel good about it.
