My favorite love and elixir

I like the movie "Love and Elixir" very much. Some people say that this movie is too erotic. It is a sex portrait of two handsome men and women in the game life; , in fact, this is the most helpless expression of weak individuals in the face of the powerful status quo. The most classic and exciting part of the whole film is that Jack successfully achieved the sales performance of 1,200 prescriptions, and took the initiative to call his mother to share his joy of success. McGee was reading and she was happy too.

Jack: Mom, it's not an aphrodisiac, it's a vasodilator. McGee laughed. Because Viagra was originally discovered when Pfizer Pharmaceuticals was developing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs.

Jack: I sold 2000 prescriptions this month, which is my total sales for the whole year. McGee looked surprised and disbelieving. Jack felt McGee's strange emotion and hung up the phone.

McGee: You just said 2,000 prescriptions?

Jack: Is there? McGee was full of disbelief again.

Jack: Then I'll call my mother again.

McGee came over: Why?

Jack: Sounds better.

McGee: Name your four strengths. Jack forced a smile.

McGee: Are you generous? Jack didn't answer.

McGee: Are you considerate?

Jack: Not considerate enough. McGee squatted down, stretched out his right hand, stroked Jack's head, and said affectionately: You are charming and handsome. Jack shrugged indifferently, shook his neck, shook his head, and grinned.

McGee added: Smart, wise and decisive.

Jack: Am I?

McGee said firmly: You are. Jack bit his fingers like a little boy getting praise and admiration from his elders or teachers.

This clip has a lot of power in it. Very layered. 1. Should I lie to my family? Should I lie to my family members who love me dearly and love me? Many of us often lie to our families. There are good ones, and there are ugly ones. Too many lies are told, and our hearts are lost as we gradually become insensitive in the need for a thoroughly relaxed family life. Not to mention in an environment other than away from home. Jack lost his job, didn't tell his family, was told by his brother, but he couldn't get the understanding of his father, sister and brother. During dinner with the family, Jack gritted his teeth, stretched his arms and laboriously went to clink glasses with the family. This scene is both cruel and humorous. This is the scene of our lives. You will laugh and you will be heartbroken. Sometimes we are really cruel to those who love us, When he needs encouragement, comfort, and support, we are blind and can't see; deaf can't hear; wooden people do nothing for him. Even refused to give him a warm seat at the dining table. Home is like this? Where else can you go outside of home? . McGee knows Jack and thinks that Jack is so good that there is no need to lie to his mother, who is a symbol here. is a symbol of love. McGee's original intention was whether Jack would lie to himself for the so-called better. McGee believes that love is a beautiful thing, and should be sincere and magnanimous in the face of family and love. And McGee casually named Jack's six virtues, generous, considerate, handsome, charming, intelligent, wise and decisive. This is a dialogue between two souls. Jack took in his distressed and frustrated younger brother when he was in distress, comforted him, and gave him a home—this is generosity; Jack bears his own pain, otherwise his family will know to worry and be sad—this is considerate. This is what McGee values ​​most about Jack, while being charming and handsome is what McGee and Jack care about the least. This is also the reason why McGee put it in the middle and said that it is good to have a beautiful appearance, but more important than appearance is whether a person is noble in heart. What McGee wanted to know was whether Jack loved his looks or who he was? As the years go by, will Jack still love himself? Jack's disapproval of his appearance shows his life and ideological realm. The souls of the two people have reached an agreement. This is a journey of soul discovery and the sharing of each other's beautiful hearts. McGee became Jack's spiritual support. It was McGee's encouragement and appreciation that lifted the sails of Jack's life and made Jack realize that his future would not be lonely and confused. Because of McGee, there is a beautiful life waiting for me in the future. That's how McGee made Jack fall into his own love net, unable to extricate himself. Jack biting his finger is also a symbol. Under the power of love, Jack completely tore off the disguise, like an innocent little boy, and presented everything to McGee. This heartfelt ease made Jack as naughty as a little boy. That's why Jack said that we meet thousands of people every day, but we don't care, only one touches our hearts, and our destiny changes. Poverty and disease must go hand in hand.

The sex in this movie, and the various medical regimes, are just the surface of this movie. It is also a true representation of our life scenes. The truth is how to spend one's life under such a status quo, and ultimately will not become a person who has no pursuit and is not needed by others. In reality, many people are not needed by others, let alone become spiritual elixir for others.

It's like someone said if you think of this movie as bullshit it's bullshit. But I still hope that everyone can find the flower below, after all, there are not many good movies out there.
