Love? Just be alive【Spoilers for the whole show】

One of the characteristics of my movies is that I don’t see the director. Well, maybe Tim Burton is an exception... Of course, this is also related to the fact that most of Burton’s movies are the queen starring Johnny Depp... In other words, I watch movies. They are all chasing actors to watch (basically), so when many people talk about the movie "Only Love Eternal Life", they will add a longing look: "Directed by Jim Jamush", I will Very confused, who is Jamush?

Okay, I admit that I watched it entirely for the male and female protagonists of the film, Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton, and according to previous film reviews, this film is too literary and very suitable to improve my own. Force frame, so of course not to be missed.

The movie is a vampire movie with a slanting style. The scenes are set in two places. The heroes and heroines are also the same as the vampires. Eve of Tilda Swinton has been living in Tangier in North Africa, Morocco, reading and wandering every day. Days, when dawn is coming, I went to a cafe called One Thousand and One Nights to buy clean and fresh blood from an old vampire who knew a French doctor; Adam of Tom Hiddleston lived in Detroit, a declining automobile city in the United States. Write music, collect musical instruments and other things through friends who have signed a non-disclosure agreement (perhaps with the nature of an agent), dress up as Doctor Faust, and go to the hospital to buy his favorite O-negative blood from Dr. Watson in the middle of the night.

Adam and Eve were a couple and had three weddings. The most recent one was in 1868. They laughed at themselves before acquiring their prey, and they were fifteenth-century. They knew that Shakespeare’s shadow writer was their vampire friend. Schubert’s Adagio scores were given to Schubert, and Byron and Shelley were very close. The fake names on the passports that can fill a bed are all the protagonists of famous masters. How long did they live? No one knows that they are like the elves in the Lord of the Rings, if they are not killed, they will live from the origin of the world to the end of the world.

In fact, it’s too easy to tell from the names of two people. The names of the first couple of human beings. Of course, it’s obvious that the director didn’t want to conceal this meaning at all. He spent his mind on other symbols and symbols. NS. There are also obvious contrasts and symbols in the film: Eve’s hair and clothes are not pure white, and her wrist wears a bracelet with a black skull pendant, while Adam’s hair is black and her clothes are very dark. There was a necklace with a white skull pendant. As for those contrasts that cannot be seen from the surface, the director also took a lot of thought, Eve was open-minded and easy-going, Adam was entangled and melancholy; Eve liked literature and history, and the era of objects can be understood by just touching it. Adam liked music and science, and was proficient. Various musical instruments and instruments.

In all respects, Eve is a perceptual person. He feels life in the browsing of literature and can feel deeply when he sees the poisonous mushrooms that grow out abnormally. But Adam is still standing on the opposite side of Eve. He is obsessed with reason. But a hundred thousand years of life cannot be accurately measured, so this has become his pain. Living in the dilapidated streets and dilapidated houses of the dilapidated city, all he sees every day is decline and death, and in his eyes, humans and zombies are nothing. In the same way, even the mushrooms that Eve was delighted with, Adam coldly thought they were a mistake.

Adam and Eve are partners, but as I said before, the two were separated at the beginning. Why? It may be because of different ambitions, but there is no doubt that there is a tacit understanding between them. Their partners can only be each other, because only the other side understands themselves for such a long time, and the patience of life in the long years is not It will increase, it will only decrease, and it will decrease to the point that no change will be tolerated. Just ask for nothing to change. At this point, Eve and Adam’s philosophy are different. Eve’s materialism is that change means the same, harmonious and unified, and the mind is relaxed; while Adam has taken the horns and even thought of ending his own life. From a conversation with a friend, it was probably known that he used a 38 bullet to shoot his heart, but it was useless, so he wanted to use the ancient legend-wooden bullets acted as a stake and shot into the heart to end his life, but it was still Without waiting for his final courage, Eve keenly sensed Adam's frustration through the video chat, so she came to him.

Eve saw Adam's bullet, which was the only time she was shocked in the whole film. Even when an old friend died almost without blood, she was not so nervous, because at this time Eve saw death.

Death should be uncommon. Eve has read so many works. From the way she handles things, she understands the concept of death very thoroughly, but from this shocking look, she actually never thought of the real Death, and the feeling of death, will Adam die? Will you die? How can it be!

The bullet storm passed by the two people dancing with American country music. The next thing is even more trouble. Eve’s sister Ava felt annoying in Los Angeles. She ran over to her sister and took a sip of blood. Ava watched. She was younger and more beautiful than Eve, with blond hair, a plump body, and a lively complexion. She broke the quiet and orderly Puritan life of Adam and Eve until Ava couldn't help but absorb the blood of Adam's friend.

As early as 87 years ago, Adam was dissatisfied with Ava because of the same basket that Ava stabbed in Paris, so he decisively kicked Ava out of the house, and after Eve threw the body of his friend into the nitrification tank, the two hurriedly fled Detroit and came. To Tangier where Eve lives. After witnessing the old vampire who could provide them with blood dying because of drinking some contaminated blood, they faced the test of life or death. Finally, after witnessing the kiss of a pair of young people, they decided to pass the lover His blood maintains his eternal life.

The above words became the introduction of the plot. I wanted to pretend to be a literature and art, but it failed... But it shouldn’t be too late to continue the literature and art...

Adam’s human beings are called zombies. This is a bit of a ridicule, because in the eyes of humans, vampires are not much different from zombies, but in the movies, the ancient vampires have read through the world over the years and mastered most of the world’s knowledge. , While the evolving human beings continue to degenerate and stand still, the status of the two seems to have undergone a subtle dislocation. When Adam bought blood from Dr. Watson, the badge he wore was Dr. Faust. In Goethe’s Faust, Faust signed a contract with the devil, implying that vampires are now doing illegal transactions with humans. It is ironic that the humans here have become demons. And not to mention that in the film, many cultural celebrities in history are mentioned in a ridiculous tone. Shakespeare and others have become famous people. In other words, the ancestors of mankind in this film are incarnations of vampires, watching human history with cold eyes, watching the decline, and what they do is to sleep soundly during the day, and when they wake up at night, they pour blood in the goblet and tell history. Tribute to the past.

The feeling of drinking blood is wonderful (to be honest, everyone has an orgasmic face every time). In the movie, I also gave several slow-motion close-ups. The blood-rimmed white fangs appeared behind the lips. The director wanted to use this to show the correlation between drinking blood and taking drugs. If this theory comes true, then the act of drinking blood to preserve immortality is a metaphor for Adam and Eve's (human) desire and desire for survival. When Eve took a sip After the last blood in the small flat bottle, she hesitated for a while before she thought of handing it to Adam. When finally choosing the prey, the young men and women, the girl’s voice and music, and the bright and beautiful body, before Obviously he attracted Adam deeply, so after deciding, Adam quickly added "That girl belongs to me"; Eve was so compassionate, she might just cover up her guilt, saying "just turn them into vampires", but Adam did. With a chuckle, "You are really romantic"... In addition to the horror that Eve saw after seeing Adam's bullet, so, only love eternal life, Only lovers left lives, love is alive, but you have to live before you can love Go down.

Eve has milky white gloves. Adam’s is black. They wear gloves in front of others. At that time, Adam and Eve turned their heads away in the face of the temptation of bleeding wounds to ensure that their hands are clean. When the last Adam and Eve decided to attack their lover, Eve's gloves were thrown away dirty and no longer beautiful.

The vampires in the movie are really hard to connect with human beings without letting people know them. Anxious, open-minded, wise, blind, willing, greedy, generous, fine, the master of all contradictions, only the desire for infinite life and the love that depends on life Is unchanged.

Finally, I will talk about some pure sensory feelings: the music and songs are superb, the lens is slowly rotating and shaking, soothing and beautiful, with a slight psychedelic and dazed. And, after Adam and Eve met, the two slept together during the day, with their naked sides and snow-white carcasses lying on dark green sheets. The two actors are also famous for their good figures, so this section is the largest On the contrary, there is no erotic meaning in the lens, pure and beautiful, just like the stone sculpture of ancient Greece, or the feeling of touching velvet.

    This apocalyptic tone. Noble and cool. The 5038th person has seen it.

    I am not afraid of vampires sucking human blood. I am afraid that vampires are educated. "Only Love Immortality" turned out to be such a film that fell out of the book bag. Dou Sen and Tilda Swinton’s sister-in-law love is close to mother-child love, so they can meet to be the spokesperson of the sunglasses brand. Fan is very positive, and Sven Sven can endorse Apple mobile phones by the way. The photography has a texture. Detroit is empty at midnight like an abandoned nest in the universe, beautiful and blurred, and the light and fluttering music is very seductive.
