“I do not know if in these tragic notes I have sufficiently stressed the peculiar "sending" effect that the writer's good looks — pseudo-Celtic, attractively simian, boyishly manly — had on women of every age and environment. Of course, such announcements made in the first person may sound ridiculous. But every once in a while I have to remind the reader of my appearance much as a professional novelist, who has given a character of his some mannerism or a dog, has to go on producing that dog or that mannerism every time the character crops up in the course of the book. There may be more to it in the present case. My gloomy good looks should be kept in the mind's eye if my story is to be properly understood.
I wonder if in this tragic story the author has adequately emphasized my characteristic "god-sent" good looks - false Celtic blood, striking ape-like features, boyish masculinity, sensibility to any age, any circumstance Women work. Of course, it sounds absurd to use the first person to rant. Every now and then, however, I have to remind the reader of my good looks, as a professional novelist does, from time to time to add a personal touch to a character or a dog of his writings, Whenever the character or the dog appears in the book, it must have this style characteristic. This book is even more so. If you want to understand my story correctly, my gloomy beauty should always be kept in mind. ” (Huang translation)
Take a paragraph, talking about the casting of the male lead, the 97 version of Uncle Tie may still be able to harm many ignorant girls, but Kubrick's version is really subtle, the beauty of James Mason "gloomy" gave me a sense of suffocation throughout the whole process, Pretending to be helpless, enjoying control, and being self-motivated, this should be the main theme of the movie. Because of the movie star you like with a better image, you distort your thoughts, not only by being deceived by the first-person male protagonist narrative, Also deceived by his own eyes, it's hard to tell if it's the abuser pervert or the self-masochist.
I have to mention that Lo's mother, Ms. Charlotte, is deeply poisoned by patriarchy, and she doesn't think the character portrayal in the first 1h is too artificial. It's too real. The root cause that needs to be found is still the "H" people, no matter if it's a book that men worship. Yes, or being raped and given sleeping pills after cheating on marriage, it is difficult to be a mother, how about being yourself?
Finally, in the original book, Lo begins at 12 years old.
