After watching "Lolita", I didn't know how to evaluate this forbidden love for a while. It violates morality and ethics, but Professor Han Ba's true feelings are touching. Even though he knew that Lolita didn't love him and could only take advantage of him, when he learned that Lolita was not doing well and had other people's children, he still begged her to come back to him without hesitation, just as in the film He said, "She can fade, she can wither, and she can do anything. But I just looked at her, and all the tenderness came to my heart." In this broken and twisted relationship, Professor Han Ba ​​is doomed to fail. But his extreme control and ingratiating immature feelings lead him to guilt, hurting Charlotte and the writer. At the end of the film, when he drives to the place where they once met, he only hears the laughter of the children, but it is not that there is no Lolita around him, but that the laughter here is not hers.

    The combination of romance films and Film Noir, the glamorous girl and the thin layer of erotica are really unbearable, and I would be desperate to fall in love with her. "I'm sorry I lied to you so much, but that's how life is," and Lolita finally feels like she's been stabbed to death when she says it all.

    I can't feel a trace of love, it's all desire and temptation. Kubrick’s German accent for playwrights is very thoughtful, probably suggesting that he was interested in the projection of instrumental rationality represented by the Nazis on human desires very early on.
