"The love of the protagonist is incompatible with social concepts, but the protagonist still protects his emotions, because the protagonist is not the slave of the idea, but the master of his own life. Those who do not agree with their love are those who do not agree with themselves; on the contrary, those who agree with their love A person is to identify with oneself. In the end, the protagonist Humbert realizes this point, that is, the essence of his feelings for Lolita is the reproduction of his own essence." This sentence of the Korean author Kang Xinzhu in "The Art of Emotional Management" attracted me. .

So I watched this movie late at night.

Look at this story from the public's point of view. The uncle who has a pedophile has carried out a kidnapping love relationship with his little girl in the moral sense for many years. In his eyes, Luo is the light of his life, the fire of desire, his sin, his soul. Perhaps because of the needs of the film's narrative, many plots have to make people lament the "perversion" of the uncle! Humbert carried out predatory possession of Lolita when he was so young and did not form mature values. In the middle of the night, while enjoying the wonderful body of Lolita girl, he hugged the fragile Lolita who lost her mother and cried bitterly, but all this , didn't it all stem from the tragedy indirectly brought about by what he did to Luo's mother? Later, in order to prevent his crimes from being exposed, Humbert repeatedly became suspicious of Luo, worrying about gains and losses, and even beat her up, forcing Luo to leave school and perform in her favorite plays. He was clearly obsessed with Luo's ghost spirit, but he slapped Luo angrily because of her "inappropriate" stubbornness. It's utterly selfish behavior. Won't his conscience hurt?

Fortunately, Luo has never been a submissive person. She has never been stingy with exuding her own charm. She is even more playful when it comes to sexual intercourse between men and women. When she is happy, she can be unscrupulous. Always have a fatal charm. She will seize Humbert's "soft underbelly" to earn the cost of leaving him, she will deliberately lure Humbert to provoke his jealousy, she will accidentally leave him, and finally find an ordinary man to have ordinary children. ending.

"Lolita" is a rare story from a male perspective that tells a story of falling for love and giving it all for love (personally thinks). Under the desires and hobbies of a man, Luo is a living stunner that can stimulate his hormones. ; As the guilty "father", he did everything to protect and monopolize this elf, and at the same time he was tortured to the point of being unable to live; and finally, when he saw Lolita's slightly bulging belly, he burst into tears and tenderness, which made the audience feel in a trance. Maybe he loves Lolita very much. So, watching this drama is a little cool and a little uncomfortable, but it's still fresh and unforgettable!


later

When I studied "Criminal Law" before, I saw many such inconspicuous cases. For example, Zhang San asked Li Si to come to his house for dinner, but Li Si got drunk and was accidentally killed by a car when he went out. It was the driver who caused the accident and Li Si himself. Zhang San is not legally responsible, so this case will be turned over. But think about it, doesn't Zhang San need to be morally responsible? In our legal system, he is innocent, but in the moral system, should he suffer sin? Just like the story of Lolita, Humbert's deceitful marriage to Luo's mother indirectly caused her to die in an accidental traffic accident, but how can he be freed from the fate of crime and punishment entangled with Luo? I can't get rid of it, and I continue to have the future life harassment.

    When I went down, I thought it was the version of 62 that was directed at Kubrick. Later I realized that I was watching the new version of 1997. It was made very well. I didn't like Nabokov's Lolita, but I was dazzled by the movie. Don't mention incest this evening. It’s not like this. It’s a death scene of love. Luo never loved him from beginning to end. He still looks forward to Kubrick’s black and white version.
