I'll talk about some of my views on this film as soon as possible. First of all, we must understand one thing is what the theme of this film is. There is no doubt that he is a movie about a crush, about a 19-year-old boy's love for a mature woman. This is not a crush in the traditional sense, but a crush based on voyeurism. This sets the tone for a very different response to the film. The initial motive for this voyeur, no doubt whether it came from teenage sexual desire and curiosity, was a very common urge, but in the continued voyeurism that followed, the boy's behavior and The idea has changed, so based on the long-term voyeurism, he approached the inner world of this woman more deeply, and he gradually realized that this girl is not the kind of lover in the stereotype, she has a richer heart Activities, she will also be vulnerable and sad. So in such a long-term observation, it is difficult for him not to have empathy with the girl, which also makes the boy naturally think that he is in love with her. But he didn't know how to reach her, and the methods he took were very rash and childish. But then the boy found out that his actions did not provide any help to the girl, but instead caused trouble. He still admitted his mistake in person very responsibly, and conveyed his admiration to the girl. Here we will introduce this female character. He is a woman with rich experience, so in her concept, due to the tempering of too many disappointments and too many failures, a general disappointment in love has been formed, and he and she no longer believe in it. There is a very pure relationship of love and being loved in this world. Well, in this case, she met this boy, and the way he was in her life was very unusual and intrusive. But she was very calm, because she had a strong sense of self-protection and self-isolation. She turned her head to cater to the society's stereotype of mature women, and seduced this teenager with her body. What was her purpose in doing this? First of all, if she wants to teach this boy a lesson out of revenge, there is no need to betray her own color. In the middle, she can actually stop deliberately showing him that she is sleeping with others. We can also know from the boy's conversation in the cafe that she doesn't mind these offensive behaviors that much. Didn't take this thing seriously. Therefore, in the explanation of revenge just now, her motives were not sufficient. So it seems to me that the real motivation for this behavior is a self-destructive tendency. she passed cater. These labels that others have given her. To induce this pure boy to become the male figure who disappoints him. She hopes to turn a flower into a knife, and finally let the knife pierce herself, so that she can identify her belief in the emptiness of love. And this guy is just a tool for her. This is a very egoistic approach, which also induces strong resistance from the teenager, because he knows that the real woman is not like this, but he has no way to change the woman's mind, so he ran away in a hurry. , and teenagers always amplify their inner emotions and act impulsively, so this kind of anger and powerlessness makes him choose to commit suicide by cutting his wrists. On the contrary, the heroine was persuaded by the boy through this behavior, believing that there is such pure love, and at the same time realizing how selfish her behavior was, she finally pushed down the barriers in her heart, which is what we do at the end of the film. What she saw, she looked out the window through the telescope of the boy's house, and saw the picture of the boy comforting himself in pain.

This is a rare romantic film that I like very much. The unconventional expressions of affection between men and women in the film and the incomparably beautiful language of Kieslovs make me want to stop, and it is a classic not to be missed.

    "Peeping" has become another expression of love under the blessing of secret love. Everything you see, everything, is beautified with a halo. However, there are always some flaws that will come into view, and there will always be some embarrassment that cannot be added. Can you deceive yourself in the name of love? Perhaps your secret love is just an existing fantasy with a carrier of reality, and your "voyeur" is just a mirror, layered on top of the other side flowers.

    8/10. The scene frame followed the character and continued to correct the composition. Tommark ran out of the post office and called Magda to admit that he was involved in a set of emotional reaction shots that were not arranged in advance, like a documentary, with red bedspreads, tapestries, telephones, oil paintings, window frames and transparency. Shooting through a mirror reveals a passionate desire to be surrounded by a dim living space. At the end, Magda's eyes are close to the telescope and toward her room: caressing the overturned baby bottle in tears, and Gu Ying expresses her love and loneliness.
