some thoughts

Lover, may be a short-lived good, tragic ending. The interpretation of Duras and Tony Leung, a girl from a low-class French family, curious about sex, and disdain for Chinese people, did Duras fall in love with Tony Leung, I think, her heart is not clear, she just I want to enjoy the joy of that time and get rid of that dull life.

In the end, a man has his own family and his own children. When Duras returned to France, he looked at the other side of the ocean and knew that he had fallen in love with that man, but he didn't know what kind of love it was, sex, or the love after being fed and satisfied, or just coveting. The love of man's money. . . I think maybe only she herself understands.

    She watered the plants in the house twice. Those plants, like this man, breathed lifelessly in the dark for many years, waiting for the girl's moisture. When they said goodbye, it was the way they met for the first time, and it was easy to think of the sentence: If life is like first time. "You will miss this afternoon in the future, even if you have forgotten my appearance and my name."

    First heard the theme song, then read the novel, then watched the movie about ten years ago. Young people's vague thirst for flesh and love is fermented in the copper stench of a tropical colony. I still remember Liang Shuji's buttocks.

The Lover quotes

  • [last lines]

    Narrator: Years after the war, after the marriages, the children, the divorces, the books, he had come to Paris with his wife. He had phoned her. He was intimidated; his voice trembled, and with the trembling it had found the accent of China again. He knew she'd begun writing books. He had also heard about the younger brother's death. He had been sad for her. And then he had no more to tell her. And then he told her - he had told her that it was as before, that he still loved her, that he would never stop loving her, that he would love her until his death.

  • Narrator: "Now and then I go back to the house in Sadek. To the horror of the house in Sadek. It's an unbearable place. It's close to death. A place of violence of pain of despair, of dishonour... But it's in this family's dryness in it's incredible harshness that I am the most deeply assured in myself. In the deepest of my essential certainties, all common history of ruin and shame, of love and hate is in my flesh."
