The Lover

This was supposed to be a literary film. Only love, only desire.

The background of the film is that Vietnam is still a French colony.

The youngest daughter of a destitute French family meets a wealthy Chinese boy. One is that there is no love at home, and the other is that he has lost enthusiasm for his own life. It is because of the lonely atmosphere that they are inexplicably attracted to each other in the crowd.

Leung Ka Fai is a man with a forbearance in his heart, while Jane is a kitten who seeks warmth. The collision between the two produced a violent fire of love.

In the original book, Kundera always said that the other party was a cowardly man. In fact, in the movie, I don't think so. At least, Tony Leung tried to communicate with his father that he wanted to marry Jane, but his father refused and threatened with property.

In fact, if there is no money, their love will not be so unforgettable. Poor and humble couples are sad, I don't think the male protagonist will be so elegant after losing money. So sometimes, failed love often has a bit of fate. The same is true now, in the face of bread, love is nothing.

The female lead has always looked down on the male lead, but she is just filling the hole in her heart. It was only when all this was about to end that Mu Ran saw him looking at him in a corner, and suddenly realized that he had always loved him deeply.

Hey, women are like that. When a man pursues himself, he takes it for granted. However, over time, he has actually been slowly sinking. When it was time to separate, I found out that I loved him the most... Let's


talk about the sex scene. The French people's bed scenes are so realistic and beautiful. Of course Leung Ka Fai did not let us down, he did a great job. The figure is also good, the clothes are thin, and the flesh is taken off. And buttocks. The rhythm is also very good, really not pornographic at all, very literary, okay? Although it is an undisturbed love, and there is suspicion of raping a young girl, it is so enjoyable to watch! Maybe in sex, two people can forget everything about reality, only love each other. Think of "Lust and Caution" hehe.

Indeed a classic.

    The decadent feudal ideology, prejudiced social concepts, and the disparity of status and status once again ruined a sincere and moving love. At the end, there is a kind of helpless sadness and regret. moving. This kind of weak, incompetent and sullen but in love with the rich second generation is really none other than Leung Ka Fai, and the heroine has an unforgettable beauty.

    He sent me a paragraph from the original book today so I started watching the movie and it turned into a pure love story and we were concerned with an individual's self-discovery

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."
