At first I thought it was an incest story, but it was actually a love story between a woman and a man. The reason why love has been talked about through the ages is because there are so many kinds, and it is not clear in a few words. For example, this movie is another kind. At first glance, it's a bit like "The Best Offer", where an old man is infatuated with a young and beautiful mysterious woman. The hunger and thirst for love and sex, with some "Bitter moon" color.
The film was made by director Louis Mahler when he was 60 years old. His words aroused my interest in writing this film review: when I am 60 years old, I don’t believe in ideas, but in feelings. And according to my observation, the longer people live, the less they believe in love. So why? The logical thinking of the left hemisphere becomes active.
A few shots were impressive. Shot 1: Man and woman look at each other when they first meet. As long as a man and a woman look at each other for more than 1 minute, something will happen. This is not just love at first sight. Scene 2: The woman said "Let it go" when she got into the car. Scene 3: Anna's mother is like a witch. During the dinner, she inexplicably said that Martin is not the one that Anna likes, but more like her brother (there was a bad premonition at the time). Shot 4: The man's excitement after getting the key. Scene 5: The wife's face is full of masochistic scars and hysterical pain.
Men's and women's love is not the same, even so, the difference of the type is still less than the difference of the individual. The movie is to explain the background of the story, so in addition to sex, the moments of communication and dialogue between the two people are related to Anna's brother. Anna has been bound by morality, she enjoys her brother's love, and she is afraid of immorality. So when she was at a loss and at a loss, her brother's death relieved her, and she was greedy for the freedom of love from then on. She said: People who have been hurt are the most dangerous, they know how to keep themselves alive. Steve's age, marriage and status are another moral shackle, is the old house on fire passion or true love? This is like the two trees in front of my house, one is an osmanthus tree and the other is an osmanthus tree. Passion exists in true love, and after passion, true love disappears. Steve says at the end of the film that the last time he saw Anna, he was following a man, holding a child, just like any other woman.
This domestic film was introduced as father-in-law and daughter-in-law cheated and was accidentally discovered by his son. In the end, he was ruined, his wife and his family were scattered, and everything was ruined like the title of the film. Maybe what the director wants to describe is just a passion, a pure infatuation, the only experience in his life where he doesn't use his left hemisphere and only uses his right hemisphere. I wanted to use the left hemisphere to explain it before, but there is a kind of love in the world that doesn't require thoughts, just do whatever you want.
The men and women in the film "interact" a lot, with little verbal communication. In fact, men and women are related to the physical level, just like a forensic doctor dissects a corpse, the truth is revealed, and he can no longer pretend to be interested. Instead, he was full of curiosity when he checked the corpse before he started. What caused the death? Sherlock Holmes's gameplay is worth pondering. Based on a person's behavior, appearance, and expressions, he reasoned, and he answered all the questions correctly. Therefore, the cooperation between men and women is much more advanced than the combination of men and women. Marquez has long said that the love of the soul is above the waist, and the love of the body is below the waist. It's all love, and there is a manual for each.
