Ask a question, on what basis do you choose to watch movies? The answer may vary from person to person, but I just rely on intuition. In March, I watched "The Room with a View" (hereinafter referred to as the "Room") and the popular "Call Me by Your Name" (hereinafter referred to as the "Name"). I watched "The Room" a long time ago, and I was completely overwhelmed by the exotic atmosphere inside: Italy’s wild wilderness, Britain’s quiet and comfortable manor; Italians’ innocence and directness, compared with the English gentlemen and ladies’ politeness, while watching Infinite yearning grew in my heart. And the perfect love between Lucy and George. Yes, the beautiful scenery sets off the romantic love, and I don't know how many people's hearts have been captured. Looking back many years later, the ones who were once enamoured have become more and more shining, and the understanding of the part of love seems to be no longer the focus of whether to "harvest", but how to "pursue." And it is this part of how to "pursue" that makes the movie a classic.
Then I watched "Name", a film that cannot be defined by a gay movie. A purely coincidental selection, "intuitively" made myself new discoveries. It's not astonishing not to know it. The director of "The Room" is James Ivory, who is also the screenwriter of "Name". The big poster of "Name", Elio and Oliver's heads are against the blue sky, and the main poster of "The Room" is the blue sky that George and Lucy look out of the window of the room, just as George said to Lucy ：My father says there is only one perfect view, and that's the view of the sky over our heads. (My father says there is only one perfect view, and that's the view of the sky over our heads.) The ability of the Creator to give everyone to love, whether it is love between men and women or same-sex love, is the most invisible thing in the world. "You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal."
The narrative rhythm of the two films is deep water and quiet, moisturizing things silently. The storytelling is very intellectual, and there is no intense plot conflict. Passion and thinking (reason) are usually opposites, but in James In Ivory's movie, the two stand on the same side of the scale, presenting a broader tolerance and deep emotional thickness to the audience. In "The Room" Cecil's emotion for Lucy is the possession of an object, not the love between people; while George's request of Lucy is: "I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts. My own opinions and feelings. Even when it’s in my arms. "The Room" is a work of James in 1986. If the dialogue between George and Lucy is just a simple exchange of two young people, 30 years later, he launched "Name" by Elio’s father used Elio’s father’s perspective to expound his position more deeply and directly and forcefully: "Your friendship is beautiful. Maybe it surpasses friendship. I envy you. From my point of view, great Most parents will hope that this matter will end here, or pray that their children can cheer up quickly. And I am not such a parent. Now you, will go to heal the pain, but if there is still a spark in your heart, don't be cruelly crushed. It. Avoidance will not make us sleep at ease. But in contrast, it would be worse to see the other person forget about ourselves than expected. In order to be able to heal faster, we deprive ourselves of so much that people come In the first year, the relationship has dried up. Every time you start a new relationship, the energy you can put into it becomes more and more meagre. If you want to avoid being trapped by love, it is wasteful to close all your emotions. I have also had a chance, but in the end Failing to have everything you have, there are always meaningless things that make me hesitate or block my footsteps. How you want to live your life is up to you, but you have to remember that our bodies and minds are both A unique gift, and inadvertently, your heart will be exhausted. As for your body, no one will care about it one day, and no one will want to approach it. Don’t stifle the sadness and pain you are experiencing at the moment. Because it is connected to the pure happiness at that time." No wonder Oliver envied Elio and said that he was lucky to have reasonable parents. In fact, George was also educated and guided by such a father. Otherwise, how could he collide with Lucy? The two movies seem to be about love on the surface, but a careful understanding of them both goes beyond love and can extend to family education and social education, guiding the audience to explore how to pursue love and seek truth; through the pursuit of love and truth, one can gain life’s life. Happiness and joy. What is happiness, what is happiness? The simple thing that can release one's nature and obtain physical and mental pleasure is happiness. In "The Room", Lucy’s brother Freddie, George, and the priest are happy to swim naked in a small pond in the forest; and similar The scene is also in "Name", Elio, Oliver and Elio's father excitedly witnessed a famous statue being dug out from the deep sea, and the way to celebrate was to go nude for a swim in the sea. Both films present the beautiful natural scenery of Italy, as well as the ingenious classical statues of Italy, which express the beauty of human body lines with marble so real and sensual. Does all these bring you wonderful physical and mental enjoyment?
All in all, the two films are typical author movies. The author is James Ivory. He is 90 years old this year. He is still able to win the Oscar for Best Screenplay Adaptation with "Call Me by Your Name". What a great...
