When the Xinhua Bookstore was still prosperous and active in an important part of the city, many of my childhood books were bought there, including this book with a blushing erotic image on the cover. So people’s thoughts really become wretched with age. When I was young, I only felt that there were so many stories in this book. The painting style on the cover that looked like relief was very realistic, but when I grow up, I think about it. But I was surprised that it was a little yellow book for myself at that time. Men and women deceive each other for sex and money, and sincere feelings are always swift and unbelievable. Among them, the story of Marguerite cutting off the head of the beloved man and hiding it in a flowerpot fascinated me the most. At an age when I didn't know what loneliness was, I first understood the sadness and purity of love.

In Pierre Paulo Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life", the composition is neatly composed and the photography is like a canvas scene. There are many gorgeous characters. The structure of "The Canterbury Tales" is worse than that of "The Decameron", but the ridicule and playful nature of the "Canterbury Tales" on sex makes it inferior to the eulogy of true feelings in The Thousand and One Nights. The three stories all start from the noisy bazaar. The full-blown human voice is the only language in the world that can be understood without translation. Trading is probably the only behavior in human nature that is special to other creatures, and the resulting fraud, vanity, Injury and killing constitute an indispensable part of human life. From the daily life of the common people to the spread of religion, from an inadvertent look back to the country's several changes, life can be absurd and laughable, or it can be serious and silent resistance. It is the world itself that seems abnormal. Comparing evil tastes with the virulent hypocrisy in the world is like a fight between a real villain and a hypocrite.

The film did not use the storytelling method of men and women in the original work, but directly spliced ​​several irrelevant stories, which inevitably sometimes makes people feel headless and dumbfounded. But the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people is no distinction between good and bad, no matter the novel ways of defrauding money or the inconceivable tricks of fraud, they are extremely lively and interesting, and their faith in ghosts and gods has also given thousands of years of life a wonderful and sad atmosphere. . The unfinished murals on the church wall give the blank space a rational and pyrotechnic atmosphere in the theological atmosphere. Any story seems to have no ending, and any story can have any ending.

The movie remakes the story of a flowerpot raising the head of a Tibetan lover. The good news is that the brother who killed his sister’s lover did not steal the flowerpot again. When I read a book, I often imagine that the poor queen is sobbing and searching for her flower pot. Fortunately, in the movie, he fell into the dust and bloomed a bunch of flowers for her.

The stories of underage men’s and women’s affair tell us that a few years ago, most parents who came to different places tended to be tolerant towards rich sons-in-law. The strange thing is that adult women always complain that they do not get satisfaction and happiness from marriage, but when they are their own When their daughters face the problem of getting married, they can only attribute the problem to poverty.

The end of the story is divine, contrary to the "Canterbury Tales". The ending of "The Decameron" makes the angels such as Our Lady of God stare at the visiting newcomers expressionlessly, with a solemn atmosphere; while the "Canterbury Tales" "The Episode" mocked the false priests who do not respect gods with hell, and let the devil's chrysanthemum spray countless preachers, which is so evil and fun.

    After watching it, you will definitely feel that the director is a pervert. It's really a wonderful Nima movie, and it makes me convulsive.

    Many fixed shots of Pasolini’s movies are very shaky, and the composition is very casual and the dubbing is even rougher. Using this realistic style to shoot mythological stories intuitively makes people feel that the technical level is not enough. He only has "Sodom 120 Days." 》Beautifully shot
