"It’s touching, deep...I can’t come out for days...not only about spirituality, but also something deeper, which I can’t describe very clearly...but it gives I am very impressed...
It is rare to see KOLs who have always been quick-thinking and accurate in expressing the above and such vague recommendations on the Internet. I came to look for a movie and watched it. Sure enough, no matter the movie or the original, it expressed too much, too deep, and even too heavy. Law and love, love and humanity, faith and well-being... they are intertwined. , Where to start at the moment.
In fact, with my experience and age, I cannot fully understand such a work. After reading it, besides the unspeakable emotions in my heart, I was also full of doubts, especially the kiss.
She gently twisted the lapel of the boy's thin coat with her fingers, and pulled him closer to herself. She wanted to kiss him on the cheek, so she raised her hand, and he bends slightly, their faces got close, but now he turned his head, their lips touched together. She could have retreated, could have left immediately, however, at that moment, she stayed and wandered unpreparedly. "
Booksellers and movies announced it out of commercial considerations, and most of them classified this kiss as evidence of "old and young love", but I think there is instinctive maternal love, a fascination for beautiful emotions, and even a trace of betrayal to the husband. revenge.
It is a kind of [love], not a kind of [love].
Whether in a book or a movie, when her husband suddenly announced that she was going to betray her, when she and her husband and her little niece during the Cold War came to the house for the night, when she saw a woman passing by her with a child on a train, we You can see the inner anxiety of a woman who has lost a chance to give birth. On the surface, this kind of uneasiness is a little regret for the old and childless, but in fact it is the uneasiness caused by the sudden betrayal by someone I have always trusted. It is the sudden realization that I have reached the age of "mistakes cannot be changed". A kind of powerlessness, "child" is just a straw that she is at a loss, explaining her disappointment in love, her powerlessness to the passing of years, and life's betrayal to her, all explained as a simple fault: if I had a child , Then someone can face it together, if I have a child, there is someone who can accompany me...
After all, a simple emotion can make people feel better.
At this moment, Fiona met the boy, a boy who was obsessively naive, so there was more or less "maternal love" in this kiss.
But this is "not just a kiss that a mother might give to his grown-up son." (quoted from the original text)
For Fiona, the boy is so young, with youth that she can no longer have, and the fearlessness that he can live again even if he is abandoned, even so fearless that he can even choose to abandon his life. This kind of initiative in life and life deeply touched this woman who seemed to have supreme power but was forced into a corner by life and unable to move.
So this is more of a [yearning], a [pursuit].
Finally, I vaguely smelled a hint of [retaliation] from Fiona's kiss. There is no doubt that whether it is the explicit "I fucked her" in the movie or the vague speculation in the book, it is a betrayal that has already occurred to Fiona. This is like a dink couple whose husband is suddenly in 60 Receiving an illegitimate child at the age of the year is not just a physical pleasure, but more like a humiliation based on the inequality brought about by gender differences.
It is undeniable that in the current society, the age tolerance of successful men is not a little better than that of successful women, and even the opposite is not an exaggeration. University professors like Fiona’s husband, even if they are married, even if they are sixty years old, there are still 30+ colleagues who are willing to post. It is not difficult to imagine that there may be no lack of suitors in Fiona at 30/40/50, but Fiona must have firmly refused. If you think about it this way, there is nothing to add to the anger and humiliation!
And this time! There is a young boy who frequently casts admiring eyes, even braving the wind and rain, traveling through the city to pursue her, it is hard to say that this hard-hearted judge will not have the usual sense of revenge in the heart of ordinary people.
On the second day of this kiss, apart from being regretted and disturbed by the devastating blow to her work, Fiona called her husband without hesitation. Before that, they were in "ten days and a half months, maybe only one or two." The lengthy cold war period of “necessary communication”. The phone call that surprised her husband, but made Fiona feel that “she was able to withdraw from the neurotic delusion, return to reality, and start thinking about the next step.” I think this is because Fiona feels that she and her husband are before A certain "balance" was reached, which allowed her to stand at the starting point of "fairness" with her husband and face the rest of life.
Someone might ask if Fiona and the boy were not in love before, why did they cry and say "a lovely boy" in the end?
It was only because she could feel Adam's admiration for her, and the unexpected kiss made the boy who had been struggling in faith and reality more confused, and to some extent accelerated the boy's death. The author McEwan said that when he wrote this paragraph, he thought of the "Dead" in Joyce's collection of novels "Dubliners".
Joyce wrote that after a party was over, the couple returned to the hotel. The husband wanted to have sex with his wife, but the wife remembered a song, a song that a young boy sang a long time ago. My wife is now in her fifties. What she thinks of is that when she was seventeen, a boy stood under her window and sang an Irish love song for her, which was the song sung at the party. She told her husband about the love, and he felt a little jealous. She told him that the boy was dead, probably because of the wind chill under her window. She said: "I think he died because of his love for me."
Here Fiona has entered the eternal imagination space of Joyce.
