It's been a few years since I saw this movie, and it was a huge heartbreak. The first strong impression is the protracted, multi-angle, and large-scale nakedness of the beautiful protagonist. This kind of scrutinized body nudity is completely different from pornography, and it is indeed a very different experience.
In addition to the shock of sensuality, I also paid attention to the complexity of this film, that is, the topic of human nature that is more important than sex, such as the relationship between creative passion and carnal desire, such as the relationship between creative ability and life, such as passion and moral responsibility.
Like many French films, this film is also a castle or villa in the suburbs, chatting and drinking in the shade of trees, carnival in the dark, men and women who are polite and full of temptation. The protagonist has a lot of time to sway, many of them are freelancers, and they rarely worry about food and clothing.
Perhaps when a society is not worried about food and clothing, and it is not difficult to satisfy sexual desires, the complexity of human beings creates the meaning of life, the authenticity of interpersonal relationships, and the essence of the relationship between men and women begins to appear. So in fact, no matter how naked French films are, they cannot be classified as pornographic films. In French literary films, sex itself is not important, what matters is the state of human existence. Sex is expressed in the state of human existence. The focus is on the significance of sex in interpersonal relationships, and the role of perceptual impulses in life. location, etc.
The story of the movie is probably like this. The old painter lives in a villa in the suburbs with his wife who was a model. However, the old painter has exhausted his talents and cannot restore his creative passion. He lives a famous celebrity life that is actually difficult to pay. . Although life is very leisurely, but the heart is very sad.
The old painter's wife vaguely understood that the old painter lost his creativity because he could not stimulate the old painter's creative passion. Although the old painter created masterpieces with her as a model, the passion cannot be retained for a long time. When they got married and lived together, that passion died down, and so did the writer's creative talent.
Humans are probably a poor species, and the warmth of love kills infatuation and passion, as well as creative passion. That is to say, if the old painter's wife does not leave him, the old painter may never be able to regain his creative passion for the rest of his life. This is very sad, even if they don't want to admit it and hide it from each other, but the disappearance of the old painter's creative passion profoundly shows that people are born to like the new and hate the old, and the price of paying too much attention to moral responsibility is the loss of passion. We can make ourselves behave morally, but we can't force ourselves to have passion. Passion is impossible to force
. In fact, it is difficult to pay under the reputation. Perhaps it is the biggest tragedy of celebrities. When an old painter loses his creative passion, he is not happy, and neither is his wife. happiness. At this time, a young painter who admired the old painter brought his fiancee to visit. When the young painter's beautiful fiancee appeared, the old painter's wife seemed to want to use this young and beautiful woman's body to re-awaken the old painter's creative passion. But the old painter's wife knows that the old painter can only restore her creativity if she pours all her love into it, which also means that she will lose the old painter.
The young beauty is resistant to the role of nude model, she is angry that her boyfriend has agreed to let her be someone else's nude model. Out of anger, she agreed to be a model, so she was quite resistant to the old painter at first. But what is unexpected is that when the old painter is inspired, the young beauty realizes the old painter's fanatical love, which is far more fanatical than her fiance. Under this passion, she was completely unable to resist. So she began to force the old painter to openly admit this passion.
But the old painter could not repay the love of the young model out of his duty to his wife. The old painter finally built his passionate masterpiece in the wall, so that no one could see it, but only showed it as a mediocre work. When the old painter's wife finally saw this mediocre work, she confirmed The old painter did not change his mind about himself. The reason why the old painter chose to do this may be out of his moral responsibility to his old wife, or maybe he wants to prove that man can surpass his animal nature by his behavior.
Women are always braver than men emotionally, and this is also an example.
The most unfortunate is probably the husband of the female model, the young painter. He admired the old painter, hoped to see the old painter regain his inspiration, and was even willing to let his girlfriend be the old painter's nude model. I can't imagine that my girlfriend will be angry because of this, and I can't imagine that my girlfriend will fall in love with the old painter because of this. In the end, he saw only a mediocre work.
The other victim is probably a young beauty. After experiencing the earth-shattering and maddening passion of the old painter, the young beauties can no longer interact with their boyfriends as they used to. Maybe her life was ruined because she could no longer accept ordinary warm water love, maybe the experience made her realize a higher state of life.
Such a film is really complicated.
French literary films are real intellectual films, and the so-called intellectual films are films full of entanglements. The protagonist, who has normal desires and is tempted by sensibility, desperately resists the temptation of sensibility in order to achieve some kind of spiritual and spiritual satisfaction. People living in the red dust always look back and explore the logic of their own feelings and behaviors. This is undoubtedly a bit similar to pulling their own hair away from the earth, which seems to be an impossible thing. But it is this kind of entanglement that makes the French film's understanding of human nature reach a considerable depth. Therefore, viewers who have watched blockbusters in the United States and Japanese pornography in Hong Kong and Taiwan will never be able to appreciate this entanglement.
