A naked woman fell into the water, rising golden bubbles wrapped her whole body, and her brown-red hair was swimming in the water. She was beautiful and charming, her skin shone with the hazy softness of the moon, and she was serene and serene, like the comfort of a baby sleeping in a womb. Suddenly another woman's hand caressed her gently. Confused, searched, awakened.
This is the beginning of the lesbian movie "Night Falls", the end of a spring dream, so the woman Camille began her search in confusion, awakened in search, and finally found what she wanted.
Camille is a seminary teacher and lives a peaceful life. Her boyfriend Martin is also a seminary teacher. They are engaged and want to grow in the theology together. One day Camille met circus actor Patricia at the laundry shop. The two got the wrong clothes. Later, Camille went to the circus to exchange for clothes, and was gradually attracted by Patricia's mysterious, self-confidence and freedom. The beauty is deeply attracted. Patricia likes Camille very much and takes the initiative to express her feelings to her. Although Camille loves her, she cannot accept the fact that it is difficult for her to identify with her homosexuality. Same-sex love is forbidden, after all, homosexuality is against the doctrine, and God will not atone for this sin. She began to be in a dilemma.
On the one hand, Martin gave Camille a peaceful and doctrinal life. On the other hand, Patricia brought Camille a free and flamboyant life with her unique charm. They took a glider and flew over together. The afterglow of the setting sun, flying over the bright full moon in the sky, is romantic and exciting. In the end, Camille also found that she preferred to be with Patricia, so she chose to leave Martin, give up her seminary position, and travel the world with Patricia.
Homosexuality, as a taboo love that violates traditional morality and ethics, is despised and rejected by the public, and this film chooses to reflect the theological discrimination against homosexuality, the suppression of human nature, and the restraint of the pursuit of freedom from a religious perspective. The old-fashioned priest in the film has a symbol of theology and morality. He does not allow people to wear slightly sexy clothes or talk about sex-related topics. He looks at the people around him with an absolutely majestic attitude, all the time. Supervise them at all times. And Camille finally broke this shackles. She always answered very well in an interview, but when asked about homosexuality, she boldly put forward her identity for homosexuality, breaking through the theological barriers.
Camille's puppy in the film has been in a hidden state, as if a dark thread finally put away the whole film. The death of the puppy at the beginning made Camille cry, and at the end of the movie Camille was about to bury the puppy in the snow, but she fainted in the snow. , Camille was finally rescued. The puppy's experience also symbolizes Camille's mental journey, abandoning her previous life, and then gaining a rebirth of her life. In the baptism of snow, her life is purified.
When filming the scene of Camille and Patricia having sex, the camera flashes back to the big red bed and the performance of the two girls in the circus on the high-altitude swing. The two girls are youthful and full of energy, and their movements are stretched and graceful, symbolizing The beauty of same-sex love. The director has always pursued beautiful images in the shooting, the bizarre circus scene, the soft light shining on the female carcass, not too strong, nor the dark darkness, the metaphor of same-sex love is not like people even if it is not accepted by the public. Dirty and dirty in the imagination, it is as wonderful and admirable as the love between the opposite sex.
The moon is always the perfect embodiment of women, and this is a moon-like love.
When the night falls, the moonlight spreads the earth, dispelling the evil spirits all around...
