I like that hippie mother

Molecular biologist Michelle pursues the truth. Truth is like elementary particles, indivisible, subtle and firm. Such research requires a vacuum, just like his personal life. He has no women, only memories of his first love. The happiness or indulgence of others is only for viewing from a distance, like an experiment under glassware.
Reason and cleverness, perhaps just a disguise to cover up cowardice. Michelle chose to force herself to face setbacks from the beginning of the film.

Bruno was in a literary year, had a marriage failure, failed to flirt with a female student, and went to a mental hospital. Literature is like a booster, but there is nothing you can do when you avoid life and invade life.

But these are the surface cells of the story, and the core lies in the sexual liberation in the 1960s and 1970s and its sequelae. Michelle wants to use Huxley's "Brave New World" as a advertised study to study the asexual reproduction of organisms, which is actually an alternative rational product of this human storm. The purer he is about love, the more rational he is about the physiological system. Faced with the dedication of his crush on his girlfriend for many years and the removal of the uterus soon afterwards, he reacted like a scientist should have, inviting her to spend the rest of his life together.

In contrast, his half-brother Bruno is the loser in sex. It should even be said that it is the Loser of all aspects of life. He was far away from his parents since he was a child, and his grandparents died suddenly. Their deaths were ridiculous and cruel. When they grew up, they fell in love with literature. They had such an angry temperament, but they could not have a relationship with any woman. In front of the psychiatrist, he sadly recalled bit by bit of the hippie mother, saying, I will never be like them, beautiful people. In the end, she was finally frustrated in the celestial campsite. When she met a woman who was caring about the world, she was able to be intimate, but the woman fell straight to the ground in group promiscuity and was paralyzed for the rest of her life. She didn’t have much more of her life. She strongly refused Bruno’s company, but she inevitably watched the phone ringing like a tragic woman. She dreamed about it, and finally jumped off the balcony. It was necessary to move her unconscious legs. , Turn over again.
The face of the deceased lover has been haunting Bruno's eyes. I really don't want to be like the doctors, confirming that such a delusion is a kind of mental illness. To say that the most touching scene is the scene on the DVD jacket. The two brothers are sitting next to the woman who has finally met their heads in their lives, basking in the sun comfortably.

The mothers of these two men are authentic hippies and practitioners after the sexual liberation movement spread to Germany. In the eyes of a hippie, sex is so simple, free, and happy, but her children suffer from it. Although hippie mothers cannot achieve the kind of perfection and responsibility recognized by the middle class in educating their children, from a certain perspective, I like that kind of mother very much. At least, her children have different talents. Also let it develop freely. To the girlfriend of the long-lost good son, remember to bring a condom; then take the long-lost stupid son to meet the smart brother, and let their life’s affection start from that strange hour, from the book on the shelf "Brave New World" begins.

What kind of blood relationship is, in fact, we have no way to make it clear. That is the existence of elementary particles, it is difficult to peel off all the related things and then study under the microscope. Blood, love, and affection in a vacuum are probably meaningless. Biologically.

As for whether the two brothers are so lonely that they have to hug each other half blood in a lonely bar, and can't help but talk to each other? Maybe we should only be envious. No right to feel sad or happy for anyone.

    The pacing of the movie is so bad, the German director made the French story, and it ended up being nondescript

  • Katja: [subtitled version] I do love Brazilian dancing. Because Brazil is full of energy.

    Bruno Klement: F***ing Brazil is full of mindless fanatics, obsessed with soccer and motor-racing. We could go to Brazil together, Katja. We could drive through the favelas in an armored minibus and look at little 8-year old killers and little whores dying of AIDS at 13. Later we can hang out at the beach with filthy-rich drug dealers and pimps.
