The clear stream, the blue sky, the birds on the branches, the shy fox hid and peeked at something, and the squirrel that ran between the toes, a pair of 17-year-old boys and girls were bathed in the sun, and their love was just beginning. , secretly sing the forbidden fruit. Everything is so beautiful, like being in the Garden of Eden.
However, the police raid ended the climax that was about to come.
Yes, this is the ending of the movie.
This is the fourth Francois Ozon movie I have watched. , , and this one.
Ozon's movies always have this feature. The beginning of the movie often explains the climax of other movies, such as the death of so-and-so. Perhaps because of this, Ozon can easily capture the audience's voyeurism, and the audience will have a series of whys, and it is precisely because of these reasons that the audience will continue to watch.
I will call the beginning of Ozon's film a title,
We can see that many Chinese detective, or police and bandit movies and TV series often start with a high theme and have a lot of suspense, but in the end they can't justify it. It can hold the audience's heart like a flying kite. No matter how far it flies, it can always be held in the hand and can be pulled back. Ozon is very good at this. The suspense he creates is just a guise for expressing his thoughts. In the end, the audience will Gradually switch from the content form of the movie itself to the idea of the movie content. And those suspense may become less important. For
example, we can see that in "Stay in Time", after the male protagonist learns that his life is approaching at the beginning, < Under the Sand> After the heroine's husband is unknown, and after the murder of the waiter in "Murder in the Swimming Pool", the director's excavation of the things hidden behind human nature. Especially those closest to people, such as family, husband and wife, close friends, etc. Wait, the incompatibility in human nature that hides behind these superficially close relationships, especially in Under the Sand.
And lust, even homosexuality, is just Ozon's tool for discussing these issues.
We don't need to use Look at it with colored eyes, but should look at it from a neutral angle,To think about the excavation of human nature behind this.
It's like if there are flowers in your heart, everything you see is flowers, and if you have shit in your heart, everything you see is shit.
Another feature of Ozon's films is the open ending, and the constant questioning throughout the film, Let the audience think without giving the answer. This
is where I really agree with Ozon's films. There is no single answer in this world. Because people are different. When it comes
to the movie, I still want to talk about the ending of the movie, Alice was killed by the police, Luke was arrested. Leaving aside the strange uncle.
Alice's death is very symbolic, holding a killing gun, being shot may be a symbol The destruction of original sin. In fact, from the whole movie, I believe that Alice is in love with Luke. The meaning of Say should be seen as a symbol of Alice's inner desire for original sin. This is Alice's dream in the movie It can be seen that on the one hand, there is a desire in her heart, and on the other hand, she hopes to restrain it. This is also the reason why Alice hopes that Luke will kill Say, and let the person she loves subvert the original sin in her heart. Use love to overcome the original sin .We can see that Alice only shows her maiden breasts like Luke. The
breasts represent a kind of motherhood, a kind of love that comes from the heart.

It is obviously unfair to blame Alice for all the sins .A major reason why Alice was killed was the gun in her hand, and the gun was given to her by Luke. This reflects the cleverness of the director Ozon.
We can see that Luke is a very simple, naive, Innocent flower boy. Being ridiculed in school is the last virgin. Personally think that in a sense, virgins are more valuable than virgins. The
reason is that virgins are always passive, while virgins are active. For pure boys For example, it takes a lot of courage to face the girl you love, a stick, a kiss. What's more, the moment of the holy insertion!!!

Luke is a weak person, precisely because of his Weakness led to the final tragedy for both of them. He was hiding behind the wall and weeping, and he didn't rush out to punch Say who touched his girlfriend, which is the way of young people. And Luke's weakness can only make Alice's decisiveness And tough. Tragedy just came.

Another key character in the movie is Uncle Weird, which is also an indispensable character in the movie. The actor feels familiar no matter how he looks at it, yes, he is Miki Manojlovic who starred in Emir Kusturica's "Uncle". We can see the treatment of Uncle Weird. Two very different attitudes.
Treat Alice, keep her in the basement with Say's body, starve her. It symbolizes abstinence (including lust and murder) and self-restraint. Say's body was killed by rats Devour, symbolizing the end of the inflated desire will be swallowed up by death, also with Alice.
And for Luke, but let him eat and drink, and even help him masturbate, anal sex. And unsuspecting exposure in front of him .Luke has many opportunities to kill Uncle Weird, or run away. It

just symbolizes the inner transformation from boy to man inspired by Uncle Weird. It's a pity that God is merciful and just, and no one can escape what he committed. The responsibility of sin.
So we see that the flower that has just opened has withered.

Form exploration, cross-narrative between past and present, pictures of streams in the gymnasium and real flowing forest, taxidermy and living animals in classrooms, liberation of desire. It should be a story influenced by "Bonnie & Clyde". It is also a man who can't carry a woman to take risks instead of orgasm, but instead of staying on the road, he staged a huis-clos instead, and the rabbit carries the desire and the imprisoned Dual identity. The translation of the title is wonderful, or the eternal motif of Ou Rong's film 1765
