Uncle this matter

Miss Ingrid recently mentioned "Growth Education" on her blog. At the end, she added: "The male protagonist is a bit like Leslie, and the heroine is very similar to Xiao Shui, very weird."
Who doesn't want to have one that looks like her own? The heroine is in love with a actor who is a bit like Leslie. Out of sheer vanity, I immediately went to see this movie.

Carey Mulligan is actually 25 years old, but she played a 17-year-old female student in the film, and she was both innocent and shy with her pouting. She was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress this time. As for whether I’m like me, I’m not good. The judges can judge on their own, but obviously the heroine is younger than me, more beautiful than me, smarter than me, and stronger than me. If Ingrid doesn’t say that, I just watch it as a normal film. However, since she said that I can't help but compare it from time to time while watching the movie, so naturally it was extremely frustrated.

But Peter Sarsgaard looks like Leslie, his loose belly can't be covered. Another "Fish Bowl" also tells the story of a married uncle who concealed his marriage history to seduce Lori. Michael Fassbender's body is obviously much better. As soon as he appeared, he was wearing a pair of low-rise jeans with his upper half naked, and the camera couldn't be separated from the waistline.

However, the charm of the uncle is not in the figure. The uncle in "Growing Education" took the 17-year-old Lori to listen to operas to participate in auctions and travel to Paris, and easily obtained a life that an adult woman could hardly achieve in her entire life; She was very considerate. Loli said she wanted to keep her virgin body temporarily. He said that I would just take a look. She would really pull down her pajamas to show him, and he would really only take a look, and then help her get dressed; Even if it's a liar, it's at least bothersome-he even went to see her parents, and even her parents cheated in, the family thought they hired a golden turtle son-in-law. Studying hard and entering Oxford is just to get this kind of life. Now someone has prepared everything for her. Why did she work so hard before? Loli’s father thought for a while and said, if you are not smart enough, he will not like you, right, anyway, you can get to the destination, who cares how you go.

Liao Yimei wrote: "When I was young, I preferred older men and felt that boys of the same age were simple and boring. But associating with men who were much older than me, I felt that I was smart and mature, possessing more years and experiences, and extending to life. With longer tentacles, I have a deeper understanding. When I grow up, I know that everyone will have years and experiences. After years and years, it’s just too much. Only then can you realize the mentality of older men. Back then, you thought you were yourself. Smart and mature, in fact, all he saw was youth and vitality, and their praise was actually flattery to life." But Ingrid added, "Not only is it early to become famous, but also early to be deceived." It seems that this kind of thing is always necessary. Only after going deep can you really see through the abandonment, otherwise you will still send out like Ingrid, "I just want to go back to the age of 17 and have the luck to meet such a person."

The reason why the combination of uncle and loli can happen, there is always a large part of vanity. When the little Lori from "Growth Education" and his classmates said that he would take me to Paris, dangling the engagement ring in class, including putting a bottle of Chanel No.5 on the female teacher’s podium, I was always quite proud. Not only won his peers, but also won the uncle's peers. Not only that, but also seeing the possibilities in oneself and the universal possibilities in life, this kind of surprise can also be mistaken for making love. Just like "The Humble God" (ie "The God of the Little Things") said, "She may be too young to understand. She fully affirms that her love for Chaco is actually a kind of self. A vague and timid discovery.” The

uncle also has vanity, not only because he is “fascinating with life”, but also because he can clearly see how easily he exerts an influence on a young life, just like Lord Henry did to Dorian. Gray's did it. He enjoyed her surprise, her admiration, and her gratitude, and he watched her enter a world beyond her ability with great interest, but tried to be as quiet as possible and didn't want to appear as if she had never seen the world before. He looked at her very tenderly, as if there was not enough love, and realized all the girl's dreams like magic-he probably thought he was half a god, and friends would help out.

In the end, the ending is still the most old-fashioned. Such a glamorous uncle was married. The wife led the children to watch the little girls come to the door and left crying. The uncle was so embarrassed to say that I would help her divorce. . Lori gave up her heart, so it was because she saw his wife and children with her own eyes, it was better to see that even if she was really with him, she would only become the yellow-faced woman in front of her in the future. There will always be a younger, more beautiful, and smarter little Lolita. Although Lolita likes Camus, she doesn't plan to be a female version of Sisyphus who wields a sword and cuts the peach blossoms. When things got to this point, it was the uncle who was ashamed. The uncle in "Growing Education" drank a bottle of wine, and finally drove off with counseling. The uncle in "Fish Tank" was even scary, and the girl just did a good job. I immediately said sorry that I crossed the line, and ran away when I lifted my pants. Ingrid said: "In the story of Uncle and Loli, the winner is always the latter. If Loli hasn't won yet, is the story over yet. Know that time is on her side." All in.



"Growth Education" reminds me of another movie called "Afternoon Love". Loli is Audrey Hepburn and the uncle is Gary Cooper. The two films are really similar. The two heroines are both student girls. To learn the cello, the male protagonist is a gentleman who understands romance and sentiment. But luck is that the uncle of "Afternoon Love" is not married, and Loli happens to have a father who is a detective. She happens to know what kind of love prodigal she is facing. The uncles also tried to escape when they were about to sink deep. Hepburn chased after the train, and was finally pulled onto the train at the last moment.

It seemed that this was purely a matter of luck, but at the last moment some people got in the car, some people didn't, everything was in the uncle's mind. But after thinking about it, Hepburn's victory also made sense. She knew what she was doing from beginning to end, and being able to be responsible for her actions was a gamble with the mentality of losing. The loli of "Growth Education" asked her uncle to be responsible for her. She was so stupid that she even quit school to get married, and she didn't leave any way behind. She probably lost too much confidence. I think the proportion of scum in old men should be the same as the proportion of scum in men, and the proportion of scum in people is the same. There are always times when you step on shit, which is completely a matter of probability. It's like lottery. The poor gambler in "Growth Education" who thinks that he can make a profit without losing all hell, and finally loses his money, is still a child; better calculate how much he can bear before betting, and it is natural to win. , You can bear it even if you lose. This kind of person who can take responsibility for himself is already an adult mind; but the most powerful gambler is still a gambler who has no intention of winning or losing. They gamble for the sake of gambling and love for the sake of love. Either a sage or a scum-the uncle has no sense of victory or defeat, and if he doesn't force it, Loli will be confused by this kind of free and easy, and obediently take the bait.

The screenwriter of "Growth Education" is Nick Hornby. He understands the mentality of middle-aged men too well. From "Extreme Fanatic" to "Loss of Love Ranking", he repeats a truth-men don't grow up, they only gain weight. . At the same time, he is gentle, all the stories are happy, the uncle fled in embarrassment, Lori was admitted to Oxford, it is an inspirational film. The screenwriter of "Afternoon Love" is Billy Wilder. Of course he knows what men are like, but he knows better what women want to see, so he gave a happy ending. This ending is clever. When the movie ends in Hepburn, when Cooper gets on the train and kisses him affectionately, it seems that this is everything. But the movie will end, and life will continue. How likely is Hepburn not to become a yellow-faced woman, and how likely is the uncle's heart from now on? Cooper is also too old. When Lori is at the age when she is the most sexually driven, the uncle's body functions are full of loopholes, and she will probably regret why she had to chase the train in the first place.

Finally, I quoted a paragraph from Ingrid, "I like her classmate boyfriend very much, the one who might write a book in the future, but Loli’s father said that people who write famous books are not as good as people who know famous authors. How little boys know how to advance and retreat He was so humble and forbearing at a young age. I don’t know what kind of generous heart I can grow into in the future. "I also like this role very much-the uncle may have ten thousand yuan, and he gave Loli one thousand yuan; the little boy only has ten yuan. , I gave it all to her, but Loli was anxious to grow up, only greedy for what came out on the table. Loli's parents asked the little boy what you were going to do next, and the little boy said I wanted to take a year off from school and look around. He is so young that he has the essence of dazzling. Loli is still too mundane. She rushes directly to the hero of the uncle of the idol drama (still a married old liar), but missed a good young man with a "blade" style.
