One Saturday, I stayed up late in bed watching the 1962 version of "Lolita". I wanted to watch this movie. On the one hand, it was the gimmick of infidelity that made me want to watch it all the time. On the other hand, suddenly One day I saw it in WeChat Moments.
The beginning of the film is that a middle-aged man kills another middle-aged man with a gun. This kind of beginning is a bit frightening and a little boring. I even thought that the dead man was the male protagonist who was not in love. However, watching the full movie only to find out that wasn't the case. The male protagonist is a poet and writer, but he is not too attractive (probably a casting issue), so it is a bit hard to accept that he is surrounded by so many women, and to be honest, he is not very handsome. Gentleman, he went to the dance with Lolita mother and daughter. In order to see Lolita more, he excused to leave Lolita's mother and kept his eyes on Lolita almost for a moment. And later, after he married Lolita's mother, he secretly ran to the toilet to write a diary, but these were all natural, because he liked Lolita, not Lolita's mother, the reason why he married her mother was mainly To get close to Lolita. So, in general, this old man is not at all fair but full of obscenity. Lolita has no love for this man from the beginning, more because her mother is obsessed with this man, so this man is to her. more like the spoils of war between her and her mother.
Lolita's mother is a very emotional and sensitive woman. After losing her husband, her self-identity has decreased, and her thirst for the opposite sex is very incredible. This can be seen from Lolita one night. Instead of spending the night at her mother's friend's house as originally planned, she ran back home. Her mother's hatred towards her could be seen. Lolita's mother rejected her daughter quite a bit. Attraction is much stronger than herself. Based on this jealousy, Lolita's mother's affection for her daughter is minimal. In fact, homosexual rejection is well known, but Lolita's mother's rejection of Lolita is beyond In the normal range, Lolita's later indifference and ruthlessness are actually linked to her mother's psychopath. Just imagine, as a girl, she couldn't get enough love from her mother since she was a child, and even she got only some negative things from her, she was quite disappointed with people, and subconsciously, she knew that survival is more The main thing is to rely on yourself, and there are few people who are really worth relying on, so for the male protagonist, Lolita did not fully entrust herself, or it is more a need for survival.
It is necessary to discuss here what kind of love Lolita needs. Before writing this article, I read a lot of comments, nothing more than that Lolita failed that old man, but is this really the case? For a person who has never been loved by her mother, she doesn't know what love is, she doesn't know how to love others from the bottom of her heart, she only knows that if she wants to survive, she must find ways. It happened that the old man appeared at this time. Lolita followed his usual thinking mode, but the old man's love for her was paranoid and even selfish. In order to love her, he began to restrain her and prevent her from participating in various This kind of activity just wants her to be under her control all the time. Just imagine, for a girl full of energy, this kind of restraint is simply murdering her nature, can she not want to break free? If this old man had a different way, maybe what Lolita saw in him was not just ugly, of course, it was also possible that it just played an excessive role, but isn't the end of love just letting go? Holding on to a love like this makes the other party unhappy. This kind of love is terrible and painful. In fact, Lolita's tragedy is more due to her mother, but the role played by this old man Can not be underestimated.
Love needs a sound personality to support, if not, such love is at best a kind of self-satisfaction.
