Although I am a fan of the original, I have to say that this movie is too loyal to the original. The first half talks about too many details that have nothing to do with the main line, which makes the 152-minute film seem a bit dragged.
Charlotte's character is well-created in the movie, and the actor's performance is also great. It's my favorite character in this movie. When Quilty was thinking about it, I seemed to see the shadow of Woody Allen in "Annie Hall". . .
It gives me the impression that the male protagonist has the wrong temperament. Even if he wears a suit or a dress, he still exudes a straight male breath of science and engineering that I am very familiar with, instead of writing "Lolita, light of my life, fire of Professor of French Literature at my loins. I was wondering if it was because he was too old that he gave people a sense of naughtiness and integrity?
The biggest flaw in this play is the heroine! My God, Kubrick chose a well-developed blond girl with the wrong rib. From her style to her temperament, she is a Monroe-style silly and sweet. I believe she is 20 years old. , What about the good loli? There's no light in her eyes, she can't speak and act like lolita, she really ruins my goddess, so angry! The crying scene and the arguing scene when I learned that my mother died, I watched the embarrassing cancer. Kubrick, have you ever seen a 14-year-old girl cry when she was sad? It's so fake, look I didn't see a single tear. And when a girl of this age is angry, it doesn't look like Godzilla, and my sister's trouble at this age is not just a matter of shouting.
