I admit that erotica has always been a common topic in literature, but most of them are small details mixed in the main line of the story. There will not be long descriptions, and most of them are emotional descriptions to describe the inner world of the characters. And this movie gave me the feeling that there were too many sex scenes. At the beginning, it was very exciting, but when the stimulation was more and more, it became a little numb, the dialogue was too simple, and there was too much physical friction. , so that after seeing the taste of porn, I forgot the main line of the story.

The English title of the film is "Henry & June", but there is no Anne's name. In my opinion, Anne can't play Henry emotionally, and Joan can't play physically. I think there is a bit of sadness. As a young girl, she pursues excessive physical and spiritual pleasures between the two, and eventually changed from a girl to a girl. Women (I don't mean to slander here). In the end, Annie saw through everything, and the camera showed the woman in red who combed her hair turning into black; the street tricks were also seen through; the benches under the street lamps in the fog at night, etc. . . . . . The before-and-after comparison of these shots reflects the transformation of Annie's emotions.

Henry's novel in the film is called "tropic of cancer", and at first glance I thought it was cancer. . . Forgive my English level. After reading it, it is "The Tropic of Cancer", and cancer is Cancer. I personally think that Annie became a woman during the wandering of spirit and body again and again.

    The reason I have always rejected watching it is very strange, just because I think the heroine looks like an alien. After looking at it, I found that not only the heroine, but also the female supporting characters are very similar to the people in the ancient portraits with discordant looks. The erotic scenes are always accompanied by music. I have gradually moved away from such literary and artistic films. Forgive my indifferent feeling about this film, and forgive me for not being able to experience the so-called growth of a woman in a way that is not very smooth in the film.
