This is the story of an old man with few wives, a perverted love that is hard to be accepted by the secular, a love movie full of desire and temptation, and a pure love and betrayal.

Another translation of this film: pear trees on begonia.

Eighteen brides are eighty lang, with gray hair and red makeup.

Two nights of mandarin duck quilt, pear tree pressing begonia.

The word "Lolita", in popular terms, can be summarized as the popular "Lolita complex". The word Lolita is also abbreviated from Lolita, which refers to a budding girl over 9 years old and under 16 years old. Lolicon is really not a legal nickname for pedophiles! )

The original Lolita was written by Russian writer Vladimir Nabokov in 1954. After its publication in 1955, it was once banned from the world for being accused of "erotic and perverted love" and criticized by critics as "young America raped aging Europe". It was remake into a movie in 1962 and 1977 respectively.

The version of 1962 is directed by stanley kubrick. At that time, the technology limited the film to black and white pictures, and the theme of the film also focused on the irony and criticism of this abnormal relationship.

Today I want to talk about 1977, which is directed by adrian lyne and starring Jeremy Ai En and dominique swain. Lolita, played by dominique swain, is an American girl of 12 years old, young and beautiful, full of the temptation of evil spirits like fairies. Jeremy Ai En plays humbert, a university professor who is a pedophile. After meeting Lolita, he fell into endless desire and finally died.

Lolita.

The light of my life, the fire of my desire.

My sin, my soul.

She will fade and wither,

But at first glance, all kinds of tenderness will come to mind.

First encounter and fall

Humbert, from England, accepted a teaching position at beardsley University in the United States and decided to go to his uncle's house to finish his new book during the holiday before school started. However, due to the fire in his uncle's house, humbert was arranged to live with a widow named Charlotte Haizi. Haizi is a pretty widow with a lingering charm. She fell in love with humbert, a charming English gentleman, at first sight and kept talking with humbert. Humbert made an embarrassing excuse and left.

In the garden, Haizi introduced his daughter Lolita to humbert. At this time, Lolita was lying on the grass in a short skirt close to skin color, and the shower soaked Lolita's clothes, highlighting the girl's immature body curve. The girl reading the magazine noticed the stranger's eyes and looked up with a bright smile on her face.

Humbert fell down.

It all started when humbert 14 years old. Humbert has just had his first girlfriend, and has a relationship in the hazy. However, the accidental death of his girlfriend greatly stimulated humbert, which led humbert to become a pedophile. The body of underage girls is as tempting as drugs to humbert.

Humbert stayed for Lolita.

Infatuation and depravity

In the days when Lolita's mother and daughter were together, humbert looked at Lolita quietly. This ignorant girl is the epitome of the character and behavior of young American girls, rebellious, arrogant and self-righteous. Haizi used the following ten words to describe his daughter in the Children's Personality Survey: quarrelsome, noisy, critical, suspicious, impatient, irritable, nosy, listless, disobedient and stubborn. It can be seen that Lolita's rebellion and mother-daughter disharmony.

For the arrival of humbert, Lolita didn't hide and change too much. On the contrary, she virtually gave humbert a fatal temptation.

She walked barefoot through humbert, who was reading a newspaper;

Do not lock the bathroom door when going to the bathroom;

Sitting on humbert's lap, sticking chewing gum on his diary;

Unscrupulous approach to humbert and physical contact, ambiguous actions deliberately seduce humbert. She knows nothing about her charm and seems to know everything. As humbert said: She seduced me first. Before Haizi sent Lolita to boarding school, Lolita rushed back to her room and kissed humbert. Here Lolita is purely curious, playful like a child, and has no feelings. Lolita has always been in the dominant position in their relationship, but she never put her heart into it.

At this time, although humbert had fallen, he still had adult self-control and moral constraints. He wrote everything in his diary. In order to be with Lolita, humbert married Haizi. From here on, humbert began to get lost in desire.

After marriage, Haizi fell in love with humbert, but learned the truth in humbert's diary. Haizi was heartbroken and wrote an angry letter to his friend. He died in a car accident on the way to post a letter. Haizi is still expecting in the letter that after a period of calm, he will find an opportunity to get back together with humbert …

Humbert, who learned of Haizi's death, burned Haizi's letters and his conscience and morality. He quickly packed his bags, happily picked Lolita up from boarding school, lied to Lolita that Haizi was just sick, and then took Lolita on an elopement trip.

In the hotel where she stayed, the seductive Lolita caught the attention of the porn writer Quilty. It was also in this hotel that Lolita took the initiative to have sex with humbert. But humbert was just Lolita's pastime when she was bored, and he didn't know it.

Betrayal and destruction

Humbert was always responsive to Lolita's willfulness, but Lolita was tired and dissatisfied with having to rely on humbert to survive, and began to look for reasons to resist humbert's control. She got humbert's favor by flirting, got money from humbert by $2.50 in sex, and responded with lies. Humbert knew this, but there was nothing he could do. After the fierce quarrel, Lolita completely gained the upper hand and gained control of the relationship.

Lolita controlled humbert's will like a drug, making him desperate and miserable but unable to extricate himself. But humbert's compromise was not rewarded, Lolita escaped, and humbert fell into a crazy search.

Three years later, the gaunt humbert received a letter from Lolita. Lolita is married and pregnant with children, and the embarrassment of life makes Lolita want humbert to provide some financial support. Humbert sold all his assets, found Lolita and begged her to go back with him, but Lolita refused.

Humbert learned that the man who took Lolita away three years ago was Quelty, a porn writer he had met. Lolita said that Quilty was the only man she had a crush on, but she was abandoned by Quilty because she refused Quilty's request to make porn. This made humbert completely desperate. He left all the money and killed Quilty angrily.

Finally, humbert was arrested and died in prison, and Lolita died in childbirth.

This perverted love despised by the world is finally over.

Secular criticism of humbert's shame and unbearable thought that he was the chief culprit in luring Lolita into ignorance and indirectly killing Haizi. Indeed, humbert has human defects. He did not love Hayes, which led to Haizi's death. He loves children. As a sensible adult, he leads Lolita to the abyss step by step.

but ...

Isn't Lolita a sin in itself? She knows how to manipulate humbert's will and how to exchange her body for what she needs. Humbert's love is the capital of her negotiation, and she can throw it away when she doesn't need it. Although humbert is her stepfather, Lolita is the master of this relationship. The evil behind her is unknown and unacceptable. Humbert sacrificed all her time, money and life for her slight frown. This girl is Pandora's box.

It is difficult to determine what is secular, but through this kind of sadism, what we see is the exploration of human nature and original sin. In all erotic and love languages, what the original author wants to describe is always a serious narrative about "desire". All evil stems from desire. In the face of desire, humbert lost all restraint and rationality and became Lolita's slave.

I don't want to stand on the moral high ground and condemn humbert blindly, because we are all in an irresistible desire to reflect on ourselves. Through this film, what we need is an understanding of the original sin in human nature and introspection of our own desires, just as Adam and Eve learned to be ashamed after stealing the forbidden fruit in Erie Garden.

Humbert's love is pure, only for Lolita. He still loved Lolita when she was betrayed and abandoned. When he found Lolita three years later, Lolita had already lost her former appearance. She is "bloated, pale, vulgar and pregnant with someone else's child." But I know that I love her more than anything I can imagine on earth, just as I know I will die. "

And Lolita, Lolita is like a leprechaun. I don't know what her life is for. I just hope her ignorance and depravity will not happen to you and me. In the face of such original sin, we can keep our desire. After all, the best result of these years we have experienced is that we have increased our wisdom and learned to exercise restraint.
