super actress

The man lying on the sofa lost his life, and he fell there stiff and ashamed. The open silk nightgown on his body and the penis falling on the ground showed his decadent life, and the messy furnishings also told the audience what happened here. Had a fight.

The camera moved from the corpse to a black muzzle close-up, and then extended to the owner of the gun, which was obviously Jeremy Irons who played Humbert. He was stunned for a while, then Only then powerlessly lowered the arm holding the gun.

"I'm Humbert Humbert, a professor of French literature." He pointed out his name and the other's, "The dead man's name was Carlyle Quilty, and he was an erotic playwright. There's nothing wrong with that, as you can see, I shot this man."

He told the audience in the tone of stating his guilt: "And this is not an accident. If you can observe this man without a heartbeat at close range, you will find that there are more than one gunshot wounds on his body, and I shot them all. .”

The camera lens of the film matched the close-up of those bloody gun holes.

The man's clothes are elegant, and his words are clear and elegant, showing his professor status. He is pale and sweaty. He is not a ruthless murderer, but after killing a person, he is still extremely calm, and his inner monologue is also Telling people he has no guilt.

People who have read the original work already know his identity and the entanglement with the deceased at this time, but they are still curious about this technique of revealing the ending at the beginning, and they can't wait to know how the movie narrates this Audiences who haven't read the original work will be even more curious about the story behind the intentional homicide.

As if he knew what the audience was thinking, Jeremy Irons also asked them in the movie, "Why did I kill him?"

"Oh, that's a very long story." He raised his eyes absently and looked at the camera, "In order for you to understand, I have to tell you my first love first."

The scene jumped from the dimly lit mansion room to the bright and warm beach. Everyone knew that it was a memory fragment. Sure enough, the next moment, two young teenagers and girls appeared in the camera.

The man should be the young Humbert, and the girl is his first love. She sat directly on the sand, with some fine yellow sand on her bare legs, creating an ambiguous yet ambiguous look against her young and smooth honey skin. Unobtrusive vibe.

Owen Shake

Head sighs, Adrian Lane is really good at depicting love and desire. But now they are only two people of the same age, so the audience's response is good, and they can all accept young people's sexual attempts in love.

Sure enough, when people saw the young Humbert and his first love, Annabelle, tentatively contacting each other in the secret base but being interrupted by bad luck, their expressions were full of understanding and tolerance, and some even laughed .

"She is Annabelle, my first love." The elegant British accent dealt with Humbert's European identity, and Jeremy continued to act as the voice-over, "But she died that year, in the most beautiful and most beautiful place. The age of youth is infinite, so she will not grow old or ugly, she will always be so perfect, my love will stay with her at that time forever."

"I could no longer be interested in women my age, and even as I grew older and older year after year, I was still obsessed with young girlish desires."

When he said this, someone in the audience frowned uncomfortably.

While they all know what Lolita is about, not all of them are Humbert-like psychopaths.

The camera turned and returned to the room where the murder occurred. Humbert approached the body on the sofa, and he stared at the man who died in a miserable manner.

"But this man, this devil called Quilty, he took my hope, all of me, I couldn't forgive him, I had to kill him because after taking my Lolita Abandoned her without cherishing."

"Yes, my Lolita, she's the only thing in the world I care about."

After this sentence fell, the movie officially entered the main line of the novel. The well-dressed professor Humbert came to the New England countryside in New Hampshire to rent a house for Dolores Haze, the daughter of the landlady Charlotte Haze. a residence.

And in this movie, it's the flashback to the story, not the beginning.

The gunshots and corpses at the beginning have already foreshadowed the final tragic ending of the plot, so no matter how warm and beautiful the current lens language is, the audience is still vigilant and does not easily fall into this sweet trap.

Discovering this situation, Owen Gilberman figured out the arrangement structure of the script. Just because the film arranged a murder scene for Humbert at the beginning, the audience had a potential impression of the male protagonist as a murderer. what a tragedy

If there is no suitable reason, people can't really forgive him.

He shouldn't have been forgiven.

At this time, Owen was still able to obtain content information from the screen while thinking clearly and analyzing the film's structure and shooting techniques. Then, the camera moved along Humbert's line of sight to the heroine Lolita, Owen was shocked immediately.

For a moment, he thought it was his own breathing, but then he realized that it was actually the collective exclamation of the audience in the movie theater.

Adrian Lane is totally shooting this young girl from Humbert's point of view!

This is terrible. When she was growing up beautifully, the director who is good at portraying the charm of women also used extremely delicate and beautiful shots to depict her youth, depicting her eagerness to mature from immaturity .

Different from the hazy and dreamy first love, this girl who hit Humbert's soul is bright and dazzling, even though it is also warm toned, but the bright green lawn, the bright outdoor light, the moist and transparent water sprayed from the water pipe, And Charlotte Haze's meticulously tended gardens make everything even more beautiful and vivid.

However, nothing compares to the girl who was focused by the camera. She seemed to have stepped out of the book full of Humbert's obsessions, with chestnut hair and honey skin, and a slightly raised butterfly bone on her back. As if Nabokov described Lolita according to her.

The light honey-colored skin was powdered from the wet white shirt, as beautiful as her young and smooth face. She lay on her stomach and raised her legs, gently shaking her slender bare feet, not minding getting wet. Serve with wet mustard.

In a blink of an eye, the picture returned to Humbert, and people were still a little bit stunned. The Sue Lane version of Lolita in Kubrick's movie is also exquisite and beautiful, but she is as beautiful as a doll, and the audience appreciates it Her appearance, but there is no way to empathize with Humbert's heartbeat and obsession, so Kubrick's wretched and weird Humbert moved the audience in another ridiculous and inferior form.

And this Humbert played by Jeremy Irons is more decent, even glamorous and stable. Only in the pair of fanatical eyes staring at Lolita, people can find a trace of ominous madness.

They are also memories, Annabelle lives in the past, but Lolita has always been vivid in Humbert's mind, one is the dim yellow fine sand, the other is the bright green new grass, which one is more important to him and who is it? He can't give up

That, at a glance.

Even after seeing all kinds of silver-screen beauties, Irving Gilberman couldn't help but be moved by this lively and vivid youthful beauty. Of course, he was not coveting this Lori who was completely different from Kubrick's movies. The tower is just appreciating such a vibrant beauty with the eyes of critics.

Fortunately for Owen, Ryan paid attention to the scale. He didn't really film Lolita's appearance as the obscene scene Humbert saw. He gave the audience Humbert's perspective on the girl, so that they can understand more clearly He clearly recognized her charm, but did not directly show Humbert's thoughts, which is what Owen was most worried about.

He worries that the film will mislead the audience to think from Humbert's point of view. If the narrative is completely from Humbert's point of view, the audience will easily be led astray.

People outside the movie were amazed, and Humbert in the movie was even more fascinated. He immediately fell in love with this young girl named Dolores.

Mother called her Lo, he called her Lolita.

The mother complained to Humbert about her daughter's waywardness and disobedience, and Lolita did the same. She made a mess of the room and didn't like to tidy it up. She was so messy that she walked around the house wearing a sock. Sometimes I imitate TV to act as a judge, deliver meals to the tenants, and steal some of my favorite cheese, all of which will be blamed by my mother.

But Humbert loves her to death. All the shortcomings are touching and cute to him. Even if Lolita steals his meals and desserts, he will only find out that he can get her by not telling her trust.

"It's okay, I don't like those sweet things, you can eat them." He smiled nervously and looked forward to it, "I can even feed you."

The man took the initiative to hold a spoon.

Lolita stared at him hesitantly. She needed to determine which side the man her mother had invited to live in was on, and why he was so nice to her.

In the end, her mother's urging made her lower her head and lick off the spoonful of syrup, and her wet red tongue rolled gently along the cold silver metal, wrapping the sweet sticky syrup into her mouth.

This close-up undoubtedly has a strong sexual implication. Owen can understand what the director wants to express. This is the temptation Humbert gave Lolita, and she is hooked. If he can get Lolita's trust, then of course he can get her too.

Contrary to what Irving thought, this "Lolita" not only did not choose to pay tribute to Kubrick, but also did not choose to follow Kubrick completely.

The original is gone.

There may be comparisons to those plots in the book, but they are definitely not copied, otherwise Owen would not be impressed. He found that although Humbert had more shots, the inner monologues heard by the audience were also Humbert’s, but They couldn't take their eyes off Lolita at all.

She is indeed beautiful, but this beauty is not only because of her delicate face, but also because of her youthful vitality shown in getting along with Humbert.

She is too young, and whenever she sees their interaction out of bounds, it will inevitably cause the audience a little discomfort. Either she is disgusted with Humbert's attempt to get involved with underage girls or she is curious about this forbidden love affair, but when she sees Lolita Self-righteous innocence and self-satisfaction, no matter how resistant people are, they can't help but be attracted to watch it.

How she hopes to grow up quickly, dance ballet, become a star, leave her mother who has a quarrel with her and doesn't understand her, and then become the most charming and successful woman. This kind of fantasy is not only naive but even naive.

Lolita is really naive, she actually thinks it’s not a big deal to exchange a kiss for a candy, every time she sees her getting closer and closer to the old man, the audience has a feeling of witnessing the angel being led into hell step by step sense of powerlessness.

Although Lolita is far from the word angel, her curiosity about sex and her complacency in attracting the interest of old men are not as good as the pleasure of licking raspberries, which is enough to prove that she is very serious about what she is doing. Things are not clearly understood.

The mother told Lolita that she was useless, while Humbert said that she was the most beautiful girl. In these two completely different voices, she became closer and closer to Humbert.

This stingy and willful little devil competes for Humbert's attention in front of her because of his quarrel with his mother. When his mother is not paying attention to them, she secretly holds Humbert's hand. The old man is naturally the most The happy one, not only did he not tell Lolita that there was anything wrong with it, but he indulged and seduced her again and again to go too far.

But the audience still couldn't hate this poorly educated girl. Seeing that her mother was lost, Lolita took Humbert's hand and put it in her mother's palm again.

The charming mother laughed, but the man fell from the clouds to the trough, and wanted to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

Only Lolita, from the beginning to the end, she is casual and free and easy, for her, all of these are not as interesting as sitting in front of the TV and watching the show.

so people

Realizing time and time again, she's really just a kid.

It's certainly torture, and Lane makes his Lolita so appealing that even people who don't like young women can appreciate such youthful nymphet beauty.

But he is arousing the audience's interest with scene after scene of beautiful pictures and ambiguous sexual hints, just when they want to think that this is an ignorant girl who is willing to degenerate and seduce adult men, and at the next moment he uses Lolita's naive and ruthless He slapped them hard and reprimanded them for actually thinking from Humbert's point of view.

Lolita wants a man who can prove her charm, she wants a playmate who will do her best, and what she wants more, is actually a father.

Realizing this, Humbert fell from the clouds to the bottom, and the audience's emotions and thoughts changed again and again as the plot progressed. One moment they felt that Humbert was excused, and the next second they felt He has committed a heinous crime.

Then Owen Gilberman was horrified to discover that it was not Humbert played by Jeremy Irons who guided the audience's emotions, but Lolita, who was hailed as a witch by Humbert. Girl, she can easily arouse the love and desire of men, and also easily arouse the pity of the audience.

Whether it's an angel or a devil, it's all in her mind, and it's all in the director's plot arrangement.

However, there are demons who have been coveting her wandering around, so she is destined not to be an angel.

"Bam—!"

Another piercing noise rang out, and the previous one took a life away, this time it was Lolita's mother.

When Lolita was taken away by Humbert in ignorance, she officially stepped into the abyss. The man drove away the girl he was obsessed with, and the vehicle drove from the sunny avenue to the dark The forest trail, and gradually drove to the darker unknown.

From this moment on, the audience no longer hesitates, they fall into the role of Lolita in Humbert's narrative, and they hope that nothing will happen to her.

However, the ending is already doomed.

One third of the movie has passed, but Owen Gilberman didn't feel tired and slow at all. As a literary movie, the rhythm of "Lolita" is very good. At least so far, every turning point can attract people. people's attention.

And the most eye-catching and brightest is that Lolita!

Owen regretted why he didn't memorize her name before watching the movie, so that he wouldn't wait anxiously and resistingly for the end of the film. He really wanted to know who she was!

The author has something to say:

I'll just talk about the differences from the original movie, and I won't repeat the same things later.
