Chapter 44

"She's Lo, she's Dolly, she's Dolores, but when she's in your arms, she's always Lolita."

The hero in the movie recalls that wonderful nymphet, while the off-screen audience follows his perspective and chases that beautiful young soul

"I know that killing this man will not bring back my Lolita, and I will lose her forever." In the quiet room, there were only suppressed breathing and the inner monologue of the murderer. Justify yourself.

"But can you understand? The pain of being deprived of a loved one, if replaced by any bloody person, will not allow such a person to continue to live in this world."

This argument is weak, and after the audience has seen the ending of Lolita, they will hate this old man who keeps talking about Aurora even more.

The more soulful and pathetic Jeremy Irons is, the more it accentuates the hypocrisy of the character.

This Humbert is gentle and gentle, he can use the most beautiful words to praise his goddess, and win people's respect and trust with decent clothes and manners, but he is so cruel and ruthless that he will marry her mother in order to get close to Lolita , and stole Lolita without hesitation after her mother died.

His possessiveness, the madness beneath his gentle surface, and the way he treats young girls have exposed Humbert's hypocrisy and selfishness without omission.

No matter how much he thought he loved Lolita, when she did escape successfully, Humbert was still afraid of being noticed by the police while suffering and desperate.

His despicable love is based on protecting his own safety, but when the no longer glamorous Lolita appeared in front of him, the cruel reality finally shattered the illusion he built to make himself feel at ease. What ruined Lolita, not the man who took her.

Humbert's desperation and sadness are resounding, he shed tears of repentance in front of the camera, he confessed his pain to the audience, as if immersed in deep mourning, an old and miserable man with nothing, the only true love to marry To another man, no matter what he is willing to offer, Lolita is unwilling to go back with him.

This girl who is so self-willed at the beginning likes to be noisy and crazy, the more eager to show maturity, the more childish she seems.Lolita wanted so much attention, so much to be happy and free, and yet her sorrow and her misery were silent, and she shed tears, more than Humbert.

The first time she cried was when she learned of her mother's death, and the second time because Humbert slapped her.

The strange thing is that such a wild girl is so quiet when she cries, she hides in her bed and cries, she screams to vent her hatred, even if she uses her anger to cover up her fear and sadness, she is unwilling to let the other party know that she is I shed tears.

Humbert said she cried every night, he said he regretted telling her mother, but had a sleepless night, and the next day he threatened her with sending Lolita to reformatory .

The old soul is still mourning, but the young Lolita is calm and terrifying. Even after three years, she will not exceed it, but she looks so decadent and mediocre. She looks like a strange woman, but she is not, she is Lolita, and she is the Lolita that the audience saw before.

She did not shed a single tear in front of the weeping Humbert, and was even able to comfort him.

It's just that she said, "Don't call me Lolita."

She is telling the audience, don't think of her as Lolita, she was not created by God for old men, she should have a normal life, a normal way of life.

But now she had settled down, returned to ordinary poverty, no more weird original ballets, no more messy willful attitudes.

She has finally grown up, but the price of this growth is too heavy, and it is not what she should bear at all.

This calmness in the face of suffering, and the indifference of revisiting the unbearable past are more touching than all the tears and sincere words. She used to be a disobedient daughter, a bad and extremely wrong lover, and now she is standing up. The mother of the belly is a wife who married someone else, but from the past to the present, she is still a young girl.

But her smile no longer had thrilling charm, her eyes no longer sparkled with exciting light, she just lost her normal life.

This silent but iron fact is Humbert's most powerful indictment, she broke Humbert, and she broke the audience, and the people's outburst of sympathy was for Lolita, not the most pitiful Humber special.

Humbert told the people who were watching the movie in the same tone that he confessed to the jury in court: "I know that killing people is a crime, but I can't do it. Lolita is my crime and my crime." soul, without her, I would rather die than take another ugly

soul. "

He stated affectionately, still torn between pleading guilty and exonerating.

"Snapped--!"

The cup fell to the floor with a loud noise, and someone found the body, and he ran out in a panic, maybe to call the police, or maybe to run for his life, whichever it was, Humbert didn't care.

He walked out of the room soaked in sinful blood in silence, and left in the car that once carried Lolita.

The siren of the police car sounded in the blue and sad background music, heralding Humbert's final fate, and then he uttered a final inner monologue: "Ladies and gentlemen, I plead guilty, but if I am the judge Myself, I would sentence Humbert to at least 35 years for rape and dismiss the rest of the charges."

At the end of the movie, the person who is most qualified to answer this question is flashed back. The young and vigorous Lolita, who is like the sun, is lying at the table. She is fighting with her mother and stubbornly refuses to go away. She holds herself high He clenched his bony fingers into a fist and slammed it heavily on the table.

"guilty!"

She shouted like this, innocent and firm.

"Bam—"

That was not the sound of fists hitting the table, but the sound of the hammer hitting the base.

The screen went dark, and the title of the film and the names of the behind-the-scenes lineup jumped out, which indicated that the movie was over, and the lights of the cinema were turned on, returning to the light.

After the movie was played, the audience in the theater did not leave immediately. Owen Gilberman stood up straight in his seat and fell into deep thought. He had already figured out how to write a movie review in his mind, and even couldn't wait to Take a pen and paper and write down all your thoughts.

It starts with gunshots representing crimes and ends with the sound of a gavel pronouncing crimes. This kind of subtle black humor is really ironic. Although this movie is also adapted in many places, it is similar to Nabokov's original work. The humorous and ironic correspondence in the novel is more vivid and pungent.

Ryan is not Kubrick, he is not good at exaggerated director techniques, and he has not tried those fields that are not suitable for him, but he maximizes the description and shooting of the lens language that he is good at, and he perfectly restores Naboko The relationship between aesthetic feeling and carnal desire in husband's works.

The actors are responsible for the interpretation, while the director has reflected her beauty flawlessly, perverted but full of vitality, different from others.

The script arranged by the screenwriter reasonably controlled Ryan's erotic performance, so Lolita's charm will not be so low that the dust becomes kitsch, and

She won't be so cold and reserved that she loses her tension, and everything she shows is explained in the movie.

The performance near the end of the scene has sublimated all the previous performances to a new level. The finishing touch made Owen dare to believe that she can really act, not that she has a character close to Lolita!

This is simply incredible.

Owen can't imagine what that means. At this age, this girl can naturally express the grief and indignation of suppressed pain, and the calmness and calmness after despair reaches the extreme, which is such a multi-layered experience for an experienced adult actor. Progressive acting skills are also extremely difficult.

The audience lamented her tragic fate and bleak life, and Owen was even more amazed at the talent shown by this newcomer who had never heard her name.

From the director to the screenwriter, to the leading actor Jeremy Irons, all set off to show Lolita's life and destiny. The protagonist of the story finally returned from Humbert to Lolita.

How charming she is when she shines, and how pitiful she is when she is dim.

"Lolita player, Rhea Noren."

After making sure that he had captured every letter in that line of text, Owen took back some of his forward leaning body and sat down again. No matter what impact this movie will have on this too young "natural actor", she This role deserves to be remembered.

It must also appear in his film reviews.

Owen looked around the cinema, and he reached a secret consensus in the eye exchange with those colleagues. No matter what kind of public opinion storm this will cause, as a literary film, "Lolita" is indeed remarkable. , at least Adrian Ryan definitely surpassed himself. After "Flash Dance", he can still hand over such a work, which is really surprising.

Jeremy Irons is becoming more and more proficient in playing the role of abnormal love. Owen doesn't know if this is a good thing for Jeremy, but it must be a good thing for "Lolita".

And that Stephen Schiffer, God, Owen didn't even know that this screenwriter could come up with such a rewriting method, if he wasn't careful, he would ruin the whole movie!

Owen also felt that the ending was too politically correct and redundant, "Lolita" is not a didactic novel, and the final criticism was too straightforward.

Since the movie chooses to treat the audience as a jury to tell the plot, it should be left to the audience to decide, instead of directly stating right or wrong.

but

Seeing Julie Anchar, a Fox executive, Owen felt clear again. In order to survive the censorship and criticism from major associations, this kind of modification and deletion should be a compromise policy made by the film company.

He watched the whole movie without any omissions, and he also prepared the manuscript, and he just waited to hand over a movie review when he went back. However, when Owen broke out of his thoughts, he found that there were still people sitting in the movie theater. less audience.

Unlike film critics who were specially invited, audiences usually leave after watching the movie, but there are still a large number of people who choose to stay. What are they thinking?

The only star present at this preview was Jeremy Irons, but he was not the kind of superstar who was super popular. Owen doubted the possibility that the audience would stay in the theater just to get his autograph. .

Excluding all possibilities, Owen can only think of the remaining reason-they are also thinking about this movie!

It is not because of the nature of the work of evaluating and scoring like film critics, they really have some feelings after watching this movie.

If a movie can make the audience walk in with the mentality of watching a movie for free, and then leave with thinking, then the movie has succeeded anyway.

Because "Lolita" made a deep impression on the first audience, which can prove its excellence more powerfully than any words of praise.

At this moment, Owen has already foreseen the bloodbath of this movie in the future. Perhaps this ending, which he considers to be a failure, can become the key point to reverse word of mouth.

Then he will be one of the first to write a film review. Thanks to the disapproval of his colleagues, Owen feels lucky that he came to Arena Cinema today.

"This one won't work!"

When the manuscript was returned, Owen Gilberman was not surprised, but he argued with the editor-in-chief: "This movie does touch on sensitive topics, but believe me, Ryan handled the controversy very well!"

"Then let's wait until the movie is released." The editor-in-chief of "Entertainment Weekly" did not dare to venture into this kind of issue at all, he is too aware of the power of public opinion, "Otherwise, once your movie review is published, you don't have to wait until the next day , my mailbox can be filled with complaints from readers.”

"It's okay to praise a movie about a murderer or a movie about rape, no matter how bizarre the story is, but a movie about pedophiles?" He looked at Owen cautiously, " Americans will drown it in their spittle, just

Even if "Lolita" is good enough to win an Oscar, we can't praise it in a singing tone in advance! "

"Wait until the movie is released to post a movie review? That's what the audience will do!" Owen made a last attempt, "Think about it, if everyone is afraid to try, then we will be the first to do so media, and this movie will definitely not disappoint."

"Really? Do you know how many people called and complained to Fox once the news that "Lolita" was going to be released?"

numerous!

Julie Anchar is going to be annoyed by the constant opposition. There are many people in the Fox company who are upset with her. When she proposed to let the "Lolita" be released this year, other executives said She put forward various objections, even if she agreed, it was completely opposite to her idea.

Some people even want to classify "Lolita" as NC-17, completely treating it as a large-scale three-level movie, while more people propose to sell the movie back to Europe.

The control and supervision of child protection in the United States is very strict, and public opinion will easily cause huge controversy because of pedophilia and child abuse crimes.

Even if they have seen the movie and know that it is not just a story about lust, they still worry about whether the audience who have not seen the movie will give "Lolita" a chance.

Whether the audience is willing or not, Julie Anchar must also make them willing. She needs a movie that can raise her status to a higher level. She voted for it at the ballot meeting for investing in "Brave Heart", But this is still not her project, she needs a movie that she is responsible for.

And she saw hope in "Lolita", and Julie dared to take risks.

Contrary to what most executives think, Julie Anchar wants to put "Lolita" in the R-rating. Even if she wants to delete all the beautiful and ambiguous scenes, she still wants to let most of the audience enter. Watch this movie in the cinema.

Controversy is better than nothing.

Literary films fail silently, but "Lolita" will definitely not happen. Julie Anchar is ambitious, and she also believes that this film will take over "Brave" The stick of "Heart", completed Fox's perfect curtain call in the second half of 95.

Only 35% of the executives agreed with her aggressive idea, and Jolie persuaded the remaining 15%, and more than half agreed with her, so the release plan of "Lolita" could go ahead.

Who's to say, those who know that a movie about a forbidden love affair between a girl and an old man will be released as soon as it is released?

Can't the complaint here be a publicity point?

In the more conservative and closed 60s, Kubrick could put "Lolita" on the screen and be successful, so why couldn't she do it?

"Do not."

On the TV set in the 90s, a middle-aged couple looked at each other and shook their heads hesitantly. The woman answered the microphone that was held out, "We will definitely not watch "Lolita", I don't know what they think Yes, I don’t know anything about art and literature, but let a little girl and an old man act in a love scene, or even a sex scene? Of course we have to refuse!”

A bored young man with a hood on answered the host's question: "It depends on the situation. If the movie is good, maybe I'll go and see it. If it's not good, of course I won't go."

"I don't know, I heard it's a very taboo subject." The two girls leaned together, and they smiled embarrassedly as they spoke: "Since they both said they can't go to see it, they probably won't go."

Putting the microphone back to his lips, the location host in a striped tie stood outside the Arena Cinema and reported: "The new version of "Lolita" will be released next Friday, and the Arena Cinema will not be the first to play "Lolita" The theaters of "Lolita" are different from the previous version of "Lolita" by Kubrick. There will be larger-scale shots in this movie. challenged the US film censors..."

"Boycott Lolita!"

"If you are against pedophiles, don't contribute to the box office for this movie!"

The camera lens scanned some scattered crowds. Although there were not many people, there were indeed several protest signs, which proved that the masses were indeed dissatisfied.

With a snap, the TV that was still playing was turned off, and May Parker mercilessly pressed the switch on the remote control.

"Mom, I haven't finished watching it yet!"

"There's nothing to see, let's play outside for a while, it's rare for you to stay in New York." Mei pulled Rhea off the sofa, "They haven't seen the movie, so they are not qualified to say that, obviously it is not what they said Something happened."

Rhea retorted slightly: "Strictly speaking, we haven't seen the movie, and we are also not qualified to comment."

Mei glared at her, "Riya!"

After having a nephew, Mei's attitude became much more aggressive. After feeling emotional for a while, Rhea obediently stood up.Originally, she was going home once a month, but Ben and May were worried that something was wrong with her.

Called her back this weekend.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the room, I haven't done my homework yet." Raising her hands in surrender, Rhea didn't stay in the living room anymore, but this didn't mean she gave up continuing to analyze this matter.

This is really interesting.

She didn't remember that the original Lolita caused such a big sensation in the United States. As a banned film, the film was delayed for more than four years before it was released in the United States. However, it was released in a hurry after "a few days tour", and the film even won some awards. They were all very low-key, and even those friendship encouragement awards might have come out of public relations.

Although Rhea knows that the film adaptation should be able to pass the American review, but whether it can be accepted by American audiences is another question.

No matter how good the PR is, it is difficult to perfectly grasp the psychological changes of the audience, so any hype may stumble, but a careless and unintentional move can become the hit of the year. This is the magical reality of the Internet age.

But it's still the twentieth century, the internet hasn't reached a tenth of its potential, and TV and movies are still more important.

If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't afford Julie Anchar's salary, Rhea would have wanted to ask her to be her publicist.

Following the direction of public opinion to promote a film, Rhea cannot guarantee that this is a correct decision until the effect is verified, but this is indeed bold and novel, and it is definitely a special publicity plan.

Only a movie like "Lolita" can have such a way of publicity.

Rhea didn't believe that the boycott of "Lolita" could become a piece of news that was published in newspapers and even appeared on TV programs without someone deliberately promoting it.

Either a competitor or yourself.

Maybe there are people involved on both sides...

But how can Fox be sure that "Lolita" can make a comeback before it creates a negative stereotype for the audience?Suppressing first and then raising can indeed achieve excellent results, but once the scolding is overdone, it cannot be reformed at all.

If any opponent stepped on it at this time, it would be even worse.

Rhea has some ideas, but her status is too light now. She is lucky to be able to change the script of "Lolita", and it is impossible to affect the follow-up operation at this stage.

What's more, part of "Lolita" now belongs to Fox, and Mario Caesar may not be able to comment on it.

She didn't know if it was André Witte's handwriting, which was like his style.

"Don't think too much, in the end, still

Of course, the quality of the movie is everything. "

Malloy called: "Entertainment Weekly published a review of "Lolita". Irving Gilberman gave the film 75 points, and he gave you [-] points!"

After the test screening, the first batch of movie reviews are finally out!

The author has something to say:

The heroine will not have a perfect personality, so controversy is not necessarily a bad thing.

Going to the altar is not interesting at the beginning, and the dungeon has to be upgraded slowly.

There is no second update.

Went out to dinner with her roommate, only to find her bike stolen three months ago in front of the restaurant, with her stickers and initials on it, what a miracle!We didn't wait for the prisoner. The bicycle was thrown there after the tire was worn out. There was no lock, so we took it back =. =

Can't tell if it's sad or happy...

But I hope you can also find the lost things~ Bixin.
