This is Humber's opening remarks in Lolita.
? Watching the whole Lolita, I always see Lolita's innocence and charm, Humber's silent face and desperate eyes, and the old station wagon that keeps drifting from one place to another, trying aimlessly to stay away from the crowd and morality. Unfortunately, they are destined to stay away from this world and can't find a world that belongs to them …
? While watching this movie, I kept thinking, does Humber love Lolita? How much love? What does Lolita mean to Humber? What would it be like without the pure and beautiful love that died as a teenager?
? Adrian lyne, the director, has a good command of film language, which is aesthetic and seamless, but not limited to aestheticism, calm appearance and surging heart. Always so relaxed. The ambiguous details of nondescript love are very delicate and touching, and the picture is full of sense. This is a gift, not so studious, just like a person standing in the sky.
? The director tried to look at this deformed love from an aesthetic point of view. The most beautiful scene of the film appeared in the first meeting between Humber and Lolita in middle age. In the early morning sunshine, the spray of water mist, and the green lawn, Humber saw Lolita lying on the lawn reading a magazine, shaking her feet leisurely in the air in the sunshine, and her thin skirt was wet with water mist, which set off her plump and perfect figure curve and made her heart thump with the pure beauty of youthful tension. I started my own will, but I resigned to the point of no return.
? I really sympathize with Humber, a middle-aged man. As he himself said, "Without Anne in front, there would be no Lolita behind." The love of youth is the most beautiful fossil in his heart, which he will cherish forever. However, when he met Lolita, the beautiful fossil in Humber's heart came back to life, like a bouquet of poppies, emitting intoxicating fragrance and blooming in his middle-aged body, which made him turn his back. But it also carries a toxin similar to poppy. Let him indulge in it. The lost time can't go back. In the end, what people see is just an old teenager, in vain, desperate for love. After sighing, people feel that kind of deep depressed helplessness. ...
? Humber's love for Lolita is complicated, but there is no doubt that he loves her. As he himself said, "Lolita, the light of my life, the fire of my desire. My sin, my soul. He is willing to give his all for this abnormal love. But he also used love as an excuse for being selfish, controlling, narrow-minded and dark inside. He always tries to control Lolita to take the initiative in this love. But he has always been passive because he loves it very much.
? Humber always wants to know Lolita's movements, where she has been and who she is with. Love makes his heart selfish and sensitive. But he couldn't help asking. At first, Lolita's mother died in a car accident. Humber went to the summer camp to pick up Lolita. Lolita is not at home. She went to play with Charlie. He kept asking the teacher, who is Charlie? Transferring Lolita to another school, about the third' date' in the school, also made him feel uneasy. He didn't want Lolita to rehearse the play, so Lolita skipped the piano class. He'll ask where she went. Lolita said that she went to rehearse the play with her female classmates, and he would call to check. After verification, he suspected that they were colluding with each other. Finally, it led to a fierce quarrel and hit Lolita. He left no room for love, and all he brought to Lolita was suffocation and constant desire to escape.
? Finally, at a station where they wandered, Lolita took Humber out to buy bananas and followed her favorite Quidditch. After he came back, Humber vented his repressed anger and helpless despair on Lolita hysterically, begging Lolita to tell him who that person was again and again, and finally got Lolita's silence and a stern, twisted and crazy smile. It's hard to see this, and the cruel reality of abnormal love is naked in front of you.
? Happiness is like sand, the tighter you hold it, the more you lose …
? Humber's love for Lolita is beyond doubt, but it is too selfish, too narrow and too dark. I always wanted to tie Lolita to myself for fear that she would be cheated by others, but I didn't straighten out my relationship with Lolita in the end. Neither fish nor fowl relationship. The relationship between love and desire. Stepfather? Lover? Couple? It's nothing. I have never looked at this matter from Lolita's point of view and put myself in Lolita's shoes. Lolita will grow up eventually. Love her and give her the happiness she wants?
? After seeing Lolita leave, I have been thinking that if there is no pregnant letter waiting for help. Will it be a relief for Humber? The answer is no, when he went to see Lolita, he still said something to get Lolita out of that 25 yards.
? When Humber was about to leave, in the soothing piano music, he also said his inner monologue, "Look at her, look at it over and over again. For living. Heart and soul. I must love him the most. I am sure that, just like death … the former flower demon … can wither and wither. But I only took one look, and all the tenderness welled up in my heart ... ". I think every audience should feel Humber's love for Lolita when they hear such words. Love so deeply, so firmly, and so wishful thinking. Indeed, loving someone is your own business, and everyone has the right to love, which has nothing to do with age, identity or even the person you love. But in this abnormal love, has Humber ever been warm? Although in the film, Humber received Lolita at the summer camp after his wife died. If my happiness can be expressed, the whole hotel will be deafening. On the trip, while playing tennis, he thought, "despite our arguments, despite all kinds of trivial matters, despite danger and despair ... nevertheless, I think I live in heaven." This paradise, although stained with the color of hell flame ... is heaven after all. " But these are just objective desire possession, which brings him subjective happiness, and does not really bring inner warmth and tranquility. Does Lolita belong to him physically and mentally? Or does Lolita love him? When I finally met Lolita, Lolita said, "I might as well go to Quetta with you ..." Then she left. "Goodbye, father." All these made Humber, a middle-aged man, completely desperate and drowned him easily. A twitching silent face and desperate and helpless eyes. This is also the most sad and powerless place for him.
? Until he killed Lolita, he didn't love Lolita, but he desecrated Lolita's quidditch. Surrounded by the police on a slope, looking at the sky alone. Listening to the laughter of children in the distance. Then I realized, "I heard the children laughing. What makes me disheartened is not that there is no Lolita around me, but that there is no Lolita in laughter. " At this moment, he was sad not because he didn't tie Lolita to his side, but because he didn't make Lolita happy ... Only in this way can he really know how to love.
? Lolita is a child who grew up in a single-parent family, and she is also a contradiction. Sweet simplicity and indulgent charm. Strange and unrestrained. Lolita lives a very self-centered life. She is the quiet one in bud, the one who plays tricks on others, the lively and fragrant one, and the one who goes her own way on that rainy night. There is also a desire to know everything.
? When Humber took her to the hotel for the first time and faced the double bed, Humber explained that she could not speak. She said easily, "I will commit incest, but I know what will happen, but I have no scruples." She just asked Humber to satisfy her adolescent novelty and curiosity about sex, and she continued to live a carefree life. She had seduced Humber, relied on him, and had a crush on lust, but she just didn't love him from beginning to end. After Lolita's mother died, she had no one to rely on. For her, her relationship with Humber hovers between her stepfather and her lover. As a lover, Lolita will be very enthusiastic. She and Humber asked to perform for him for the first time. With a youthful and ignorant desire, it has nothing to do with love. As a daughter, she needs material security. She has nothing to rely on in this world except this stepfather lover. You can even get an extra dollar of pocket money for a week. But Lolita will grow up eventually, and she will yearn for her own life. Study, fall in love and make friends. A free life. Humber's possessiveness is a suffocating bondage to her, and her desire to escape is increasing with restraint and doubt, anxiety and uneasiness. Until the edge of division. Lolita disappeared. ...
? Humber's love in Lolita comes from inner sincerity, but it shows an out-of-control infatuation and possessiveness. And from beginning to end, I didn't personally face my love, but selfish and narrow escape, from one city to another, from the crowd, from the real world. Escape to your own wishful two-person world …
? He is also a sad figure. In order to pursue the long-lost love, he let love and despair go deep into his soul, persevering and wishful thinking, but did not go home. I didn't understand until love broke. "Love does not possess her, but makes her happy."
? Love is nothing more than right and wrong. It has nothing to do with morality, but has different forms. A line in Lolita is well said: "God knows everything, knows everything and forgives everything."
? A sad and abnormal love, a love nightmare. Humber and Lolita in everyone's mind.
? I hope love can bring us warmth and inner peace.
"I heard the children's laughter, and I was disheartened not because there was no Lolita around me, but because there was no Lolita in the laughter."
This is Humber's monologue at the end of Lolita.
