Weekend, let's have some fun !! Yep, I am gonna talk about movies today.
It appears to me that movies named after a person usually turn out to be realistic and impressive, Forrest Gump (1994), Lolita (1997), Juno (2007), and a lot more.
So this is lolita.
Adapted from the novel <Lolita> (1955) by Vladimir Nabokov, Russian-American novelist, in 1997, the movie was once banned for ethic sake. For god-knows-the-reasons, it afterwards became a hit sweeping across the globe and made the name of Lolita, and its author. Now Lolita is the equivalence of a dirty girl under 14. Ok, cut the crap, go to the movie.
Middle-aged Professor Humbert came to America and lodged into a house of a widow, however he fell in love with the daughter Lolita at first sight, who was just a little girl aged 12. To stay with lolita he even married the widow who also had a crush on him. Ridiculous?!? Yes, that's why the movie was first banned, cuz it corssed the line of ethic, the social norm of humanity. Hegel said, "what is actual is rational"(存在就是合理的). Look back to the childhood of Humber, he lost his beloved girlfriend at his young age, the more he loves her, the more he can't get over her and try to find a substitute in his life -- a little girl like Lolita.
The mother died in a car accident, and Humber had to take over lolita's life, as a father and a one-sided admirer. He took very good care of her, yet he hated her hanging out with any mate. He had a fear inside to see her grown up, and lose her someday. However what he feared so bad finally came... Lolita met someone and got pregnant.
Lolita asked her step-father humber for financial assistant 3 years after her away from home, humber gave her all he had, when he learned that she lived alone. His heart was bleeding.
He then killed the guy who hurt her...
Wow.... wow is right.
You might feel sick of incest and honestly I really do. In this movie legally we call it incest, but virtually they are from different kin, so here the point is not the relation of father and daughter, it's his abnormal act of falling in love with a child, who is not yet physically and psychologically developed.
Is it sth like homosex? It's nothing about good or bad, it's about personal sexual preference. Who is to blame?
Arguments over ethic never ends, and we get different answers as time goes by.
BTW, the movie Juno is worth watching, too. Guess what is the equivalence to Juno, u 'll get the answer.
