长篇影评
1 ) Space between what's wrong and right
One of the best Lesbian movies I have seen in a long time after Saving Face. If you are looking for something sensual then this is the movie for you, although the ending is probably not what you expect, there is an alternate ending on the DVD, which would probably suit most people.
I absolutely love the film. It is brilliantly cast, well-written and directed. Great chemistry of lead actors, and the tension is built up so well through the whole movie. And to top it all off, the music throughout the movie flows perfectly with the storyline and adds to the overall beauty and emotion of the film.
The film poses questions posed about Catholicism and Christianity's view on humanity, and gives us two extremes in how to see ourselves, as Circus sideshow material or living unfulfilled lives. I love how the student is the one doing the pursuing. Erin Kelly was magnetic as Annabelle. She looks real cool and mysterious. Her eyes are so capturing and powerful. I had to rewatch parts to get the deeper message. I loved the very relevant poetic references and other quotes in the film. The 35mm film looks glossy and the colors are crisp. The photography is just beautiful.
However, the ending was a bit short, leaves your imagination to run wild to come up with so many different possibilities of what could happen after the ending.
As said in the quote before the credits, "For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks". You gotta love Katherine Brooks. She's an absolute genious. Every moment in this movie gave me butterflies. Every time I watch it, I feel for the characters just that much more. Even though the ending was heartbreaking but it really reminds us how powerful love is, how people would rather go through so much pain just to love someone that is also considered taboo to many people.
The loneliness of both of Annabelle and Simone, tenderness, secret and shy touches, eye contacts, Catholic school context and broken taboo made of this film real experience to see it.
2 ) 《恋恋师生》lesbian纯洁的爱
看了《恋恋师生》,一部关于lesbian的电影,很纯很纯,有点童话的色彩。看完的感觉就像是,一阵倾盆大雨后的空气中弥漫着的泥土的清香,天虽然阴沉阴沉,但柔软的阳光却让人心情舒爽。看完后,我不禁想起了柏拉图说过得一句很经典的话:“世界上最纯洁的爱情是同志之间的爱情。”当然,我们的周围并不缺少纯洁的爱情,只是这种纯洁却缺少双方付出,或者说的夸张点就是牺牲吧。这种牺牲在同性之间的爱上发挥到极大,所以“同志间的爱”才让人感到深深地震撼。
女老师在回忆自己死去的初恋情人中努力地挣扎着,所以她回到和自己初恋情人共同成长的学校,去那儿教书。在那,她遇到了一个,一个叛离,刚强,早熟,同样在思恋自己初恋情人中挣扎,为了自己的爱义无反顾的女孩。女孩慢慢爱上老师,被老师的温柔,善良,优雅深深地吸引住,于是很大方地向老师坦白了爱意。老师很坚决地拒绝了女孩的爱,却不禁被女孩的身上所特有的魅力吸引住了,这似乎让她那颗因失去挚爱而落寞的心感到了一丝慰藉。就这样她俩在无意中,缩短了彼此的距离。也许是在海边,也许是女孩的莫一瞬间的眼神,也许是女孩的歌,反正是在我们没有察觉的莫一瞬间,老师也爱上了女孩。所谓的真爱,才会让人无法察觉它的到来吧。如果不爱却还要在一起,如果相爱却无法走到一起,是不是很痛苦,尤记得泰戈尔那句,世界上最远的距离,不是我不能说我爱你,而是想你痛彻心脾,却只能深埋心底。这可能映证了老师的内心独白。
一部看似很简单的电影却在平淡中讲述了不寻常的爱情,其实世界上的一切都很简单,复杂是人性的卑劣而导致的,真正的纯洁的东西是不需要任何大手笔和所谓的目的,自然地随心就好。我很喜欢纯粹这个词,但也许这个世界这个我们所生活的地方并不能容忍真正纯粹的人,但我们千万要记住不要忘记自己的真实地心意,不要忘记
“有些时候,我们也需要这样的影片,能够真正解读你的内心,能够让你在这个忙碌的季节里,静下心来,在电脑旁,伴着缕缕咖啡,静静地享受。 有些时候,我们也需要这样的影片,能够在这个情感穷途末路的时代,唤起你记忆深处那份甜美,不夹杂世俗,不添加无聊。 有些时候,我们也需要这样的影片。。。。。。”我们自己心中所一直追求地一片纯洁的天地。爱,同样如此。只有纯洁的爱才能打动我们的心扉。
而我只想说:“真心的永远都是最美的。”
3 ) all over me
打动老师的那首歌挺好听。
http://cdn1-18.projectplaylist.com/e1/static10/349/2453013.mp3歌词:
all over me
The space between what's wrong and right
You will find me waiting for you
All your fortresses go down in the night
To the dawn I'll see you through
Chorus:
Cause I know, that you know
You're all over me now
And it's clear, you will show
And your curtains will close
But if your heart is cold
My sheets are warm
I will shelter you through the storm
I will shelter you All through the storm
The answers aren't so easy to find
The questions are left to do
Cause I've lost myself deep in your eyes
My only fix is you
(Chorus)
Say what I am, what we are
It's a start torch the truth
Taking my breath with each delicate step in my heart
It's you...
The space between what's wrong and right
You will find me waiting for you
4 ) 错与对的咫尺之间,我会在那里等你
她给她的书的扉页,抄写着Marcel Proust的话 "The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes",和n年前顾城影响了一代人的诗句“黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛”颇有异曲同工之妙。自此始,有点distraction, 也有点感慨,想起你,想起一段时间以来自己的状态. Don't you know: You gave me new eyes so that I have start a new voyage of discovery, I see what I couldn't see before, I feel what I couldn't feel before, all that I experienced before are just preparation......Don't you know: I'm right here waiting......Don't you know: I can't get over you......
在错与对的咫尺之间,她们最终相拥,一夜缠绵后将是天涯咫尺的永久怀念,也许,依然胜过咫尺天涯的不能相爱......
At the end of this film, there is an song which I also want to sing to you:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Broken
You shut me down in shades of grey
That ricocheted into endless
Matter
Your lucid eyes expecting me to stay
You could not comprehend how shattered I was
I lie awake at night
And think about the golden rule of love
You’d better be prepared to pay the price
So look before you jump
Don’t look back…
baby, don't look back
baby, don't look back
Cause Love has broken you
Love has broken me
Invisible to naked eyes
But this euphoria can’t be mistaken
Cause I undress you in my mind
Kaleidoscopic images; all waken
There is no beginning, there is no end
Eternity is my new born friend
Vane green images and story eyes
Amazing grace with electro lines
Hey, could you do that again
Cause you feel me up time and time again
Never need to draw the line
These moments don’t need to be defined
I’m in a steady euphoria
If I told you the story
I’d bring you to your knees
Never knew what I was really missing
But now I do and I’d been digging press in.
Don’t look back….
Love has broken you
Love has broken me
5 ) 这个故事是有Happy ending的~
开头是Annabelle在便利店买东西,从发色可以看出,已经距离老师被带走过去了一些时日,她无意间看到了报纸上的新闻,“No Charges To Be Filed In Teacher Student Sex Scandal”,Simone被判无罪。
Annabelle看到新闻标题后会心一笑
Annabelle在去找Simone的路上,忍不住地笑
这一路上,有灿烂的阳光,有自由的风,一如当时一起去海边的那天
对,Annabelle就是去了海边,或许她的Simone就在海边的房子里等她,也或许她要去海边的房子里等Simone,Whatever,哪种都好~
师生恋在美国其实是很严重的指控,或许是为了舆论影响,导演在影片中留下了开放式的结局,但从Simone离开时坚定无畏的表情,Annabelle塞给她的佛珠,房间里残存的温情是那么真实,还有那爱意满满的照片就不难看出,两人的故事不会结束。
好在导演给了我们具像化的HE影像,发的这波糖,很甜~
奥地利诗人里尔克长诗里的节选,这段话总让我想起“情不知所起,一往而深。”
ps:曾经在洛杉矶待过一段时间,感觉电影里的海滩应该是马利布海滩 Malibu Beach
洛杉矶最北部的海滩,紧邻社会名流及好莱坞明星们居住的比弗利山庄。这里是明星们亲水、冲浪的专属海滩,所以也冠有“星光海滩”的光环。
6 ) 我也想要一段细腻的师生恋。
我原来没有想过les师生恋。我觉得很极致。
有一天做梦,梦见跟自己的老师了。
起来特别惊讶。还问了问自己是不是暗恋自己的老师。毕竟她真的很有才华。
然后我就很贱的百度了师生恋。
偶然看见了这个电影。
看完了一遍又一遍。觉得那种细腻真的很打动我。
每一个细节都把握的非常好。
这样一部佳作虽然看似无聊。但是只要你仔细看进去。
看她们细微的表情。体会她们的内心。就知道那是怎么一种心境。
我没有师生恋过。但是我知道天主教学校对于此的看法。
不是简单的想爱就爱之类的。
她们极力克制自己眼神和动作。
却有表现的淋漓尽致。
真的爱上一个人就是这样吧。
总是想吻对方,却一次次的错过。
这种错过使最后的高潮的让人大呼过瘾。
那吻隔了太久。
俩个人的心早就相爱了。那是怎样一种煎熬?
要是我呢?我是不是早就放弃了?
三个星期不说话的煎熬。
爱情啊,总是一个说不清道不明的事情。
我们所能做的。确实只有时刻准备着。
影片的前后呼应,让人感觉很窝心。
总觉得她们没有结束。
我下的版本后面还有花絮和删节的片段。
还有一个结局。
但是还是觉得没有完。
我始终相信幸福就在不远处。不远了。
但是为此我们依然会不计后果轰轰烈烈的与某一个人一见钟情。
于某一个人相爱。
老师内心的脆弱。在anna面前的哭泣。
都让人很心疼。
她到底抗下了多少?如果她嫁给了那个男人。
她又要藏下多少?
其实有好多人就那样跟一个不爱的人过了一生。
那到底每天有多少秘密。要永久的埋藏。
正视自己。
才会感觉轻松和愉悦吧。
anna总是那么从容。
她感动着她。感化着她。走出悲凉之地。
她看她的眼神永远不会因为她的回避所改变。
永远是那么执着。
她对她的试探适合而止。
那种感觉应该经历的吧。那样才完整的吧。
从来没有写过影评。只是觉得,很喜欢。
想给3星半吧!ALL OVER ME不错!
奇啦怪了,今儿看的几部电影都是同性恋题材
师生恋+天主教+同性恋。什么元素都掺一块了。
在les电影里也算很出名的电影了,还行~~
download the longer edition with the behind-the-scenes look and another ending;it's full of lust and temptation; vey beautiful landscape
够纠结够苦楚
喜欢
三星半吧。。比前几天看的炒饭好多了。
暧昧的光线,暧昧的配乐,暧昧的眼神,暧昧的碰触,暧昧的对白。
情感的处理很细腻,不过结局没看懂……
确实有一种温婉的情谊让人感动。三星半吧。
对老师眉间紧锁的愁云印象深刻,女孩细腻爱意绵绵的眼神很是打动人。喜欢那句:你的矜持将在夜晚褪去。ps:配乐如情事,妙不可言
在天主教学校搞les 真有胆识
刚开始就想到《蝴蝶》,为何结局被世俗所拆散啊?!不如《蝴蝶》美好。
Maedchen in Uniform的现代版本。小女孩眼神和《蝴蝶》里的田原如出一辙,大抵年轻清澈叛逆,便是如此。
细腻的表达,克制又隐忍。
The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new EYES. - Marcel Proust.
被你诱惑
很喜欢all over me, Annabelle唱的时候目不转睛,百看不厌。从拒绝到渴望到不逃避,老师的感情刻画的细腻感人。 据说当年Kathrine第一次在剧院撞见Erin Kelly, 对着还没有headshot的Erin劈头盖脸就是一句please tell me you are an actress! 七年长久的撰写与积蓄,才有最后的光芒.即使一瞬,也是美好。
不好不壞的結局最令人糾結了~
