Brief introduction of film

Joseph Rubin, the director, created a shocking pervert in daily moral films, and Terry O 'Quinn, the leading actor, also played it with great devotion, thus creating a rather thrilling atmosphere. The story describes a middle-aged man who tries to pursue a perfect family life. After the murder, he married a widow in another town under a false identity. His seemingly polite image was loved by his new wife, but his daughter found all kinds of signs of her stepfather's insanity, which led to a new massacre. He is like a big boy himself, but he insists on being a stepfather. After his wife died, he comforted his stepdaughter in a decent way, but when a girl wanted to have sex with him, he immediately pushed her away like a scorpion. He has no adult personality at all. Girls are trying to be adults, but they are childish everywhere. ...

Film background

Stepfather was completed in 198 1, and Brill, who is in the middle of writing, seems to be in a transitional stage. This film has neither the softness and rigidity in the previous film Take out Your Handkerchief nor the absurdity and boldness in the later film Thanks for Life, and it belongs to one of the rather "powerless" works. Although there are many embarrassing (even ridiculous) scenes between stepfather and daughter in the film, Breier did not bring in his consistent subversion and ridicule of marriage ethics, and it is even difficult to see his value judgment and moral stance on the so-called "love between fish and birds". Everything seems so vague and uncertain, as if this is a love story that doesn't need public judgment. The only thing emphasized in the film is a sense of fatalism (the end of the cycle). This closed approach almost eliminates the necessity and possibility of all criticism-this father, when he forms a family with a woman again, watches him and waits for him, but he is still a young "daughter". It is very important to pay attention to the interaction between stepfather and daughter in the film. First of all, "father" (male) is not the initiator of this "love between fish and birds". Even in the early days of things, he was passive defense, and the seemingly innocent daughter was the real "attacker". She mastered the rhythm of "capture" and "vertical" almost from beginning to end, and it is at this point that she is like Lolita. She is gentle, greedy, simple and painful-I even believe that she and he both love more than desire.

Brief introduction of the author

1974, breyer adapted his novel of the same name, filmed Where to Go, and established his own film style: mocking the poor who thought the social system had changed after the May storm of 1968, and lashing the traditional patriarchal society. The war between men and women caused by men's incompetence and women's attack has become an important theme in breyer's works, and the ending is often the failure and departure of men. For example, in "Prepare Vos Mouchoris" (1978), the two leading men try their best to win the favor of beautiful women; In Notre Dame (1984), alain delon indulged in alcohol to dream of his ideal goddess of creation; Two leading men in evening dresses (TENUE DE SOIREE, 1986) finally left the woman they were chasing, fell in love and lived together. Brill is a sharp cynic. He does not hesitate to dig the world with fierce incitement, cynicism and even absurdity. MERCI LA VIE (199 1) is a hodgepodge of Britz style, and its satire on politics, war, society and love even reaches a grotesque level.

Actor introduction

Playing "Stepfather" Remy is the French actor Patrick Duval who died young. He and the famous French movie star Gerard Depardieu are also called Breier's two great lovers. The waltz dancer, which brought Brill international fame, also laid a solid foundation for the two actors who cooperated for the first time. Their "iron triangle" combination continues again in "Take out your handkerchief", which is a classic. Duval's most popular role is light comedy. But this Aquarius is naturally melancholy and always plays the image of some miserable losers and marginal people. Only one year after the completion of Love between Fish and Birds, he shot himself in a hotel in Paris at the age of 35.

Film appreciation

First of all, Remy is a piano player and works in a luxury hotel. The towering hotel is full of ideas from the upper class in Paris. No matter Montreal, Zurich or other places, there are the same Americans, Japanese and Saudis everywhere, with the same tired eyes. Remy can play anything, Gershwin, Chopin and Tatem. The guests can't hear much noise. The atmosphere should be quiet and soft, so he played old Bud Powell's music for himself. He wants to be famous at the age of 30. He is now 29 and a half years old. He still has six months. He earns 250 francs a night, excluding dinner, which makes him very satisfied. The only worry is that he has just been hired and is not allowed to be late. At midnight, it became deserted here. But in the end, there is always a loving old couple to stay. While his fingers were playing the keys, others were drinking champagne. Perhaps, he is also in love and sad. His wife is still waiting for him, or not-because she has left, or will leave. Remy and Martin lived together for eight years, but rarely together. One day, she died in a car accident. At noon that day, Marlene came home from school. "The school lunch is not good-you look strange. Why? " "No, it doesn't matter." "Did you fight again?" Remy looked up. "I have a lot of homework." She got up and picked up her schoolbag. She went back to her room and played soft music. She borrowed a pen and a piece of paper from her. She wrote on the sofa, "My little Marlene, I have some bad news for you. Because I didn't have the courage to say it, I wrote it on paper. This is the only way. Listen, you will find that some things in life are too tragic. " Being with you will help you heal your wounds. You are my daughter. -Something happened to your mother. "He walked out of the house gently, picked up the basket and went to the grocery store. Later, they cried bitterly. She said she didn't want to go back to her father. She wanted to be with Remy. That night, Remy found her father, Charlie, a bar owner. He wants her back. So Remy sent her away. Charlie is rich. I will take better care of her. Third, after that, Remy spent all day in a friend's newsstand, not thinking about tea and rice. Finally, one night, she rang the doorbell. Little Marlene came back with two bags of luggage. She said, "I'll move back in with you." He said, "You're crazy." Then she hugged each other tightly. Charlie came back angry. Take away your runaway daughter. They scuffled. But in the end, they sat together, and little Marlene took medicine for their two fathers. "I will take good care of her like my own daughter. "In order to make a living, she went to be a nanny after school, and he taught the piano. In the evening, they get together to play happy jazz. Fourth, Marlene 14 years old, but older than her peers. She tried her best to sleep with him, so Remy had to stay late at a friend's house. I didn't expect that one day she would lie naked on the bed in the bedroom and wait for him. She would break into Dickens' room in her pajamas and lie down next to Remy. He can read newspapers, and she can. She will clumsily show her breasts, and when she touches them gently, she will react. " "I am already a woman," she said. When I am near you, my heart beats faster, my throat is thirsty, and there seems to be a heat wave in my heart ... "Indeed, Marlene is more than most girls. Liu Haier covered her smooth forehead. Her eyes are big, simple and melancholy, like a princess. Her lips are full and expressive like chords. She is the most beautiful. Her skin is smooth and she is tall. Now, her body has begun to have a subtle curve, quietly blooming under the cover of a wide shirt, but she is his daughter after all. Only 14 years old. Poor Marlene seems to be suffering from depression. The doctor suggested "changing the environment". So Charlie arranged for her to go skiing. Remy had to put her in the train car and he gave her a real kiss. Remy borrowed a friend's car and arrived at the ski resort the day after Christmas Eve. She pushed open the window on the second floor of the hotel, still wearing that big white pajamas, and waved to him happily. She added when she ran down. Why? " "make love." "What would Martin think if she saw us like this?" "She will think her daughter is very lucky. "Sixth, after Marlene came back, everything didn't get better. Remy moved to a shabby and damp house because she changed her job and didn't rent her old apartment to them. Besides, Remy regrets what she did in the hotel. He wants to write her regrets on his face. But they had sex anyway. Like two people just out of the desert. 7. Soon, Remy met Charlotte. She is a real woman, mature and charming. When she smiles, her eyes and lips will bend into a crescent moon, which is very charming. Marlene works as a nanny in her house. One day, Xia's daughter Nathalie caught a cold. Marlene was at a loss and called Remy. So Remy called the doctor. Borrow money to buy medicine. The next day, Remy made an excuse to see Natalie's illness, hesitated at the door and rang the doorbell. His heart no longer belongs to Marlene. Marlene took her luggage and went to find her father Charlie. Remy ran to Charlotte's house and hugged her tightly. She sighed happily, "believe me, I will heal your wound ..." Eight, at this moment, Natalie appeared at the door of the bedroom. She was as lovely as Marlene when she was a child. I wonder what she was like when she was 14.

Film evaluation

The theme of this film is bold, facing up to pedophilia+neither fish nor fowl, even further than Kubrick's Lolita. However, it is obviously not enough to focus only on shallow stories. To further understand this film, it is essential to know the director and actors. Bertrand breyer is an outstanding French film director who rose in the 1970s and is also a cynical master of black humor. His works are unique in style and full of postmodernism.
