The movie Lolita (1997)

[Edit this paragraph]

The plot of a play

[Edit this paragraph]

The story tells the story of an ambiguous relationship between a middle-aged man and an underage girl Lolita. Humbert is past middle age. He lives by teaching French in college. Since the death of his first love girl when he was young, he has always had a gentle and obscene nightmare in his heart. Those teenage girls have irresistible magic attraction to him. He hides this secret desire and only calls for those superficial and crazy spirits with trembling souls.

By chance, he became a tenant of Charlotte (Lolita's mother). He fell madly in love with Charlotte's daughter Lolita, who was only 14 years old. At the same time, Charlotte also took a fancy to humbert, bent on finding a backer for Lolita. In order to continue to live with Lolita, the spirit in her heart, humbert married Charlotte against her will. But Charlotte finally discovered humbert's infatuation with her daughter. An angry Charlotte rushed out of the house but was killed in a car accident. Humbert and Lolita began an incestuous love, and Lolita fled everywhere on the American highway ... until Lolita got bored and finally left him. Humbert, who lost the spirit of life, killed Lolita's kidnapper, kral Kunning, in despair and sadness.

Behind the scenes/tidbits

[Edit this paragraph]

1962, film geek Kubrick and his producer James B. Harris spent 1.5 million dollars to buy the copyright of Lolita, which was a considerable sum at that time. In the first draft of the screenplay, the screenwriter Caird Williamsham changed the ending of the story to humbert and Lolita finally get married in order to meet the standards of the film censorship board. But no one liked the ending, so Kubrick decided to be as loyal to the original as possible without violating the standards of the review Committee. An important compromise to the censorship board is that Lolita in the movie is older than 12 in the novel. Finally, the novel was adapted by Kubrick into the movie "A pear tree hits a begonia".

1962, movie master Kubrick put the novel on the screen. Today, this version is too conservative, but in the early 1960s, such a bold picture theme was still shocking, and pioneers such as non-meritorious deeds dared not eat this "crab".

Obviously, Kubrick regards this story as a "cartoon", so its theme is closer to ridicule and metaphor at the cultural level than sympathy and description at the individual level-he wants to show people the absurdity and absurdity of the characters. For example, the soundtrack of this movie is almost all bubble gum dance music, and the frivolous "Cha Cha" ... The whole movie is full of black humor, and its untimely "funny" even makes people wonder what Kudos is for. For example, there is a scene where humbert and a black waiter try their best to open a folding canvas bed. Its funny body language and interaction with the environment and props are reminiscent of Chaplin's bridge. Luo has gone to bed, and this bed that can't be opened has fulfilled humbert's wish (he can finally sleep with Luo justifiably). But unfortunately, this bed was subdued by the nosy black waiter-humbert's sexual attempt was frustrated and withered. The naughty black waiter made fun of poor humbert, not Kubrick.

Judging from the story, this version has many shortcomings. The biggest regret is that the film doesn't explain why humbert is so obsessed with Lolita, and Kuyt completely ignores the character Annabel in the original. It is said that a random clip of 150 minutes is enough to lay the psychological foundation for humbert when he was young, but the director seems to assume that the audience is familiar with the story, so he deleted the necessary "antecedents" and made humbert almost a psychopath from the beginning. But in fact, humbert in the novel once had an unforgettable first love-"I finally failed to keep a complete ending of my Annabel stage, perhaps because of the unsuccessful date at the beginning"-humbert as an adult always lingered in the beautiful feeling of innocence as a child, so when he first saw Lolita wearing a bikini and sunglasses to bathe in the sun and read a book on the grass, he was completely captured by her.

Secondly, the actor problem.

Choosing to play Professor humbert has experienced many twists and turns. James mason is the first choice for director Kubrick and producer James B. Harris. But because this gentleman is going to perform on Broadway, Cook has to consider laurence olivier. But the latter refused the role under the persuasion of his agent, so Ku turned to Peter Ustinov and was rejected. The producer recommended david niven again, but he agreed. But considering that his TV sponsor "Four-Star Theater" would oppose the decision, this fellow got cold feet. Finally, james mason finally made up her mind to quit the Broadway show and take part in the filming of Lolita. It's a pity that this "villain" who plays in the north-northwest always looks unhappy, and I've never seen him play humbert. The beginning of the movie is the end of the story: humbert shot Quilty. It is said that the publisher wants humbert to become a cold-blooded killer before the audience finds out that he is a pedophile, so that no one will sympathize with his experience (! )。

Peter Sellers plays Quilty, a charming and dangerous TV writer. You may wonder why I mentioned him for the second time, which is exactly what I want to ask Kubrick. Because in the film, even if the role of the host is not usurped, the character is at least equal to humbert-so that the new director Adrian Lynn laughed and said that the film should be renamed Quilty. He has too many scenes, one is a TV screenwriter, one is a plainclothes policeman, one is a German psychiatrist, and the other is a playboy who kidnapped Lolita. He worked tirelessly with humbert like a chameleon and stuttered like a rapper. Maybe what Ku means is that he and humbert are two sides of the same coin, a gentleman, a villain, an open gun in the back, a senior British intellectual and a low-level American traitor. However, Cyrus was really outstanding in acting, which was even more incisive in the later Dr. Strange Love.

As for Lolita, the stunner of angel and devil, she is only 12 years old in the book (! ), and her actor Sue Lyons was 14 (the movie 196 1 was 15 at the premiere and didn't attend; It was not until 1962 that he was allowed to enter the stadium. Judging from today's aesthetics, he does not have the quality of a "leprechaun". Although there is nothing wrong with it, it always lacks that "fatal" attraction. It is believed that because the film grading system has not been implemented, Kuyt must handle sex scenes carefully to avoid being banned. In fact, there is no "adult" lens in the film, which undoubtedly gives Lolita a skill and no place to use it. Suppose Kubrick made this film by 1999, it must be really an eye-opener.

Shelley winters plays Charlotte Hayes, Lolita's mother, a tragic figure with comedy, vulgar, affectionate, sensitive and neurotic.

In short, Kuyt did not pour (I think) due sympathy or understanding into the characters and lacked a sense of tragedy. Although it was written by everyone, I still ignored many techniques in the film. Moreover, you will find that this movie is as suspenseful as Kirk in West Side, such as humbert's psychological activities when he plans to murder Hayes, Quilty's anonymous phone calls and follow-up, especially when he turns his back on humbert in the hotel. And the car chase scene on the highway are the essence of West Cork, which makes the whole movie quite "entertaining"-but you know what "entertaining" means in Kubrick's movie.

1997, adrian lyne, an American director who made TV commercials, remake Lolita and released it in Europe. Compared with 30 years ago, this version is undoubtedly more "wild" and more faithful to the original. Especially the description of the sexual relationship between the hero and heroine can be described as "naked". After all, he is the director of Nine Weeks, and the overall atmosphere of the film is quite "soft-core" pornography.

China fans should be familiar with Adrian Lynn's styles, such as Nine Weeks, Fatal Temptation, Immoral Trading, etc., which have appeared in D City for a long time. It is characterized by strong lust and insufficient ideological depth, and has been entangled in the relationship between men and women in love, an upper-middle bourgeoisie. When he released the rumor that he was going to remake Lolita, many comments immediately responded that it was "terrible", but Lynn was unmoved and just re-edited it after the filming to comply with the strict anti-child pornography law in the United States (this law took the Tin Drum to court). However, it was followed by a red light in domestic cinemas. Although the director's film title is very bright, the film's cast is strong, and the overseas box office is also very successful, but no American distributor is willing to touch this hot potato, because the incest theme in American society can be described as a street mouse, so the film was finally released first on the cable TV network "Showtime". Fortunately, Samuel Goldwyn Company paid a high price for the cinema screening rights of this film, and started a small-scale partial screening on September 25th, 1998. After a long wait of nearly two years, the American audience can finally see its true face.

Technically, these two films are not what they used to be. The new version of Howard Atherton is great, with exquisite lighting and costumes. The soundtrack also invited ennio morricone, a master figure who has been galloping for many years, to echo each other and render gloomy, desperate and gloomy emotions to the fullest. The film budget is as high as $56 million, which shows Lynn's ambition to reshape the classics.

Especially commendable is Professor humbert played by Jeremy Irons, whose devastating anti-hero image is definitely better than that of James Mason. In addition, the tape version of the novel was read by irons himself, but it's a pity that domestic fans didn't recognize his murder voice.

Lolita, played by dominique swain, is a 15-year-old girl who stands out from more than 2,500 contestants. At that time, she was still a middle school student and had no previous performance experience. It is bathed in sunlight and water droplets splashed by sprinklers. Reading on the lawn is a classic eroticism. In the future, she will also play john travolta's daughter-another Lolita image in John Woo's Two Heroes.

Melanie griffith and Frank Langella play Hayes and Quilty respectively.

In a word, the two directors have diametrically opposite attitudes towards the same subject. The former is satirical black humor, and the latter is black goth with empathy. It must be admitted that the latter is more exciting than the former and has an irresistible momentum of emotional agitation. Perhaps it is a preconceived influence (the new version has been released on vcd for a long time). I think the 1997 version is original, full of characters and exquisite in all aspects. Although the slanderous version of Kubrick is suspected of being a traitor, I still insist that the new version is better.

Note: Samuel Goldwyn (1882- 1974), an American Polish film producer, founded his own film company in 19 17, and in 1925, he merged with Louis Bi Meyer to form MGM (.

1997, Lolita's story was made into a movie for the second time. Lolita has become more vivid, brighter and more charming, but the artistic conception has also become shallow, and love is empty, leaving only lust.

In 2005, Lolita appeared on the screen again. In the film "Love, Stop Looking" at Cannes Film Festival, American director Jia arranged a 2 1 year-old female star AlexisDziena to play Lolita.
