Chapter 54 Is there any motive

The movie resource uploaded by his friend was deleted, he spoke angrily, and seriously warned the administrator: It is the new film of the famous director Lars von Trier, which was selected for the Cannes Film Festival, and it is a tribute to Tarkovs. Congratulations to the work! Of course, if it was the work of Kaede Matsushima or Sora Aoi, he would not dare to make such a publicity. His confidence comes from Lars von Trier and Cannes, although the film is no bigger than the adult film in terms of scale. Inferior, even more exciting than adult movies because of the degree of relaxation, but it will never be classified in the field of adult movies, not just because of Cannes and Tarkovsky, but because it is a series of behaviors of the protagonist A motive is provided: the loss of a child.

Whether to give motivation, whether to give moral reasons for watching, is the dividing line between whether a movie with the scale of adult movies can be pardoned, and whether it can stand in the ranks of art movies.Licentiousness is like "The World of the Senses", which gives the motivation. After the day and night hand-to-hand combat, the hero is walking on the street, and suddenly a group of soldiers walks in front of him, with neat steps and expressionless faces, holding the urn of the fallen soldiers in his hands. The hero retreated silently to the eaves, waiting for the soldiers to walk over.Here, Nagisa Oshima gave the motivation, which is the cruelty of the big era, which prompted them to retreat to the house to have fun day and night; the violence is like the French version of "City of Sadness", which gave the motivation, although it is an adult actress, although The imagery is rough and bold, but the whole film has revenge as a motive and social condemnation as a justification; Tinto Ballas' "Caligula" also gives a motive, albeit a hidden one, yes, all the lewd scenes , is to flog Caligula’s cruelty, and he was killed in the end, which is also part of this motive; Shaw’s Fengyue films also give motives, and the endings are usually like a warning to the world, so that the protagonist who is greedy for pleasure Distressed or ridiculed.

The best way to get a film to be erotic is to properly discard the motive.Director Au Dingping's film "The Dance of Orioles" is based on the theme of Tangxi Fengyue in Hong Kong in the 1930s. Although the scale of nudity is limited, some passages in it have a special fragrance.For example, the prostitutes played by Rosamund Kwan and Li Zhi are socializing in the front hall. The camera suddenly changes, interspersed with a clip of an unnamed girl and her benefactor, accompanied by chaotic music, and then she half-covers her breasts Stand up, and then, the camera returns to the protagonist.Those paragraphs, there is no reason at all.

Umberto Eco's "The Truth About Porn Films" has a famous line: "You go to the cinema to see a movie, and if the character takes more time than you want to get from point A to point B, then you're not going to see it." That movie is porn.” Actually, what makes porn porn porn is that they don’t give porn a motivation and a reason to watch it. Whether to give motivation or not is the difference between adult movies and art movies, and the difference between underground massacre movies in Eastern Europe and violent movies that are regarded as classics.What is shown to the public, what is put on the stage, must be motivated, and the reason "why they are like this" must be given.People can't afford pornography and violence without motivation and reason, and they can't find a moral reason to watch it.

The narrative part of the film may be a motivation for a reasonable and moderate viewing of pornography and violence.The artist, perhaps the female luthier playing the piano in "120 Days of Sodom" when the atrocities happened, used art to soften the surly world.
