<b>In the</b> creation of films, only when the image or personality of the characters can collide and spark, will it create a rich dramatic tension and bring the audience an infection that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Among the many types of character combinations on the screen, the combination of uncle and Lori is particularly wonderful, there are water and fire differences between them, but they can produce the effect of water and fire.
"Lolita" once originated from the Novel "Lolita" by the Russian-American writer Nabokov, and later extended to become a subculture of clothing in Japan, describing the classical court-style clothing worn by young girls, and thus referring to those sweet and beautiful, cute and cute little girls, which became a popular fashion. And "uncle" is undoubtedly the name of a person according to age, they are middle-aged, have experienced the tempering of life, showed a strong mature charm, steady and gentlemanly, but also often pessimistic and lost.
For the sake of narrative and character shaping, the film creators like to use the combination of "Lolita" and "Uncle", because their external differences and internal complementarities have great room for expression. In these films, it is often a middle-aged male star with a little beauty who has just debuted, they either talk about love, or risk hand in hand, or heal each other, which can be described as the coexistence of appearance and connotation, and true love and wrongdoers. No matter which character the audience projects their emotions onto, they can get a new and moving aesthetic pleasure.
Now we may wish to use the seven keywords of sweetness, healing, ambiguity, adventure, killing, taboo, and redemption to outline the encounters, get along and fight between those uncles and Lolita, and relive those uncle Lolita who are classics on the screen.
<b>The sweetness of the key word: love across time</b>
The love between Lori and her uncle, in psychology, has a term called "Elektra complex", which indicates that the girl's attachment to her father, the feeling of liking to be with her father, and when she is in love, she will unconsciously choose a man with a similar personality to her father.
In the Italian movie "Mature Man, I Love You", the 37-year-old creative director met a 17-year-old high school girl because of a crash, and although the plot was somewhat cheesy, it did not affect the moving story itself. Mature men can forgive the recklessness, cruelty and mistakes of the little girl, and if he is handsome, it is invulnerable. At the same time, the little girl also became the source of inspiration for his creation, stimulating his dull and regular life for many years. Her long flowing hair and sweet little dimples melted a lot of the past that he thought he could not abandon, so that the love affair he met eventually became a long-term dependent.
<b>The sweetness of Uncle Lori's love has caused countless young girls to suffer from "uncle control"</b>
Uncle and Lori are never bored when they talk about love, they are always funny and noisy, but they will not really break up. Because Little Lori has the boyishness that her age should have, but she always likes to pretend to be mature, and mature men will also become cute in being ridiculed, which just complements each other. For example, in the film "My Wife Is Enough to Weigh" starring Zheng Yijian and Cai Zhuoyan, Ghost Horse's Yoyo has a cheerful and lively personality, willful and brutal, and zhang thirteen is "played with applause", and he is calculated in many things, but it cannot hide the subconscious good feelings of the two people. When they have experienced many changes and calmed down to think about it, they find that they are most suitable for each other.
Of course, there is no shortage of sadness and tears in this love combination, in the Korean movie "Uncle Long Legs", Yingmei has been looking for the long-legged uncle who has secretly taken care of his life for many years, but finally found that he was behind her. As soon as she looked back, she could see. But it was too late for her to turn back, he was dying, and only the memories remained in their letters and in her heart.
When love crosses time and fills the gap of age, the embrace of uncle and Lori is no longer a strange thing that is sideways by the world, they will have a sweetness that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and finally transform into charm on the screen.
<b>The healing of the key word: father-daughter warmth defeats the misfortune of life</b>
Anyone who is in a state of misery, once he sees The innocent face of Little Lori, will give birth to endless pity, and the sorrow in his heart will be more than half dissolved. And the uncle family, who are often used as the "strange" word as a definite modifier, is more difficult to resist the sunshine elixir of Little Lolita, and it is also stimulated to the feelings of normal people. There is a strong father-daughter relationship, and there is also a selfless love between strangers.
The true affection between father and daughter is enough to dispel all the gloom in the world
The Korean movies "The Gift of Room Seven" and "Suyuan" are both tear-jerking family films, and in the double destruction of body and spirit, it is the father-daughter relationship that heals the wounded soul. The father in "The Gift of Room Seven" is mentally retarded, but he is full of happiness with his lovely daughter. The father accidentally got involved in a seduction case while buying a school bag for his daughter and was thrown into a cell, and in this room, he infected the real criminals around him with his innocence and kindness, becoming their spiritual "gift", and his daughter was also a "gift" for him to maintain his enthusiasm for life. Similarly, in "Suyuan", the little girl who was sexually assaulted gradually came out of the psychological haze because of her father's meticulous love, and her father also realized the true meaning of being a father in the process.
If we go back, we will find that the story and character structure of "The Gift of Room Seven" are reproduced from the American movie "Different Father", which also tells the warmth between a mentally disabled father and Little Lori's daughter. When her daughter found that her father could not understand some slightly more complicated things, she also refused to grow up, hoping to be the same as her father. The uncles in these movies, who play both father and friend roles, have unfortunately lived in physical defects, but they are lucky to have the lovely Lori with them.
In contrast, the Japanese movie "White Rabbit Candy" is more sunny and warm, no longer clinging to the sadness of physical pain, but more than a little bit of the beauty of strangers comforting each other. When daeji, an office worker, was attending his grandfather's funeral, he found that his grandfather had a 6-year-old illegitimate daughter, Shikaga Rin, who was unattended, and took her back to Tokyo to raise her. In the long-term relationship, Daji's bachelor life has changed a lot, and Shikaga Rin has gradually opened his heart to him. Although they are relatives of the aunt and nephew, in fact, it is more of a father-daughter relationship, and it is this strange companionship that makes the ordinary life more interesting.
<b>The ambiguity of the key word: the sadness that is difficult to explain</b>
Not everyone can boldly express the love in their hearts, because sometimes they themselves do not know what they really think in their hearts, but can only watch and wait from a distance, until everything becomes a sadness that cannot be recovered.
"Border Storm" directed by Cheng Er is a domestic word-of-mouth work in 2012, standing proudly in the forest of domestic films with a unique and sharp black temperament. Many years ago, during a police melee, the little girl was kidnapped by the big drug lord and taken abroad. As the girl grows up, the two people who have been together for a long time have feelings and become married, which can be described as a typical Stockholm syndrome. Years later, the drug dealer brought the girl back to China, and faced with an old father who had waited for many years and a police officer who needed to enforce the law, the girl was caught up in an emotional and moral choice. The narrative of the film is subtle and calm, and there is very little dialogue, and it is difficult for us to grasp the emotional process and concentration between the "good girl" and the "bad uncle", but it is this ambiguity that wants to say goodbye, so that the human body has a poetic meaning.
Young girls tend to be self-righteous about love, because they have not, so they are not afraid, and they are very lost. Just like the 16-year-old Jenny in "Growth Education", she does not look at the naivety of boys of the same age, and when she meets the mature and handsome David, the love sinus is completely opened. In the misty bars, elegant auction houses, exquisite restaurants, she enjoys a texture that she has never had in her life, like Prince Charming taking her on the endless grassland. But when Jenny learned that David had a wife, everything turned into smoke in an instant. It is difficult to say whether Jenny really loves this mature and stable uncle, or the superior and emotional material life, perhaps even she herself does not know.
Therefore, when it is impossible to explain, simply immersing emotions in that eternal ambiguity is also a kind of beauty. In "The Girl with the Pearl Earring", as a servant, Little Lori is very talented in art, which shocks the owner of the strange Shu Shu as a painter, both of whom are in mental difficulties, but can comfort each other through the exchange of hearts. So she asked him to punch holes in his ears, put on his wife's earrings, and become the model he sketched his ideal on paper. At such moments, there is no need to make clear what is going on in their hearts,
Because what Lori longs for, the uncle must have already understood, and vice versa.
<b>Keyword adventure: Little Lori has great things</b>
It turns out that saving the world is not just the mission of a superhero, and sometimes Lori can also take on a heavy responsibility and provide unusual assistance to the protagonist. And when the experienced uncle cooperates with Lori, who is not afraid of tigers, this adventure is even more interesting.
<b>The superhero father-daughter file in "Hai Bian King" has love and style</b>
Matthew Vaughn, the director who was greatly acclaimed for "Ace Agent: Secret Agent Academy", entered the ranks of first-line commercial genre directors with "Hai bian King" a few years ago. Elf beauty Chloe Moretz put on a dazzling purple wig, picked up a shiny sharp knife, and cleanly knocked a group of drug dealers to the ground, all of which grew up under the training of his police father. Chinese's good friend Nicolas Cage plays the father who keeps his daughter from learning well, just to avenge the criminals who separated father and daughter years ago because of unjust cases. It doesn't matter if the film's story design is logical or not, because Lori's chivalrous image challenges worldly ideas and conquers the audience with a novel impact.
In the "Tomorrowland" that is being released, Lori takes the initiative to take on the task of changing the fate of mankind. Cathy, the girl, is passionate about science and life and fantasizes about seeing aliens one day. She stumbles upon a mysterious badge, and in order to reboot the vanished World of Tomorrow, she enlists the reclusive scientist Frank (George Clooney). Under the temptation of the beautiful girl, the uncle who was already tired of science regained his interest and embarked on an adventure together. Under the law of "mixing young and old, work is not tired", they are gaging and creating paragraphs, while solemnly fulfilling the mission of salvation.
<b>In Tomorrowland, George Clooney and Lori Brittney Robertson venture into the world</b>
The bridges in science fiction movies are inevitably exaggerated, and the Coen brothers' "Earth Thunder" is much more realistic, and Rose, a 14-year-old girl in the film, must use wisdom and courage to avenge her father. This is one of the few films that tells a western story from a female perspective, and Little Lori has a mature temperament that does not match her age, combs neat braids, and has strong and calm eyes. It was with her charm that she infected the alcoholic sheriff and helped her with her final task. Of course, in the process, she will also make mistakes due to the curiosity that children often have, and clash with the sheriff. The film was a successful character development, with the lead actors Jeff Bridges and Hayley Stanfield both receiving Oscar nominations for the film.
<b>Keyword killing: Don't easily offend Lori</b>
It is often mentioned in martial arts novels that there are four major taboos in walking the rivers and lakes - monks, Taoists, women, and children - when encountering them, do not do it easily. The same is true in the movie, the seemingly sweet and cute little Lori will also instantly become a murderous demon, and has a means you can't imagine, so don't offend them.
At the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, a jaw-dropping movie called "Fruit Candy", fourteen-year-old Hayley met photographer Jeff online, and after the two met, Hayley volunteered to go to Jeff's house. While chatting and drinking, Jeff suddenly fainted and woke up to find himself tied up. It turned out that Hayley deliberately designed to punish the pedophile who seduced Little Lori on the Internet, and she castrated Jeff, and more cruelly, made him want to die. In the film, a little Lolita dressed in red subverts traditional values, fiercely subdues the big bad wolf, changes the happy warmth of Uncle Lolita, and also warns uncle: Lolita is risky, and the sister needs to be cautious.
<b>Indya in Stoke can't escape the family curse after all</b>
In 2013, South Korean crime film master Park Chan-wook entered Hollywood to shoot the thriller suspense film "Stoker", which is a psychological exploration of family genetic diseases, a suppression and challenge about the killing curse. After her father's death, her uncle Charlie came to the house of the young girl Indya, but as the story progressed, she discovered the secret of her uncle's body, and it was he who killed her father. So she took the gun and aimed it at her uncle and pulled the trigger. However, the person who killed the demon himself was also stained with blood and also became a demon, and Indya finally did not get rid of the family's killing curse. Lori in the film has a fatalistic tragic fate, and it seems that everything is doomed in the dark, which is also the theme of Park Chan-wook's films.
Fairy tales almost killed Lucas, the protagonist of "The Hunt."
Unlike the blatant killings in these films, little Lori in the Danish film "The Hunt" has a more terrifying and cryptic method: because of a false lie, she almost killed an uncle. Rejected for her courtship with her kind uncle Lucas, young Carla says she was sexually assaulted, leaving Lucas an object of exclusion and oppression throughout the town, and her life nearly collapses. The so-called "open gun is easy to defend, dark arrow is difficult to hide", this word-of-mouth work in addition to hinting at the unbridled power of fairy tales, but more importantly, it criticizes the language violence of the adult world.
<b>The taboo of the key word: unrequited love challenges moral nerves</b>
Although the word "Lolita" is derived from Nabokov's novel Lolita, it is not as full of strong erotic flavor as the novel. "Lori" is just a kind of girl who exudes youthfulness, they are rebellious, lazy, innocent, and like ordinary people, but they have a unique attraction for some "strange uncles" with psychological abnormalities.
<b>The 1997 version of Lolita is more straightforward about the hero's pedophilic tendencies</b>
There are two films based on the novel "Lolita", one is Stanley Kubrick's 1962 work, the actress who plays Lolita looks like a weird elf, has a stunning and tricky beauty, directly hits the uncle's heart, and the film is styled with black humor and ridicule. One is Adrian Lane's 1997 work, in which Lolita has an extra braces, which is not delicate but has a hazy mystery. The shot of her lying on the grass reading a book, the water dripping on her back showing the carcass outline has become a classic of erotic drama, and this film also emphasizes the uncle's pedophilia in the narrative. Little Lori has a certain symbolic symbolism in the story, which is interpreted as a young American teasing of ancient Europe.
If Lolita still has a hesitation to refuse to return the favor when facing her uncle, then jane, a 15-year-old girl in "Lover", has a bit of a sense of giving hugs. The troubles and boredoms of family life made her yearn for freedom and warmth, and the elegant oriental man really made her realize the gentlemanly demeanor that should belong to Europeans. The uncle played by Leung Ka Fai is a typical sullen man, cowardly, and fantasizing, nervous and funny when he tentatively shakes Jane's hand in the car. The uncle taught the girl everything with his body, but this kind of unrequited love that challenges the traditional taboo is still difficult to have a reunion ending.
<b>The images of "Lover" and "Isabella" both have a wet texture</b>
In "Isabella", director Peng Haoxiang cleverly used the gimmick of "father-daughter unrequited love", but in the end, he carried out a perfect solution and returned to the rendering of family affection. Police officer Ma Zhencheng woke up after a nightclub party and found a girl lying next to him, claiming to be the daughter of his and his first love girlfriend. In the next relationship between the two, Ma Zhencheng relived the feeling of being with his first love girlfriend, and Xiao Loli also experienced the attachment to her father that she had longed for since childhood. Therefore, as the saying goes, "a daughter is the lover of a father in his previous life", there is some truth to it.
<b>The key word of redemption: life is meaningful because of your presence</b>
As long as the uncle Lori is mentioned, the first film that comes to mind is naturally "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the cold killer wearing round-frame sunglasses and the pure little sister with a mushroom head, as well as the pot of plants that tie their feelings, together constitute a classic picture in the history of film. Because of an unexpected intrusion, the fates of the two lonely people have been intertwined since then, and each other's souls have been redeemed.
The scene of Leon walking with Mathilde in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has become a classic
The killer Leon is independent, he controls the lives of others with a gun, but he can't make himself happy. His heart had long been closed, cold and lonely, and only the green potted plants could bring him a little comfort. The same is true of the little girl Mathilde, who grew up in danger from an early age due to the family environment. Their encounter is not only the common pity of the fallen people at the end of the world, but also has a sympathetic fit. Leon had never experienced such a warm filling in his life, and Lori's helplessness aroused his sympathy and love as a man, so he was willing to sacrifice for her, and let him experience the meaning of being a killer for the first time. While little Matilda's life is saved, her spiritual world will also be changed by this man.
<b>The redemption of "Taxi Driver" is also somewhat ironic</b>
Many times, the more the uncle who has experienced vicissitudes, the more indignant dissatisfaction with the world, just like Travis in "Taxi Driver", after witnessing the crime of New York City at night, he hates society, when he sees the street prostitute Iris, he wants to help her get rid of her miserable life, and finally single-handedly breaks into the brothel and kills her. In this way, Travis vented himself, thinking that he could get the ideal redemption, but in the end, when the media called him a hero who saved the United States, it was extremely ironic. Interestingly, the audience who watched this film, John Hinckley, fell in love with Judy Foster, who played Iris, so much so that he actually assassinated President Reagan, which showed the charm of Little Lori.
The key to the soul redemption when the uncle and Lori are together lies in a certain characteristic of the other party that touches a certain feeling buried in their hearts for a long time, so that life is full of different vitality. Compared with the tired uncle who has been polished by life for a long time, the innocence and cuteness of Little Lori is easy to be tricked, so such a story will be interpreted over and over again.
<b>Two-dimensional Easter Egg: There is truth everywhere in the world</b>
When "Lori" was used as a noun to refer to the generation, the earliest reference character was the little fairy in the Japanese cartoon "Sweet Fairy", whose pink hair and red short skirt were very cute. In the two-dimensional world, the frequency of Lori's appearance is very high, because these works themselves are mainly children's groups.
The impression brought by the two-dimensional animation to the audience has broken the wall of the dimension
In Miyazaki's "Porco Rosso", Lori and Uncle meet. Pilot Bogo, desperate for the human world, transformed himself into a pig by casting magic. When he went to repair the plane, he met the granddaughter of an old friend, Fio, who had a good feeling for Bogo, and when she was young, she was cheerful and lively, and bravely showed love to Bogo. Miyazaki himself once said that when a person reaches middle age, he will become a pig, and Bogo in his forties in the film is more like his own situation. Bogo looks ugly, lazy and boring, sloppy and ordinary, and for Gina, who has been an old friend for many years, he does not dare to break the window paper. But the appearance of Little Lori has brought new changes to life, and she brings New Vitality and Passion to Bogo like an angel, although the end of the film does not explain whether he chose Gina or Fio.
The multi-award-winning Australian clay animation "Mary and Marx" also has a similar theme, an 8-year-old Australian girl who lacked family love since childhood, and one day wrote a letter to Marx in the United States on a whim. Marx, a big fat man with autism, stayed at home all day, and in his correspondence with Mary, he found that the two had many common hobbies, so this pen-pal relationship lasted for 18 years. During this period, both of them have encountered many changes, but there will always be a distant person who is comforting themselves. This kind of yearless friendship beyond time and space has a moving appeal, which shows the true feelings of the world at the same time, but also allows us to see the colorful fate.
Hollywood cartoons also often appear uncle Lori, such as the little girl Abu who was brought to the monster kingdom in "Monsters Inc.", and got the love of the hairy monster. Gru, the villain in Despicable Me, is infected by his adopted little Lori and becomes a good man again. The Destruction King in "Invincible Destruction King" meets the little girl Winnie while roaming the game world, and the two realize their dreams together. All of these works have excellent reputations, because they are both funny and moving, taking into account both children's and adult markets, and satisfying the yearning for beautiful emotions of people of all ages.
