Travel is barbaric. It forces you to trust strangers and lose the habitual comfort that all your family and friends bring you. You are constantly out of balance. Except for the basic things of air, sleep, dreams, and the sea and the sky, nothing belongs to you, and everything seems to last for a long time, or it can only be imagined.
—Ian McEwan, "Just Love Strangers"
"Tango Lesson" is dreamlike and mesmerizing
▷ Bodhi's Evil Flower
I like the movie "Tango Lesson", as if it is a long time ago. Tango legend is a secret dance between lovers, Ben did not know much about dance, so he looked at it once, but he understood a little about the fervent freedom in it, and his heart longed for it.
In the early years, I knew a dancer, slender and tall figure, the appearance of a male god, his partner plump and petite, the tango dance of the two people, such as crying, enthusiastic, dodging collisions and quickly disappearing eyes, it is difficult to imagine that men and women without emotional entanglement and love and hate can use their limbs to interpret the dance like war.
The black-and-white tone of the film "Tango Lesson" is simple and charming, outlining the freedom and passion of women in their twilight years. Sally was inspired to run out of inspiration while creating, and after watching a passionate tango, she was deeply infected and determined to start learning tango. The dancers and partners who knew each other at that time were confused and could not extricate themselves, and finally abandoned their imprisonment and combined, and the fate was tango. Tango is very much like the beginning of love, wanting to refuse to return the favor.
Sally meets the tango dancer Pablo, is attracted to his dance, and in the process of learning tango from him, they fall in love with each other. The free tango, elegant and comfortable to the extreme, the repression of reality, has nothing to do with art, perhaps everyone has a foolish lust, and there is nowhere to put it. The dominant love that two strong people began to lead, in a leisurely tension, weathered by the wind and frost. At the end of each tango, the dancers are so relieved.
Do not understand the tango, the heart to see the flesh jumping, red ears, the advance and retreat between men and women, sometimes like this fiery tango, this long and one disappear, eliminating the boring flow. But who can break free of man's great desires?
Late Sally may be a british female director with a strong self, involved in stage plays, poetry, music and many other arts, before "Tango Lesson" there is also a "Orlando", which is also a subversion of the female image of the film, these feminist thinking and attitudes towards men are roughly similar to Wu Shuo.
In fact, the plot of the film is a bit self-congratulatory, but it is nothing compared to the beauty of music and dance. Tango's passion is entangled in complexity, as if love is unpredictable, love is lingering in the twelve lessons, the shuttle of years, "only the grass and trees are scattered, the fear of beauty is late", the gods and horses are floating clouds, after tango is a thrilling and unstoppable desire, but who can dance with me in this song? With whom does this life burn?
After the melancholy and uneasiness of the autumn rain, the clouds that should have been high and the clouds were cool, and these days, the intermittent soaking humidity was depressed. Last night was probably the beginning of the rainy season, and the asphalt was poured into the middle of the night, not in one go, and the lightning was also cowardly.
"A sound of sycamore leaves and a sound of autumn, a little bit of banana a little sad, three more dreams after three more", such a rain for a few days, but also a direct release after the heat, rain and people finally interpret each other's surprise to the extreme, but also can be regarded as an unforgettable look forward to it in a year.
There will be no other dances, like tango, that interpret the rejection of desire between men and women. The male and female protagonists speak Spanish when they laugh, speak English when they quarrel, and speak French when they talk about love, but in fact, they don't understand a word, which is not important.
A glimpse of the afterglow of the passionate man and woman, the future of the cave is beyond the flesh of the chicken ribs. Everything is frozen in the two graceful figures that are also dancing and happy, familiar with the unfamiliar melody, the constant flow of the air, and the "Tango Soul" interpreted by Yo-Yo Ma's cello is suddenly touched.
"The life I love is a thousand years away from me, and the fire is buried in the ashes. In this millennium I only love my own pain", charming hot dance, charming love, Sally, this old lady, the infiltration of temperament, a daydream of black and white light and shadow, wake up tonight and night? Midnight dreams back, skirt horns flying, a mess of literature and art. Love, for example, is like tango, there is no need to be so innocently attracted, the mutual exploration of encroachment and entanglement, and then there is no end.
