The familiar opening of Lolita reads: "Lolita is the light of my life, the fire of my desire, and also my sin and soul." Very beautiful, soft and full of emotional tension.
In the film Total Food of the Heart, which won the director's Golden Shell Award at the 43rd San Sebastian International Film Festival from 65438 to 0995 more than 20 years ago, Xiao was still a teenager and had not filmed Titanic, which made him famous at one fell swoop. The fragility and madness, hesitation and cunning, reconstruction and destruction of the artistic teenager make him show this softness and tension.

The prototype of the film is/kloc-the story between Rambo, a famous French poet, and his lover Wei Erlun in the 9th century.
/kloc-Rambo, a 0/6-year-old young poet, gave his poems to Wei Erlun, a famous poet at that time. Wei Erlun should be a lucky poet. He lives with his rich father-in-law's family and often invites some contemporary poets to get together in their mansion.
Rambo received an invitation.
As a gifted scholar from a poor family, he naturally gloated when he was still very poor. But there are limits to his happiness. Borrow a sentence from Jiang Wen's Sunny Days to describe Ma Xiaojun and them, "They are born people and have never had obsequiousness."
More importantly, this is an amazing Rambo.
He didn't cooperate with Wei Erlun's wife's request to recite poems for them, although "other poets do"; He couldn't resist the naughty boy's mischief and destroyed valuable gadgets in the room-he was expelled by Wei Erlun's father-in-law.
At first, Wei Erlun should just be annoyed at his father-in-law's face-to-face rebuttal. He arranged for Rambo to stay in a small hotel nearby, but later, he became more and more addicted to Rambo's company and they finally became lovers.
However, in this nondescript love, there is Wei Erlun's wife. She tried her best to take him away and start over in a new environment, but at the last minute, Wei Erlun sneaked on the return train.
However, the life of the two people who eventually lost their bondage was not easy. In a drunkenness, Wei Erlun shot and wounded Rambo. On the other hand, he was imprisoned.
Two years later, when he came out, the world had changed, his wife had applied for divorce from him, and Rambo, a talented young poet, had stopped writing poems.
His poems are still there, but this time his attention is walking in the world itself.
Rambo went to many places in the world, stayed in Africa for 10 years, and finally lost a leg because he could not get timely medical assistance, at the age of 37.

The picture of the film has always been beautiful and exquisite, and it has always been dominated by dark colors.
Rambo's language, if not deliberately vulgar, was reading his groundbreaking works at that time, which were later considered to have created modern poetry:
"My life is just a sea in the eyes of a gentle madman? I refused blue. "
Or a sentence far beyond teenagers' minds: "either don't hurt others or look on coldly." Don't insult those who have been hurt by you by apologizing. "
The film has a deep soundtrack and often uses short and tight strings, as if it could pay tribute to the young and unruly poet at that time and portray his restless heart.
Everything is timely, and everything is complementary except the story itself.

Wei Erlun's wife is naturally an innocent person. In the prime of my life, I am rich and married to a beloved person I admire. Everything was fine, but it was all upset by the arrival of a teenager.
Her petty attitude and repeated forbearance only made her husband hate her more-he would rather she hated him, and he burned her hair with the power of wine just to see her gentle seven emotions. He doesn't need a perfect saint-a woman who only loves and doesn't hate, or she is mentally unsound or unwilling to open her heart. As an artist, he can't tolerate both.
This is an unsuitable marriage. She may not be unable to give him what he wants, but her education, her background and her personality make her unable to be the crazy lover he wants-in fact, in the final analysis, it is still the boy's fault.
If he is just a beautiful teenager, forget it. Wei Erlun's wife is equally beautiful and young, but Rambo has the talent that Wei Erlun has been pursuing all his life but can't reach. He can hit his heart with a random hymn. How could he let him go?
Wei Erlun completely changed his life track for him, abandoned his wife and children, lived in poverty, went to prison, and was finally completely free, but they could not fall in love.
After all, two people killed too much in those poor days. Probably because people with financial difficulties have only feelings as their spiritual support, and only feelings can be consumed.
Especially Rambo. He turned down all the jobs and just wanted to devote himself to creation. He doesn't intend to be anyone's lover, nor will he or won't do it.
If he had preferred to compromise, with his cleverness and Wei Erlun's father-in-law's family, maybe he wouldn't have fallen into such a down-and-out situation, but it wouldn't have been him-probably a poet tortured by his talent and the hardships of life, who made those epoch-making poems.
In fact, perhaps the most innocent person in the whole story is Wei Erlun.
He is not a talented poet, nor a perfect husband, but fate has made him marry a lady with a good family background, and everything will be fine-if it weren't for meeting Rambo.
When love burns, both of them are in heaven. When love goes out, both of them are suffering from each other, so they go to hell to borrow a fire to keep it burning.
Later, the mutual torture of two people from language to body was shocking.
Therefore, whether this love comes from heaven or hell, there may really be no outsiders to judge.

According to true records, Rambo lived with Wei Erlun from 16 to 19, and his creative vitality was fully stimulated. Most of his best poems were written at this time.
Later, he traveled around the world, dedicated his talents to the success of secular definition, and made great achievements.
There are not many records about Wei Erlun later, except that after Rambo's death, he devoted himself to publishing and sorting out Rambo's poems.
After every gorgeous burning, there will be a quiet process. How beautiful it was at the beginning, how lonely it was later, and fate has its wonderful law of fairness.
"My eternal soul is watching your heart, even if the night is lonely and the day is burning."
