世界中心

这部电影看得我血脉贲张，描写男女对于Sex的期待又退却，两人对他们关系的期待又恐惧。但是，作者实质上是在讨论一个深刻的问题，即现代互联网对人类生活的影响，表面上看来，互联网让我们和整个世界联系在了一起，就像电影中所说只需要一张毛毯和一根网线，你就可以和整个世界联系起来，感觉自己好像是世界的中心。但是每个人又是实实在在的孤单，对现实世界充满了憧憬和恐惧。人类好像是被联系起来了，可实质上是彻彻底底的孤单，每个人都憧憬实实在在的关系，而非在Internet上建立起来的虚妄。

另外一个问题即商业社会给人类带来的浮躁与恐惧。尽管两人从原始冲动上对对方互有好感，但是商业社会塑造的理性（Money），又将这种关系变味了，变成了带有金钱的交易。

总之，根本上讨论了现代文明给人类带来的不安。

not my type although I was curious.But maybe i will see this kind of movies nex time just for my sudden curiosity deep in my heart. Is it the dark side of me? I still don't know how to face the subject of sex directly. Curious while guilty.

Sex isn't the subject of "The Center of the World." It's the arena. The subject is making money, and the movie is about two people who hate their jobs. Richard (Peter Sarsgaard) is a computer whiz whose company is about to go public and make him a millionaire. Florence (Molly Parker) is a lap dancer in a strip club, but technically not a prostitute. You can be aroused by her, but you can't touch her. Richard is the same way. He skips a meeting with investors and disappears as his company floats its IPO. You can profit from his skills but you can't have him.

At one point they practice something called "fire and ice," which involves ice cubes and hot sauce, and has been compared by credulous reviewers with the most famous scene in "Last Tango in Paris." The difference is, in "Last Tango" something was really happening between two unpaid and involved participants; in "The Center of the World," it's erotic showbiz. (Show me a sexual practice that involves ice cubes and hot sauce, and I will show you a sexual practice that would be improved without them.) The movie has also been compared to "Leaving Las Vegas," but couldn't be more different. That film was about agony and redemption, and the hooker was a healing angel. This movie is about two entrepreneurs.


The suspense in "The Center of the World" is not about whether Flo and Richard will have real sex. The suspense involves whether they'll start to like each other.

If you understand who the characters are and what they're supposed to represent, the performances are right on the money. Flo is not supposed to be a sexy tart, and Richard is not supposed to be a lustful client. They're sides of the same coin and very much alike. You want real? This movie shows you real. For Richard and Flo, real is a weekend in Vegas trying to figure out what they really want and how much they're willing to sell off in order to buy it.

世界的中心不在处处连接的互联网，而在创造人类的女性子宫。——编剧很明显的女权主义痕迹，不让它进入似乎就保护了女性。我非女权主义者，也不大懂女权主义，但对这种看法持保留意见。男女融为一体，才是真正的天地一界。

我想吐槽下，男主角在高潮时说出的那句I LOVE YOU，事后想想，这句话在这种时候他们是很容易说出的，欲望已经燃烧身体，侵占大脑，I LOVE YOU似乎是顺理成章的，没必要信，小妹妹。

   《世界中心》是我一直很想看的片子，自从在“看电影”的“情爱参考”里看到后。所以前天在BT CHINA看到后简直是欣喜若狂，今天一下完就迫不及待地看了。看完后心里挺压抑的，感觉有点像《LEAVE LAS VEGAS》，不过没有那么绝望，男女主人公的遭遇也没那么悲惨。就是那种与现实格格不入的情绪挺像的。
    一直都认为自己不会写影评，太主观了，只会说“我觉得~~~”所以一切都是很自我的感觉。故事很简单，一个IT精英RICHARD要一个脱衣舞女FLORENCE陪他在赌城呆上三天，然后给她一万美圆，她答应了，但提出“NO KISS，NO TOUCH，NO INSERT”的要求。好象RICHARD一开始就挺喜欢她的。但可能现实让她无法接受他的感情，即使彼此相爱。单RICHARD说“我爱你”时，她用“只是金钱交易”来回绝他，她说她不相信。看着他痛苦地说出“人都是有感情的”，我觉得挺难受的，或许她是怕受伤，可是拒绝了就不会受伤吗？我想她也不知道吧。
    说说RICHARD，他有令人羡慕的事业，可是他不快乐。就如他自己所说，“我整天关在屋里，每时每刻都面对着电脑，我不知道自己过的是什么样的生活，我要的是什么。”现代人似乎都是这样，物质上满足，精神上空虚。所以他“雇”了FLORENCE，表面是寻欢，其实是为了填补自己的寂寞孤单。他爱上了FLORENCE，无论这份爱是否掺杂了金钱和性，至少他觉得自己不再空虚，他有了想要去牵挂，去保护的人。所以当FLORENCE对他说出那些绝情的话时，他会那么愤怒，那么痛苦，进而伤害自己所爱的人，看到这一段，我有一种很深的不忍，不忍再看下去，看他们互相伤害。
     开始FLORENCE拒绝和RICHARD KISS，可能她觉得KISS是爱的表现吧，这一点很像SOPHIE的那部《心火》，本来女主角只是男主角雇来传宗接代的“工具”，但三天相处后，两人有了感情，一开始只是例行公事，但最后 一夜却有了爱的意味。跟《世界中心》挺像的。
    人是有感情的，我相信这句话。

   一个电脑男，一个脱衣舞女，两颗孤独的灵魂绞在了一起，两个青春的肉体同居一室，会发生些什么，这是可想而知的。
    他们本来是雇佣的关系，一夜情无非是金钱情。但是，好感产生了，还是爱情的萌芽。但是，再下一步呢，他们就不知该怎么好了。
    于是，影片的结尾又回到了开头。电脑男又坐回到电脑前，而女人也回到了酒吧，重操旧业。两人又见面了，戏还会再演一遍吗？
    电脑男是个老实入，姑娘拿不定主意：究竟有几分真情？她不敢轻易相信。爱的萌芽掐断了。
    片子为什么叫了这样一个宏大的题目呢？
