In the middle of this year, a comedy about sex and desire was launched on foreign streaming media, setting off a wave of movie watching. A month later, the popularity of this movie has not diminished, and it still ranks first in the recent Douban hot list.
The title of the movie is Good Luck, Rio Grande.
The heroine Nancy ( Emma Thompson ) is a 55-year-old middle school religious teacher whose character and life are as her profession gives the impression—conservative and rigid. She has a son and a daughter, and after her husband passed away two years ago, she has continued to live a peaceful life.
is such Nancy, but one day, she does something very "out of the ordinary":
She calls a male sex worker, Leo (Darryl McCormack).
Meeting for the first time, Nancy nervously dresses up in the hotel room and waits at a loss, while Leo walks to the appointment.
After meeting, Nancy was a little overwhelmed, partly because Nancy had never done anything like this, and partly because she was a little distracted—because Leo was so handsome, he was young, strong, and dressed with taste , also pay attention to speaking. And Nancy herself is a typical middle-aged and elderly dress, and looks old-fashioned compared to Leo.
In a chat, Nancy revealed why she called Leo: she had never experienced an orgasm in her married life. And this time, she came to experience orgasm.
"Undressed, lay in bed, and he would stroke my shoulders and chest lightly, then climb up, get down to business... kiss my cheek, roll off me, put my top on, and sleep." Routine like this The same sex life has never been an exception in 31 years.
And now that her husband is dead, Nancy doesn't want to fake an orgasm anymore.
's intimacy with Leo was clearly enjoyable, because Nancy "renewed" Leo's services and even prepared a list of poses, mutual oral love, 69... She wanted to have a limited time with Leo Olympic try again and again. It sounds like "ambitious", but Nancy keeps falling into a state of panic, withdrawal, and lack of confidence, for fear that Leo will dislike his age, that Leo will not be able to harden his imperfect body... and Leo keeps Gentle, has been encouraging her, helping her to relax into the state and enjoy the process.
When they meet for the third time, a curious Nancy crosses the line and she finds out Leo's true identity, which makes the two break up, but when they meet again, they open up to each other, completely candid, and resolve the conflict .
It was in this last meeting that Nancy ushered in the first orgasm of her life, not from Leo, but from herself during masturbation.
At the end of the movie, Nancy looks at her body in the mirror, with sagging breasts and belly fat, but Nancy finally smiles relaxedly.
We believe that Nancy's experience is by no means an exception, and she is actually a typical representative of thousands of middle-aged and elderly women. Because of being "old", it is taken for granted that "without sexual desire"; because of "serving the husband", as a womanThe pleasure of Nancy has never been valued; because of her out of shape, her disgust with her body has become more and more serious...
And the film shows these dilemmas naked and gives the answer: Nancy has a sexual desire, actively buys sex and has a good experience ; The pleasure of a woman can be independent of others, so she finally gets an orgasm through self-satisfaction; the heroine finally puts down her anxiety about her body and accepts it calmly.
But reality is cruel. In the traditional concept, sex is not a topic that everyone is willing to talk about casually, and sex is often dominated by men, so many women have no awareness or opportunity to take the initiative to get pleasure in their lives, let alone meet a perfect and considerate person like Leo. to unreal partners. Body anxiety is also a vine that entangles a woman's life. Even if you can usually ignore it, all kinds of nitpicks and evaluations will come up from time to time, making it difficult to completely ignore it.
Compared with reality, the answers given by the film may be too ideal and too perfect, but this film directly points out these long-ignored problems, which is something to be encouraged.
We need to show female eroticism, we need to express female feelings, we need movies like this, until these kinds of movies don't need to be particularly recommended.
