恋恋师情

One of the best Lesbian movies I have seen in a long time after Saving Face. If you are looking for something sensual then this is the movie for you, although the ending is probably not what you expect, there is an alternate ending on the DVD, which would probably suit most people. I absolutely love the film. It is brilliantly cast, well-written and directed. Great chemistry of lead actors, and the tension is built up so well through the whole movie. And to top it all off, the music throughout the movie flows perfectly with the storyline and adds to the overall beauty and emotion of the film. The film poses questions posed about Catholicism and Christianity's view on humanity, and gives us two extremes in how to see ourselves, as Circus sideshow material or living unfulfilled lives. I love how the student is the one doing the pursuing. Erin Kelly was magnetic as Annabelle. She looks real cool and mysterious. Her eyes are so capturing and powerful. I had to rewatch parts to get the deeper message. I loved the very relevant poetic references and other quotes in the film. The 35mm film looks glossy and the colors are crisp. The photography is just beautiful. However, the ending was a bit short, leaves your imagination to run wild to come up with so many different possibilities of what could happen after the ending. As said in the quote before the credits, "For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks". You gotta love Katherine Brooks. She's an absolute genious. Every moment in this movie gave me butterflies. Every time I watch it, I feel for the characters just that much more. Even though the ending was heartbreaking but it really reminds us how powerful love is, how people would rather go through so much pain just to love someone that is also considered taboo to many people. The loneliness of both of Annabelle and Simone, tenderness, secret and shy touches, eye contacts, Catholic school context and broken taboo made of this film real experience to see it.

Simone被判无罪

开头是Annabelle在便利店买东西，从发色可以看出，已经距离老师被带走过去了一些时日，她无意间看到了报纸上的新闻，“No Charges To Be Filed In Teacher Student Sex Scandal”，Simone被判无罪。

笑得好甜

Annabelle看到新闻标题后会心一笑

掩饰不住的发自内心的开心

Annabelle在去找Simone的路上，忍不住地笑

温暖的阳光，自由的风，也是此刻温暖又自由的心情

这一路上，有灿烂的阳光，有自由的风，一如当时一起去海边的那天

对，Annabelle就是去了海边，或许她的Simone就在海边的房子里等她，也或许她要去海边的房子里等Simone，Whatever，哪种都好～

师生恋在美国其实是很严重的指控，或许是为了舆论影响，导演在影片中留下了开放式的结局，但从Simone离开时坚定无畏的表情，Annabelle塞给她的佛珠，房间里残存的温情是那么真实，还有那爱意满满的照片就不难看出，两人的故事不会结束。

好在导演给了我们具像化的HE影像，发的这波糖，很甜～

奥地利诗人里尔克长诗里的节选，这段话总让我想起“情不知所起，一往而深。”

马利布海滩的豪宅

ps：曾经在洛杉矶待过一段时间，感觉电影里的海滩应该是马利布海滩 Malibu Beach

洛杉矶最北部的海滩，紧邻社会名流及好莱坞明星们居住的比弗利山庄。这里是明星们亲水、冲浪的专属海滩，所以也冠有“星光海滩”的光环。
