恋恋师情

爱情哪有这么多名头 爱情就是爱情 简单得就和片名一样 Loving Annabelle

你或我 是不是都曾经爱上过someone impossible 不可能是因为她的地位 她的身份 她的家庭 她的习性 还有她的性别 你们特定的关系 可惜 爱上就是爱上了 由不得你来掌握节奏 它快的让你猝不及防 让你不知所措 让你乱了阵脚 让你明知该退步转身却依旧停留在原地

你开始躲藏 告诉自己冷静 毕竟人的欢喜持续时间是短暂的 过不久 这位impossible就会成为真正的impossible 这是凌驾于你潜意识之上的那一层理智

你想要的是友谊 你告诉自己这就足够了 可却藏不住 那人面前你那不可控制的眼神 藏不住戛然而止的聊天 让你体会到的担心与烦躁 夜深人静的你发现 冷静下来却得来了一样的结论 you do care

世上这么多未解之谜 人存在如此之多的情绪 自身发生的事你又怎能数清 又怎么要求事事理性 有些事情还真的只能 let your heart rule your head

在舞会上Annabelle 唱到say what i am what we are it's the start torch the truth

But the truth is i know u know

我们都知道 面对面时你最想说的话是什么 她说Te amo 你说Je t'aime

never mind 你们说的都是爱 这就足够了

I will shelter you through the storm.

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。

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.
