Does the intimacy must be arranged by him?

As long as you are familiar with contemporary European and American literature, you will definitely not be unfamiliar with the name Sally Runi. A drama "Normal Man" adapted from the novel of the same name became a phenomenon, and the story of Maryan and Cornell's pure love has become the object of discussion of everyone.

Two years later, Sally Runi's first work "Chat Record" was remake of HULU, but he encountered Waterloo (both IMDB and Douban scores around 6.8). "There is no sexual tension". In the attitude of rigorous studies, I click on the play page, and after half an hour, I have the conclusion that it belongs to it: Compared with the original book, it is indeed reasonable.

Obviously, like Rooney's other works, the story clue of "Chat Record" itself is very simple: a female college student struggling near the food and clothing line, after falling in love with the married male actor who fell in love with the handsome male actor, has a self -worth, intimate relationship and intimate relationship, and The essence of love has been comprehensive review. According to the twelve episodes of the story, it seems that it is a proposition composition that knows "what experience is a woman who is in love with a woman".

And what it deliberately avoids answering is exactly the core question in the original book of Sally Runi: "Who should we love when facing the critical juncture of life?"

Sally Rooney and her millennial writing

Sally Runi was born in Mero County, Ireland, 31 years old. She studied English and literature at the Sanyi College of Dublin. In 2017, the debut "Chat Records" was published after the publication of the criticism. Immediately afterwards, the "Normal Man" in 2018 has stirred thousands of waves, and has won a number of international awards including the British Book Awards.

Surprisingly, such a young writer who has a strong and aggressive comes, the subject matter of enthusiastic writing is basically nothing to do with the word "serious". Campus love, extramarital affairs, four -corner relationships, ambiguous text messages you come and me between lovers ... All are her writing material.

"Chat Record" is a very typical "Rooney Love accident". The young girls who love literature Francis and Bobe have maintained an intimate relationship beyond friendship for many years. After meeting the writer Merrisa and her actor's husband Nick, this solid two -person alliance seems to be broken: Bobby and Melissa Falling into ambiguous, Francis was unwilling to show weakness, and the speed and Nick developed underground.

In fact, "the pattern is too small" is the main critical voice faced by Sally Runi, which often plagues himself. In the words of the writer, she is in a "turbulent era", but she still chooses entertainment and decorative writing. This contradiction makes her "unhappy".

But this may also be why her work can resonate among young readers. In "Chat Records", the author uses a considerable length to present text messages and emails between characters, and uses this as the main form of constructing dialogue. The new work "Beautiful World, where are you" is seamlessly connected with the current reality -the heroine Alice and his friend Irene lived in Meiao County and Dublin respectively. Because various objective factors have been unable to meet for a long time, they can only rely on the Internet to rely on the Internet Communicate with each other.

It reminds me of those trivial Sibo moments: the offline community is terrified, but the golden sentences are frequently produced in the WeChat dialog box, or they take out the mobile phone every three differences. Social media and modern communications have long been an important means for people to record life and express themselves. If you want to portray the true state of living and psychological changes of young people, you cannot see this.

Today, most young people have experienced anxiety, confusion, and lack of security, and the turbulence of the real world has also increased the possibility of long -term separation between friends and lover. Because of the epidemic relationship, when creating "Beautiful World, where are you", Sally Runi is in the same state of "isolated" as the heroine Alice, which also affects the author's handling of the development of the storyline. Essence Although the characters in the pen have their own spiritual dilemma, the world she built is completely based on real life experience- "I only write about the people and things I know."

The success of Rooney may also remind everyone: In this era, we probably do not use a literary masterpiece of millions of words to fill the fragments of those who take the subway, wait for coffee or before bedtime- "serious or not "It has never been the only criterion for measuring literary value." Show the real present "can also give the work a strong vitality.

We are on the same side of the world

Although Sally Runi never consciously established a certain writing style, "love and friendship" still became the theme that runs through all her works. The essence of digging intimate relationships through the keen dynamic psychological description is her best creative perspective.

The stories of Maryan and Conner in "Normal People", on the surface, are the young men and women in the family in love "want to touch and take back their hands" during the love process. You take two steps in the past two steps. Tai Chi; in fact, the two confused and sleepy souls are looking for mirrors on each other, and the growth history of each other and healing each other.

In "Chat Records", Sally Runi also created the relationship between Francis and Bobe in a similar way. Literary hobbies and value orientation make them cherish each other, and the differences in the rich and the poor, the competition relationship, and the past emotions have increased the danger and ambiguous atmosphere to this friendship. In the drama version of "Chat Records", the complexity of the connotation of the work can be avoided. The audience's attention is fully concentrated in "the extramarital affairs of the literary girl and the inner fragile actor", and failure has become an inevitable.

From a more macro perspective, we can actually find that if we want to tell a story of "getting growth in the relationship", as long as the protagonist is set to two girls, it is not so easy to make mistakes. In "Naples Fourth Terminal", La Nun and Lila are reflected by the centuries. In "Ghost World", Scarlett Johnson and Sola Berch play a pair of women who like to say bad things about people. High school students, standing in front of the fork of life, they must choose one of them from friendship and dreams.

And Rouney himself is probably the fan of Director Graita Geweg -except the latter's name has appeared many times in the book, and the heroines of "Chat Records" and "Francis Ha" also magically regained their names. In that black and white movie, Francis was still talking to Susan in the last second. The next second was drunk, shouting the name of each other in the subway station at midnight, and then peeing at the track.

The rationality of this setting is that it depends on the sensitive characteristics of nature, and women seem to be more likely to develop a profound connection far beyond friendship. I am willing to unilaterally call it "symbiosis." It was an extreme convergence. A two -person alliance that was formed through the secret language seemed to be indestructible, but it was weak. More complicated fetters are often born: the more beautiful you are, the more ugly you, the more you swell, the smaller, I hate you and love you, I want to destroy you, but I want to be you more — I saw it in you And another possibility of human beings.

At the end of "Chat Record", after experiencing various winds and waves, Francis chose to return to Bobby and watch TV with her on the sofa. This is almost a time to echo the classic lines of "Francis Ha": "You look at the other side of the room, your eyes are intertwined -unrelated to possessiveness, unrelated desire, you know she is the one in your life . Life is always over, and this mysterious world appears in front of you without warning, and anyone else can understand. "

Young people become older from generation to generation, leaving eternal repeated troubles

On the title page of "Chat Record", the author quoted Frank Ohara's sentence: "In the crisis, we must decide again and again, who we want to love." For this question, even Sali Runi himself himself himself Nor can the answer -this may only symbolize the confusion that contemporary people are generally faced.

In fact, a kind of love attitude of "follow the wave (love)" is quietly popular: thanks to dating software led by Tinder, we can put various weird labels for ourselves in the virtual world, and look forward to Someone came to open the windows of their long -seated minds; they can also choose to harmonize their lives with strangers all night. The next morning, they rode a shared bicycle to leave the other party's rental house. No one cares. The core of "whoever loves" is actually "what kind of way should we experience love".

As part of "showing the real present", Sally Runi also presented the mode of getting along with young people in "Chat Records": Francis and Bobby had a short love in high school. It is more intimate; her extramarital affairs with Nick seem to be clear from the beginning, and the lust is above and has nothing to do with her promise. On the other hand, the female writer Melissa also admits that she has been derailed many times. In the end, the past of her husband Nick and Francis.

Although this will allow some readers to accept incompetence, it truly reflects the extraordinary courage of the writer when discussing the "dimension of love". The so -called love of sexual desire and spiritual love, long -term love and unauthorized love may not be different in essence -pursuing a complete self in love is the process rather than purpose. Perhaps the night when holding a mobile phone and a face -to -face dialog box will eventually disperse from life, but those moments that make you and me have a weak resonance, and will always save in another way: chat history is the language of love.
