I recently rewatched the 1997 version of "Lolita", which mainly tells the story of an unethical relationship between university professor Humbert and his stepdaughter Lolita. The role of Humbert in the film is played by Jeremy Irons (Irons, also known as Uncle Iron).
Uncle Tie and Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ) both belong to the type where God rewards them with food. He was extremely handsome when he was young, and exudes endless mature charm in middle age.
Uncle Tie himself has a literary and artistic temperament, exuding a sense of melancholy and vulnerability. This makes it easy to downplay the ugly desires behind the character of Humbert in the movie.
97 version of "Lolita" stills
"Lolita, the light of my life, the fire of my desire. My sin, my soul. Lolita: tip of the tongue upward, in three steps, from the roof of the mouth down gently on the teeth. Lolita."
Lolita in the movie is starred by Dominique Swan. It can be said that this film is the peak of her appearance, innocent, pure and lustful, with the unique aura and wantonness of a girl.

There are many stories about the uncle and Loli, such as "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" and "Fruit Candy".
But there are very few works like "Lolita", which uses Humbert's perspective to tell his obsession and desire for Lolita. After reading it, people fell into pity for Humbert.
It obscures legal offenses.
If it were shot from Luo's perspective, then this would be a Fang Siqi-style ending.
Stills
No matter how the camera embellishes it, no matter how gorgeous the director puts the story in a robe, "Lolita" is still essentially a tragedy about a stepfather seducing his adopted daughter.
Humbert is still a psychopathic sex offender and pedophile.
Everything he gave Luo was based on the motive of deceiving Luo. Behind every move he made was a dark abyss.
Stills
After his mother died in a car accident, Luo was helpless and kept trying to please Humbert.
Humbert said to her half-jokingly:
If you reveal to the police that I am a rapist, then you will go to juvenile detention center and I will go to jail, so it is better to remain silent and let us live in peace.

At the end of the movie, Luo is poor and pregnant. She lived a happy life, vulgar but happy. She refuses to leave with Humbert.
She never fell in love with him, he only brought her harm.
All kinds of tenderness came to my heart. It's just a deformed self-impression.
I looked at her again and again. All your life, wholeheartedly. What I love most is her. I am sure of it, just as sure as I am of death. The flower-like witch in the past has now returned home with only dead leaves. Pale, vulgar, bloated. Carrying someone else’s child. But I love her. She can fade or wither, I don't care, but I just look at her and all kinds of tenderness come to my heart.
