Cupid 爱神丘比特

这个著名的神仙不知道的人恐怕是少数吧？他还有很多的化名。我们就来了解一下丘比特以及他的“化身”。

The Italian Cupid or Amor, the Greek Eros—god of love, son of Aphrodite, by either Zeus, Ares, or Hermes. Cupid was thought of as a beautiful but wanton boy, armed with a golden quiver full of ‘arrowed desires’. According to a late legend, Venus became jealous of beautiful Psyche, ‘the soul’, and ordered her son to inspire her with a love for the ugliest of all men. It happened that Cupid himself fell in love with Psyche and, invisible, visited her every night. He ordered her not to attempt to see him and when, overcome by curiosity, she violated his command, he deserted her. Psyche wandered about the world seeking him, overcoming many obstacles placed in her way by Venus, until at last Jupiter granted her immortality and the lovers were reunited. The Greco-Roman conception of the love god, however, lacks the brilliance and subtlety of his Hindu counterpart, Kama.

我观之我见

《美国派》系列电影是涉及到青春、性的搞笑片。前两部还算比较有质量，而后面的几部就是粗制滥造、靠色情来博眼球了。《美国派》1、2讲述了刚刚成人的小男生们对性的萌动、以及美国人群对性不同的观念。美国在道德和观念上是一个复杂的国家，各种宗教、教派都有自成体系的道德和人生观、价值观、世界观。而美国又是各种“解放”思潮的发源地，追求绝对自由、解放和个人本位的观念也影响了相当多的人。于是，就会出现一些人呼吁要保持贞节，尤其是少男少女们的纯洁，而相当多的人也对性开放抱着宽容的态度。电影把青少年们的性意识表现的过于夸张了，在现实的生活中不可能这样疯狂。
