Although the film was shot by Paul Verhoeven, the metaphor, religion, and eroticism in it are the style of the original author, Gerard Reve. The protagonist of this film has the same name as him, and his thoughts and styles are so similar that the boundaries between true and false are also blurred.
As the first gay writer to come out in the Netherlands, his passion for Catholicism, his reflection on gay relationships, and his fantasy of reality and fantasy make his works full of a... -

Male and female desire and redemption
The metaphors in many places in the film are very interesting. Compared with the religion and redemption that other film critics have said, what I see is not quite the same.
When most people call that the union of men and women is the only law to keep the balance in this world, the director has a unique opinion. In his movie world view, men and women are the relationship between the prey and the hunter. The two are born with irreconcilable contradictions, which have nothing to do...

Paul Verhoeven has been shooting some low-budget films in the Netherlands. He went to Hollywood at the invitation of Spielberg. He started with B-movies, and gradually he became famous and famous internationally. This director has one hand in science fiction, one hand in erotica, and one in war. He has made good achievements in three fields. His films are fragrant and violent, suspense and weird, and there is always a kind of wildness and magnanimity from the European continent. Verhoeven's...

Witches vs. Virgin Mary, female version of Bluebeard, a variant of femme fatale, pure evil without motives. Whether it is the obscenity of the elderly gay in the literature and art or the real occurrence is entirely up to the judge's judgment. I can't help but wonder if the male protagonist likes males because he feels incestuous and blasphemous with female...

The impression of Verhoeven's film is still "hilarious and seductive", and this one is the same. Some paragraphs at the beginning are a little bit Lynch, a little bit Berman, but Verhoeven is Verhoeven, and the male protagonist will spread the eggs and chickens when he comes out (laughs to...

+1 for the writer's surreal imagination. (The cat's eye on the imaginary door on the train has an eyeball falling out and dissolving in blood - the camera cuts to a real scene where the passenger boy rubs his eyes...) "What you create with reality is much more interesting than reality itself." Impact Later, the creation of "Instinct": the scheduling of the mirror during sex, the posture is all female superior, the people around you are written into the book, there are writers, the writers are...

Not only the material, but the interesting thing is that it is a material with a perspective, which is connected to the creation of the novel without any obstacles, and the import and export of hierarchical relationships are also very rich. In parallel, the witch is also creating, using the camera to capture the soul. At the moment of the screening, the two creations converge and develop...

Gerard Reve, Herman: [are confronted with a sudden shower]
Herman: Damn weather!
Gerard Reve: [yelling and pointing to trees] There!
Gerard Reve, Herman: [ran to the trees]
Herman: We all get soaked!
Gerard Reve: That one's open!
Gerard Reve, Herman: In that tomb?
Gerard Reve: Dead men don't bite, only live ones do.
Gerard Reve, Herman: [going inside]
Herman: [got licked by Gerard and turns towards him] Do you want to get hit?
Gerard Reve: It wouldn't be the first time. But you won't.
Herman: Won't I?
Gerard Reve: No...
[pulls up Herman's shirt, touches his breast]
Herman: Do you think I'll like it?
Gerard Reve: I'm gonna try...
Herman: Keep going, Gerard.
Gerard Reve: [kisses Herman] I saw you at the station... and your picture later on... such a beautiful boy.
Gerard Reve: [after French kissing] I thought I've got to have him, even if it kills me.
Herman: I like your spiel... nobody's ever told me that before.
Gerard Reve: Spieling is my profession. I kept lobbying with Christine... and hoping that you would come.
Herman: I like you going for me, Gerard.
[going down on him]
Gerard Reve: I, dirty old man.

Gerard Reve: If I tell that story often enough, I'll start to believe it myself. And that, I think, is the essence of my work. I lie the truth. Until I no longer know whether something did or did not happen.

Gerard Reve: Who will be the fourth? You or me! Get that? One of us!
Herman: I don't get it. I'm too stupid to get it, Mr. Writer, sir. I may be an ordinary plumber, but you, you're a raving lunatic!
Gerard Reve: That woman is deadly. Three husbands, three dead bodies! One of us will be the fourth, can't you see that?
