      The heart is deceived above all things


      It's rare to see such a crazy mother-son movie. In my impression, only the old perverted woman Isabelle Huppert's "Mother, the Limit of Love/ma mere" can match. Isabelle Huppert brought a sexy woman to her son's bed and played bisexual games with her and him, triggering the son's nervous breakdown. At the end of the film, the mother died, and the son actually started masturbating at the mother at the funeral, and was found beaten up, and it was over.
      In "The heart is deceitful...

      Strange Oedipus complex?

      I don't know why it translates to "Chocolate Elvis" in Chinese. No matter from that angle, it has nothing to do with Chocolate Elvis. The literal translation from the English movie title should be "Of all things, the human heart is the most deceiving". The movie is based on JT LeRoy's second (same title) novel. JT LeRoy is a transgender man. A strong Oedipus complex made him think of himself as a girl since he was a child. His first novel "Sarah" (Sarah is said to be his mother's name) and...

      What does chocolate Elvis mean?

      I always seem to like to read stories of people on the fringe, which makes me seem normal. In fact, thinking about what people have not said what kind of state is normal. I can say that the little boy is unfortunate, his mother is unfortunate, they are struggling in despair, there is no end, and they are waiting for the day when the corpse will be thrown on the street. I'm still very happy, I'm just struggling with worldly things, as long as I work hard, I can still eat, drink, hang out and...

      unexpected surprise

      When you see the little monster on the cover, you know it's a good movie.
      When you see the little monster at the beginning, you know it's that one
      Cai who didn't watch it. It's a pity
      , but it's still pretty good to enjoy this surprise alone. The
      director is the heroine,
      Argento, who is so talented
      . The person who plays the prostitute in the peerless beauty
      is too sculptural. The
      mobs like
      Manson very much. It is better to make it more visually...

      What a terrible life. Asia is too suitable to play lunatics and addicts. The children acted brilliantly. Soy sauce lineup 8 Lai: Marilyn Manson's role is so useless; Winona cameo as a psychiatrist for a few minutes (convincing?! Why is the witch so strong?!); Later, Michael Pitt appeared. The soundtrack is quite in place, the kind that tugs on the...

      Don't watch it if you're a mother, you can't help but smash the monitor. If you're a JR fan of a mother, don't even watch it, you'll do something more terrifying than smashing the...

      When WinonaRyder appeared on the stage, the delicate pearl earrings on her ears, tsk tsk, but she has already gone to the road of madness~ What kind of children do parents want, it is sad and sigh, the prodigal son of a mad mother does not change...
