The film has many flaws, but it has more plots than the simple temptation of meatballs and martial arts.
I was confused at first, but after reading everyone's comments, I read it again. Let me sketch my conjecture roughly.
There are three worlds: first, the real world; second, the theater world; third, the super fantasy world.
The tones of the three worlds are quite different.
The real world is very gloomy, close to black and white.
I think the real real world story is pretty much told in the beginning: baby doll is sent to a mental hospital by her stepfather, she is in what is called a theater, and she sees a doctor doing music therapy to girls, and all four supporting actresses are there , especially sweet pea sitting in the most conspicuous place - on the single bed, with the other three girls sitting around a table.
Notice the scene, doll is standing there timidly, with her stepfather and head wardens standing behind, she's looking at Pea, and then, just then, pea is looking at her too. Because this scene is repeated in the second layer of fantasy, which is the theater world.
In the theater world, the perspective of this scene has become the perspective of Pea, she stepped off the scene of the simulated doll surgery, and then saw the doll in the student uniform, behind which stood the stepfather who was imagined to be a priest and the warden in a suit. The other three girls are on stage with pea, which is also in line with the real-world composition of two parties - one is the new doll, and the other is the four girls.
Continuing to return to the real world at the beginning of the film, Doll is taken to her own "cell", and her eyes swept over maps, keys, knives, and lighters along the way, with a hint of what she wants to do. Then the camera slid past the scene where the female doctor treated Doll, and directly entered the moment when the chisel was about to penetrate her eye before the male doctor operated on Doll.
That's when the real world meets the theater fantasy. It's easy to ignore the reality of the preceding paragraph and think it's just what pea is playing, but it's not. Because reality ends here. In addition, when the film is about to end, the male doctor pulls out the chisel, talks to the nurse and the female doctor, and the police rush in to arrest the warden. Doll closes his eyes expressionlessly for another reality.
This is the real world in the show: just these two episodes. But it has already been explained.
Therefore, I think all five girls have real bodies, not the five personalities of doll or pea.
Let's talk theater fantasy.
Some people think that every plot in the theater fantasy should have a real plot to correspond. I don't think this is necessary.
In fact, I think that this part of the theater is not so much a fantasy of the pea as it is the fantasy of the director. They just want to shoot beautiful girls wearing tights and being abused, wearing uniforms and leather clothes to the sky, playing violence and being abused, you have to give them to others A bridge to play! The director finally came up with a mentally ill fantasy scene, so why bother?
As for whether the theater scene corresponds to the provision of sexual services for the guards, I don’t think so. There may be, may not be, or some of them are, but if it is common, it is definitely not – from the female doctor to the last just because of her signature. She faked it for surgery and called the police, which shows that she still has a good sense of justice. The warden wants to play, but it is also playful.
I think it's more erotic because the director wanted the erotic effect. This is originally a commercial film, not a drama film. It is not bad to have a small design with triple fantasy.
I think the explanation can be generalized:
there is no sacrificing yourself to save Pea.
In the real world, doll was determined to escape from the start, but it was clear that she failed, and she was still left with a lobectomy and a permanent dementia. However, her operation aroused the suspicion of the male doctor, thus exposing the shady story of the forged signature of the head guard. The female doctor was angry, the police came, the entire mental hospital was closed down, and Pea was free. In Pea's view, this is doll's sacrifice. Although in the real world this is an indirect sacrifice. Instead of opening the door to let Pea out.
But Pea still thinks doll is great, she's a natural dancer, the center of the theater, and the world takes its breath away when she dances. And the super fantasy world, that is, the world of doll that Pea guessed - she guessed the courage of doll, where her abilities came from, and why her inner strength was so strong, thus creating a further fantasy world, a beast world.
Pea is certainly not the only one in the asylum to be freed, but she is the only one of the five girls to be freed, and at the same time, she must be a fantasy psychopath. That's why in the end, in her fantasy, she would be targeted by the police and in danger of being caught. The rest of the girls were supposed to have been operated on, they were already "dead" - the warden exclaimed, "Look at her face, she's dead!"
Did the four girls help doll, maybe? , or it may not help, pea has a strong sense of resistance, maybe she imagines the people around her to be like this, when doll takes action but fails, she imagines that they are on the side of doll. From the real world, the eyes of pea and doll looking at each other can show her unwillingness in her heart, and in the fantasy world, pea's repeated hesitation can also show her lack of action. In her heart, she was standing beside doll and resisted with her, so in fantasy she was.
