Don't say you understand, many people may be dismissive of the plot of "Pretty Girl", just look at the action scenes and special effects, but I can't help but think about it, and I end up cursing if I don't understand the plot. The film is bloody, this approach is really inappropriate.


After watching the movie, the first movie that came to my mind was Mulholland Drive, which may be a bit high-level, but Zach Snyder did use some of the "dream" explanations in the book "The Interpretation of Dreams" to In "Pretty Girl Commando", although the beautiful girl is talking about fantasy, although the director's connection between reality and fantasy is diluted by a lot of actions and visual effects, it can't be said that the beautiful girl is a very thoughtful and emotional film. The video, let's talk about some issues that seem to be unnoticed.


1. Why did a rabbit mecha appear on the battlefield of World War I?

In the battlefield of World War I, the beautiful girls were already dressed up (weapons too), so why did a super rabbit mecha appear? In fact, this is the mapping of fantasy to reality. At the beginning of the film, I glanced at the room of the ragdoll sister, and there happened to be a pink plush rabbit toy in the room, and the rabbit mecha was its reflection.



2. What does "feminine" mean?

It's still a rabbit mecha with three men on it, "women's danger", which actually means Japanese, which translates as "Dangerous! Female pilot!" The amber sitting on it is really dangerous!



3. Can't understand the story? To put it bluntly

, "Beautiful Girl" is still a story of stealing dreams: the first layer is reality, the doll's mother died and her stepfather insulted her and she was sent to a mental hospital. After 5 days, her brain will be removed; the second layer is a brothel , learn to dance, and after 5 days, a rich man will take away her virginity; the third layer is a fantasy dream, there is a spiritual mentor who helps ragdolls and others, and many real things are also reflected in it: such as fire dragons , is actually the dragon pattern on the lighter; another example is the European churches, Japanese castles and European castles in every dream, which are also the reflection of the gate of the mental hospital.



4. Did Tiandoudou escape from the lunatic asylum?

Of course not. What can explain clearly to the audience is the old man that Sweet Doudou met at the bus stop. This old man has been a guide for the loli in the ragdoll's fantasy many times, and this old man is actually the father figure that the ragdoll yearns for, so Sweet Bean's smooth escape is fake, and the escape scene takes place in the illusion of the brothel.




5. Is the doll really sick?

She must be mentally ill. She is just a mental patient with paranoia and violent tendencies. The last doctor who removed the lobe looked at the ragdoll's expression in surprise after the operation. Finally, we also saw the ragdoll's expression, very satisfied. , In fact, it was the expression that the ragdoll thought that Sweet Doudou had escaped in the illusion, but in reality she also "thought" that the doctor had performed an operation on her, and that "Sweet Doudou" would be able to escape, everything was just imagination, Do you still remember that when the doll was first sent to the mental hospital, a girl sat on the bed on the "stage", with her head bowed and a soulless look? That is the real sweet beanie, the real mental patient.



Looking back at the ending, another film that reminds me is Takeshi Kitano's early film "3-4x10 Months". Everything that happened was thought up by the helpless protagonist when he was squatting in the pit. Liang Yimeng.
