The bright line of the film is about the process of several girls with different personalities falling into the trap step by step, which is very dramatic. In addition, it also has a dark line, which is to use all kinds of hints and details to portray the sexual psychology of the characters in the film:
Female No. 1 is bisexual, inheriting a large amount of fortune from childhood, and raising her father makes her have a strong side, but But he only has a good impression of Axel, because Axel is a genuine transgender person. In the end, she survived with her male side: strong character + money.
Female 2 and Female 3 are two different sides of a typical female character, one is simple and foolish and loves fantasy, the other is coquettish and confident. What they have in common is that they all desire to be loved by men. So they ended up miserably.
Axel is a transgender, and at the same time the wife of the film's male No. 2. Because she is male by nature and possesses money, the male consciousness of Male 2 is seriously suppressed.
The fundamental reason for Male 2's participation in this event was that his sexual consciousness was suppressed, which was equivalent to being castrated psychologically. So when Female No. 1 said that he was not such a person, his inner male consciousness was completely awakened. But in the end, in front of the female 1 with stronger masculinity (more money, more ruthless means), he was completely castrated from physical to psychological.
Male 1 I think is one of the reasons why the film passed the review. The transformation of Male 1 is the brightest content of the film. It reveals that power, money, killing, dominance, and domination do not make people truly powerful.
The following are some small details, maybe you have noticed it, maybe not, just for reference:
1: The moment Axel took off his clothes, the students showed a surprised expression, suggesting that Axel is a transgender person.
2: When Axel asked Female No. 1 to draw, Female No. 2 subconsciously walked away a few steps and showed disgust, which also confirmed this. It can also be seen from the conversation at the hotel’s front desk that she is only interested in men.
3: Axel's trick in the train is a typical trick of a liar.
4: The natural hot spring bath that female No. 3 yearns for in the car uses her own blood.
5: The hotel enters the door, the TV is still vulgar novels
6: When the girls entered the hotel, the two girls on the sofa quickly looked back and then turned around. This implies that the hotel is still the same. If the guests are male, then they will start repeating the story of the first episode.
7: Female No. 1 was "rescued" to Aksel's villa, in the photo she saw. There is a photo of Axel with the weird old man on the train. You can also see the photos of the three "soliciting" girls in the first episode.
8: After the family of Male No. 2 leaves after breakfast, there is a shot of Male No. 2 packing up the dinner plate, indicating that this person has no family status and implying his lack of masculinity.
