Linking the front and back, I personally think that there is only one explanation that makes sense: this is actually a story about an incestuous relationship between a brother and a sister, but the director is too witty, it is about the ability of the public to accept, and it is impossible to add any outrageous language into it. You can't add a single point, so it's impossible for you to see the "spark" between siblings. Even if you say that you saw an ambiguous or inappropriate, and caught the "overtones" between the two, other moviegoers will Refute, so the audience sees what they see as what they see. You say that the theme is sex addiction and shame, and I say it is love and shame. Different opinions.
My sister has always acted very dependent on others. Including calling and crying to keep a relationship, and after 419 with her brother's boss, she left a message for each other, she seemed very vulnerable emotionally. But this is actually probably related to her brother's attitude towards her. According to her, her brother never wanted to contact her. No matter how many times she called, her own brother refused to contact her, which made her feel very sad. When she was hurt and helpless, she always wanted to go back to her brother, but her brother was always angry with her, and for no reason, she didn't know why her brother was angry. In the end, my brother said a lot of cruel words, which made her worthless, making her think that in her brother's eyes, she was nothing, promiscuous, emotionally fragile, and really could only hold back others, and the reason why her brother was angry and did not contact her It's all because I hate her and don't want to have anything to do with her. She has always wanted to contact her brother, rely on her brother, and hope that her brother likes the songs she sings, but her long-term refusal to contact her, her disapproval, and her indifference finally swept her out of the house, causing her to fall into despair countless times. Once true.
On the other hand, my brother was looking for a one-night stand on the subway, recruiting prostitutes, filling the computer with all kinds of pornographic films that stimulated nerves, and chatting naked with people online, but there was no enjoyment at all, not even a slightly happy smile. No matter how my sister leaves a message, she will definitely ignore it. Usually brothers and sisters are so isolated from each other and have no contact at all, usually just because the two people have a major festival, discord, or have some previous family problems, but there is no between them, which is one of the points of discord in the film. Seeing two people getting along, when my sister moved in on her own initiative and asked to stay, my brother just couldn't resist her coquettishness. He begged my brother to listen to her singing at the subway station, but my brother finally went. In many scenes, she snuggled on his brother's shoulder coquettishly , It can be seen that the elder brother actually loves the younger sister. In this case, why not contact him? Unless he is afraid of contact, he wants to avoid what the contact might induce. Maybe it's an unacceptable desire to shame yourself.
From the perspective of his brother, he avoided contact with his sister and sought strong sexual stimulation in his life. He would have achieved the numbness he wanted in his life, but the sudden appearance of his sister disrupted this balance. The first scene when brothers and sisters meet, facing the naked body of the sister, but not shy at all, the two of them just stand there chatting, maybe the sister is too open and doesn't care? Or maybe it's not the first time I've run into it, I'm afraid of what, I'm used to it? Then, in a small gesture, he picked up his sister's scarf with a baseball bat, closed his eyes and sniffed. This kind of action is more logical for the ex-girlfriend's objects. For example, smelling the girl's hair and clothes, usually a brother can't do it to his sister, but he will pick it up and throw it away. The younger sister was on the phone next door, begging bitterly to keep a relationship, but obviously the other party didn't appreciate it. The elder brother was distressed but unable to express it, jealous but unable to speak, but silently transformed into anger towards the younger sister and suppressed it. He didn't want his sister to stay at his place, seeing and hearing this was a huge torture for him, but when his sister begged to hug him from behind, he softened again. He didn't dare to take the initiative to go to the bar to listen to his sister sing, and to sing the most beautiful voice when she was dressed in the most stunning fashion, but after her sister's repeated begging, he still compromised and went, even in front of his own boss. Hold back the tears, especially when your sister sings "it's up to you" (it's all up to you). And his sister asked him how he sang, but he didn't dare to express his true thoughts. When his married boss and sister got together, he didn't really "interrogate" from the bar until he got home. Generally, he didn't show the protectiveness of his brother to his sister. He didn't stop the boss and say "You're married." What, but he said he really didn't care, so why couldn't he stay at home at all, instead he came out in the middle of the night and ran a huge long-distance run? He doesn't know what kind of mentality he should use to intervene in this matter. If he just regards himself as a brother, it should be very simple, but what if he can't bear more than superficial indulgence? What if he felt madly jealous and angry that he not only didn't allow him to fuck with married men, but wanted to protect his sister from anyone touching her, and wanted to take it for himself? If he has this idea, then the only choice is to suppress, to suppress himself infinitely, to endure, to avoid, to choose to ignore it, and to choose to escape from his apartment.
The younger sister may not feel the same way, she just likes sticking to her brother very much. She rushed into the bathroom without boundaries and saw her brother masturbating. She didn't care that she got into her brother's bed because of the cold. But for my brother, he couldn't bear this kind of behavior that broke the boundaries. He never dared to express what he really wanted. He suffered too much pain to keep his distance and play down the temptation. When his behavior broke the boundaries, he could only become extremely manic and angry, yelling at his sister in the bed "Get out", and angrily suppressing her on the sofa and yelling, "What the hell do you want, do you want to try this? "?" My sister thought he was just angry and wanted to fight, and didn't understand why he was so angry. (PS: He was clearly chatting naked with a woman. As usual, he should be masturbating directly at the computer and looking at the other person’s body, but he didn’t. He left the computer on the table and ran to the bathroom to masturbate. God knows he has naked women to see why. He has to use his imagination to arouse his desires, unless the image in his mind that excites him can only be his sister, so it is the sister who finds out that he will be ashamed to that extent). And he pressed his sister on the sofa, and even the bath towel slipped off. Almost at the moment when he was about to cross the border, his sister's reaction was obviously different from the feeling he wanted. She didn't understand his manic and out of control. , just screaming "You hurt me, you lunatic". Knowing it was impossible, never possible, he let go of her, shut himself back to the bathroom, and slammed the door hard. Including when his sister begged to move in, what he said was "what are you expecting". What he has been expressing is "what do you want, what do you want", I have avoided, endured, and retreated to this extent, or I can't avoid your temptation, what do you want to torture me to? To what extent are you willing to give up? (You little brat with no nerves and no brains...I never thought my brother would be such a jerk and have such a shameful thought...)
What really made him break out was when he endured all of this and behaved normally, sitting on the sofa staring at the cartoon, but what he heard was when his sister called the boss to pester him. He turned everything into anger, no longer doting and caring eyes, but turned himself into an extremely cold, vicious bastard, saying that his sister had no career, no action, her sex life was a mess, pinched her face and said She was holding her back, saying that she didn't need to be responsible for her at all, and that he wanted her to move out immediately, and he was using every possible means - cruelty, indifference, sarcasm, demeaning - to scare his sister away, otherwise he would Falling into the "trap of pitiful appearance" by his sister and being led away by her, he is forced to continue this "cohabitation life" that makes him extremely painful. "You harmed me, you forced me into a corner, you harmed me", this kind of reason for anger that seemed very nonsensical to my sister was taken for granted by him. The superficial words have deep meanings, but the other party who doesn't know the details has no way to understand how deep the pain and helplessness are hidden in these words. He has been intertwined with desire, fear, shame, depression, pain, etc. Wait until it reaches the limit. He thought that by driving her away, life would return to the way it was before. In order to reduce the contradictions, pain and shame in his heart, he never went home, went out to bars to molest other women, recruited prostitutes for threesomes, and went to gay bars to find men for stimulation. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he was faced with the suicide of his sister. Holding his younger sister in a pool of blood, he was trembling all the time, no matter how much he showed his own hatred, disgust, or caring to her sister, at this time, he would completely reveal his true self. Fortunately, my sister was rescued. Looking at the many wounds on her hands, it proved that she did not want to commit suicide once. If she was driven away again, and she insisted on not contacting her as before, the same suicide would repeat itself. Losing his sister is only a matter of time, so the rescue of the sister is not only a relief that he did not die, but also represents that the balance mechanism of "escape from the shame of his sister" that he has worked hard to establish for many years will no longer exist, and he has no way to escape. In the end, in the rain, he cried helplessly, knelt on the ground, and expressed the pain and depression that a man can endure from an incestuous relationship to the extreme.
When all this was explained, I suddenly found out that it was a good movie, with a bleak surface and even "malicious display" of the plot of a depraved life, subtly buried in a large number of incongruous details, which can match any human nature, but cannot To escape from the love of a person, no matter how much love is, can never speak, dare not approach, this deep depression and sense of contradiction, shame, can't even be expressed by reciting lines, because there is no such lines, can only be silent. The performance can make people see the contradiction between wealth and unhappiness, the contradiction between promiscuity and emotional disorder, and the contradiction between love and rejection, so as to rise to the perspective of love and ethics, which is very tempting to think deeply and can lead to different viewpoints. A heated debate between the different voices of the filmmakers over the sensitive topic of sibling love. Deep love and pain are not clearly expressed by sex and inability, nor can they be settled by physical stimulation. In the absence of very obvious suggestive lines related to the main line, the male protagonist can win the best actor award. Wandering in vain. Since the topic is not only sensitive and unspeakable for the person involved, but even in real life, including those who write the film review as a matter of no concern (onlookers like me), just interpreting the film as this may lead to a lot of damage The slander and abuse of the opposing voices, if too little hint is given, most people will think that they are thinking too much about that aspect, and if too much hint is given, most people will directly say that the film itself is too perverted, and blatantly promote this kind of inconvenience. Lunzhilian, most people are always used to conform to the majority, and only allow others to conform to the majority. In order not to cause unnecessary devaluation, this is just a movie, so under the director's layers of camouflage and wrapping, there are not many clues. The fringe film is brilliant.
