Hellen, Anthony's pregnant wife. When she appeared on the stage, she wore a white dress and short golden hair to look neat and fresh, but her next behavior was surprising. After Anthony answered Adam's call, he went to the kitchen to cook for Hellen, who relentlessly questioned who Anthony was. Anthony is actually a man who claims to be his fan. Hellen didn't believe it at all, accused Anthony of lying, and Anthony ended the conflict by saying I was going out for a walk. It can be seen that there is a lack of necessary trust between the couple. After Anthony left, Hellen immediately went to get the phone, trying to find out who the caller was, but the phone showed Unkown User. She didn't give up. In the middle of the night, while Anthony was sleeping, she slipped out of bed quietly, opened her husband's pocket, and found a note with Adam's name in Anthony's name. He opened the notebook again, found Anthony's browsing history, and locked Adam's work unit. So the next day, a miraculously big belly appeared in front of Adam. Yes, Hellen is such a resolute woman, even though it was just a phone call from a strange man, she went to someone else's office. . . .
Seeing Adam who is exactly like her husband, hellen called anthony in surprise. The phone was connected, "what's up honey?" anthony asked, hellen didn't answer, just hung up the phone silently, since then, hellen has become a taciturn ice beauty. Facing hellen who was sobbing silently, anthony was extremely depressed (he didn't see Adam at this time, he was completely in the dark)... hellen told anthony about Adam, by this time, Anthony had to Face to face with Adam, the conflict is about to break out. . In any case, it can be seen that Hellen is a very controlling woman.
Look at the mother in the film again. In the film, he meets Anthony once, and Adam, who is on the verge of collapse, goes to his mother for help. This paragraph is very important. First of all, the person who goes to the mother in the film must be Adam. (Adam didn't undress and didn't like blueberries). The mother in this episode is very strong. She didn't believe Adam's words at all, thinking that Anthony was Adam's fantasy of becoming a third-rate actor, forced Adam to eat blueberries, and said without doubt: You are my only son, I am your only mother. Adam's plea for help fails, and the final conflict is coming.
These two characters are characters throughout the play. At the beginning of the film, Adam (Anthony) is listening to his mother complaining on the phone, and Hellen, who has a big belly, looks back. It can be said that both Adam and Anthony are dying under the control of the role of mother or wife. No matter what choice, no personality can escape the fate of being controlled. The spider in the film appears three times, the little spider in the porn club, the spider who roams over the city after failing to ask her mother for help, and finally, the last magic stroke - when Adam plans to go to the club again, hellen becomes the big man in the room. Spider. In the director's words, the desire for control represented by the spider is clearly expressed. In the last scene, in the face of such a squeaking, condescending and aggressive spider, I think everyone felt the unspeakable despair beneath Gyllenhaal's surprised expression.
about other characters. The real characters in the film are fully explained in the subsection before the opening of the film: Adam (Anthony) (we use this to mean real characters), his mother, Hellen. At the beginning of the film, Adam and Anthony are two main lines that can develop completely independently. The middle is gradually tightened, and the switching between the two is getting faster and faster until they become one. There is no clear distinction between primary and secondary personalities between Adam and Anthony. Anthony is more like Adam's "ideal personality", so Anthony is a well-known and handsome actor, lives in a beautiful house, loves his wife immensely, and eats organic blueberries. . . . So this kind of personality satisfies everything Adam (Anthony) asks of himself, his mother to himself, and his girlfriend to him. This is the impression that Anthony left us in the first half of the film, a good husband, a good son, a good man. Of course, this ideal personality is not necessarily the standard ideal personality in traditional morality, it is just the ideal personality in Adam (Anthony)'s own mind (such as occupying Adam's girlfriend). Everything Anthony does is what Adam (Anthony) really wants to do. Of course, this ideal personality must want to be controlled or not. When this personality conflicts with external control (Hellen, Adam), it will inevitably lead to a choice. Whether to choose the ideal personality or accept control. . . After killing Anthony, didn't Adam open the envelope again and take out the key?
Finally, let's end with the mantra of Professor Adam in the film, thank you for this awesome film. They (dictatorships) censor any means of individual experession . And it's important to remember this, that it's a pattern that repeats itself throughtout history .
Dictators censor all ways of self-expression.
