#electriclight phantom# "The Skin of My Residence", a boulder in my heart, after the horror, it is full of loss.
The longing for the performance of the film "The Skin of My Residence" has been buried in my heart for a long time, but it is a regret that I have never had the opportunity. And this regretful make up was finally satisfied at the 2018 Beijing International Film Festival. Sitting under the big screen, I waited earnestly for the screening of this film.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The shocking world I want to see is not obvious in this film. Although fornication, incest, sex change, revenge, all kinds of scenes are staged in turn, and the attitude of watching challenges everyone again and again. The bottom line, but frankly speaking, this is still a regular work that can be seen in the elegant hall, it just involves more ethical attitudes and extreme handling, but from the perspective of the big scenery, it is relatively stable.
But if you touch all kinds of bottom lines, this film actually has endless content that can be felt.
Robert, a middle-aged plastic surgeon, has a strong desire to control his wife and Zeka who came to take refuge in a car accident while eloping. Zeka fled, and his wife Vera suffered extensive burns and stayed at home to recuperate until one day she was in Seeing his terrifying appearance in the glass window, he collapsed and jumped out of the window and died, dying in front of his daughter and scaring her into a madness.
The daughter, who has been unable to live and socialize normally, has become the new object of father Robert's control. On the way to promote her socialization, the daughter had an accident and was almost raped. In the days to come, this man who indulged the desire for rape And Robert, completed the whole story climax. A battle under the guise of revenge opened the prelude to punishment, from the victory of violence, to the confusion of gender, to the transformation of the skin, to the fall of psychology, to the blurring of stepping on each other, it eventually became a kind of counterattack.
There are too many details and subtleties in the film that need to be interpreted a little bit. Such as the rules and regulations that human beings are bound to, such as the secularity and cover-up of marriage, attitudes about betrayal and revenge, about vaginoplasty, about control and Stockholm syndrome, and the positive and negative aspects of human nature and gender, etc. , Every one that is brought out for discussion is endless and endless, so although the film itself is not made into a certain high-level sense of quality, the intricate depth is buried in a street.
In the film, such as Zeka, who eloped with his wife, the strange connection with the male host, the secret of the housekeeper who was loyal to Robert, the gorgeous appearance and secret activities of the dead wife, these hidden clues. The content has a lot of interesting meanings, and it is often too late to ponder carefully when watching the movie, but after thinking about it, it is full of aftertastes. The attitudes and choices of the characters in the play, to a large extent, express a person's social concept and attitude towards life, and the greater the controversy, the greater the significance.
It should be said that the disappointment when I first saw the film was the implicit expression of the straight line, which was more important than expected, but the form of the expression itself is not important. What matters is the meaning behind the expression, which is actually intriguing.
The outer skin of the social attributes of human society is really the best clothing and the strongest skin, decorating both the good and the bad. Perfection is not what you really look like, but your effort to be perfect.
The old Spanish guy is still charming. Beauty is justice. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, I'll just stand by him.
