From the beginning, the heroine is full of guilt about her sexuality and rambles about childhood sex games. Aside from her promiscuity behind her, the content in the front is actually quite fresh and cute. A growing woman's sexual adventure, a European woman's version of American pie.
The story stops here as normal. The two narrative lines of family and social interaction vaguely explain how the heroine embarked on this "road of no return" step by step.
It is not difficult to analyze the heroine's psychology. She loves her father, but because her mother has to suppress her emotions, because this plot is seriously unsatisfactory, she tries to fill the black hole of her feelings through sex when she grows up. In the film, the heroine repeatedly said "fill my hole", which seems to be very explicit, but it can actually be understood as a frank expression of her vulnerability.
Whenever the heroine is frustrated, she desperately needs a shot to vent her emotions and hide in the joy of sex. In the heroine's world, sex has become the best substitute for love. So she asked, and kept asking. Those shocking behaviors are just the means taken by the heroine to heal herself.
However, does popping make her feel loved? the answer is negative. As she said, "it's been lonely all the time".
Until one day, she met the person she truly loves. This person once made her restrain herself, and it was this person's abandonment that made her completely indulge.
Years later, she met again, and this time he stayed.
I thought it would be a happy ending. The heroine took many detours and finally found the person who was most suitable for her.
Unexpectedly, the style of painting changed. The heroine found that only for the man she loved, she could not enjoy the pleasure of sex.
This is an interesting setting. If there is only one choice between sex and love, how should people choose? For the heroine's heart, she obviously made a sharp separation of love and sex. Can you think of it this way, in the past, in order to pursue love, she frantically used sexual intercourse as a substitute. Now that she has love, she doesn't need sensual pleasure.
Or maybe it's a test of love, where love is accepting the inadequacy of the other. And the heroine doesn't understand, she urgently needs love to satisfy herself, so although she encounters love for a short time, she walks by and drifts away.
So, pop is pop, creating the illusion of pleasure. But it is far from the kingdom of love. If there is a long-term relationship, it is also based on the fact that the parties no longer need to rely on lust or love to warm themselves.
p s. After reading it, many people mentioned feminism, saying that it is unfair for men to care and no one cares, and women to care for everyone. I don't think it's a game, nor anything to compare it to. This society is indeed tolerant of men, but whether men or women, blindly indulge themselves, and they will not enter the land of love.
