Our hole

After watching this movie, I was deeply moved. I want to write a film review anyway. Maybe no one will see it, but my mood is all here.
The female lead said to the male lead: "Fill all my holes." I
don’t know what you think. I feel very sad to see this sentence, because here, the female lead strongly wants to heal herself for the first time. It's a pity that the male lead cowardly lets the female lead leave her and find someone outside to fill her "hole".
The reason I strongly recommend this movie is that I feel that I see my own shadow in the heroine, of course it is not a'sex addiction', in fact, each of us has the shadow of the heroine.
Sex addiction, internet addiction, drug addiction, smoking addiction, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction, all kinds of addictions, specific to the details of life, even just watching TV, online shopping, eating snacks, making phone calls, playing games and other ordinary "addiction" , Each of us is born with a hole that is difficult to fill, we call it desire, and we suppress it all the time.
Some people have strong willpower and can suppress these desires on their own. Just like the pedophile in the movie, the hostess even admires his tenacity and gives him a blowjob in tribute. Because the heroine knows that she is a weak person, she is loyal to her desire and cannot suppress it.
I don't think this is a film that emphasizes feminism, because all the ideas about feminism were put forward by the "hypocrite." Where can justice go in the mouth of a "hypocrite"?
Throughout the article, I only saw a person who was lost in'addiction'. She enjoyed'addiction', loved'addiction', hated'addiction', lost'addiction'. Just like each of us, we are accusing ourselves every day, why I am so weak in willpower, why can't I be stronger and resist the'addiction', but we can't, because this is the true self, which is born like this.
The female protagonist was born with sex addiction. She knew how to play with her vagina when she was two years old. Before she really fell in love with someone, she simply enjoyed the pleasure without shame, guilt, pain and hesitation, so a young woman The Lord always seemed so calm and indifferent when doing things that made people shocking.
Are you condemning the heroine in your heart? Condemn her for being absurd? Condemned her for being lewd and licentious, shameless? But if you calm down and think about it, what's the big deal? Just like many people enjoy addiction to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and Internet, they are also pursuing pleasure. How many differences are there between evil and their essence?
So we do not condemn'addiction', we only ask one question, why can't you get rid of this addiction?
Many of us have addictions, all kinds of addictions, but few will ruin their lives because of these addictions.
Why can't the heroine give up the'addiction'? Why would the heroine ruin her life?
The answer movie has already told us-alone.
This is accompanied by the words of the heroine from beginning to end.
The heroine has been lonely since she was a child. Her mother always played cards, and the heroine had also played. It was a trick she used to spend time at night waiting for her “adopted daughter” to return. The Lord's mother is also very lonely, who is she waiting for? Where is her love? She cares neither for her husband nor for her daughter. She is just consuming time. It can be said that she is the primary villain who causes the loneliness of the heroine. The lack of maternal love makes the heroine inherently lonely.
Let’s talk about the heroine’s father. He is like a scholar, like a poet. He has been talking about "trees". It seems very romantic. He repeats his beautiful feelings so much that the heroine pretends that he has never listened to it. Past his clichés. I think he is ridiculous, his wife is lonely, his daughter is addicted to sex, what is he doing? He said he wanted to find his own tree of life. He said he was a beautiful white fruit tree. All the trees were jealous of the beauty of this tree. Then when the leaves fell out in autumn, he laughed at the tree with black buds. . I don't know why. I have a strong feeling when I see this. This man may be gay or impotence. He hides his black buds under the lush greenery of marriage, pretending that he is like everyone else, on the surface beautiful and perfect, in fact, after all the shades fall out, people will see him as "different".
But in the female protagonist’s heart, the father is like a tall oak tree that shades the sky, because the father is the guardian of the female protagonist. After the father’s death, the female protagonist cried bitterly while having sex with the nurse. The towering tree in her heart Li fell, and the heroine's loneliness deepened.
Then the heroine met her lover, the hero of this male movie.
From beginning to end, the director criticized this man, making him look very ridiculous and annoying.
At first his '3+5' shot in seconds, he could never repair a motorcycle, but then borrowed his uncle's mouth to reprimand him for not being responsible, leaving all abducting the secretary and ran away, and then he could not satisfy the hostess’s desires. Let her go out and find another man to fill the emptiness. Then he divorced and threw away his son. In the end, he was so embarrassed that he beat the heroine because the heroine shot him.
All this is not in vain. All this is telling the sorrow of the heroine. The heroine can fall in love with anyone, but she fell in love with an irresponsible cowardly man.
Her addiction could have been saved, because when she is with the man she loves, she can no longer go out to'make fun', and she can disappear during sex.
The disappearance of this kind of pleasure is not bad, just like a person who is usually addicted to the Internet, when he suddenly fell in love with the sport of tennis, he felt that it was no big deal not to go online for a moment. Maybe at first he will feel a great sense of loss, but after a long time, he will get rid of Internet addiction, and his body will become healthy because of playing tennis.
Indulging in addiction is because of loneliness. When you are no longer alone, this addiction will naturally weaken. If this is a strong man, if this is a responsible man, maybe with his company, the hostess will never be alone again. , She will get out of this addiction, and she will move towards happiness.
It's a pity that the man just pushed the heroine out weakly and pushed the responsibility out. He pushed the heroine into a deeper abyss, just like saying to a drug addict, "Suck it, it's nothing, I will tolerate you...
It's a pity He didn't tolerate it for too long. He quickly used his son as an excuse to get rid of marriage and responsibilities. But we can't condemn this man. People are selfish and weak. Who is qualified to condemn whom?
Then, the heroine met another important person in her life, the young, beautiful, and rebellious second woman.
The second female is a very important figure, in a way, she is like the heroine of her youth.
The hostess wanted to give up her sex addiction for a while, so she participated in a mutual aid club. After returning home, she covered up all the things that reminded her of sex. The most impressive thing was the mirror.
The hostess doesn't want to look in the mirror, because what she sees in the mirror is the real herself. She is obsessed with surnames. She likes sex. She is born like this. Why should she suppress herself? Only for the condemnation of the world? At that time, the hostess only saw herself in the mirror. When she saw the second female, what she saw was the real herself.
They are too alike, young, beautiful, family unfortunate, lonely, rebellious, and'defect'. We can see the pity of the female lead for the second female, as if pitying herself, she took her for a walk, told her about the tree, adopted her, took care of her, and even didn’t want to bring her into her own world, thinking that Very despicable.
But I don’t quite understand the second female character. In the early stage, she looked so beautiful, shining like sunlight in the heroine’s gloomy life, but in the later stage, she watched the male lead beating the female lead, and then peeed on the female lead to make her Left behind.
Maybe the second woman hated the heroine from the beginning, because she approached her with purpose, so she carefully pleased the heroine, and then avenged the heroine after gaining enough strength.
Maybe the second woman fell in love with the heroine and learned that the man she threatened was actually her husband, so she hated her, so she seduced the man to avenge the heroine.
Regardless, the second female protagonist is an extremely important turning point for the heroine, because when she met her, the heroine was trying to change herself. Because of the company of the second female, the hostess is no longer alone, and she has even given up her'addiction' because she has developed an addiction syndrome.
It’s a pity that the heroine was betrayed again. This betrayal made the heroine angry. She even saw her own'tree'. It was a twisted and ugly tree, so ugly that the heroine raised her gun. Decided to kill those who made her so ugly.
The hostess did not fire the gun, just as the old man who helped him said, the hostess didn't really plan to shoot deep down in her heart. The heroine's heart and soul are still clean, even if she is engaged in the so-called'black profession', she is also clean, because she never kills or sets fire.
Maybe in the eyes of the world, the body of the heroine is very dirty, but is it really dirty? The so-called filth is just something that is often imposed by social ethics. People who are really dirty and dark may not be spurned at all. People even respect and praise them because they look decent, successful, and rich.
Finally, I have to say, the old man who helped the heroine.
Who is this old man?
I tell you, this old man is no one else, this old man is each of us.
He is like an ordinary good man. In the middle of the winter night, he met a dying woman who fell on the ground. He was very kind, so he helped her home, gave her clean clothes, gave her a warm bed, and gave her a fragrant Food, listen to her tragic experience. He was even considerate, defending her from the point of view of the heroine, and blaming the unfairness of the society, just like everyone said, see, how awkward and disgusting society is, you are a strong man, and you must be proud of your feminist ideas. .
How high-sounding, just like his constant chatter about mathematics, art, and literature, as if he was aloft and immaculate. He stood alone in a high place, overlooking the crowd, pitying the weak, and he could even comfort the hostess with humor. Tell her that all the misfortunes you have encountered are nothing but society's fault. I support what you do. The'feminism' was overshadowed, and everything was over.
If he is really so holy and selfless, as he said, asexual, a person without desire, a pure soul, alone in a narrow attic as a philosopher and a wise man, then we also have to admire him, Maybe the heroine who was helped by him will really be saved.
Unfortunately he is not.
He is just a mortal, like each of us, suppressing his own desires. The movie satirizes us and satirizes the hypocrisy of those of us. He seems kind and enthusiastic for the sake of others. In fact, we are the foundation of this ethical society. We despise the heroine. At the same time, we are envious of the heroine and full of desire. Just like the old man yelled at last, "You have had thousands of men." What is the implication, is it different from being me the last time? Disguise, this is the difference between us and the heroine, we suppressed our desires, but the heroine did not, nothing more.
The betrayal of the seemingly good old man made the heroine really go into the darkness. What a pity, just before that, the heroine looked at the narrow sunlight on the wall and said, even if there is only a one-millionth chance, she must give up this Kind of addiction, like a strong man.
Therefore, I don't think this film is a statement on feminism. On the contrary, the film is stating the weakness of women and they need care and protection, and the film states eternal love and redemption. Without love, there is no redemption.
Also, regarding the initial, our hole, everyone has a hole in their body, born with it, it is up to us to decide whether it is filling or depressing.
However, I want to say that repression is always better than filling. Just as a great man said, in a given environment, we have to follow the rules, not challenge them, otherwise we will be buried by unmatched rules.
This sentence may be very negative, but it is a kind of wisdom in life. We have to bow to the rules instead of letting the rules bow to us, because colliding with the rules will make us bloodless, and there is not so much in this world to contend with. Rules of extraordinary people.
Finally, on how to suppress our hole, the movie has already given us the answer.
Try not to be alone.
If you are a person who is addicted to'addiction', if you feel guilty of your addiction, if you spurn such a self, then try to get yourself out of loneliness.
Maybe you would say that loneliness is not something that can be easily separated. The heroine in the movie is lonely with countless men. She is always lonely and finds the love. She is still lonely, trying to save herself, becoming more lonely, and finally desperate in loneliness, heading towards the abyss and dark. The movie does not tell us the answer, it does not explain how to make us no longer alone.
Then I will tell you an answer.
Don't escape, face loneliness.

    The second is a sudden impotence, and this film almost projected Ruth's entire creative career, soaring into the sky and plummeting.

    The first part did not see the intention, and the second part was all shaken out. It is basically a malicious mockery of feminism's use of "sex" as a weapon for self-liberation and men's struggle for social discourse power. It is still the standard Nazi-style fictional masochistic logic as an argument to support his vicious attack on feminism. . Just like Hitler set fire to the Reichstag and blamed the German Communist Party, regardless of the purpose, the means alone are really indecent.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II quotes

  • Joe: Each time a word becomes prohibited, you remove a stone from the Democratic foundation. Society demonstrates its impotence in the face of a concrete problem by removing words from the language. And I say that society is as cowardly as the people in it, who in my opinion are also too stupid for democracy.

  • Joe: The human qualities can be expressed in one word: Hypocrisy. We elevate those who say "right" but mean "wrong" and mock those who say "wrong" but mean "right." By the way, I can assure you that women who claim that negros don't turn them on, they're lying.
