The relationship between men and women is a disguise and a metaphor. Lars Von Trier was talking about himself. He wants something, just wants something, he has to bear the shame in his heart, and then because of the desire to do something big, he keeps falling. It just seems to be different from what others want, as if it is very serious. In fact, sometimes I can’t tell whether I’m different from what others want, but the feeling of “inappropriate and unclean” is extremely serious. This "different" is really just a feeling, like a fear of sheep being in a pack of wolves. Although other people are sheep, but somehow, he believes that there will be wolves and bad luck. No matter how calm on the surface, my heart trembles uncontrollably because of self-loathing. How can a person who is trembling and swishing is not tragic. An unclean person is of course a tragedy! If it is not a tragedy, the world will turn it into a tragedy! Inadequency is a problem in the world, and big directors have to go around such a big curve to express their powerlessness.
Seligman and joe are the same kind of person, seemingly a frigidity and a sex addiction. One characteristic of Joe's sex addiction is that she cannot be passionate about the only man she loves. This is the fear of intimacy, and because of this, she lost her favorite. The thing she feared most happened: the man successfully combined with another woman, and then the woman insulted her. Seligman did it more thoroughly. In order to avoid the mess of intimacy, simply don't want sex. In the end, Seligman's actions also hinted that he was not really sexually cold, he was just scared. When finally plucking up the courage to "be yourself", he was shot to death. This is exactly the same as the heroine, the epitome of the whole story. When the heroine continues to grow up and satisfies herself no matter what, her fate is miserable anyway. Many people say that the ending is rushed and inexplicable, and that the reaction is Seligman's hypocrisy. In fact, the ending is very make sense, and it is reasonable that it is not new: it is Joe herself (at least the attempt suicide) that died, not necessarily really successful. Perhaps. Was she "killing" her old self and changed it? Inspirational stories and dark stories are ambiguous, I really like this.). I suspect that Seligman was imagined by Joe, they are one, split into two people. This is not important. What is important is that the director put them together and spent more than two hours in front of the audience. Anyway, he just wanted to say that they are the same. This has nothing to do with men and women, Lars Von Trier is Joe. What's interesting is that Seligman was killed by the heroine, that is, committing suicide. This shame caused the heroine to execute himself instead of others. The hostess has been messed up, and to be precise, Ras Von Tir has been messed up. He can't tell whether the reason for his misery is his own uncleanness, his own fear, or the intolerance of others. After the extreme tragedy, you either die or change your appearance. The movie, it's just to leave a fortune.
There are many large-scale shots in this film, but I can't see sex, only the escape of imperfection. I expected to be high. Whether they are hiding in sex or in books, they are just as neurotic and cannot trust the world. This ostrich attitude is often developed in childhood and is related to the native family. . . Forget it, it's psychoanalysis again, I don't say I guess everyone can guess it. Lars Von Trier is probably tired of listening to this set, but it doesn't mean he doesn't agree with it. This is a change from his previous films. Sex addiction, an insulting name for nyphomania, is a transplant of Lars Von Trier’s past experience of being insulted. However, he has not disclosed the specific experience. Regardless of what it was, his actions threatened him.
Strangely, "Female Addict" is full of hope, because there is no clear destruction. I thought that in the end the heroine would die miserably by a stupid accident, but she only definitely died partly, what about the other part? Lars Von Trier didn't know it himself.
