From "Stoke", I saw the growth of a young girl, and her nature was released on this road. The family genes in her heart have been latent, and at the same time, her uncle's induction has made her grow up. Park Chan-wook's film continues his usual style, showing us her changes both physically and psychologically. Her upbringing was reflected psychologically. At Dad's funeral, India's flat shoes contrasted sharply with Mom's high heels. One was a girl and the other was a mature woman. So when she puts on high heels, it not only symbolizes her psychological growth process, but also implies the liberation of her inner nature. In the bathroom, she took off the long dress she wore when she was a girl and put on silk pajamas. This was a change in clothing, but also a change in her heart. The director highlights her changes and inner desires through a lot of red in her mother's room. Clothes and shoes are not just objects. For her, these are indispensable things in her growth process. The changes in clothes are used to metaphorize Indi. Ya psychological growth, her psychology began to mature. India's growth is not only reflected in the psychological, but also in the physical. The spider is a very important prop in this film. It runs through the entire growth process of India. The change of the spider's position reflects the physiological changes of India: Sexual desire buds, climaxes when near uncle, spider flees when uncle is killed. After the spider escapes, her sexual fantasies come to an end. . She masturbated in the bathroom after she partnered to kill someone, and reached an orgasm. At this time, India has completed her physical growth. Sex is the key to transforming into a mature woman. India's inner desire for sex is very strong, and the arousal of sexual desire is so natural in the film. The film does not use sexual intercourse between men and women to express India's physical growth, but expresses it through the metaphor of spiders and masturbation, which is implicit but not explicit. The name of the film is "Stoke". India was given the surname "Stoke" when she was born, "like the color of a flower, there is no choice", her inner genes have long been determined . Her temperament is eccentric and gloomy, causing India's growth not only because of her age, but also because of her age, people must also mature, but also because of the blood she flows, her growth is inevitable. Another important factor is Uncle Charlie's induction of India. Charlie is a "cold-blooded killer" in the film. He tried his best to make India grow up. But in my opinion, Charlie may just want to "atone" when he first approached India. He killed his younger brother when he was young, so he didn't see his family again for many years. He wanted to make up for it all, but this kind of Compensation was not accepted. Before killing his brother, he said that "people who can't be brought home are considered family members." His heart is fragile, and everyone's attitude towards her made him release the desire to kill in his heart, and in the process of slowly liberating his nature, India's growth has also liberated India's nature. The fate that she could not choose, and the temptation of her uncle who was the incarnation of the viper in the Garden of Eden forced her to grow up. This was something she could not change, and growth was inevitable. From the moment her inner nature was released, she has completed her own growth and completed the inheritance of the Stoke family.
