The power of lust

I originally gave this movie 2 stars because I thought this movie was vulgar and vulgar. Later, I realized that I was actually annoyed that I was played by the director.
This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Michael Haneke's obscenity. Not only that, but the film was already released by this guy in Europe in 1997, and 10 years later, Naomi Watts and Tim Roth, two popular American powerhouses, were abused in their favorite stories.
There is no need to say much about the content of the film, but the most tangled thing in the film is undoubtedly the magic remote control. When the hostess slammed a pervert to kill a pervert, the audience, who had been suppressed for a long time, would definitely spew out of the bottle like a long-held Coke, so happy, and even cheered and applauded. Because when I saw this, I scolded me happily cao! Then I waited and watched how the other remaining man in white was as helpless as the little kid who lost the toffee. However, at this moment, that very magical remote control appeared. Just like reading the latest archive after Game Over, the perverts in white chose the right path, and the perverts cleared the level.
Haneke's handling of this scene is undoubtedly challenging the audience's psychological limits. What's worse, it seems to be manipulating the audience's brains, one by one, dull, yearning for miracles and beautiful brains. And the audience with the dream of Happy Ending realized that they were on the wrong boat. Because of the pimple in my heart that I can't stretch for a long time and the discovery that I am also a beautiful young man, I give Haneke a middle finger here.
The more words are said, the further and further away from the theme: the power of obscenity.
Although it has been scolded so much, the film still conveys a kind of ability of the director - the ability that everyone has, the obscenity. In the film, the two polite and gentle young men in white shirts are the entities of lust, and all they do is actually when we usually stare at someone in a daze, or hide in bed alone What's going on in your head when you cover your head. Maybe the content is different, but in fact, the same goal is achieved by different paths. There are not many people like Haneke who can impose his evil lust on the audience at will on the screen. Quentin is okay, but his trash talk makes people feel cute. Gus Van Sant can't be as bizarre as the beauty of his shots. Only this time, I was thoroughly played by Haneke, this old man's skill is really extraordinary. When I think of the equally shameless "Piano Teacher" I watched a year ago, I realize that this bad old man with weird taste can still cause the viewers to think.
