It is indeed a masterpiece worth
watching
The strength and warmth of
this film completely subverted my understanding of men. I
don’t know if it’s artistic exaggeration or what
. Although it doesn’t exclude Jiyou or Lala,
it is still difficult to resonate with the culture. For
example, how can the pure nun Lusa be liked Attracted by a man like Lola? even conceived a child?
Even when Lusa's mother found out that Lola was her son-in-law, what was
the charm of calling Lola a "monster" and a "monster"?
In this movie, all the women are "normal" in the traditional sense,
but the men who appear are all strange: the
client
transgender (Lola)
the transgender (Ayue) the
corpse (the heroine's dead son Esther Ban)
Babies (the heroine's adopted son Esther Ban, born with HIV)
Demented patients (Lusa's father) Demonized
men abound So what is the director metaphorizing through these "monsters"? Maybe the one around you who rapes your body and mind every day? Or the one who has quirks of his own but demands your traditional duties? Or the one who needs your constant care like a child? Or, one day those males will be reborn and "miraculously" healed in a death-like manner with the hidden nature of his inevitable other half .
