Born alone but resist

In every move of the heroine, what I feel the most is loneliness.

No one in this movie cares about your feelings at all. A man's duty is to fill the hole as long as he sees it, but the emptiness of the soul can be filled by the body. The part of her father's death was really sad and sad. The only person she cared about was gone, and she still hadn't found her soul. Later, when she found the Crooked Neck Tree, she was very moved. There was a moment in her life that would not be filled by anyone else, and she found herself instead.

Later, when J's love came, it filled the heroine's heart, so another kind of compensatory pleasure failed. But her way of life has not changed. It may be the habit of defining her identity that she has accumulated all the time. If she doesn't have this characteristic, what can she use to survive and resist society bravely.

The old virgin is indeed a moral role model who is bound to be knocked down, because the gap between him and the men in real life is too great, how could someone live such a lifetime and still be completely out of the mud. What's more, the heroine said it through the mouth of the heroine. This is only one in a million people who can have no sexual desire at all. Since the heroine has always used sin to describe herself, she must not be washed clean all at once. Life is not so easy. of. Moreover, in fact, there is no sin to be washed away. What's the point of going from addiction to the extreme of pure desire.

Of course, the feminist color of this film is also very strong. The old critics said that if it was replaced by a man, I am afraid that it would be ordinary and obscure, and while you are suffering from social criticism, you have to pursue pleasure for yourself. So tormented. Women can also use their physical characteristics to resist society from another perspective. Sex is not a weakness. Women are not always victims, but also weapons.

Well, even though she has read countless men and overcomes all obstacles, she is still quite lonely.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II quotes

  • Joe's Father: I've found my tree. My soul tree. And no, it's not that one, okay, 'cause then I would be dead.

    [shows Joe a large oak tree]

    Joe's Father: This is my tree.

    Joe - 10 Years: It's not an ash tree.

    Joe's Father: No, it's an oak tree.

    Joe - 10 Years: It has two trunks.

    Joe's Father: Yeah, isn't it great? It shows itself to both sides, the lake and the forest.

    Joe - 10 Years: But, dad, how does a tree get two trunks?

    Joe's Father: The most common reason is that the top broke when it was very young.

    Joe - 10 Years: That means that you've been broken once. Have you, dad?

    Joe's Father: [long pause] It seems that it can be rather revealing... to find your soul tree.

  • [opening narration for "The Gun"]

    Joe: Whether I left society or it left me, I cannot say. I suppose you can make an argument for both sides. I was on my way to the shady side of the debt collecting business, which, among other things, involved stuff like burning people's cars.
