The two add up to the full story, so just comment below this movie. This is the most depressing movie about sex I've ever seen. When one is physically addicted to something, recognizing oneself will destroy everything around him, and it will be destructive, but if you obey the moral rules set by this society in order to survive, you will have to suffer the pain of denying yourself. . Joe chose the former, the debt-collected pedophile chose the latter. Only those who face this multiple-choice question understand how much pain and suffering each choice will bring. This kind of pain will not be understood by people who have no instinct and live comfortably under the social and moral system. So when joe says she sympathizes with pedophiles, seligman expresses anger and confusion, which is normal.
Seligman has always emphasized that she has no sexual desire, so she can analyze her story only from the story itself without personal bias, which also makes Joe very relaxed and can tell his story as it is. As joe said herself, after speaking, she felt very relaxed. More like a relief. So I feel that being inclusive, not biased is the best approach in this situation, and many other things as well. The way the whole story is told is interesting, with joe's story and seligman's comments interspersed with each other. Sex is interconnected with the rest of the world (nature, mathematics, humanities, arts). I was surprised at first that the connection was so natural, but in retrospect it was because it was part of the world. There are also some interesting theories in the story.
In the end, I don't know where I felt the signal, is it seligman's eyes, or is it worried that the movie is unfinished? Although the theme of the movie is very sensitive, this movie made me feel unexpectedly calm. I desperately longed to be so calm, and finally made me feel that this world still has this kind of beauty, people can really get rid of their own desires, Redeem yourself and redeem others. But the stronger the desire, the more I felt something was going to happen at the end of the film.
Sure enough, seligman was not moved and calmed by Joe's release, but for his own whim, completely disregarding the wishes of a person who just came back from hell and wanted to live a good life, he did the dirtiest thing .
In the end, the last thing I wanted to see happened, but when I think about it, I can't say it's unfinished. There are no real saints in this world unless Jesus is reincarnated. He is just an ordinary person, the part with desire and evil, which is human nature. Instead of suppressing it, he allowed himself to be swallowed by evil and turned into a demon. It's normal for joe to end a demon.
ps. one less star because seligman disillusioned me.
end.
