The ego is an abyss that can only be filled by oneself

Hmm... Anyway, my feeling after reading it is that it is not as "disgusting" as I imagined? I originally thought that the beginning of the freshman admission process was just a transition, and then it would be full of blood, but I was wrong, there are really few bloody scenes. On the contrary, the theme is also very positive... This is really fresh enough in a horror movie. The director is a pretty young new director who looks like a French girl at first glance. At the beginning of the film, the freshman was teased by the teacher for the psychedelic color of electronic music. I almost thought it was a fake documentary. The whole film is not so much a horror film as it is a documentary about the growth of college freshmen, but a little more - the heroine has a little hobby of eating raw. Among a group of freshmen who have just entered the veterinary school, while being squeezed by the old students, they are anxious to indulge themselves. The heroine seems out of place. She still maintains the character of a good girl and studies hard. When her gay roommate wants to copy her papers, she even covers it up and says "it's actually very simple", hahahaha. I have always felt that the heroine's sister has an inescapable responsibility for the heroine to discover the potential of cannibalism. If the heroine was forced to eat raw rabbit kidneys for the first time (like this thing...), if the sister could say that the heroine was a vegetarian, the heroine might not know that she could actually eat meat, and it was still raw meat , and preferably raw human flesh. The heroine will continue to live in such abstinence. But think about it calmly. Since there is this gene, the desire for meat will be discovered sooner or later. It may be better to find it early. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. The sister's feelings for the heroine are complicated. On the one hand, she is tired of the heroine's academic tyrant + simple character design. She is not used to the heroine's just coming to the university. Instead of protecting the heroine, she is suspected of dragging the heroine into the water. Contact later took her to the road to eat people; on the other hand, after she found out that the heroine also has the characteristics of cannibalism, the heroine ate her finger and she didn't tell others, this is part of her sister's love for the heroine. This kind of performance... I can't understand her feelings, maybe a woman's feelings are complicated and tortuous. The heroine and the elder sister are still different, the difference lies in the control of carnivorous desire (beast desire?). After the sister found out, she went to eat people on the road. Well, the scene at the beginning of the movie may be her; and the heroine restrained herself. In the contradiction between animal desire and human nature, she insisted on human nature and completed her growth. In addition to animal desires, the director also expressed some sexual desires. The dress that my sister gave to the heroine, the heroine wearing it is a subtle expression. Forget which writer said that the ego is an abyss. This abyss can only be filled by oneself. I think the heroine slowly fills the abyss in the process. she did not The door was locked with a key. She didn't kill her sister. She washed away the blood that ate the heroine's boyfriend left on her sister's body. She stuck her face bitten by her sister on the glass window. There are a few scenes that are unexplainable, which of course is a metaphor. For example, at the beginning, the new students were forced to climb through a sloping and narrow passage by the old students; for example, the heroine seemed to be whipped under the quilt; oh, yes, and the skirt given by my sister, etc.
