It’s not really a movie review, I don’t have professional knowledge, and I don’t have any artistic background. I just like watching pervert killer movies. ?Hey, record it by the way and reminisce about it.
The famous perverted serial killers in history have some commonalities, and the male protagonist Jack in this room is no exception. Let me first analyze the necessary conditions for him to become a perverted killer one by one: (There will be spoilers)
1. Lack of family warmth and love. He himself said that he is relatively unfamiliar with the warmth of the family, which leads to his lack of love and lack of correct emotional guidance, so he also has a personality disorder, and he cannot show the expressions and emotions of normal people, which further leads to his lack of empathy. There will be no remorse.
2. Childhood cruelty to small animals. As a child, he cut off the duckling's legs with pliers and put them back in the water, smiling and watching it struggle and bleed. It shows that he has low self-esteem, and gains a sense of accomplishment by controlling creatures that are much weaker than him. He also paints his inferiority complex as narcissism and arrogance, but from the victims he chooses (all are less intelligent women, he says there are men, but he only tells about two little boys, still weaker than him) See, he is arrogant.
3. Sexual disorder or difficulty in intercourse with the opposite sex. In the first incident, it is obvious that the jack is Jack in English, and the broken jack implies the male protagonist's sexual function problem. And it's interesting that the jack breaks after being repaired. He should have felt happy when he finally killed the poor woman with a broken mouth with a jack.
4. Have serious cleanliness addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder. To a certain extent, this reflects that he has a psychological disorder, and in the process of killing, he has a feeling that his obsessive-compulsive disorder is recovering. In the second incident, he risked being discovered by the police and had to return to the homicide scene over and over again to check and wipe. And in such a stimulating feeling, he thought he was powerful.
BTW, would like to say more about the second incident. First, he claimed that he had verbal superiority, but from the performance of the second incident, it was obvious that he did not, which further confirmed his narcissism and inferiority complex. Secondly, he chose to strangle the victim with both hands. He liked the feeling of absolute power control, and he was fascinated by the feeling of the opponent losing his life gradually under his hands. It's something that he can't experience in his life or in other areas.
The boundary line problem in the first incident and the pouring rain in the second incident made him feel that God was helping him. This was definitely the director's intention, and it was quite dramatic.
5. Most importantly, he inherited a large estate. There's also a perfect freezer for him to store corpses. Otherwise, working from 9 to 5, taking another shift, and starting a side business for a living, I see where he gets the time and energy to kill!
In the middle of the whole film, the director is testing the bottom line of the audience. Let's talk about the whole film that made me physically uncomfortable, nauseated and disgusted.
He used the powerless women and two children as prey, enjoying the game of cat and mouse, killing these three people ruthlessly, and insulting the corpses (it can be said here that perverted killers usually place specific specialties on the corpses. Some of them are to vent their anger with hatred, and some are to show their uniqueness, but they are actually self-abased and seeking attention). Including the poor girl who the male protagonist said he really loved, he complained why it was all men who were guilty in the end, and he cut one of the symbols of sexual organs, breasts, and made them into daily necessities. It was his impotence and inferiority complex. performance of love. The most disgusting thing for me is that he still wants to disguise his perversion as art! ! ! Including posing for corpses, making corpse specimens, etc. At that time, I really felt sick physically... It's too deep into the play, I hhhhh...
Then I'll talk about three points where I care~
1. This room is not that room. The male protagonist owns a piece of land and always wanted to build a house by himself, but he overturned it twice. Looking at the model, both times were bungalows. But in the end, what he pushed up with the corpse was a steeple house. Combined with the Gothic buildings that appeared earlier in the film, it was more like a church. I don't know much about religion, but this should represent something,
2. When the perverted male protagonist was practicing his expressions in front of the mirror, some powerful film friends found that there was a photo in the lower left corner of the director, hahahaha naughty. But this may reflect the psychology of some directors. ?
3. The thing that makes me unable to take my eyes off the most is the last ten minutes of the film. It is Jack's journey to hell. Although it looks like a five-point special effect and AV quality, it is full of mystery and attraction, and I don't want to miss a second. They swam across that river, and my first reaction was my mother's amniotic fluid. In the end, there is no doubt that Jack will choose to take risks, because after seeing the so-called paradise, he is not guilty and arrogant, and he must think that he has a chance to climb over the wall and go to heaven from the other side of the bridge. Think beautifully! This should also be the director's desire to survive? ? If he doesn't fall, then as an audience, I'm really going to be depressed hhh.
In fact, at the beginning, the reason why I didn’t know what to do was because I strongly wanted to see the road at the other end of the bridge and what was going out. But then I figured out that if there is heaven on the other side, it will appear, what you think of heaven. The heaven that Jack saw was his favorite picture when he was a child, the picture that destroyed life (grass), but was full of vitality (the rhythmic breathing of workers).
This film made me want to learn about the art of painting, religious culture, and philosophy. ?
