I read a lot of comments saying that I can't understand such a neurotic view of love. In my opinion, this is not a movie that celebrates such love, but a critique of this small town's paranoid teachings, or a certain one of them. Criticism of the Imprisonment of Human Sexuality, or the Criticism of the Imprisonment of Female Sexuality. In the name of teachings, the people of the small town use this paranoid and alienated form of isolation to imprison the integrity of women in this small town in order to achieve obedience and loyalty to men. Loyalty is true, but to achieve it in this form violates respect for women and the rationality of human sexual desire.
I think the script expresses a critique of the teachings with a strong contrast, even neurotic love. If it is too conventional and bland, it is difficult for people to understand and appreciate the harmfulness of this teaching. But if we don't give the heroine a neurotic title, it seems that we are unlikely to accept her paranoid love. It is impossible to achieve such a strong contrast and critical effect.
Therefore, these outsiders, her sister-in-law, her husband, and the doctor don't know if it is, these outsiders who have not been bound by the teachings of the small town, they can't understand this kind of bigotry and stubborn teachings from the beginning.
So, in the end, his beloved husband used the method of stealing the coffin to correct his wife's name, throwing her into the sea and sending her to heaven. When her sister-in-law finally heard these sanctimonious hypocrites praying to send the dead to hell, she also shouted indignantly: You have no right to curse her to go to hell.
Her husband understands her, even though her body is so "dirty", he understands, so he still loves her deeply, and kisses her cheek so sadly and so lovingly.
At the end of the film, the true Lord of the world rings the bell of heaven for her and justifies her name.
The heroine is nothing but a victim of this teaching. Or, in my personal understanding, she was the victim of this anti-doctrine.
She has her true self, and she is too kind and true to be in serious conflict with this teaching. She wanted to be true to herself, but she had to be bound by this kind of teaching and thinking, so she was so incomprehensible to ordinary people. The inner struggle is so fierce when there is conflict. Compared with her, the other people in the town who are bound by the teachings are just too obedient.
Speaking of the heroine's brother, her illness also started from the death of her brother, and her sister-in-law is an outsider, so I don't think I can understand why the death of my brother will bring her so much harm, that is Because a person who violated such unreasonable teachings like her, it is also possible that the leader of her thoughts has left her, and she has no allies and benchmarks, so it is so abnormal.
These are my current understanding of the film
