My pain has nothing to do with me

My most immediate afterthought: My pain has nothing to do with me.

I think it's an illuminating film for people who are in so much pain, or who are so miserable they don't have any other thoughts and just want to get rid of their pain quickly.

Obviously, if a person allows himself to be entangled with his own pain, it will become more and more entangled, and the pain will become deeper and deeper. To the point of self-harm, even suicide. But if, like the heroine in the movie, she shows an indifference to any behavior that hurts herself and her painful experience, and isolates her misfortune from herself, then the degree of pain will be significantly reduced, at least not less. It will continue to make people sink deeper and deeper into the pain, more and more painful.

Just like the famous scene in the film (at least I think so)---the heroine "she" calmly and each other (the perverted male neighbor in the film) narrate her extreme strange childhood, without any expression, as if she is not talking about herself the same thing.

The heroine in the film has an extremely cold personality---calm, indifferent, indifferent and alienated, and she can naturally separate herself from her own misfortune. (To be honest, this role is really a wife suitable for Isabelle Huppert), Her character is directly related to her serial murderer father (I remember it was... a serial murderer, in short, he killed a lot of people), it is impossible for people to kill so many people if they are so cruel, it is her father Inherited "cold" to "her".

In reality, there can't be people around us as extreme as "her" father, nor can there be a heroine who can isolate herself from her own pain so effortlessly, but it doesn't matter, what matters is this movie To give people an inspiration, a way of thinking, how to save ourselves when we are in mental pain, we can't be exactly the same as the heroine "she", but we can imitate, even infinitely close.

As for the aspects of "independent women, free, calm and strong" expressed in the film, I only learned after reading other film reviews.
