The scars of love never die

After watching this movie an hour ago, I can finally calm down and grab a little bit of a clue to talk about the connotation of this movie, although I still don't quite understand what shocked me. . .
This movie has been downloaded for a long time, and I have not touched it. Originally, today is a pleasant weekend, so I plan to enjoy a more literary and emotional movie with a light heart (yes, I thought it was like this).
The fright starts step by step, step by step.
At first, I thought, well, this female piano teacher, our protagonist, ARIKA, is a strong woman who is meticulous, rigorous, arrogant, and has no tolerance for flaws in music. She holds her head high, disdains to talk to anyone, and is even annoyingly harsh to students.
So when she walked into the self-service theater, waiting to see what was on the screen, I was startled. Unbelievably, looking at such passionate content, the expression on ARIKA's face is still the same, and the red eyes and undulating chest finally show her suppressed desire, when she picks it up in the trash can. When I was intoxicated by the used paper balls left by some man (everyone knows), I found out, oh, it turns out that this film is about a man whose appearance is indifferent and whose heart is full of desire and dissatisfaction. The story of an older leftover girl.
Then the male protagonist appeared, um, I think the ending of this story must be that this sunny, handsome and energetic young man used his love to save the twisted iceberg beauty and the two lived happily ever after.
However, this film didn't let me go.
ARIKA is a complete pervert.
She cuts her softest with a sharp blade for pleasure.
She peeks at other people's sex to satisfy her own desires.
As a teacher, she is jealous (I don't know if she is jealous that her students have talents that surpassed her and progressed smoothly on the road that she did not finish when she died, or she is jealous of her admirers who gently comfort other women, it should be both) Let's do it.) And hurt the hand of his own student, a girl who regards playing the piano as her life! This behavior is simply outrageous!
And the love affair between the hero and heroine in the bathroom, let me know that perversion has no bottom line.
The letter she wrote to her lover terrified the hero, and it terrified me at the same time. This is not a simple perversion! Still a pervert who longs for SM and loves YY abuse!
The hero said, you are sick. Yes, so she is also very pitiful, still the old saying, hateful people must be pitiful.
So here we basically recognize the essence of the heroine, and then the film begins to tell us that such a woman is destined to be cast aside by a happy ending.
Her twisted heart and crazy behavior scared away her lover, he said, you make me feel sick.
She vented her unspeakable desires and grievances on her mother, who said, you are really crazy.
She had hoped that someone who could get redemption from him raped her and told her that not everything has to be according to your rules. It is impossible for a man to be humiliated like this.
She carried a long table knife, perhaps planning to stab the man who hurt her, and looked forward to it. When he appeared, she found that it seemed as if she was the only actor in the whole farce, and the life of the other protagonist seemed to remain the same. The sun is shining without any haze.
So she had to stab the sharp point of the knife into her chest. Is it true that only pain is real, or that pain can only be buried with pain.
The whole film is full of control and being controlled.
Mother controls daughter. She is not allowed to come home late, buy fancy clothes, completely enclose her daughter's life in her own world, and tolerate no excesses.
Women think they can control their admirers, think they can dominate the game.
But in the end the fact is that men dominate and control everything.
So is the writer trying to express this? Also borrow a woman's mouth to say "You know men too..." The subtext is undoubtedly that they are in charge of everything.
With a proud and cold look, ARIKA looked at how proud the man was when he had no choice but to compromise again and again, and finally how sad it was when he was wronged and begged for love and pity.
I don't think this story is about love. What the protagonist wants is not love, but conquest. What the heroine wants is not love, perhaps, the love she imagined in her heart, but there is obviously a big deviation from reality. What the heroine's mother wants is absolute control over her daughter, and this is not love for her daughter. This is a selfish mother who ruined her daughter's life, I think so.
Therefore, this story can be said to be a bloody case caused by a selfish and assertive mother's failure to educate her daughter.
In the end, I have to say that the ending surprised me. The heroine stabbed herself and walked out of the gate. The camera pulled to the busy street. While I was still looking for where the heroine might come out, the subtitles Rise up, is that the end? This is the end. Everything went back to where it started, nothing changed.

    I remember that when I first watched it, I had a stomach to complain, but now I feel nothing. It deeply analyzes the inner ugly state of the neurotic old maid. This film is deeply disgusting but I have to admit that it was well done

    Erika Kohut: Evening, mama.

    The Mother: [sarcastically] Home already? I'm so happy.

    Erika Kohut: I'm going.

    The Mother: Not so fast.

    Erika Kohut: Please. Leave me be. I'm tired.

    The Mother: I can quite believe it. Your last pupil left 3 hours ago. Might I know where you've been all this time?

    Erika Kohut: [trying to go to her room] Please.

    The Mother: No, you don't. Not until you tell me.

    Erika Kohut: I went for a walk. Do you mind? I spent 8 hours in my cage. I was tired and needed some air.

    The Mother: For 3 hours?

    Erika Kohut: Absolutely.

  • Walter Klemmer: [reading the teacher's letter] "On the contrary, if I beg, tighten my bonds, please. Adjust the belt by at least 2 or 3 holes. The tighter the better. Then, gag me with some stockings I will have ready. Stuff them in so hard that I'm incapable of making any sound. Next, take off the blindfold, please, and sit down on my face and punch me in the stomach to force me to thrust my tongue in your behind." Is this supposed to be serious? You're making fun of me, aren't you? You want a slap?
