Human nature needs affirmation and release, and the pursuit of truth needs to be satisfied. When it is suppressed for too long, it will burst out, forming a deformed resistance and release. Extreme circumstances lead to extreme demands, which have nothing to do with morality and should not be put on trial right now. Leaving aside the Marquis de Sade, in the film "Quil", the creator actually regarded him as a genius who pursued truth and rebelled against society. The fanatical creative mentality, the pursuit of abandoning life, the mockery of hypocrisy, and the momentary sadness after Medline's death, he has the remaining love and conscience to fight against his desires. He is a symbol, a man who strikes back hard with the evil of the doctor and the tyrannical kingdom. "Food, color, and sex" sex, as a window for freedom, was displayed to the extreme by Sade. Pain, stronger and sharper than all pleasure, praises pain, appreciates pain, as if physical pain can bring spiritual detachment. I am accustomed to hypocrisy and exploitation, I believe more in the original human nature than the hurt of tenderness, and I believe in pure sin and endless pain rather than purposeful kindness. He said we've been eating shit fuck all our lives spent in kill. In fact, it is acknowledging the original cruel and ugly face of man, and the method is fiercely searching for the truth. At the beginning of the film, the woman smiled and enjoyed it, and stretched out her hands from behind to caress her neck. The picture was ambiguous, as if there would be some ambiguous scene in the next second, but it turned into a guillotine. The woman's fear tears, the audience's laughter, the music of the streets, the color of the severed head. This seems to be the feeling of this movie, you think it is pornography, but it is actually a few seconds before life is destroyed, tearing, and fear finally holding people tightly. Whether Medline loves Sade or his works, I don't know very well, but she is obsessed with erotic books. Compared with the two male characters of priest and Sade, she reconciles desire and reason. Yes, through the book under the quill pen, she has been released from ugliness, sin and sexual desire, so that she can be a good girl in peacetime. Marquis de Sade said that "my works have the power to control people's hearts". In fact, he tore off everyone's masks and released the animal side that he tried to conceal. Crazy sales in the bookstore, the husband killed his wife after reading his works, and the pure doctor's wife who had been raised in the monastery seduced the architect and ran away. Of course, in the end, the madman who couldn't control himself inspired by the novel also killed Medline. Medline became Quill's first victim, and seemed to be born for that mission. The priest, the second male, was the one who suffered the most. Different from Sade's crazy desire and the reconciliation of the heroine, he believes in religious teachings and is strictly abstinent, representing pure kindness. The purest people are hurt the most in reality. Suppressing himself, when he found that the matter could not be solved and wanted to send Metlin away, he did not make up his mind. Seeing Thad as a friend, but being forced to make a decision, a man with a conscience, is broken down. In the end, Matline's death completely broke him. He pulled out Thad's tongue, but he beat himself in the house to atone for his sins. People with conscience can't be numb. In the end, Thad died and asked him to write a book. He was deprived of his liberty and became a lunatic. The easiest, the hardest to survive. The three are mad, mad, dead, the doctor and the informer, the betrayal, but they have become people who print books and make a fortune and continue to cover up the truth with ignorant people. Desperate governments and abstinence are mocked. Thad is just a shadow. and abstinence. Thad is just a shadow. and abstinence. Thad is just a shadow.

    A biographical film, whether successful or not, invites one to explore the real life of its protagonist. Sade's life was frantic and sober, and his moral relativity theory was refreshing. His sadistic tendencies are called Sadism and Masochism are collectively called sadomasochism, which is what we call SM.

    Maybe not everyone will like Sartre's novels, but you have to admit his courage to pursue freedom and create a new atmosphere; and some details of history may be driven by these few "madmen". PS: Joaquin Phoenix & Kate Winslet of the year is really classical beauty~
