"The Quill" film review

In the history of human development, the boundary between "sex" and "morality" is a hot topic. Sex is the instinct of all people, whether it is between the opposite sex or the same sex, it is now recognized. What is the difference between sex and morality? Is it right or wrong to be the leader of all evils? Can two people who are in love have sex before they violate morality? Seemingly moral relationships are not deceitful.
The film "Quil" tells the life of a French writer full of erotic words. The Marquis de Sade was notorious for containing a lot of sexual plots in his novels. Napoleon regarded him as an alien and imprisoned in an insane asylum, but he still couldn't stop it. He had a desire in his heart to create pornographic articles that were considered alien to moralists. And through the cooperation with the laundryman, he made his creations public. In the world of young people suppressed by traditional culture, these things are undoubtedly regarded as the unreachable Merlin in front of the desert. This further aroused his desire to break through traditional culture. In the face of the supervision of a seemingly moral psychiatrist, he still tried his best to create, and he did not hesitate to self-mutilate and write with blood, and finally ended in the tragic situation of cutting his tongue. This film completely reveals that the so-called morality is arbitrarily trampled on when human instinct cannot be satisfied, and finally morality still prevails in front of people and trampled on by others.
In fact, there was such a writer in China's Ming Dynasty who was questioning the so-called morality. We will not talk about his writing for the time being, but the erotic content in it is a naked question of traditional culture. I don't want to pay attention to the rest of his life, but he Don't his works reveal the true nature of people at that time? Life is free and equal, have we always fallen into the abyss of a male-dominated society? In the face of reality, morality appears to be very powerless, or in other words, morality is actually a product of compromise. People redefine sexual freedom, and morality will also slow down. Slowly compromise between people.
The above are purely personal opinions, and the word "morality" here cannot cover all categories, and readers should take care of them by themselves.
