Just some personal feelings. Although the experiences are different, these inner activities and emotions are too familiar to me. Although this movie is perverted and disgusting, it is still quite positive.
The "bestness" in the film (let's call it that first) is quite complicated and worth exploring. It first appeared as a symbolic metaphor, the desire to eat meat. Then there is sexual desire. Then came the desire to eat people. Think about it, this is not a pure animal nature. At least animals can't eat of one another. Maybe it's more similar to the person's id. The boundary between the satisfaction of the id and the malignant expansion is indeed quite subtle. Mother's abstinence, this kind of excessive depression caused by worry and fear spread to these two sisters, sowing the seeds of malignant expansion. My sister's ability to think independently is weaker. Tragedy, my sister's independent thinking has overcome the animal nature and finally grows up. The essence of the story is nothing new. But the inner portrayal of the character (this amazing understanding and insight into human nature) and those somewhat surreal expressions are really superb.
The elder sister is not all bad, she indulges herself at the same time, she is also severely criticized by herself. Her guilt and shame were vented by pulling her sister into the water and even torturing and humiliating her sister. But her over-inflated self-superego was completely misplaced, and it was indeed inevitable that she would go to self-destruction in the end. The transformation of the scene where the younger sister eats her finger is actually quite crucial. Although she was not very nice and her conscience was disturbed, she always wanted to pull her sister into the water, but her evil was limited to herself. Seeing her sister eating her fingers, she shed tears, it was the moment when her self-criticism began to explode. She had killed so many people, but she passed out when her finger was cut. I guess it's because she didn't know that it hurts when others are hurt. But after I was eaten, my empathy began to awaken, and I felt the pain of the raped monkey. But her inflated self prevents her from becoming mature and becoming an altruistic person. Her superego and self-criticism can only be vented through her sister. (Insert a sentence, I still don't fully understand the motive of her lying to protect her sister. Out of sisterhood, or keeping accomplices, can not completely convince me.) Later, she completely criticized the existence of the sister's animality.
My sister is a person who can think independently and has her own standards of good and evil. She is also experiencing growth pains similar to her sister. I won't talk about the previous ones that are quite superficial. However, the last paragraph is particularly good for the description of my sister's growth. Finally, after the fight with her sister, her sister taped her up. She saw that her sister still had some humanity (this can probably be compared with the question of the former bread shelter's fingers), and she chose to believe that she did not lock her up. is one. But I didn't expect my sister to betray her trust and exploded. She held the ski poles to her sister's forehead, but did not poke it down in the end. She felt that her sister was essentially a sad and powerless person. She chose to forgive rather than hate. This is two. Then she took her sister to take a bath, cleaned up the mess to wash away all the sins of the past, and chose to be reborn instead of destroyed. This is three. Put your face on the visiting glass and choose to reconcile with your sister and the superego. This is four.
Finally, let me talk about a few scenes that I particularly like. I think these somewhat obscure expressions and hidden meanings vividly reproduce the feeling of being true and special:
One is the New Life Welcome Party. The freshmen have to climb over the bar in a place with extremely low ceilings, extremely suppressing the anti-human space, and then the crawling action is the loss of dignity and the same as the beasts, implying the seeming rebellion of this carnival. The "freedom" thought of Jingdao is just another form of pulling people into the water. It does not liberate humanity, but just another collective release of malice in a different name.
One is the scene of my sister being whipped in the quilt. She couldn't see what was happening outside, she just kept getting beaten up and screaming in pain. It implies that this is her inner world, this is her inner self-criticism. Finally she called her sister's name. She discovered/shirked that this kind of harshness was imposed on her by her sister. However, the inexplicable pain of being whipped by the phantom and the depression of not being able to lift the quilt, the shaping and restoration of this feeling is really amazing. A sense of substitution is 100%.
Another sister sent her a message about the guilt of the dog wanting to be euthanized. This feeling is too real and substitutable.
The symbol of that skirt is also very interesting. Its meaning is quite complicated but it is very precise. The relationship between my sister and the skirt is basically the development of her humiliating relationship with the slut. From the repressive femininity at the beginning, to being imposed on femininity, to being trembling and ashamed after being seduced by the skirt, to indulging myself to seduce everyone, to breaking the jar and forgetting the existence of this skirt and wearing her to fight with her sister. The film’s handling of the meaning of various details is fantastic.
