1. Self-super-self choice
Psychoanalyst Freud believes that the personality structure is composed of three parts: id, ego, and superego. The superego and the id are almost always opposed. In order to coordinate the contradiction between the id and the superego, the ego needs to be adjusted. There are not a few movies with the core of the id, ego, and superego. This section will analyze the film based on the relationship between the id, ego, and superego projected in the film.
The "id" acts unconditionally in accordance with the "happiness principle", without moral right and wrong and time and space restrictions, and unscrupulously seeks the maximum satisfaction of instinctual needs and the complete elimination of psychological stimulation. (The id follows the principle of happiness) "Self" makes instincts realistic and rational. It has differentiated from the irrational id and represents the rational and conscious part of the personality. Its code of conduct is the "principle of reality". It adjusts the relationship between the id and the external world according to the actual conditions and the objective environment, and satisfies the needs of the id without causing greater suffering. (Self follows the principle of reality) "Superego" is a moralized self, representing the moral requirements and behavior standards of the parents or society recognized in childhood. The ego gets rid of the entanglement of the id and acts in accordance with the requirements of social norms. (The superego follows the moral principles)
The ego superego is embodied as the following sister, even if she crosses the moral bottom line, she must obey the desire of inner instinct. The ego supports her to sin and satisfy the desire in her heart (the ego). The sister’s self-restraint is her in the real world. Regarding the balance of carnivorous desire, the id attracts her to eat meat, and the superego restrains her on a moral level. The ego is always reminding her to find a balance in the relationship between the two (self). Parents directly prohibit the moral code. Resist the desire to eat meat, on the contrary, excessive suppression is likely to be the source of the tragedy (superego)
Tracing back to the most instinctive and fundamental desires of human beings, Confucius said that "eating men and women, the great desires of human beings exist." One is diet, and the other is the relationship between men and women. Appetite controls the human digestive system, and sexual desire controls the reproductive system. Both They are all the most instinctive desires, and even the lowest animals follow this most basic rule, let alone human beings.
The translated name of the Hong Kong version is quite emotional: the ritual of licking blood. The most exciting part is the violent menarche ceremony with the roommate. The younger sister dominates the rite of passage that belongs to her, like a wild beast subduing its prey. In order not to hurt her roommate before she was about to lose control, the younger sister chose to sink her teeth deep in her arm, and when the blood rushed out of her body to be satisfied, both her sexuality and carnal desires could orgasm at the same time. After she made this choice, she and her sister have been thrown to two completely different branch points.
She has a strong desire for her roommate. When she stared at him naked and kicking a ball from a distance on the playground, the self began to make trouble. The hideous change of her expression symbolized the ups and downs of her inner desires, and her desires exceeded hers. Physiological limit, nosebleeds flowed out under the control of self-body function. The manifestation of this desire is on two levels, that is, the men and women of diet mentioned above. For her sister, he is the object of her sexual desire and the prey of her carnal coveting. Will you eat the prey that is close at hand? Or to put it this way, can you hold back not to eat it?
The image of my sister is a wicked person, but not completely evil. After making many car accidents to achieve her desires and killing so many people by borrowing a car, she cried when she saw her sister gnawing her fingers. Only when she was hurt, she was awake, and she knew it was. My fault, because I forced her to eat her kidneys raw, which made her follow the same path as her own, but this soberness was only a short moment, and she was quickly left behind by her distorted values, and later humiliated her sister. And to cause car accidents and kill roommates can reflect the distortion of her values. She loves her, and instinctively teaches her sister the skills of making car accidents and hunting. When playing games, she and her sister say "It's not that I compliment you, you'd better not be anorexia, that's not good, if you continue, just I'll be sick, I know what's going on, you can't help it." It implies that my sister has also resisted but failed, and knows how difficult it is to restrain one's own nature.
But she and her sister are essentially different people. Her values are to follow the desire of the "self" in her heart. Even if she embarks on the path of crime, the self is controlling her most of the time, and her humanity has been overwhelmed by the beastly nature. After that, it led to the tragedy that she couldn't help killing her roommate by herself. Although the younger sister was also confused, she sticks to her own moral code and balances this boundary in "self". This is where they are different. Fortunately, both of them have grown up in this growing battle. The younger sister learns to balance the relationship between the self and the superego in the ego, and the sister also knows the serious consequences of following the self, and went to jail to make up for the miss. , Got salvation.
2. Feminist care
This film is the first feature film of female director Julia Ducournau. The relationship between the sisters in the film is also a major feature of this film. The director's handling of the emotional world between women and women is very delicate and realistic. The emotions shown by the elder sister and the younger sister are complex, and they are mixed with many unspeakable emotions, which seem to be very moving under the director's statement.
After the younger sister knew that she had been drunk and was humiliated in public by her older sister, she fought fiercely with her older sister, and the two directly fought in public. All kinds of hair pulling clothes, pushing them to the ground and beating each other, the younger sister's face was directly chewed off by the older sister, and it was suddenly bloody and bloody. Two seniors came to stop, and both of them were surrendered. Even though the two sisters were fighting like this, when facing a common enemy, the younger sister broke free from the senior who had captured her, but then went to help her sister out of trouble. In the end, the two naturally helped each other up, and the onlookers were all Face of astonishment, such a dramatic scene ended with such a warm end.
After returning to the dormitory, the sister carefully helped her sister to bandage the wound on her face. Facing the behavior of her sister just now, she is helping her bandage again, her eyes are puzzled, confused, love and hate, while facing her sister's shocking face, her eyes are flashing with apology, guilt and pity. Through the switch of the camera, the director showed the love and hatred of the two to the extreme, and the two of them carried each other's entanglement, and their hearts were mixed, and it was difficult to express clearly in a few words.
My sister finally chose not to lock the door because of trust. This is the indirect cause of the tragedy rather than the direct cause of the tragedy. The most important thing is the liberation attitude of my sister's inner self, which is a time bomb buried deep in the ground, even if there is no tragedy this time. , There will be an outbreak one day.
The film is spread out with a unique female perspective, and the characteristics of the female characters in the film are relatively strong. For example, the person in the family is the mother, the sister wears cool earrings and wears a iconic big-backed unisex dress, can hunt like a man and urinate standing up and masculine, while the strength of the younger sister is reflected in sex. Dominance shown in. The emotions between the two of them are antagonistic, and there is a misunderstanding about both sides. Everyone thinks that they are the weird guys in the family. The sister thinks that the parents love the sister with good grades and well-behaved. The sister thinks that the parents love the maverick The lone sister, jealousy and envy each other.
The few important male characters in this film are only two, one is a dead gay friend, and the other is a father who is willing to compromise and endure a disadvantage in the family for love. The male characters have been weakened and weakened to a large extent. This film allows people to see an alternative interpretation of powerful women, and deconstructs the cultural system dominated by men.
3. The buried metaphor
On the night after eating the rabbit kidney, my sister dreamed of a horse galloping in the dark, and the horse's mouth and body were ensnared. This is the reflection of my sister's desire to eat meat and release her nature after her first taste of raw meat. She is the fettered horse, running constantly trying to break the shackles imposed on her by her parents. In the previous carnival, the good girl broke into a world she had never experienced before. Everyone was very unrestrained, releasing her own nature to carnival in singing and dancing. The frantic sight and colorful neon lights made her panic. Then, she fled in the crowd, like a headless fly, feeling unable to adapt but she was extremely novel and attracted. She was affected by the impact of the new environment and new things. In her heart, she yearned for this group of carnival people (represented by her sister) to release her own nature. Freud said that "the subconscious mind can produce tremendous dominance, which often leads to abnormal behaviors." I started to eat meat secretly and gnawed my fingers directly behind me, and I also recognized myself with the changed nature of the mirror solo dance.
There is also a secondary line on campus bullying
On the first day of school, the senior seniors gave him a slap in the face, messing up everyone's things and taking away at will, and letting everyone crawl on their knees in a dark confined space, undoubtedly trampling people's identity into an ant-like poverty. A group of veterinarians who should have rescued the wounded, all wearing white coats full of graffiti, singing obscene and ridiculous lyrics, killing horses every year to get blood to celebrate the entrance ceremony, eating raw rabbit kidneys, at the moment when horse blood falls down It seems even more shocking. This kind of misbehavior with the appearance of the entrance ceremony is full of irony. It is nothing more than the seniors and sisters in order to satisfy their identity from being bullied to abuser. And this paragraph is a tribute to the 1976 American film about school violence, in which the protagonist in "Carrie Witch" was bullied and poured blood. The younger sister asked why the person in the photo had no head. The older sister said that he was a traitor who did not accept the ceremony. Also, I was ridiculed by the teacher for being too good in the exam, and he was treated differently with colored glasses. I was taught that the clothes were too conservative, and I was punished to wear diapers. I was splashed by my senior and asked two people who had just met to have sex. These are behaviors made in a passive state, completely depriving people of the right to choose. Regarding the raped monkey that everyone talked about at the dinner table, my sister believed that animals also have rights and that animals also have self-awareness. The raped woman and the raped monkey are the same thing. In fact, it also verified that "everyone is the raped monkey in the face of cold campus violence and bullying," monkeys and people equate on this issue.
Regarding the campus bullying projected in the film, the substance also reflects and satirizes the universality of campus bullying in contemporary society to a certain extent, as well as the human nature's instinct to bully the weak. School bullying is not necessarily extreme physical violence, it may also be cold violence. The lethality of most people’s silence is far more terrible than a person’s throat. It’s not surprising and indifferent to everyone. It seems that most people have accepted and used to it. They are like the raped monkey. No one is. Care, everyone thought the monkey didn't feel it. The story of the fat girl told by the doctor, she decided to endure discrimination and bullying in order to be stable, just because she wanted to be an ordinary person, and most people who were bullied were like this. Everyone chose to go because they wanted to be an "ordinary person." Be a "ordinary person"
