This makes me interested, so what is the taste of this film?
The hostess Justin grew up in a strict vegetarian family. Her father was docile and reticent, and her mother was strong and aggressive. Justin’s mother thinks that as long as she eats meat, a serious allergic reaction will occur. So even if the food is just a little bit of meat, Justin’s mother always has to argue with the restaurant to the end.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Justin is always caught As a freak, I thought I would be a freshman in the veterinary school, and after meeting with my sophomore sister Alexia in the same school, he would get a rare freedom. But I didn’t expect the life of the Veterinary College to be very sinister. Without the protection of her parents, life is not easy.
She clearly asked for a female roommate, but the school assigned her a man because the other party was GAY. Say it's the same". Although Justin's grades are excellent, a teacher of yin and yang is dismissive of her, and even thinks that she is the top student who scared away the truly excellent doctors. The strict hierarchical system in the school caught her off guard. The old students oppressed the new students in an endless stream, splashing paint, splashing animal blood, and "noying in the dormitory"...
But what is even more annoying is that she should have been protected. My sister, not only didn't protect her, but forced her to eat the rabbit kidney raw with Laosheng. The night after eating, she had a severe allergic reaction, and she was itching and scratching her heart.
So the next day, she had to go to the school hospital for an examination. The skin on the scratched area had begun to peel off, and the doctor prescribed an anti-itch cream for her. But something stranger followed one after another-she, who had been a vegetarian, suddenly developed a strong interest in meat.
But due to the inertia of a strict vegetarian diet she cultivated at home, she dared not take the meat upright in the cafeteria. Instead, she stole a piece of steak and was caught. When her roommate treated her for barbecue, she gobbled it up like a starving ghost. , And gradually cooked meat can no longer satisfy her, she always feels empty stomach, even stealing raw meat in the refrigerator in the middle of the night.
In an accident involving a sister's fight, her sister was cut off by scissors and fainted on the spot. In order to prevent the pet dog who came to school with her from eating her sister's finger, Justin kept holding the severed finger tightly in his hand. Finally couldn't hold back the temptation, ate the severed finger in his hand with relish, and the innocent little white rabbit suddenly turned into an ogre (I don't know why I was hungry when I saw it).
It is estimated that the stomachs of the Swedish audience surrendered from here, right? Who told them not to eat chicken feet with pickled pepper?
Well, seeing this, you must find that this movie is as vigorous as the title. Friends who are afraid of spoilers should not watch it anymore. After watching the movie, let's go back!
The following involves key spoilers, please watch with caution!
To the audience's expectation, when my sister woke up, she saw her sister who was eating her fingers, but she was not surprised, but very sad. After bandaging the wound, she nonchalantly led her sister to the wilderness and carried out a "hunting"
-she rushed to a fast-moving car, "created" a traffic accident, and then went into a crashed car. The wounded driver feasted on his wounds and invited his sister to “enjoy” it.
Justin discovered that her sister not only has a habit of cannibalism, but also has become accustomed to it for a long time, even hurting others to satisfy her desires.
Faced with this situation, Justin, who was terrified and horrified, rejected her sister's "treat" and walked back to school alone. She did not want to succumb to her animal desires like her sister. And her body also had a strong withdrawal reaction because of the desire for human flesh, and she was restless and could not sleep at night. Looking at the beating blood vessels of my roommate all day long, I created a wonderful impression of "a dangerous girl making people sweat for a strong man".
Seeing this, it is not difficult to see that in this horror movie, "eating meat" is not only a horror element, but a subtle metaphor.
Many people think that the theme of the film is actually adolescent sexual awakening, but I think the director’s ambition is more than that. The film’s "meat-eating" metaphor for desire is not just sexual desire.
On the one hand, "eating meat" can be said to represent a powerful impulse brought about by new desires——
Just like the appetite of a baby and the sexual desire of a teenager, perhaps also like the pleasure of trying drugs and gambling for the first time, desire is always the most difficult to control when it is born.
While changing from a vegan diet to meat-eating, Justin is also experiencing her coming-of-age ceremony. The two are entwined in a spiral-learning to obey the hierarchical social order, accepting the mercy and teasing of senior students, and being forcibly fed. The rabbit kidney triggers the meat-eating instinct. He was thrown into the same room with a male student to receive teasing. He found his desire to eat meat, and was forced to shave his pubic hair by his precocious sister, so that his sister’s fingers were eaten during the fight. ……
When she stunned the mirror with the most enchanting air in the soundtrack of "Plus Putes que toutes les Putes", the audience must have been surprised. This is still the beginning. Is that little vegetarian girl with a hunchback and a timid face?
The "carnal desire" of this metaphorical image is like drugs. The longer the time the greater the dose required, and drug addicts will even die in order to obtain drugs.
If Justin in the film is struggling with the "best desires" in his blood, then the sister Alexia is completely surrendered to desires, freeing herself to indulge in them, until she is overwhelmed by desires.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the breathtaking performances of the two main actors—
justin, the younger sister of the ogre twin girls, played by French new-generation actress Garance Morrill, who was born in 1998. The little girl, who was just 18 years old when she appeared in "Raw Eat", gave a super large-scale and super explosive performance. It not only performed the innocence of the little girl, but also showed the desire that spewed out after the performance was stimulated by the potential. The film director Julia Nokoff asked her to try her best to show the change of the character's posture, so we only saw the amazing performance of Justin in the film.
The wild and unruly sexy sultry sister is played by actress Ira Longf, who was born in 1995. Her heroic facial features reveal an androgynous fierceness, and she also reflects Alexia in the film. She is as aggressive as a wild horse. She is tough, fearless, aggressive, and she doesn’t care about her behavior-she digs out cow dung in her hands, urinates standing up, and eats her own fingers to her sister. Light, these characteristics are not without symbolic meaning, so it is not difficult to understand that she will do whatever it takes to satisfy her desires, indulge her desires without restraint.
If people who have no moral concepts and are completely driven by desire often have a fascinating trait, then this trait is undoubtedly revealed in her-desperate self-confidence, it is easy to stand out from the crowd.
In short, this pair of sisters shows two sides of the coin of "desire", one is struggling to restraint, the other is indulgence and sinking.
My sister can "hunt" for her own selfish desires at the expense of making a car accident, and even allow herself to eat her sister's roommate. Although the younger sister is in the original explosive period of desire, she still tries to control herself-when she was XXOO with her roommate, the desire to eat meat hits, she bit her arm and found that her sister killed her friend with a ski stick , She pondered over and over again, put down the ski stick in her hand, not letting herself indulge in her animality like her sister, but instead wiped her blood off her body and took her to surrender.
And the film is also through the love and killing between the two sisters, reflecting the game between desire and restraint.
On the other hand, "eating meat" can also represent a view that opposes fatalism.
At the end of the film, we discovered that the hobby of cannibalism is actually a matrilineal single in Justin’s house, so Justin’s parents were not surprised that the sister got into trouble. After my sister was sent to jail for cannibalism, my father revealed the wound on her chest to Justin, frankly her mother also has a cannibalism. From the father’s mouth, we can infer that my sister had a catastrophe due to lack of discipline when she was a child. Mother has always forbidden Justin to eat meat, fearing that she will repeat the same mistakes. However, it is impossible for Justin to live under the protection of her mother all the time. One day she needs to face the traits and temptations in her blood.
Just like my father said, "We have not found a solution, I believe you will find it." In fact, many people think this is a rather fatalistic expression when they see the ending, but I don't think so.
Although genes determine their desire for human flesh, Justin and his mother are at least trying to resist this attribute of themselves (although it is a bit irritating to raise a husband in captivity like a mother to make food). Compared with her sister's resignation, resistance itself is an improvement. . People can't erase some of the bad roots in their nature, which may make life more difficult, but it definitely does not mean that resistance is meaningless. If there is no final answer in this life, I believe that the answer lies in the future, at least it can make life a little rush.
Therefore, this is not a simple youth horror film with eyeballs, but a mixture of the director's many thoughts about human nature. Although the tragedy is strong, it is not hopeless.
And after watching the complete film, you will find that there are many small details in the film.
1 Car accident The car accident
at the beginning of the movie, combined with the following plot, is not difficult to see that it is another "hunting" by my sister, indicating that my sister is already an veteran hunter.
2 Ski poles
When Justin met her roommate for the first time, the roommate handed her a ski pole, which was later used by her sister to stabb her roommate to death. Justin almost used it to stabb her sister to death.
Here, ski poles can be said to symbolize "trust." To trust a person is to personally hand him a weapon to kill you, giving him the right to kill you.
3 When the monkeys
were eating in the cafeteria of the Veterinary College, a neurotic classmate asked Justin and his roommates, since modern medicine believes that AIDS started with monkeys in Africa, if someone wants to fuck a monkey now, should they bring a condom?
This question caused a series of discussions among these freshmen. Who would want to fuck a monkey? Should the fucking monkey bear legal responsibility? Are the fucked monkey and the raped girl essentially the same?
It can also be seen in this paragraph that Justin’s attitude towards this is that animals and humans should have the same rights. However, in the discussion about humanity and animality in the second half of the film, perhaps her point of view will also change. The essential difference between humans and animals is that people can learn to fight against their (animal) nature. There are also two horse-related bridges in the
4 horse
film. First, when Justin was just entering school, her sister preached to her about the ease and fun of the entrance ceremony, and then a group of students anaesthetized a horse and hung it. Up the picture. Later, when Justin was forced to eat the rabbit's kidneys and developed itching symptoms, a picture of a horse running on a treadmill appeared.
It corresponds to the story of Justin unknowingly opening the Pandora's Box, and it is more or less reminiscent of the scene when
we entered school and entered the society- we were paralyzed by various hopeful slogans and recovered. Later, I found that I was involuntarily involuntarily, and could only keep running with the tide.
5 Dog
titles We saw Justin’s cute pet dog, Kuiqi, who was brought to school by her.
In the accident of her sister’s finger being cut off, like Justin, it also tasted the taste of human blood for the first time, although it had never Actively attacking people, but had to be euthanized because "animals that have tasted human blood are no longer safe."
In fact, the subtext is that once Justin has tasted human flesh, it is no longer safe for people. But here is the difference in rights between humans and animals-the faults of humans should be borne by animals. In Justin's own eyes, animals and humans should be equal, but the dog has taken the blame for herself, and her inner order also fluctuates at this time.
6 Repair Cream
is actually about two sisters who eat settings, in addition to a car accident at the beginning of, or very full of foreshadowing.
When she was in her sister's room, she opened the cupboard behind the bathroom mirror and found that her sister had the same anti-itch cream as her own, and used it almost the same, indicating that her sister had the same symptoms as her.
7Scar on the mouth
Justin's father has a visible scar on his upper lip. We know from the back that this is the mark left by his mother and his first kiss. When Justin was thrown into the little black room and shared the same room with the painter, he bit off a piece of meat on the other's lower lip in the same way.
History is always surprisingly similar. The defects of the parents are often repeated in the children, but the children cannot decide their own birth. This seems to be the fate that humans cannot escape, so the father said, "It is all our fault, we have not found a solution. Way".
So in my opinion, in addition to the not-so-trivial idea (although not as new as it is) and the remarkable performance of the actors, the completion of the film's plot is also very impressive, which is worth watching.
