It has to be said that Polanski is a complete genius. Judging from this film alone, he shows genius-like sensitivity and delicacy, madness and cruelty, and gives him a profound insight into human nature, imaginative literature, and far-reaching philosophical thinking beyond ordinary films. And these, by no means a regular director can do. Under his lens, lust is insane, reaching a climax, but also bitter, cruel, and destructive. The following are fragmentary impressions of watching the movie. First of all, Oscar is the most talkable character. From Oscar's telling of Nigel's story, the audience's attention is invariably focused on this mutilated but enigmatic man. He spoke eccentrically, like a lunatic immersed in his own world, and the words in his mouth were a long string of unfamiliar adjectives. In the world of normal people, the way he tells it is strange and weird, the content of the story is disgusting and unbelievable, but he doesn't care, candid and sharp, and seduces Nigel to the end of the story step by step. As the story unfolds, his madness, his obsession with lust, and the nature of his greed come to light. Oscar is indeed a lustful lunatic. From the moment he met Mimi, he fell in love. In fact, love at first sight for Mimi is based on desire. They have lived through the craziest and most romantic period, and they have exerted the charm of eroticism to the extreme. Oscar's life is accompanied by desire. He uses love as a means to burn his life, constantly seeking stimulation. The fresher the stimulation, the more vigorous his life force will be. But his almost perverted greedy nature makes it impossible for him to maintain a loyal love for Mimi. Morality has no bounds on him, he is a complete asshole, but he is equally candid and honest. When normal love ebbs, the sadomasochistic plot behind human nature emerges spontaneously. Oscar is no longer satisfied with Mimi, he lost his passion, destroyed Mimi in the abuse, let her endure physical and mental torture again and again, and finally sent Mimi after a miscarriage to a strange distance with a plane ticket. . Oscar continued to sink into lust, and two years later, Mimi, who was desperate, returned for revenge, and Oscar spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. The girl who had been pure and loved him was broken and rebuilt, and she abused him in the same way, causing him to experience pain. Faced with his own paralysis, Oscar is certainly suffering. Initially, he saw Mimi's actions as revenge against himself. But when Mimi brings other men home to try to arouse his jealousy, he fully understands that Mimi has fallen in love with him. This pain is then replaced by sympathy, guilt, and remorse. They finished their wedding and went on with their lives torturing each other. He condone Mimi's disguise Debauchery, find new targets for her. And when Mimi and Fiona were happy, he made a choice for Mimi - he killed her with the pistol Mimi gave him, and also killed himself. Ending his life also meant that he ended the pain for Mimi. Secondly, Nigel's image is also very intriguing. From the outside, he is a typical good husband, considerate, gentle, and personable. But from Mimi's appearance, Nigel's affectionate and hypocritical nature is revealed. He was deeply attracted by Oscar's story and Mimi's charm, but he still said high-sounding words in an attempt to hide his dirty thoughts. He is self-contradictory, hypocritical and greedy, blindly prevaricates his wife's questioning with lies, and has no resistance in the face of Mimi's temptation. Even when dancing with Mimi at the end, he still lies to satisfy his desire that he is completely in love with Mimi. It can be seen that the essential orientation of male characters is lust itself. They are animals driven by desire, greedy for freshness and excitement. In the face of desire, the restraint of morality is minimal, and the essence of male greed will eventually be revealed. "Bitter Moon", obviously this is relative to "honeymoon". "Honeymoon" means "honeymoon" and is the sweetest time a newlywed couple can spend. In contrast to the passionate love period between Oscar and Mimi in the film, the moon appears in the form of a "full moon", implying that their love is strong and sweet. And when the love broke down, Oscar watched Mimi's plane leave, and a crescent moon was reflected in the glass window. Love is gone, and the moon is incomplete. What Polanski maps through the film is naturally a long-standing mystery that haunts human beings: when lovers enter marriage, have they ever thought about where the love will go when the passion fades and they are tired of each other... How to choose when your nature goes against the principle of loyalty in love. When the yellow moon slowly emerged from the clouds and the ship swayed forward in the sparkling deep sea, the ending song sounded, and it seemed that all the answers were no longer important.
