Those who want to watch the survival skills in the wild can be withdrawn. Although this movie is a bit of a wilderness escape, and some scenes are quite bloody, it is mainly about mental reshaping and self-salvation. It is a psychodrama with a little horror.
The hostess’s self-rescue environment: Set in a deserted holiday house, her hands are handcuffed on the bed, her mobile phone is unavailable, the key is out of reach, her husband is violently killed, there is no food, the door is wide open, evil dogs and evil spirits are nearby Close at hand. This background setting can be said to take away all the guarantees of survival and safety, leaving you and your soul alone in the darkness and danger.
I saw why some Douyou diss don’t use Siri (no charging) or kick off the pillar (reinforced by the bedpost). The bed can be moved easily (your bed is fixed on the floor?)...Although it is reasonable, but The focus is wrong, these slots are some hypothetical conditions. The screenwriter just wanted to see how far people can be forced by throwing the heroine into such an environment.
The screenwriter felt that such horrifying assumptions were enough to drive a woman crazy... After her husband suddenly died, the evil dog was divided, and after several hours of roaring and struggling, the heroine was forced to have a nervous breakdown. At this time, the fear slowly faded over time, and the survival instinct began to awaken the surviving rationality deep in the heart. The female protagonist seems to be schizophrenically imagining the image of her husband and herself, but through the dialogue between her husband and herself, she rescues herself from the cage of reality and the shackles of the soul.
First of all, she explained her 11-year marriage that was on the verge of failure through dialogue. The female protagonist knows that her husband looks down on women, objectifies women, and thinks that women are just the life system of the vagina; she knows that her husband has started to take aphrodisiac to maintain a normal sex life; she knows that her husband has not touched her for several months because of stealing fishery outside ; She knows that her husband likes sexual stimulation; she knows all the hypocrisy and unbearableness of her husband; she also knows her disgust and dislike of it. But she chose silence and escape. She chose to open one eye and close one eye. She chose to improvise. She chose to be a good wife. She chose to pass by... How much like the woman beside us. , How like our mother, how like ourselves! Love is like a fool, constantly ignoring his own feelings, numbing his heart, and finally losing himself in a failed relationship.
Second, she began to dig deeper reasons through dialogue. About her father, her native family. She traced back to that lunar eclipse, that conversation, those scenes that had besieged her for half a lifetime... That lunar eclipse, her father's molestation of the girl, completely destroyed the image of the beloved father in the girl's heart. And then, the conversation her father had with her in the bedroom made her feel uneasy throughout her life. What her father told her was not an apology and repentance, but a lie and threats to keep the girl secret, silence her, and let her. Be silent to everyone. Here, the image of the father collapsed in the girl's heart. No wonder at the beginning of the film, when the husband played a sexual assault game, he pretended to be "daddy" so disgusted by the heroine. From then on, there was an unhealable wound in the girl's heart, like a black hole, like a dry well, and eventually trapped herself at the bottom of the well. The original family's influence on a person's marriage and family is far more profound than imagined.
Finally, returning to the real prison, the evil dog is biting the corpse, and even trying to eat the heroine. The devil that appears every night, always peeping in the dark corner... Death seems to be approaching step by step, and the heroine finally cuts her wrists to save herself in the struggle of the soul. All this really requires great courage (after all, this part of me I don’t even dare to finish it...)
Although her body escaped, her soul could not escape the predicament at the time. Handcuffs, wedding rings, lunar eclipses, little mice, evil spirits... became her lingering nightmare. Until the abnormal news report of the cemetery, she suddenly realized that she decided to face the fear in her heart...
In the courtroom, the ugly faces of her father, husband, and Moonlight Man kept overlapping, and she finally understood that the handcuffs her father handcuffed her were to keep her silent when she was hurt. The other handcuffs her husband handcuffed her was to make her silence in exchange for comfort.
At the end of the film, a sentence "you're much smaller than I remember" tells us that she has defeated the nightmare, defeated herself, liberated herself, and reborn in Nirvana...
