Ignore the problem, the problem will not disappear miraculously

Before watching the movie, I only knew that there were handcuffs and SM plots.

1. The symbol of the dog

It was the dog that was impressed. Wolf dog. Compared with ordinary dogs, wolf dogs are very cruel and greedy, like a desire to act. At first it just looked at you quietly in the woods, silent and silent (like an invisible barrier in marriage). When the male protagonist dies, it really appears on the scene. The desire begins to feast (the marriage problem of the male and female protagonist is slowly revealed), and the male protagonist is swallowed by his own desire. At the beginning, the dog didn't give me much imagination, until the film described the indecency of the heroine's father after the heroine had a woman's body, and the metaphor about the dog was also used. It's like saying, "He smelled blood and started acting like a dog." (Blood is the first menarche of the heroine).

Only then did I discover that this dog may have a deeper meaning in addition to plot needs.

2. You can lie and face me, but the truth allows you to escape.

Regarding the heroine, when I read it, I only thought of two words, escape. Her attitude towards her husband, father, herself, "Reaper" is simple and rude across the board. I can't stop you, but I can stop myself. Don't think, don't listen, silence cowardly and cowardly coexist with fear. She struggled a lot. She was the kind of forbearance of imposing compromises, the kind of stance to protect herself with concessions, and the kind of powerlessness that always felt that she was at the end of her life. Such a woman will never grow in the true sense without experiencing some self-tearing. But this kind of growth is too difficult. It is difficult enough to face the pain that has been closed for several years under the solar eclipse, it is difficult enough to cut the wrist and sacrifice with blood, and it is difficult to escape, and it will still have nightmares day and night. But at every step, she was walking. She overcame her fears little by little, defeated herself little by little, got rid of the shadows of the old days, and walked towards the new sunshine. The sentence, "You are much smaller than I thought" is really from the bottom of my heart, hard-won, with a feeling of aftermath. Looking closely at the face of the heroine at that time, when a person begins to trust his soul and body, she will look extremely firm.

3. Handcuffs and rings

The handcuffs were given by the husband, and so was the ring. The handcuffs hold the body, the ring holds the soul. To break free from the handcuffs is to break free from pain, and to abandon the ring is to abandon death (give the ring to the "Reaper" when escaping).
