Whether it's a pervert or an ordinary person, love

The director's speech film is divided into six parts. Similar to the traditional chapter novels, the story's causes and turns have been traced. However, Yuan Ziwen's actions are not out of the norm, and there are no traces of intentionality. The development of the story is extremely reasonable. Obviously everyone only needs a very simple and simple love, why is it so complicated? Why do they hurt each other so deeply, and the wounds are blurred in front of close people? The director used AV, candid photography, homosexuality, femininity, theft, religion and many other extremely marginal or topical elements. A long time ago, I always embraced the perverted culture of Asia, especially Japan, which is the epitome of wretched and twisted feelings. Now it seems that it is more about the intergenerational damage transmission of cultural relics for a long time. Kochi was harmed by a perverted father, Yoko was harmed by a father who sexually assaulted her, Yu was harmed by a twisted father, all of them are twisted, all yearning for pure love and doing perverted things, misunderstanding each other, They stabbed knives into each other's chests. Some people save themselves by harming others, some love others by themselves, and some escape from reality and do not want to save themselves.

What particularly shocked me was what Yoko said at the beach after being rescued by Yu. All the descriptions of love in the third chapter of 1 Corinthians were too shocking. This description contains nearly every love-related possibility I can think of right now. A total devotion, giving of all, sincere love. It reminds people of Fromm's "The Art of Love" that love is an ability that needs to be learned. Yu searched for her own Maria without listening, so that she eventually became obsessed with becoming a "pervert" in the eyes of normal people, constantly pursuing Yoko, and doing everything she could for her. In the end, Yoko responded to this feeling, and the last pair of outstretched hands was the self-salvation of the two?

I think so, love may be the only known, the only way to redeem each other, love each other, love each other forever.
