I don't think this film is narrative. More like the mind of a schizophrenic person. This man has sunshine and darkness, religious love and irony, sexual desire and shame... very real.
Everyone has dark thoughts and we can't talk to anyone to listen to. That's why we feel emotional when we see these things being photographed.
For incest, father and daughter, brother and sister, mother and son, have many people had these thoughts, taboo always means temptation.
For violence and crime, secretly photographing women, beheading people, fighting in groups, shooting people with machine guns, this feeling of acting on impulse, seeing blood sprayed on the white walls, (beautify these actions, especially the ridiculous secret photography training, also Having that reason to sin for sin's sake also shows people's psychology, I'm right, I'm cool.) A lot of people have these thoughts and think they're cool, and that's right.
When it comes to sex, especially teens, there is always a torn between abstinence and impulsiveness. Everyone has sage moments, which also represent opposite sides of sex. We have impulses, and passions are always difficult to resist, except in the moment of gratification. I always think about it every time after masturbating, and never do it again. It would be great if there were no such thing as eroticism in the world (not abstinence, but to completely eliminate these ugliness).
I won't talk about the two sides of religion. Is God good or evil?
One of the sins that this movie doesn't mention, I would say, is a common one. At least I have some. For small children, kittens, puppies, there is always an urge to destroy. For a slender boy and girl, there is always a desire to see him being bullied.
In the film, it is said that sexual desire is the source of sin, and it is said in the film that love can redeem everything, and desire and love always want to accompany. Where there is love, there will be desire. Can it be said that love is the root of evil? For the two protagonists, the most direct reaction after falling in love at first sight is desire.
