Because of desire, the bottom line of our lost humanity

On the surface, it is a story of a man's possession of a woman, but behind this imagery and extremism is a man's restraint in his sense of proportion to his own desires.
The elderly don’t need to ritualistically look forward to the wedding on the calendar every day. As those wretched tourists said, there is no one on this boat, and it is a “utopian” world outside the social rules. So in this world, in a world without any restraint and moral restraint, the only thing that can be restrained is your own heart. You can choose to let it go. Human beings also extremely and realistically reproduce all aspects of human nature's inherent evil - evil causes and evils, all of which are self-inflicted. On the other hand, the old man in "Bow" restrained his original instinctual desire in human nature, and under his self-restraint, he married a young girl with a sense of ritual, and then became husband and wife. Just like the bow, there is a degree of relaxation and a degree of desire. However, the beginning of restraint was disturbed by the appearance of the youth, who aroused the inner darkness of the old man: possessiveness and selfishness. So he started in his own world, ignoring the time, changing the date; trembling all over the girl for the last time on the swing, almost shooting the girl. Because of selfish desires, the old man began to lose his reason and his original bottom line. Until the girl and the teenager decided to leave, he wrapped a rope around his throat. If he let the boat walk, it would be a bloody story, but the director's brilliant place was when the old man was struggling to find a dagger at the last moment to cut the rope. Another instinct in his nature, the death instinct, is reflected, and at the same time, he returns to the rationality in human nature. So we saw a surreal scene. When the girl wanted to share the bed with the old man, the old man chose to use his soul to have sex with the girl, and then he followed the ship that had accompanied him all his life to sink into the sea. This is his restraint of love, restraint of desire, and the best ending. But if you think about it carefully, why is it acceptable for us to have sex with a girl in our soul, and why do we feel dirty when an old man's body has sex with a girl? Isn't the old man's love sincere? Is it unbearable for him to fall in love with a 16-year-old girl because of his age? In fact, although we feel that many of the ship's passengers are extremely vulgar, why don't we not use the worldly eyes to judge everything about others like those ship passengers?
