Judging from the movie's light and music and the weirdness of editing, it should be more than just to create a simple atmosphere of horror. In this unrealistic description, the director should also express a spiritual level. If we look at the film from the perspective of pregnant women, it is not difficult to find that the two heroines in the film are or were pregnant women, and both of them are obviously in a state of anxiety. Then we might as well regard this film as a perfect and perverted interpretation of prenatal anxiety.
When watching the film, I always doubt whether these bloody stories have actually happened. If my suspicion is correct, then we have good reason to think that the characters in the story, whether it is Scissor Girl or the weak police, are the heroines. The personality projection is at least the personification of one's own anxiety. There are a few points that we need to pay special attention to.
1. When the car accident happened, the heroine drove the car, so she would subconsciously think that she killed her husband, or that she would at least feel a sense of guilt. The guilt generalizes to the unborn baby, so the feeling of the baby is very complicated, and there is the next story of the baby (of course this is only one reason).
2. Through the inadvertent mention of a relative of the heroine (the one who just came out and invited the heroine to her house for Christmas), we can know that since her husband died in a car accident, she seemed to have a leg with her boss, but from the female When the protagonist looks at her husband's photo, we can know that she still loves her husband very much, and this kind of conflict will also increase her anxiety.
3. The prenatal check-up was when the heroine met a scornful female nurse. The seemingly careless words of the nurse must have left a deep shadow in the heroine’s subconscious, thinking that "the child wants the mother Of life".
I think the above three points are the cause of the heroine's anxiety and the cause of such an unrealistic story.
After talking about the causes of anxiety, let's talk about the mental archetypes of the characters in the story.
1. Our female number one is our consciousness, or our ego (self). She has the same personality no matter whether she is unified in the present world or in the unreality. Survive, love children, love husband, a little indifferent.
2. Then there is our Scissor Girl. She can be seen as the externalization of the heroine's guilt (the woman in the car accident and the death of her husband, and the boss has a leg), as can be seen from the film, this guilt has been alienated into The hatred of the unborn child.
3. The police. This is a bit problematic. In fact, an incompetent policeman is like a passerby. It is optional, but from another perspective, we can regard the last killing of the policeman as the savior as a way of praying for salvation to the heroine. set off. If you think about it this way, you can use them as a manifestation of the incompetence of the self-defense mechanism against the evil subconscious. Or mirror the social background of the turmoil in France at that time, and regard the incompetent police as a manifestation of the heroine's super-ego powerlessness (the turbulent social background happens to reflect the heroine's inner anxiety.
4. Finally, it is about the views of the heroine's boss and mother. , These two are both characters who really exist in life in this world. They were also killed as saviors. The most interesting thing is that the mother was killed by her own daughter, and we can see from the indifferent family relationship of the heroine. The relationship between the mother and daughter should not be very good. To some extent, the heroine also blames this anxiety on the mother.
Seeing the moment when the heroine wakes up, this is also the most confusing place. , Let us have to guess whether this bt story really happened, but I still feel that everything is just a spiritual story of self-salvation, even if it is a bloody metamorphosis.
