The two biggest enemies of mankind are fear and hope.
-"Faust"
The story starts with a couple who have been separated for a long time and live in a disharmonious life. Anna is deeply disturbed by the marriage life. She is afraid of being abandoned by her husband and longs for the passion to be loved.
Because I was afraid of being abandoned by the other party, I first embarked on the road of having an affair and ran away from home. So after Mark discovered his wife’s secret, Anna nodded when he asked "You're afraid I don't like you anymore".
For the sensitive Anna, what she longs for is a lover who can perfectly satisfy her desires while being absolutely loyal to her. Separation with her husband Mark, loneliness breeds endless desires.
The pursuit of passion and desire led to Anna's derailment. From the film, it can be seen that the adulterer Henry is full of passion and can satisfy Anna's desire for love, but Henry's feelings for the heroine are not the only ones. He has a wife and children. Being a lover, Anna couldn't let go of her love for her husband.
Then the only way is to make a deal with the devil and create a lover who looks similar to Mark and is 100% loyal to him emotionally.
Both the host and Henry thought that the heroine ran away from home and divorced to be with Henry, but it was not. At this time, the hostess had already started trading with the devil, hoping to create a perfect lover. Concentrating on completing such a work, Anna no longer cared about anything, and was stolen by a homeless man on the road without discovering her own food.
Due to the long-term separation of the two places, Mark failed to empathize with his wife's emotional needs, so he didn't realize it until his wife had derailed for more than a year, and he had to say the length of the reflex arc.
At the beginning, the coffee shop discussed divorce. Anna didn’t really want to get a divorce. She just hoped that the topic of divorce would arouse the attention of her husband to the feelings of both parties. And Mark also had a strong possessive desire for Anna. Haunted and stayed for three days.
Two lovers who are obsessive and possessive to each other become mutual torment when their love is tested. Mark beat Anna half to death, Anna picked up a knife to self-mutilate, Mark stabbed herself, hurt herself, but also hurt the person you love. Only when you see your heartache, will you feel that the person you love is me at this moment. .
But Anna looked at Mark, who had cut her arm, and said coldly: It doesn't hurt.
The pain of the soul made her unable to feel the pain of the body, and the empty heart made her body numb like a dead body.
Because of Mark's strong love and obsession with his wife, when he understands Anna's true intentions, he will help her wholeheartedly, including killing her to cover her, watching her have sex with the devil, and even sacrificing her life, etc.
As Anna's desire increased, the demon continued to evolve, from the squirming flesh and blood at the beginning, to the squid essence on the back bed, until it became a human form during intercourse, and finally evolved into the appearance of a male protagonist. While watching the squid spirit plowing on her, Anna said "almost" to Mark who opened the door and peeped. In fact, she said that her work-the perfect lover is almost finished.
But what benefits can be gained by trading with the devil? Goethe, who received lunch for N years, confirmed this answer in "Faust". Therefore, Anna was gradually bewitched by the devil, and her body and even consciousness were not under her control.
Because her possessive desire for love has never been severed, and this obsession and desire continue to stimulate the devil, so in the video footage that Mark saw, her words and deeds are more and more out of her own control.
The long shots of Adjani in the underground passage that were possessed by the devil were not so much possessed by the devil, but rather the desire in her heart that allowed the devil to be conceived in her body. She sat on the ground, her eyes lost, and she spit out white liquid, which made people feel physical nausea, blind and terrible love, and finally turned people into a puppet of the devil.
When the demon finally turned into the appearance of Mark, he had the appearance of a human and had enough energy to control passers-by to show him the way. When the devil came to Mark's home again, the innocent female teacher Helen, like the previous Mark and Anna, was guided by the love in her heart and bewitched by the devil.
The child, who symbolizes purity, already knows his end. When he heard the devil’s knock on the door, he chose to step into the bathtub and drown himself. Even if there is no desire in his heart, he can’t escape the devil’s enchantment. He can only choose Know yourself.
Such an undesirable story was banned in the UK for 18 years, and was cut off for more than 30 minutes when it was released in the United States. It was probably because the ending was too desperate-to escape the temptation of the devil, only Can choose to end their own lives, because everyone can truly have no desires and desires.
