Maybe everyone is Old Dolio, who grew up in the world constructed by his parents, and then clashes and connects with the world, such as baby toddlers (social work courses in movies are simply similes), there is a kind of learning in society, and people get along.
Each character is very unique.
Parents are so natural in their narcissism that they completely ignore the feelings of their daughters, talk to themselves that hurts others, and ultimately make no compromises.
Old Dolio is like a piece of white paper. He has found himself in a strange world outside his parents. From the high pressure given by his parents at the beginning and the loss of control of the outside world, to the jealousy of Melaine joining the family (team), emotions gradually accumulate, accumulate, accumulate, and explode. I started with the god of Melaine and experienced a journey of healing.
Melaine's role is simply magical, so you have to know what you want and get along with people freely. Old Dolio is completely the opposite. Freely integrated into the team of his parents, claiming to be a daughter, received the acceptance and love of Old Dolio's parents, causing Old Dolio's jealousy. In the end the plot unfolds, she gradually fell in love with Old Dolio, abducted her, "forced" her to accept the love of "normal people", Old Dolio's jealousy turned into salvation.
The director's downplay of gender is also a key stroke. "It is everything and nothing." (Wood) Only when Melaine is a girl can it be reasonable to replace Old Dolio with parents' love for their daughters.
Melaine thought that she was a partner in the crime to her parents, and she liked Old Dolio. Her parents thought Melaine was a lover. Her daughter initially discovered that Melaine was more like a daughter than herself, and robbed her parents of love, but finally found that Melaine cared about herself and became My partner. The cognitive dislocation, conflict and contradiction between the three parties broke out when Old Dolio questioned his parents.
There are also a few points I like very much:
There is no discussion about the influence of gender on love in the overall situation, "it just is", it is natural.
Parents never compromise in the end, "they can just be how they are", without giving false hope, this is the normal state of life.
Old Dolio's fear of physical contact, and finally shaking hands with strangers after the earthquake, and finally accepting Melaine, the process of gradually letting go of guard is very interesting. Especially the first time she took the initiative to contact others was to remove her false nails, which was very nonsensical, but this was the first time she took the initiative to contact others physically. The sunlight in the lens was so gentle, her face showed a trace of tension being stared at by Melaine. "As the movie is so lack of intimacy, this scene is so intimate without showing any sex." (Wood) If you know the metaphor of fingers for Les, then... ahem.
In addition, there is a small detail. A man gave Old Dolio a toothpick. His mother said to Old Dolio, "if any man gives you wood, it means you give him wood." At the end of the meal, one of them flashed quickly. In the scene, Old Dolio gave Melaine a toothpick. Ha ha. Baby steps are so cute.
Finally, my perception is that weirdness is not necessarily unloved, but the premise is to look as beautiful as Evan Rachel Wood.
