Victory is plain.
Before I saw it, I was curious about one thing, why can a person live 3096 days after being kidnapped? The victim must always be in a controlled position. Once the prisoner gets tired of this relationship, he can kill him directly. This will not bring him any burden, after all, he is already a sinner who has not been caught. Therefore, the prisoner should be looking forward to a long-term relationship. Although he imprisoned and controlled Natasha on the surface, he still cannot change his passive position in this emotional relationship.
When discussing portraits of prisoners in many novel crime movies, they always portray them as extremely anti-social, as if they were born to live in blood and sin. Only blood and people's fear can evoke their happiness. This may be really exciting and eye-catching in just one or two hours, but it is not human at all.
The film portrays the image of the prisoner and Natasha in a very nuanced manner through a plain description of each day. I believe that the person who shot this film is really doing their best to restore the whole process.
The prisoner fell in love with Natasha at first sight, and a smile made him spend more than half a year building a shelter for Natasha. Before that, he might never have thought that he would kidnap him, he might think he was a good person. At that moment, his mind was probably full of desire to monopolize Natasha. If such a quirky and cute girl becomes his possession, I will definitely live a lot happier than I am now. So he implemented the plan.
In the process of getting along with Natasha, the prisoners are actually really earnestly establishing a connection with each other, unlike Natasha, just coping. When Natasha needed a goodnight kiss, he really walked back and left a goodnight kiss gently, instead of thinking that he was invited and raped. It can be seen that the prisoner himself was in a contradictory state of the relationship between the two. He didn't think about how he should treat Natasha, but he knew he needed her. It is this kind of temptation and contradiction that bought us the foreshadowing, suggesting that later prisoners will not abandon or kill Natasha, because Natasha is not an ordinary tool for venting.
In the eyes of the prisoner, they spent a long and healthy time together. Because he was born extremely insecure, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he was close to other women. And getting along with one's own appendages does not have this problem. Of course, this may be part of the reason why he didn't get close to Natasha but was kidnapped directly after he fell in love with Natasha. He couldn't accept the loss and couldn't stand the failure. Kidnapping is equivalent to a strategy of "getting benevolence if you don't succeed", and he did plan very well. Having said that, Natasha has become his lover and wife from his appendage, that is, an unidentified child. In this part, it is already very clear that the prisoner cannot do without Natasha. It is already a kind of sickness and The ultimate love.
The heroine Natasha may be more competitive than most of us. After being kidnapped, she didn't complain about herself, but actively read books, interpreting the stories of teachers and students that would appear in the classroom, which shows that she has been learning and yearning for the outside world. After some getting along with the prisoner, she found a suitable way to give him encouragement and a positive response, although she would never be truly grateful to the prisoner. This shows that she has never compromised with "the prisoner obeying him overtly and secretly", and has allowed herself to protect herself in a dangerous relationship. After all, if she could only cry all day long and didn't respond to any interaction of the prisoner, the prisoner would definitely regret that he had killed her with so much effort. When the relationship between the two gradually stabilized, I thought that if it were me, I might already be grateful that I can have a life that looks like "a happy family and contact with the outside world". Natasha has been keeping herself awake. After the wedding night of the two, she may have felt that she was actually happy with the relationship, so she decided to commit suicide and escape. Every time an opportunity for help in the later period slips away, she will reflect on it afterwards.
It was all these efforts that allowed her to escape the cage.
In fact, I don’t like the two lines repeatedly emphasized at the beginning and end of the movie, “I know that only one of us can live, and this person is me, not him.” This sentence seems to imply that Natasha is talking to the prisoner. Played a game, and she eventually won.
But it actually feels more like Natasha playing with herself. The prisoner never expressed that the two of them can only survive one. What he hopes is that both of them will survive and live happily. Whether it was Natasha's death or his death, the end result was his death. So unless Natasha committed suicide, it was impossible to die. Was Natasha doing it herself, was she just giving up and dying, or insisting on waiting for a chance to escape? The choice between the two, the game between despair and the desire to survive.
This is why the film gives me a sense of sadness in the fate of prisoners. He loves Natasha too much, so from closing the basement at the beginning to later giving her a chance to contact the society, he finally thought that the two could get along as a normal couple. Even when he caught Natasha who might want to ask for help, he didn't let her stay in the basement again. He actually took things that threatened his life so easily. He was indulged in a dream that he and Natasha built together, but he thought that both of them were sinking, and in fact, he was the only one who fell into the quagmire of the relationship and ultimately destroyed.
So this is actually a tragedy that belongs to the two. I don't know how Natasha treated the prisoner in the end, but when she asked the two policemen "how is his situation", they hesitated for a moment and finally said nothing. Maybe they know that this is not good news for Natasha, and it may even bring sadness. How can the death of a person who has been alone for eight years remain indifferent?
This kind of kidnapping is indispensable, but the fetters formed in these 3096 days are far more than just the kidnappers and the kidnappers. I only hope that Natasha will never regret her decision to leave that door, not to be succumbed to the difficult process of her re-contacting the world after eight years, not to miss the memories of these eight years, and not to become a game after the criminal commits suicide. The second loser.
