Contrary to imagination, the story directly enters Barbara's upper world at the beginning, instead of focusing on the love between her and her husband. In order to interact with the upper-class nobles, she often forced her husband who was not sociable to attend with her, and entrusted her infant son to her mother.
In the banquet, Barbara's strong style was at a glance. She not only tried to gain the dominance in the banquet, but also tried to control her husband. Perhaps because of his love for her, the husband still followed her wishes, but was frustrated by Barbara's seemingly joking question.
The husband who answered incorrectly was punished by watching his wife get into a strange man's car and leave. The sleepless husband waited for his wife to return. After returning home, the wife picked up her son who was still asleep and ignored her husband who pretended to be asleep.
For the first time, we learned that Barbara does not love this man.
After Little Tony grew up, he knew that his mother chose this husband because his grandmother felt that she should marry a rich man. Therefore, we once again know Barbara's strong desires and feelings.
Barbara is accustomed to using her own advantages to get what she wants, whether it is to attract distinguished guests from France with her beauty, or to try to eliminate her husband's dissatisfaction and anger with her body. However, when the husband chooses the back pose in bed, I would rather think that the husband is trying to control her at this time, rather than unwilling to see her face, because at this time he still loves the woman in front of him.
Rather than saying that Barbara had an incestuous plot with Anthony in order to "treat" Anthony's sexual orientation, it is more that she can only use her own habit to satisfy her own desires and trap the only dependence in her life. The way to deal with men---control and body, to achieve the goal of Anthony being by his side forever.
The reason I think so is because it was the first time Tony brought her close male classmate home from childhood, and when one seemed to sleep naked on the bed while the other was taking a bath in the bathtub in a happy mood. Compared to her father's thunderous rage, Barbara, the mother, looked visibly calmer, and exchanged a knowing smile between the mother and the child.
In the last scene, when Barbara finds that Anthony is walking very close to a gay man, as if she is afraid of losing him and trying to control him, Barbara teases Anthony, and she enjoys it. But when Anthony was finally satisfied, he suddenly asked his mother a sentence that had nothing to do with lust: "Where did you put it?" At
first glance, I thought it was a very yellow sentence, and I only learned it later. , I was asking about the hidden dog collar.
Regarding the meaning of the collar, maybe we can go back to the afternoon of childhood. When Little Tony was out on a picnic with his mother, he told her mother that he had left the collar of the dead dog. At this time, he and his mother were carefree. Live.
Then, time came to the young Anthony who was living in Spain. When he was intoxicated with marijuana and indulged in joy with his lover, his mother told him that his father had been abducted. Finally, the director took the camera to the collar hung on the wall.
Perhaps the meaning of the collar should be everyone's biggest question except for the question of why he suddenly killed his mother. In my opinion, the collar represents the childhood happiness and innocence that Anthony desperately wants to keep. Therefore, the mother who hid the collar in order to force him to grow up meant to take away his innocence and laughter, but Anthony, who wanted to free himself completely, chose to kill his mother.
I like the last scene. It seemed that Anthony, who had woke up from a nightmare, suddenly called to order a takeaway, "I feel very hungry." This is a good meal for him as if he was finally relieved after his father left. So Anthony, who got the takeaway, sat quietly next to the body of his mother, who had no blood but had a knife in his abdomen, eating fried noodles while waiting for the police to arrive.
