"The Face of Others" is a masterpiece of Abe’s public housing. It is about a man whose face was destroyed by a fire. Faced with his wife’s indifference and various interpersonal panics, he sought the help of an alternative doctor. Follow his new ideas and build a new face. And his purpose in doing all this is not for a new life, but a vain attempt to seduce his wife as an "other". [Time] It's a similar story. It's just a change of face to become a woman. What drives her behavior is not revenge or destruction, but too heavy love. The heavier the love, the more it can touch the darkness of the human heart. Even if you hide yourself under different faces again and again, the soul has long known it.
She rehearsed every day and lost the
beginning of the film. A series of plastic surgery footage was very Kim Kidd. The scalpel opened the woman's eyelids, nose, jaw, and jaw. The prosthesis was accurately filled, and the bleeding blood was sucked away. After six months, the wound on the face can be completely healed, and the person becomes new, but the heart is still old, what about the wound on the heart? Sometimes time is powerless.
The story begins with a couple’s daily dating. In the small cafe, the young waitress had round cheeks and a sweet smile. Zhiyou couldn't help but took a few more glances. She happened to be caught in the eyes of the belated Shun Hee, and the nameless fire broke out. She scowled the waitress for no reason. If it is said that this date has already had a nervous beginning, then it is an embarrassing climax that followed. There was some trouble in the parking space outside the window. It turned out to be two fashionable women with good figures. Zhiyou went out and drove his car. The other party politely left a business card and said he was willing to be responsible for the bruise. , Shredded it and threw it on the opponent's face, and yelled at others "mad dog". Dare to love in her eyes, the standard of her own man's derailment is not to catch rape in bed, not ambiguous text messages, but the existence of other women themselves. Fortunately, the woman who was scolded by her had good self-cultivation. Not only did she hold on to her friend who was scolding, she also gently said to Zhiyou who was ineffective in dissuading her, "She must love you very much, and I really envy you."
This is indeed a lot of love. Although the two have been dating for two years, at least the love in Shunxi hasn't worn away a bit over time. On the contrary, her growing possessiveness made her panic. What should she do if she loses the wise friend whom she loves and possesses? It can be seen that her solution is this: anyone who starts with the worst plan in advance, assumes that he has fallen in love with someone else for himself, feels the pain from the beginning to the end, and waits for the day to come, and then you can face it grandiosely. I said to myself, I have tried to cross over, you can't beat me anymore. If this kind of rehearsal of loss is a psychological vaccine, Shun Hee's dose is obviously too large. Excessive self-hypnosis and psychological suggestion do not produce antibodies, but real viruses. In other words, Sun Hee planted a seed of "has lost him" into her subconscious, and it had taken root deeply.
That night, the two of them hugged each other in bed. Zhiyou said that today is too tired, don't do it. Soon Hee's virus broke out again in an instant. She immediately characterized Zhiyou's performance as having lost her sexual attraction. "Are you tired of me?" Soon Hee asked very candidly, and then began to talk about the woman Ji-woo met by chance last year. Her huge breasts and her appearance without clothes made Ji-woo imagine the hand reaching his lower body. Belonging to that strange woman, until he became sexually vigorous, she groaned, but her eyes were blankly looking to one side-obviously, this is a trap, give it to him, and give it to herself. The logic is very confusing. If Zhiyou follows her train of thought, it proves that he is mentally cheating, and the conclusion is that he does not love her enough; if Zhiyou resists hard, it proves that he is unwilling to obey her, and the conclusion is that he does not love her enough. . Soon Hee, who was in love so madly, broke herself like this.
In the daytime, I don’t understand the darkness of the night. It’s a fish that knows the joy of the fish. It’s all about men who never regard love as all, and never fully understand women’s sensitivity, suspiciousness, and unreasonable troubles. Zhiyou, like most men, has long practiced a man's self-defense technique of not being serious about women and pushing everything to his aunt. The next day, as usual, he was busy calling Shunxi, but without success, he killed him to Shunxi's apartment, only to find that the building was empty. His girlfriend, whom he has been with for two years, has become accustomed, and whose temperament has become a little strange recently, just inexplicably disappeared from the world.
I remember how you used to be
If I say here that love is actually the most logical thing in the world, will anyone believe it? Because of love, I will be afraid of losing. Because of love, I will regard the other person as the center of my circle. Because the other person's emotional swing is only 1°, I am exhausted on the remote arc. Either of the above two symptoms is a disaster. If they are connected in a progressive relationship, they will not be far from self-destruction. So unfortunate for Shun Hee, after suffering from gains and losses, she imagined that she was convinced of Zhiyou's boredom, and it was magnified into total self-denial. Regarding the relationship between "self" and "face", Abe Public Housing has made an overly lengthy and overly detailed explanation in "The Face of Others". It is nothing more than the truth that there is no face and no self. Soon Hee too knows it.
In the messy room, there are photos of one place, solidifying the bits and pieces of the negated old me and Zhiyou, and Shunxi stepped on his face one by one with his bare feet, stepping through the lost time. She cut up the fashion magazine, spelled out the most outstanding facial features, walked into the door of the plastic surgery hospital with it, and categorically told the doctor that she didn't need to be beautiful, but only wanted a completely different, in other words, another person's face.
In six months, only six months, she really became new. Six months was also the time she took the initiative to leave Zhiyou. It was still the cafe, still the position by the window, Zhiyou took a few more glances at the waitress again. In fact, in the past six months, Zhiyou has not been idle for a moment. He spent money to buy laughs, hooked up with old classmates, followed mask girls, and even participated in "If You Are the One". In the final analysis, it was after Shunxi left. Loneliness. Of course, this is also the way men face loss: roaring to find the next one to fill the gap, and not giving himself any chance to indulge in sorrow. For this reason, Zhiyou collected a bunch of comments such as "Don't even have self-esteem" and "" from different women. He thought that he had forgotten Sun Hee.
Zhiyou, who has already opened the radar, of course noticed that the waitresses in the cafe have changed from cute to glamorous. The most important thing is that this glamorous woman is interested in herself. A seemingly accidental coffee incident, an even more accidental ferry encounter, after visiting the sculpture park, in a traffic jam on the return journey, the woman took the initiative to put her hand into Zhiyou’s hand, and Zhiyou almost kissed the woman’s mouth with a flutter. There was loud noise from the cars behind... In the rearview mirror, a triumphant smile appeared on the woman's face.
We can easily guess that this is the return of Shun Hee from the plastic surgery. She still loves Zhiyou, and she still uses small tricks to think carefully. For example, she wrote the love letter of Feng Xing Xing Zhongxing, signed "Shun Hee" and gave it to Zhi You, which happened to lure him into the cafe, and then He ran and told him that he was called "Shahee", which was pronounced similar to Sunhee, and pretended to say that his name was superimposed on the "Shunhee" of the love letter. Zhiyou was angry, this reaction satisfied her, and Sun Hee was still important in his heart. Isn't this what she wants? Obviously, even if Shaxi has got a wise friend, her deep love still exists, which means that her possessiveness and lack of security still exist, and her number one enemy turned out to be the old and no longer self. She is happy. Shunxi was remembered by him, and he was crying and crazy for not being able to drive away Shunxi. According to the law of "you speak it out", whether it is new or old, only the one recognized by Zhiyou is valuable, and Shaxi is eager to get the answer.
This is another trap, given to Zhiyou, and also to Shaxi herself. She was already in love with Zhiyou again in the name of Shun Hee to meet him again, confident that time had already dispelled that no longer existed herself, and it was impossible to exchange for Zhiyou's decision to break up with her. After arguing in public, "Do you treat me as a prostitute?" Zhiyou left angrily and pushed her to the ground without leaving any affection. Why is there such a big deviation between imagination and reality? The negated self has actually received all the love of Zhiyou, and the self who has been in the face of others, no matter how hard it is, can't change a warm position, how ironic. From Shunxi to Shaxi, she changed faces but still loves with despair. Her love fate is not a coincidence, but a destiny.
You see, you see the face
of love. The love of the two finally got out of control. In the cafe, where he had a big fight with Shaxi, a woman with a "Shunxi" paper mask was sitting now, making Jiyou who came to the appointment stunned. Shaxi’s voice came from behind the mask, shocked. He may not have time to pay attention, she now belongs to the masked woman he has followed. In other words, during the six months of recovery, Shun Hee was not idle at all, but followed him day and night, smashed the window of his room with the prostitute, and followed him in another way.
Ji Woo was originally a good-tempered man, even a little weak in front of women, a little casual, or he would not be too neurotic in Shun Hee to be morbid, and it would be inappropriate to slap him in his sleep when Shahee inexplicably slapped him, just to say "I love you", he just replied softly "Don't hit me, I will be angry" and continued to sleep with his head covered. But after the two girlfriends merged into one, they were as slow as him, and they were also driven mad. At this point, what Shunxi did not do, Shaxi did.
On the one hand, Shaxi was walking down the street in a daze. The smiling Shunxi mask was clearly marked with two tears. She walked into the plastic surgery hospital and was told that she could not return to her original face. She tore the mask apart and left behind. , Bowed and left. On the one hand, a friend of wisdom who came after him, first transferred the responsibility to the doctor who performed the operation, and then cried "What should I do" while holding his thigh.
"No face and no self" was originally a subconscious term. In the era of Abe’s public housing, only a few people had the opportunity to experience losing their faces and changing faces, but now it’s the era of Kim Kidd, the country of Kim Kidd, and the dislocation of faces and identities. Anxious, high school students are scrambling to experience it. Whether it is for the meaning of the person itself, or the meaning of love, all based on a face, how terrible. Facing the crazy woman, Zhiyou responded frantically. For the next six months, it was his turn to change his face and disappear.
In the subway passage, Shaxi noticed a man with sunglasses, gauze and mask, and followed him to the sculpture park. The man made an ambiguous appointment. Five months later, Shaxi dressed up and went to the coffee shop to scrutinize every single man who entered. Finally, a man sat in front of her, and her smile seemed to be confident. After a conversation about Tai Chi, Shaxi took the initiative to hold the man's hand. It was not him, and her face turned cold. A man pressed her doorbell and asked inexplicably to come in for a cup of coffee. More inexplicably, she agreed, tried, inquired, and held his hand, not him. Believe again and again, and then fail, she is slowly hollowed out. After being tricked into going to bed by the masked man who came to practice the appointment, she collapsed again. Fragmented photos were scattered all the way. She pounced on every white SUV and every man of school age in the cafe, looking back and searching every corner of the stairs, in the crowd. Zhong screamed loudly with tears in his face. She firmly believes that Zhiyou, like her at the beginning, can follow and peep, she wants to find him out and continue to love him fiercely. In hysterics, she stared at a man, who turned and ran away, and at the next corner, a car pulled him under the wheel. Is he Jiyou? We don't know, nor does the crushed face, but I would rather she just believe it. If Zhiyou can die in front of her, this catastrophic love can finally end.
In the movie, no matter which face they face or who they are carrying, there is a group of sex sculptures in the beach park, quietly watching their absurdity. On "Hands in Embracing", there are pictures of Shunxi and Saxi smiling with Jiyou, and Saxi crying alone, the sea behind him is dark blue. During the six months of waiting, she hugged the lying masturbating man, the cold stone, and the temperature of love. Only with them, the attitude of loving each other will not change, as if love is frozen by time. Outside the photos and sculptures, there is no longer Shunxi, Shaxi and Zhiyou.
