At the beginning of the film, it can be seen that Barbara loves her son Tony very much, the kind of normal maternal love. But her husband, Tony's father, is very indifferent to Tony. At this time Tony got normal maternal love but not normal father love. Slowly Tony grew up, and a baby became a little boy. He found a place where his parents lived and wanted to live with them, but he was opposed by his father. I don’t know how Barbara feels at this time. Maybe there is nothing we can do. But what’s worse is that Tony is only interested in the same sex. For this reason, Barbara is very anxious. She wants to change Tony’s sexual orientation. She takes Tony to ask the French guy for help, but Tony is unwilling to let the French guy help, and that Not only did the Frenchman fail to help Tony, but also laughed at Tony. For this, Barbara was very disappointed. It can also be said that it was the first time desperate.
Next, Barbara intends to save her son Tony by herself, but she does not "go into battle in person" and use her body to help Tony, because this is not the most desperate time. In the film, Barbara seduces her husband to have sex with herself. The reason for saying "seduce" here is because it can be seen that her husband is not willing to have sex with her at all. We know that a woman will not ask a man who is unwilling to have sex with herself to come to her. Make love, but Barbara does it because she loves Tony, and she wants to use this method to make her son Tony interested in women. In the film, Barbara is lying on the bed, her husband "fuck" her from behind, whether humiliated or excited, during which Barbara looked up and looked out the window. It was obvious that Tony was peeking out of the window to watch them have sex. Barbara smiled, because at the moment her goal was achieved, she just wanted Tony to watch her make love, so that Tony would be interested in women. At this point in the movie, we can feel that the relationship between their mother and child has actually changed slightly. In a normal family, no mother wants to be seen by her son when she has sex. Barbara did this because she was helpless. She also understood that after doing this, maybe her son would really transfer his interest from the same sex to a woman, but the woman might be herself. That is to say, I may become the object of sexual fantasies for my son in the future. At this point, we can say that maternal love is great, and Barbara has ignored all the consequences in order to save her son. But there may also be a kind of unspeakable love here, a kind of "erotic desire" of women towards men. The women and men here are especially Barbara and Tony. Desire is a terrible and attractive thing. Don't think that in the most noble and innocent relationship in the world like between mother and child, there is only "love" and no "desire". If it hadn't, there wouldn't have been so many incest tragedies. We can't see this "desire" because it violates our morals and ethics, so we fear, so we avoid it.
But unfortunately, Tony still hasn't changed, and Barbara has only one last resort, and that is to find Tony a girlfriend. Tony only slept with his girlfriend for one night and got tired of it, and Tony's girlfriend was abducted by Barbara's husband again. This is the biggest blow to Barbara. Barbara is completely desperate... Barbara's despair can be seen from her forgetting to bring money back to the hospital after a fight with her husband at the airport. She also tried to commit suicide, but was rescued by Tony. A woman, her son is gay, and her husband is abducted by her daughter-in-law, is there a bigger blow than this?
We say that people in despair will no longer consider any ethics. Barbara’s despair provides the possibility for further "changes" in the relationship between mother and child. After Barbara was rescued from suicide, she took a bath naked in the bathtub. Tony was squatting beside her. Barbara's lazy expression and distracted eyes were no longer like a mother, but more like Tony's lover. This lens is very beautiful, and there is also such a lens in another movie "Luna", even more beautiful than this one. At this moment, Tony may no longer be a son in Barbara's eyes, but a lover.
Tony finally had a gay man and fell asleep together. Barbara didn't stop Tony from looking for a boyfriend. It can be seen here that Barbara has acquiesced to the arrangements of fate in despair and no longer changes anything. Barbara at this time can be said to be just a woman, a desperate woman, a weak woman, she needs a man, and a man to appease her lonely and desperate heart, whether this man is her son or her son's boyfriend. Barbara is wearing a large nightgown, her feet bare, and the sun shines on her face, setting off the charm of a middle-aged woman. Tony’s boyfriend gently put his hands on Barbara’s shoulders, and finally Barbara unfastened his son’s boyfriend’s belt... Tony came back and saw his mother and her boyfriend sleeping on the bed, her white body and herself The contrast of his Spanish boyfriend's dark body stimulated Tony deeply. In the end, Tony stroked his mother's body. The mother was touching him while kissing his boyfriend. The director tried his best to express their inner struggle through this chaotic relationship, which made people feel suffocated. At this point in the movie, it can be said that all the deepest things in human nature have been dug out. Morality, ethics, and law, nothing can stop the release of human nature, maybe only in this chaotic relationship, this kind of incest-like scene Only then can the depression in the protagonist's heart be released. The movie has reached its climax, and no one can guess what will happen next. Indeed, all the ethics and morals that restrain people no longer exist here. It is the reality that obliterates the ethical standards in their hearts.
Because I have been desperate, I am no longer afraid, no longer afraid. Barbara was wearing a red dress, stroking Tony's crotch with her hand, and said, "I think you don't mind", "If you don't mind, just enjoy it." Tony didn’t press his mother under him. (In the movie "Mom’s House", the son finally presses on his mother. This is no different from the "sex" of an ordinary woman, so I think this is a failure. The symbol of male power is the expression of naked sexual desire, without any sense of beauty) and here is Barbara riding on Tony to break through the last secular bottom line. Here I think it is the most successful part of the whole filming. This is not an ordinary male and female sex, nor is it an vent of desire. It is the contact between the soul of the mother and the son in despair, and the physical comfort between the mother and the son. Barbara frowned, gasping gently on her son. Her dying youthful face is undoubtedly revealed through her beautiful eyes. This is a beautiful picture. "What do you think", "I don't know", "We can do that kind of thing" This is the dialogue after they finish, everything goes with the flow, everything is so plain, no thrilling, no exaggerated ecstasy... …
Tony is unfortunate and lucky at the same time. Unfortunately, he has never received his father’s love and has been living in despair. Fortunately, he has a mother like Barbara. His mother’s despair makes him have Opportunity to break through the shackles of the world with my mother and explore the world beyond the secular and moral. Although the relationship between mother and child that transcends morality and secularity will be spurned, but in despair, after being completely abandoned by the real world, this is not a kind of mutual comfort.
Perhaps the screenwriter was scrupulous and did not dare to offend the secular world completely, so in the end the son killed his mother and the son went to prison. Both mother and child went to destruction. Or maybe this is a movie adapted from real events. The ending of the event is that the son killed his mother and the son went to jail. The screenwriter respected the facts and handled the ending of the movie this way.
The last sentence is the same. This is not a movie with an "Oedipus" plot. Barbara has sex with her son not to change his son's homosexuality. They hug each other in despair, and comfort each other through their bodies in despair.
