The creatively lacklustre grandstanding

Just talk about the experience of watching the movie, there is nothing technically faulty about this film: the editing is neat, the suspense is catching, the symbolism is clear, and the details are numerous.

But the aftermath of the plot in the final dive made the entire logic line shake into a puddle. From the perspective of logic, the heroine’s massive fantasies burst the entire storyline, and all conflicts are the inner waves of delusional schizophrenia. If a tolerant audience can peacefully accept everything is a brain hole, but as the mystery unfolds, the mess of emotional logic has almost become an inversion of cause and effect. A woman, even if she has a mental illness, is crazy enough, but loves so much that she feels so painful that she takes it for granted, this is obviously difficult to prevaricate with "women are mysterious".

Digression: The difference between an individual and an individual is far greater than the difference determined by gender between men and women. Labeled statements like "women are mysterious", in this era when humans’ understanding of themselves has advanced to such a high level, in fact, chanting "why do women do not have children" with the rural grandma is actually a level of backwardness. . In fact, "men" are also "very mysterious"; in fact, "people" are "very mysterious". It is nothing but empty words to emphasize the "how and how of a woman" without being able to specify what the "how and how" specifically corresponds to. Today, the objectification of women has been put on the stage to criticize, but this kind of empty talk about labeling gender is still prevailing in various places, especially in the art world, letting the work divorce the facts in imagination.

Women look for images of different men in the same man. This is just an Animas complex based on psychoanalysis, and there is nothing special about it. Similar little girls hope that boyfriends sometimes look like fathers, sometimes like younger brothers, and sometimes like older brothers. Is this kind of entanglement less common? In this complex, the twin factor is introduced, a comparison between a herbivore man and a carnivorous man, and then weaves suspense. No matter how novel the technique is, the essence of emotion is at the level of an idol romance drama. Finally, a rare medical special case of parasitic fetus is added. In addition to the shock of the horrible picture, guilt and the mother-daughter relationship are added to achieve a specious emotional construction. Then she turned it upside down once: as the only child, the heroine had a complicated relationship with her mother, and she was pregnant with a parasitic fetus, so she subconsciously developed a strong interest in twins and became a delusional schizophrenia based on sexual fantasies. In every link here, there are actually many possible evolutionary possibilities, but they are forced to twist into the final appearance by relying on strong interpretations and superficial interpretations.

No matter how the director Ou Rong himself explained, the biggest concern of the film is indeed the sex of the heroine. But what is the essential desire of the heroine that sex embodies in it? Escape the shackles of the original family? The last hug and two tears reconciled. Is it the fascination with Gemini and the desire for multiple selves? Being gang raped in the sex dream of the Animas complex seems more expressive. Is it subconscious guilt of parasitic fetuses? It seems to make sense, but I don't see any mechanism of the connection between guilt and sexual desire at all. And a very simple question is: It’s obviously a stomachache that can be clarified by a B-ultrasound, how can it turn into a nervous breakdown?

There are many singularities and golden sentences frequently appear, but the characters are hypocritical and pretentious, just to shoot a sex thriller, are you tired after going around such a big circle?

Twins have always been an important subject in human art. It seems to bring out the identity of people for a moment, allowing the same person to obtain two presences at the same moment, that is, two completely different experiences of existence. But the romanticization of this perspective is actually based on the confusion between the overall self and the conscious self Ego, which is actually just an over-interpretation from the perspective of a third party. An almost paradoxical fact is that when a Gemini must discover both himself and another Gemini, it is logically possible to doubt their self-identity, and the clearer the knowledge, the more likely it is to generate identity. Crisis (recognizing similarities), the less likely it is to produce an identity crisis (recognizing differences). To a certain extent, this is just a choice of personal temperament: people who are not twins, hoping for multiple lives, will also be obsessed with twins; being twins themselves, they pay attention to their own destiny, and they don't care about this.

There are countless mes in one person. There is only one Ego, but there will be many different sides under Self. They overlap each other, and they seem to change their shapes and shapes. This is actually normal. Whether they are regarded as their own clones is actually just It’s just a preference. The essential problem is that if it is difficult for a person to establish contact with the world, then when this desire develops inwardly, it may manifest itself as an expectation of twins, a hope that oneself and oneself will be friends and lovers. At this point, the movie hardly mentions, everything revolves around sex, set up a few mirrors, take a few windows, close-up a few vaginas, and make up something about the vagina is a symbol of the absurdity of a woman’s window to the soul. , And then rolled on half of the bed. In the end, when the logic collapsed, when the individual had to face the problem of estrangement from the world, she shed a few tears at the photos of the operation and she was "the mother's dearest". How can such a heart make people feel so embarrassed, and how can people earnestly accept your breakdown?

The tricks are tricky, not necessarily sincere, and not necessarily clear in your head. There is no need to be superstitious about the creative depth of the so-called well-known international directors. Many things get rid of the halo and restored to look at them. In fact, it is just like that. When skills are mature and creativity is exhausted, curiosity and grandstanding becomes natural.

This is universal humanity.
