A proposition I have always cared about is the possibility of love at a time when human values and aesthetics are becoming more and more the same. Genetic differences have been replaced by plastic surgery or various surgeries, and our values have become more and more assimilated. If we have the same face, how should I find you? Nojima's answer is that you don't have to look for it at all, it's me who is by your side. This answer is, of course, rude and evasive. The question is, what is the answer?
A plot: After a beautiful woman with a burnt face escapes the old man's intended rape, the old man says, "Idiot, I just want to show good things."
Real good is what the eyes can't see. What is the function of the eyes?
After watching this film and watching "Blind Beast", I think I'm always relying on it. eye or touch.
The damaged bandaged face of the male protagonist makes his wife escape, and the wife does not even want to have sex with him in the dark. He is very sensitive, and the female secretary's "recognition" is understood as discrimination. He wanted to experiment, to change his face, to get revenge, to make his wife jealous.
When I was a child, I always thought it was incredible to see a ghost husband. The ghost husband and his wife and children went out for a walk and ignored the advice of passers-by under the inspiration of love.
The right question. If a self-respecting person suffers a disability, will he still stay by the side of the person he loves, jealousy and injustice must be bred in his heart. Even if he is temporarily moved by the confession of "don't mind", over time, the other person's health will definitely remind him of his own disability, and this kind of imbalance cannot be overcome by love.
The third question, how much can people love each other more than they love themselves? If it is not possible, it must be unfair. So what is love based on?
In The Tale of Genji, it is considered noble to hide a woman's face.
Men believe that makeup is also a kind of concealment. This is the effect of aesthetic convergence, falling into collective unconscious assimilation.
The doctor said that he had changed his face, and the male protagonist was an unregistered person, a psychologically transparent person.
Doctors and biologists diligently carry out biological scientific explorations are they actually extremely interested in human nature, constantly experimenting with the bottom line of human nature, and doing various psychological experiments.
The mask began to play its role. After the male protagonist changed his face, he began to look at the legs of the woman, and began to accept himself from the appearance inward, and derived the urge to use this face.
After the face change, the male protagonist begins to want to get rid of the doctor, just like the accomplice wants to get rid of the other party, sometimes the fear and anxiety of being known outweigh the pleasure of exclusive benefit.
The doctor said that the mask will completely destroy people's morals, and the mask is controlling the male protagonist.
Control, what a sharp word. Are we always controlled by our appearance?
identity issues. What does appearance, reputation, etc. give us, the power to give, the courage to love, the excuse to be jealous? With nothing, can one be fresh and uncontrolled?
Only the mentally retarded daughter of the administrator noticed that the male protagonist who had changed his face was wearing a bandage. It's not perception, it's instinct, it's a determination without any doubt at all. For "normal" people, is it the face that is blinding the eyes, or is it our eyes?
The doctor said that the mentally handicapped have the sense of smell of animals, irony, but normal detectives can't find it.
Can't one escape the temptation of sight?
What if I have a disability? Blind, deaf, dumb, how do you choose?
Is it possible that we, in a split second, say, I want to change, and then change, without any memory of the past. In this way, there will be no delay in making changes because of sympathy for the former self. I always feel that it is not deceptive to say "this is not like me" and "do what suits me", and I feel sorry for myself without knowing it, and fall into self-pity without changing.
I have heard some stories, become "excellent" and return to my lover. Finally, I find that the other person likes the "ugly and not excellent" original self more. The movie "Time" also talks about this. I think it may have nothing to do with "love". , which is related to people's likes to be relied upon. Feeling needed and unconscious sympathy is a fantasy that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
"Brother, are you willing to kiss me?"
"Brother, there must be a war tomorrow"
The beautiful woman with burns on her face made love to her brother.
The actor who changed his face and his wife went to bed.
Angrily tore his face off, but his wife said that she had recognized him as him.
"In love, we all try to take each other's masks.
So, I think we should try to put on masks." The
wife said that what women don't hide is the fact that they wear makeup.
Wouldn't it be acceptable if there was no mask in the first place?
The beauty with the burn on her face tied up her hair and walked slowly to the beach. The brother screamed in pain.
The drums of the soundtrack are muffled and the story reaches its climax.
The male protagonist made such a confession, "I am no one, a complete stranger."
With the identity brought by the face, he began to disagree with himself.
He followed and attempted to rape passers-by, and was arrested by the police. The police found the medical card and asked the doctor for evidence.
The last dialogue between the male protagonist and the doctor, a group of faceless passers-by came head to head.
The doctor said, "Give me back my mask. You don't understand, you're not the only one who is alone, freedom is often a lonely thing. Some masks are taken off, some are not. You are free, be free"
Actor : "Thank you, I will."
Shaking hands, killing, stroking his own but unfamiliar face.
end.
Identifying with identity and not being used by it is a good topic.
Take a look at the comments and focus on the "who am I" discussion.
Due to the unknown, no solution or lack of exploration spirit, such themes always dig problems but fail to solve them.
In addition, the original author Kobo Abe is a master of Japanese existentialism literature, which is also a good angle.
