"The mask will completely destroy the morals of all human beings, names, status, occupations... All these labels will no longer matter, and they will all feel strange to each other. It will be natural to be alone, and there will be no need to feel guilty about it." - "The Face of Others"
How to face and experience the spiritual dictatorship in the era of not taking dreams as horses.
Okuyama, disfigured in an accident, accepts a doctor's proposal to change his face, and he wants to avenge his wife, whose indifference hurts his masculine dignity.
After he successfully seduced his wife and made love to her, the wife said that she had already seen that it was him.
In the end, Okuyama killed the doctor, and no one in this world will know the secret of his face change, but is he really invincible in the spiritual realm? The answer is of course no.
The focus of interpretation of this film should be to explain what Okuyama did after putting on the mask. Personas are ubiquitous in our daily life, but Okuyama falls into madness. He expresses the strength of the tsunami stone that rests with him, and uses the mask to exercise morality and beasts. Crazy side. It is true that, as a successful person in society, Okuyama has the capital to show his temperament and style. However, his behavior implies a desire for power and an unequal social relationship with his wife. Such a relationship makes him Being in a state of confusion and confusion, the original value system has also changed after the face is changed. Because of the inexplicable personality impulse, the writing is full of turbulence and madness.
When Okuyama tried to take off his mask - the moment he showed his true self to his wife, he was told by his wife that he had already seen it. Okuyama was once again angry and ashamed, but not ashamed of his shameless and crazy desire to control. He seems to have found that he has fallen into a deeper moral predicament. Guessing that the will of his personality has not been extended, his spiritual lifeline or plot has fallen behind bars, and the platform of his life has been occupied by doubts and excitement. In fact, he can choose a more noble way to be demanding. Perfect yourself to gain the affirmation and love of your wife. What he is eager to try in his bones is only the desire for power and the longing to travel through the ravines. He never thought that power corrupts human nature the most. Between the outlines of Ukiyo-e, there are clusters of flowers that are feasts of human nature or sacrificial offerings, bright and mixed.
Okuyama's personality structure collapsed precisely because he couldn't identify himself from others. His attempts and challenges are not because he loves his wife, but on the contrary, he is the sigher and indulgence of his soul, and he wants to prove himself at the level of spirit and flesh, without caring about the collapse of his wife's heart. The cramping and cramping of life made him choose absolute control and resistance, but he did not have any humane reflection on himself, but let the cage of loneliness overturn himself like a poison.
Masks can destroy the morality of human beings, but alone, they still can't achieve a level-headed situation, but they are living in the barren and cold deserts. After all, one's mind cannot be transcended and refined in a purer tolerance.
Emotional fragility and whistling are always on point in Japanese films. There is no absolute call sign and struggle, quite a bit of the true taste of Tantai Wangyou.
