The social metaphor in the long and narrow country
- watching the movie "Sad Milk"
in a remote and unfamiliar country - Peru, a girl in a remote mountainous area has a strange disease called "fear of breasts". When she fell ill at her uncle's house and was sent to the hospital, the doctor asked his uncle, what happened to her? The uncle said that the girl got sick because of the rampant terrorist violence in Peru in the past, and the girl's mother was very scared after being raped. The mother transmits this fear to her daughter through the milk, the so-called "fear of the breast". With the lines in the film: "Her mother transmits fear to her with breast milk, which we call "the breast of fear". This kind of person is born without a soul, and the soul is hidden by fear."
It sounds bizarre, but what's even more bizarre is that the girl thought the world was dangerous. In order not to repeat her mother's experience and to protect herself, she actually stuffed a potato into her vagina. Omg? There is such a thing in the world, alas. . . Self-inflicted harassment! In fact, this is the most shocking part of the film. A country is in chaos, people are struggling to live, violence, bloodshed, and rape are frequent occurrences, everyone is worried and rushed, and the law is illegal, how can citizens protect themselves? Of course this is a veiled expression.
In the film, someone expresses love to the girl, and the man said to her: "If red expresses enthusiasm, let me bathe in your menstrual blood", haha, such a crazy courtship is really scary. In such a big environment, it is no wonder that the girl has all kinds of strange behaviors, walking on the street nervously, afraid to talk to strangers, often melancholy and depressed, and afraid to face people directly, as if she has lost her soul.
When her mother died, she wanted to bury her in her home village, but she had no money. The uncle spent all the money on his daughter's wedding, and there was no way to help her. He didn't go to a musician's house as a maid.
Girls are free to sing according to the ups and downs of their own mood. This is the most original expression, the creation without trace. This also adds a poetic touch to the film. Once a musician overheard the free singing of a girl's folk song, and got creative inspiration. He asked the girl to give him a pearl on the necklace every time she sang a song. The complex psychology of the girl was vividly displayed here. She wanted to get the pearl, but she was too shy to speak up. But how to solve this problem? How can mothers "fall back to their roots"? How can her fear be eliminated? Go to the movies, that's all I've got to say.
