The movie "New Girlfriend" is no exception. It consists of two lines that contain fluidity, in which the flow of the grant-receiver relationship is implicit, and the other emotional line is explicit. For example, in the first series of clips in the film, Claire always plays a passive role next to Rose. The initiative in the two relationships is in Rose’s hands. For example, Claire helps Laura push on a swing, Claire combs her hair, And when Rose was talking about love, Claire showed a complicated expression on one side. But after Rose's death, Claire's self-positioning appeared out of balance, and it was difficult for her to find a substitute for the relationship that had been maintained for more than two decades in the social relations around her. Until this time David appeared to imitate Laura's transvestism and filled the vacancy. David also became Claire's new girlfriend. But the interesting thing at this time is that the roles of Claire and David at this time are opposite to those of Claire and Laura. In this relationship, Claire experienced all the emotions before Laura, just like when they went to the country on vacation. Claire took the initiative to occupy the room before Laura. The erotic dream that she had on the bed was a secret relationship between her and Laura. The recollection of lust is also the frustration of the incomplete relationship with David. During this time, David is like a reflection of the lives of the two of Claire’s two decades before, and David’s anxiety about his identity and confusion about the flow of emotions are precisely what Claire himself has been in for more than two decades. Struggling content. So instead of saying in the movie that Claire has been taking care of David, it is better to say that Claire is constantly reminiscing about his previous self in David. David is like his own shadow. At the same time, just like the pun game that Ou Rong has always been good at, it is not only David who is a new girlfriend to Claire, but also David who is a transvestite is also a new girlfriend to the "normal" David. identity. It was obvious at the beginning that the male factor had long dominated David’s body, but after Rose’s death, the gender element in David also began to circulate. In fact, the whole movie spends a lot of time talking about women in David’s body. The process of becoming dominant. I won't repeat it here.
Here to discuss the emotional flow between the same sex and the opposite sex in the new girlfriend movie. I personally feel that it is difficult for us to judge whether a person is heterosexual, gay, or bisexual in Ou Yung’s film simply because of Ou Yung’s movie. The protagonist’s lust is constantly flowing, including the male protagonist in the summer suspender skirt, and Claire and David in this new girlfriend. I very much agree with Peter Cat’s statement in his new girlfriend film review, "The name and definition here are only temporary expedients for communication. This is the case in Ou Rong’s film and the same in the subsequent writing of this article. Because absolute distinction does not exist, but just an illusory order constructed by reason for modern society: you are David today, and you may be Virginia tomorrow. "However, due to limited personal ability, it is difficult for me to capture the characters in the movie. This emotion shows subtle tendencies, which may require more relevant psychology and sociology knowledge.
In addition, I found that Ou Yung’s film is more interesting. He always inserts a character representing the objective or superego in all the emotional flow of the plot. This character basically penetrates through the dialogue between the protagonists or some of his own behavior. Always observe the occurrence of all plots of a movie, but do not make any comments. This kind of role experience is like having a "me" who is watching the movie and actually living in the movie. These roles include the old grass mower in the pool murder, the coal digger in Victory, the mother in Time Stay, including Jill in this new girlfriend. I'm not sure whether these characters are an embarrassing embellishment or calm thinking for the film. I think it may depend more on how we perceive all forms of sexual behavior and desire.
