On the Influence of Childhood Shadows on Personal Growth——Take the protagonist of "The Beast in the Cabinet" as an example~

The movie is called "Closet Monster". To be honest, I don't like the Chinese translation. "The Beast in the Cabinet" is like a fool. The protagonist is not wild. The Taiwanese translation of "Lover Monster" is better. By the way, at first glance at the name, you will think that this film is only about the out-of-the-box type of the three types of rainbow films, but after watching it, it is not actually, and the whole lustful part is very scary. I think the director is this. It's really good to do it with one hand. Indeed, if the movie relies on selling meat, can it be made into porn?
It can be said that two clues run through the film, and in the end both clues are freed, which is the so-called "coming out".
The protagonist witnessed a case when he was a child (a group of unscrupulous teenagers used a long nail to penetrate the backyard of a gay teenager, causing his lower body to be paralyzed for life.) At that time, the protagonist was very young (elementary school) and was greatly stimulated. Then he returned that night. When I got home and saw the news in the news, he asked his father "Why do those people treat him this way?" Dad simply said, "Because he is gay." Maybe the protagonist is too young to know the real meaning. After that, this is the shadow of childhood. In the future, when the protagonist is sy or ML with other people, the pleasure is accompanied by fear, and then it will be played that the nail is pierced out of his stomach (every time, very scary, almost Scared to cry,,,), and then when he went to a party for the first time, you know, when he was doing with others, he remembered the scene he saw in his childhood, and then he began to vomit "nails" with blood, which was very scary It was particularly terrifying, until the climax at the end, he finally overcame his fear and pulled the "nail" out of his stomach to achieve liberation. Then go to the beach to live alone. (The protagonist was born with a very long umbilical cord and almost strangled him to death. The nails here also have the meaning of an umbilical cord. Of course, all the shots are imagination. But the special effects are very realistic).
Also, the protagonist has a hamster to accompany him since he was a child, kept in a cage, it can talk (only the protagonist can understand, of course this is also an imaginary way to deal with it), at the end of the film he released it to complete another meaning "gay".
It’s worth mentioning that the protagonist’s father, a scumbag, has a one-night stand with different women. He regards money as his life,,, but it’s okay,,, he likes to spray people passing by with water when he sprays the lawn ( In the film, both male and female 2 who are close to the protagonist are sprayed with water~ and then say "I'm sorry, I didn't see you") Uh, I
suddenly don’t want to write, let’s do it, the music of the film is very good, hope There are resources in the country.
