Then one day, I saw such a piece of news on the Internet that I was quite interested, that is, GRIMM LOVE, which was finally filmed today after so many years. The description of the news on the Internet at the time was roughly as follows: Somewhere in Germany, a man named Oliver was openly looking for an adult man who was willing to be eaten by him on the Internet. As a result, a man named Semen volunteered and was eaten. Then someone on the Internet realized that the situation was not what they imagined, but a joke, so they called the police. After searching Oliver's residence, the police found some uneaten human internal organs in his refrigerator.
At the time, I felt that this fact was attractive in several points. First, this man named Oliver was not the kind of "perverted serial killer" that people generally think, because there were people who applied for the application before Semen. He had been tied to his chopping block bed, but when he was about to start, the applicant realized that this was not a joke or a gay man posted on the Internet to recruit M men, so he offered to leave, Oliver also let him go, so from a psychological and behavioral point of view, he was a pure cannibal, not a murderer; the second was the man named Simon, and the news did not provide any information at that time. The background information of this person, and compared to cannibalism and being cannibalized, I have a strong interest in the latter; third, it is the final material for writing this article today, and it was reported at that time that there was already a video The producers intend to bring this true event to the screen.
The final film, named GRIMM LOVE, is quite realistic in style. It describes the entire incident objectively from a third-party point of view through the research process of a female graduate student, and focuses on explaining Oliver and Cyril. Door childhood. For a person with mental illness, it is especially important to understand their childhood, and most traumatic experiences in childhood can insinuate their personality and behavior trends in adulthood. And GRIMM LOVE looks more like a documentary than a horror movie in the traditional sense. Because apart from the stylistic positioning, the film does not have the signature background soundtrack effect of horror films, nor any bloody scenes, nor the character's voiceless screams and desperate eyes, except for the psychological changes of the boring female graduate student. Talking about it, the two protagonists of the incident did not complete the fateful encounter they spoke of with the slightest fear or despair.
So, probably most people, I mean those who like horror movies on weekdays, may not like this movie, because it doesn't have much dramatic effect, it doesn't have much artistic rendering, everything is just In order to tell people the true story that has happened.
Let's go back to the movie itself. Nine years later, the film continued the reports of the two people in childhood. Oliver the cannibal grew up in a single-parent family. He was withdrawn and introverted. He met a good friend at school who he thought had some homosexual tendencies, and was attracted to him. The almost "cruel" way to force him to stay at home and never leave his mother, so there are two reactions in his mind. One is that his good partner has since become a virtual world of his own inner world. Character, the second is that his mother died in an accident until he became an adult, and I believe it was not long before he began to eat people. Because of loneliness, and because he believed that no friends could be together forever, he began to eat people like this. The idea of words that can be together forever.
Simon, who lived with his father because of the suicide of his mother since childhood, happened to have a contrast with Oliver in terms of family composition in childhood, so he became a gay man and had a sexual partner in adulthood. Believing from the bottom of his heart that his mother didn't love him, he asked his boyfriend, has he ever done something that he regrets and can never make up for? In fact, he has been looking for such a way to make up for it. Before he met Oliver, he had imagined the whole process countless times in his mind, but no one could fulfill his wish, including the one he recruited. male prostitute.
To sum up, the sexual orientation of the two people should be the same sex. Oliver is thinking about his departed father, while Simon is raised by his father and has guilt for women (the original is his mother). I don't have the knowledge base to study psychology in this area, so what I can understand from the film is how Oliver wants to eat people. When it comes to making up for my mother's fault, I still can't penetrate.
At the end of the film, the two met fatefully online as they said. The two men's submissions in the email were so blatant and blunt about their wishes that Oliver asked him if he wanted to continue? Semen said, "There is no way back for me. Only forward. Through your teeth." In the
end, the two met at the train station and looked at each other in such ambiguous eyes. Oliver was still shy, while Semen said. The door is quite active, and from the perspective of their mutual position, it should be more logical. The film becomes extremely quiet at this point, only the dialogue between the two people becomes incisive and precise, Simon says "I'm your flesh" "I wanna this be perfect", "I will" Oliver starts the car.
Reports at the time said that Saimen had retreated. After tossing and turning, the whole process was finally completed 12 hours after the two met. And the whole process brought to us by the film is not an elegant and orderly feast. Of course, unlike Hannibal in the novel, Simon was indeed nervous, and Oliver was also born and studied medicine, so imagine As in Hannibal's series of films, "the well-crafted candlesticks, neat tablecloths, shiny metal tableware, delicate and accurate cuts" and so on did not appear at all, only the candles of different lengths, the mottled wooden table, A rusted tub and a markedly discordant bloodline. In contrast, Professor Hannibal seemed to focus too much on the process and was exaggerated, while these two people were obviously more focused on the results. When Oliver finally started to cut his own delicious meat, the yellowed camera began to reverse the encounter between the two people in childhood. Simon finally redeemed his soul, and Oliver really In his own body left other people's souls instead of childhood dolls.
The female graduate student destroyed the video after reading the tape. After all, they are not from the same inner world. Although the beginning and middle of the film show that she seems to have a dark world somewhere, but who doesn't? The problem is that in the end she still failed to face up to the truth that she had been curious about.
The film is named GRIMM LOVE. The former is Grimm's surname. It is not very clear what the title wants to express, but since LOVE is used, it can be regarded as a final definition for Oliver and Simon.
