Since I saw it on Friday night, the doll's eyes full of innocent eyes have been shaking and shaking in front of my eyes, shaking to the point of trance. Made me feel suffocated. A friend who watched it with me told me the next day that she had a nightmare because of it at night.
But, I have to say, this is a really good movie.
This is a deeply fabled psychological film. The spiritual world of a schizophrenic. In the film, her name is Doll. In order to save her sister from her stepfather's clutches, the doll accidentally shot and killed her sister. So she went mad and was sent to a mental hospital, ready to undergo a leukotomy, after which she would become a mindless idiot. So in her consciousness, only escape and freedom.
In her spiritual world, so wonderful. She imagined that the mental hospital had become a very glamorous nightclub, the captain of the guard who tried to molest her became the nightclub manager, the doctor who wanted to rescue her became a dance teacher, and the strong, positive, self-saving herself became a girl Amber, the sister I miss has become the sister of the girl Sweet Doudou, the cowardly, helpless, and betrayed self has become a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, and the self who represents her memory, spirit and experience has become the girl Sweet Doudou, the longing Father love incarnates as an old man, and has been guiding her self-redemption.
The mental hospital is part of the film's cryptic allegory, and it's just the doll's first imagining. There is a more exciting second imaginary world. That is, in a nightclub. Several girls made concerted efforts to prepare maps, knives, fire, and keys. At the critical moment of these escape items, when the dolls began to perform their amazing dance, they completely entered a world of unrestrained imagination and super imagination. Duel with samurai mechanical giants; battle German Nazis on the battlefields of World War I; battle dragons in medieval castles; star wars in outer space. The audio and video effects of this part are superb, moving music, cool pictures, intense battle plots, the sexy shape of the beautiful girl of the secret service, the action of the online game fighting... There is a kind of large-scale generosity, strong visual impact. Many people are watching the excitement here, and their blood is boiling. There are also many people who feel that it is nonsensical, noisy, and left in the middle.
The representatives of the divided self, the girls, were sacrificed one by one, and only Beanie and Doll remained. Four treasures have also been found, only the last mysterious thing, the old man hinted to the doll at that time: yourself. It hasn't landed yet. The two of them began their original plan to escape. At the last door, many guards guarded it, and it was difficult to get out. The doll suddenly realized that the fifth treasure the old man was referring to was: sacrificing yourself, sacrificing your physical self. So, she threw herself into the trap and covered Sweet Doudou to escape from the mental hospital.
Sweet Doudou represents herself in spirit, and escape means freedom of spirit. In the flesh, sitting on the operating chair, there was no fear in his eyes, only peace, happiness, and safety... The doctor who operated on her was shocked.
At the end of the movie, Sweet Bean walks in a normal, free world in a trance, and gets on a car bound for his hometown. Of course, this is just an imagination of the doll's divided spiritual world. The real herself has become a mindless idiot.
It's truly a rare, bizarrely conceived film with a unique perspective that's haunting and contemplative. Suddenly I remembered a program I saw on Youmi a long time ago about the paintings of mental patients. Those mentally ill paintings are very shocking and have a superhuman artistic talent. Those who are crazy and schizophrenic have different abilities from our secular culture, the ability to dialogue and communicate with nature and life, while in our secular world, we must obey coercion, law, morality, education... the history of art Famous painters Yayoi Kusama and Van Gogh were also schizophrenics. There was a quote from Deleuze in that show that touched me a lot: schizophrenics are heroes of our desires. I will also give this sentence to this movie that I love.
