The mystery of this film is that it mixes memories, fantasy, and reality to tell you, which will make your head burn
.
The story I understand is like this - the male protagonist was a movie actor in the early stage, and he was very insecure. Isn't he watching the sex show at the beginning of the film (some people say it's a strip club, but it's not, striptease Clubs don't have to be so secretive at all - specific people have to be invited, keys are issued, striptease is legal in the US, both men and women can go, so there's no need to be so secretive. You heard the moans at the beginning, and Men and women in pajamas appear together, and the pajamas are naked as soon as they are taken off. The striptease focuses on "taking off", this is not, it is actually a sex/intercourse performance).
At this stage of being an actor, the male protagonist cheated. Of course, this infidelity was actually a deception. The mistress didn't know that he was married (there were several scenes where the male protagonist and mistress had sex with each other were only symbolic, in fact, that It was a sex session, I'll talk about this later), and then the mistress discovered the fact that the male protagonist was married, and the two had a big quarrel over it, which resulted in a car accident. The mistress probably died (it didn't perform, but it could make people mentally ill Trauma, it can only be death) and the male protagonist is alive, the scar on his chest is proof of a car accident, a big one.
The mistress died (the male protagonist's wife didn't know that mistress died, of course, the husband was seriously injured in a car accident, and the main room still cares about the life of mistress), so the affair ended without a problem, but the male protagonist began to be mentally abnormal (male protagonist) His mother should suspect that his son is mentally ill. The recording at the beginning of the film is that his mother left a message saying, I visited your house, how can you live like this).
After the male protagonist was discharged from the hospital, he did not work for a long time (not an actor, anyway, no film appointment). During this period, his wife was pregnant, and his mental state also reached another extreme of repression and self-rejection (there should be guilt for the death of the mistress), so he fabricated a self and kept it from his wife (actually, it was not intentional) He didn't hide it, he was not himself anymore) applied to the university and became a history teacher, the house where the history teacher lived (the house his mother visited, his mother didn't understand how he could live with his wife and be alone In life, he still has a long love for his mother, at least he didn't change a mother), this house should be the love nest where he cheated with the mistress. Naturally, this place is full of memories of Xiaosan, so there is a scene where the university teacher and Xiaosan become boyfriend and girlfriend. In fact, Xiaosan is just a reflection of the male protagonist's memories and fantasies. He fantasized that they kept making love in this room, but sadly, there was actually only one sex from the beginning to the end (why is it one? Because these few bed-rolling sports have one thing in common, they are never finished, and always end with a scream from the mistress), this sex has been to death.
Becoming a completely independent history teacher allows the male protagonist to get rid of his past infidelity to his wife and guilt for the death of the mistress, but the memory cannot be erased. Even if you ignore it, it is there, and it will suffocate you inadvertently. So the history teacher discovered his true self. He was terrified, but tempted, irresistibly (you can't resist your own past) to check yourself.
Cha himself is the home of this film. When he was looking for it, he couldn't care about anything. He called himself, using the method without displaying the number. This did not happen at the same time, but in order to confuse the audience, the director deliberately I didn't tell you, I just showed you that there was indeed a call coming in, so his wife suspected that he was in a relationship with Xiaosan (as mentioned earlier, his wife didn't know that Xiaosan's game was over), here he did not admit that he cheated He said that his wife was unreasonably jealous, which also implied that he forgot about his derailment. Later, the more trouble, the more outrageous, his wife also found out about his job in the university, and when he went to find him, he was really mentally abnormal, but his wife didn't think so, and her wife thought he was acting (two people talking to each other) , his wife just said, I think you understand everything, but you didn't say the next lines, maybe, you're lying to me)
The main game is messed up. The male protagonist and the university teacher fantasize about each other. In fact, the main part is half fantasy and half memory, and the two parts go hand in hand-Little San is a memory and a fantasy, making love is a memory and a fantasy, a car accident is a memory and a fantasy, to In the end, the love is finally over (it's really not easy), revealing the ending of the male protagonist and the mistress, the cause of the car accident (memory), and the male protagonist and mistress dying together (fantasy).
——All the character settings in it serve the male protagonist's fantasy, that is to say, the male protagonist modified his memories, so he put the modified memories into reality and turned them into fantasy. For example, in the last bed roll, Xiaosan screamed and jumped out of bed and said that the male protagonist was not a college teacher because he had a ring print, but the fact may be that Xiaosan knew the fact that the male protagonist was married and deceived his feelings, so the two collapsed .
The male protagonist has fantasized about himself to death, and everything is freed, leaving an upright university teacher to accompany his wife, and he will live a happy and complete life from now on, but the spider and the key at the end indicate that his desire is still there, and his nature is hard to change.
PS - talk about spiders.
In the sex show at the beginning of the film, there is a spider (some people say that the spider was trampled to death by the actress, I didn't notice it, what should I do, I have to say the part I noticed), some people say that the spider represents desire (behind Spiders appear twice more), ugly desires, maybe this is not wrong, but I understand it personally, sex/intercourse and spiders, they should be more like the male protagonist is eventually swallowed and destroyed by desire.
Everyone knows spiders, and the interesting part is that after mating, if the male cannot escape immediately, it will be eaten by the female, so it is actually a deadly lust.
——Let's talk
about the little plot of the blueberry male protagonist's mother about blueberries, blueberries represent the part of the male protagonist who cheated in the past and was deliberately forgotten by him. Obviously, he should like to eat blueberries, and he also expressed this to his wife. But it was the history teacher who went to see his mother. The history teacher didn't like it, because he wanted to throw away everything from the past, but the past could not be erased or thrown away. This is also a reminder to the audience. Of course, it is more misleading.
