The story I understand is that Luke helped Alice kill Say in the name of revenge. In fact, Alice has nothing to do with Say, she wants to kill Say because she loves dead bodies and longs to witness Say's death. And Luke fell in love with Say while he was about to kill him, and he was able to do it thanks to his jealousy when he saw Say and Alice having sex. Alice and Luke fled and buried their bodies. The body was found by a hunter. The hunter captured Alice and Luke, locked the bodies of Alice and Say in the cellar, and tied Luke as a slave. The hunter refused to feed Alice and tried to force Luke to eat; when Luke returned to the cellar again, he found that Alice had eaten one of Say's legs. Shortly after Hunter forces Luke to have sex, Alice watches, and Luke gets an orgasm. Luke stole the key while the hunter fell asleep and escaped with Alice, knowing that the hunter was pretending to be asleep before leaving. Alice Luke, who fled into the forest, had sex for the first time successfully, but the police came shortly after, grabbed Luke, and brutally killed Alice who was about to escape. Luke saw the hunter being arrested across the police car, and he pleaded loudly for the hunter...
that's the story. At first glance, it seems very unreasonable, like most of Ou Rong's films, but if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out.
The girl is a necrophile, which can be seen from four details: first, when she starts sex with Luke, she asks Luke to pretend to be dead
; Her desire to kill Say speaks for itself. Say is the object of her infatuation, she spies on him and paints him); and
thirdly, she eats Say's legs in the cellar -- because she's hungry? I'm afraid not, Luke once gave her food secretly, and they were not imprisoned for a long time. For ordinary people, it is better to endure a day or two without eating than to eat a corpse. Alice's choice of the latter can only show that she herself has this desire. As far as I know, the highest state of corpse love is corpse eating;
The fourth part is the last part. The heroine runs away even though she knows the fate of the armed police will not be good. This is what Freud calls the death impulse. The camera recorded this process without evasion, the rhythm of the body being impacted, the blood splashed from the shot... These are not cruel and painful, but a magical pleasure . We can call it violent aesthetics when we discuss it off-screen, but in the story, we have reason to believe that the pleasure is also what Alice is feeling at the moment. She fulfills her ultimate desire for death and corpse with her own death.
The boy is M, and the plot of the hunter giving instructions for him to wear a chain and he is very happy with it is very telling, but in fact, there has been a hint about this before, that is, the combination of male and female protagonists. Obviously, the girl Alice occupies the dominant position in the relationship between the two. Even such an excessive thing as murder, as long as Alice speaks, Luke can't refuse. This is a kind of psychological SM.
But Alice Luke's relationship is far from harmonious, mainly due to two reasons.
One, Alice only loves corpses but not S, and even she herself has a bit of an M tendency, which can be seen from the opening sex. She wants Luke to dictate to her and insult her, but Luke can't. The direction of their sexual fantasies converged and therefore did not fit together.
Two, Luke is bisexual, but his body desires the same sex far more than the opposite sex. First of all, it can be seen from his infatuation with Say that he can't stand the picture of Alice and Say being together because of the tug of war between two desires within himself. Physically, he longed for Say, but spiritually, or psychologically, he was M who surrendered to Alice, who was the supreme master to him.
Here comes the role of the hunter. In an interview, Zhong Ou Rong said that his story was adapted from the "Candy House" in Grimm's fairy tale (sweat). As we all know, the candy house in fairy tales is built by witches to seduce children, which can satisfy children's best wishes---there is such a house in the world, the steps are mint candy, the roof is chocolate....
Hunter's Although the hut is not made of sugar, it can still satisfy Alice Luke's deep desire. It seems that this hunter should have some research on psychology. Just by reading Alice's diary, he has grasped the psychological activities that neither Alice nor Luke himself could perceive.
Alice loves corpses, so the hunter imprisoned her in the cellar on the grounds that she "likes thin girls", and accidentally placed Say's body next to her. Such a "two-person world" is more heaven than heaven for girls.
Luke has a tendency to be abused, so the hunter put the boy around and forced him to eat on the grounds that he "liked fat boys". If you feel how miserable it is to be forced to eat, it only means that you are not getting the point and you are too far away from M's world. The point is not to eat, but to be forced; it's a good thing for M to have someone give orders in every detail. What's more, what maybe even the hunter can't count is that Luke has a strong same-sex sexual orientation, so the hunter can not only replace the part of Alice who is bossy to Luke, but also can make up for the other part that Alice is not a man after all. how perfect.
However, this is not the end of the story. If it ends here, it will be reduced to a mediocre film. Next Alice and Luke continue their journey. They fled to the forest and succeeded in making love. Emphasizing the word success is because it has not been successful before, and the reason is probably caused by the two discordant factors summarized earlier. At this time, after going through thousands of mountains and rivers, the girl was able to get along with the corpse day and night and even fulfilled the crazy desire to eat the corpse, while the boy justly became the N-day shaking M and finally completed the sexual intercourse with the same sex, so this moment is desire and instinct The moment of being satisfied and standing aside is the moment of Plato, the moment of pure love.
In the process of tossing, the audience such as I can't help but ask, why do you two do it? But this abrupt lovemaking gave us the answer--because people are in love with each other, with their hearts and spirits, the reason why it didn't go well is because there are still several physical problems that need to be solved urgently.
The hunter opened his eyes when Alice Luke fled, indicating that he intended to let people go. He was not a messenger of justice who couldn't see the murderer on the loose, he was just a psychiatrist with bad taste. He accidentally read Alice's diary and felt that she and her little boyfriend needed to use some means to reconcile, so he did this confinement experiment. It turns out that his experiment was successful.
The last scene is Luke begging for the hunter. It was so intense that it can be understood that Luke fell in love with the hunter, but I hope to understand that Luke is grateful to the hunter, because finally, the hunter has achieved Alice Luke. For the rare couples in the sky and the earth, so that they can complete the union of spirit and flesh.
