The theme of the movie is not too deep, and it is probably about the need for good communication between husband and wife, otherwise even if the "sexual affairs" seem to be harmonious, it will eventually lead to all kinds of "disharmony".
The director's thinking is also very clear. Several couples represent several situations of entering into different levels. The order is from young to old. The first pair is a dumb young cartoonist who has not yet entered the palace of love and a video operator who is about to be deaf. The "sex" between them, the two people's understanding started from "sex", but it is heartwarming that even in such "embarrassing" circumstances, two "defective" young people still happened Romantic love friction.
The second pair is an unmarried couple who are about to enter the marriage hall. The husband loves his fiancée deeply and is willing to work hard to satisfy each other's "sexual" requirements for her desires. What makes people laugh and cry is that the results of the efforts are not satisfactory, and the pleasure Instead of reaching it, he put himself in the hospital, but the ending was good, at least the fiancée was moved in a mess at the end.
The third and fourth couples who have entered the marriage hall, the former couple has been unable to get pregnant despite constant sexual intercourse, but the wife suddenly found that she would be lustful when she saw her husband cry, so she kept on her husband Created all kinds of opportunities for her husband to "cry" to arouse their sexual desires. When the latter couple was receiving marriage counseling and medical treatment, other than the husband found that he liked the form of "role-playing". It was ridiculous. , At this time, the wife found out that she was pregnant, and the tragedy was that until the end, the husband did not know that he was a father.
The last couple was a couple who had been married for many years and had a child, but the husband found that he only had desires for his sleeping wife, but did not dare to explain it. The misunderstanding deepened, the situation worsened, and finally caused tragedy.
What the director wants to express is probably that sex is an unavoidable problem between all couples, and that sexual harmony directly affects the harmony of relationships and marriage. What is helpless is that in this matter that requires both parties to fully participate in order to achieve common harmony, they also require each to have a full understanding and tolerance of each other, both "selfish" and "concession".
In the movie, no couple does it, either the husband has been living in his own world (addicted to role-playing), or the wife is afraid to express the hardships (has a habit of tears), both of which have to pass in the end "Cheat" to achieve their goals.
However, poor communication is still the main problem. In the mild case, the simple husband thinks that his wife really wants to be "raped". In the serious case, the depressed husband can only continuously "rape" his wife to obtain pleasure, which is lost. work, lost lives. All the "sex" discord becomes a marriage ticking time bomb.
The intrusion of the old man and the biscuits in the movie is also quite meaningful. In the movie, the old man was treated friendly only three times. Once, when he gave the biscuits to his fiancée who was "rapist", he got a surprise response. The second time I gave it to my "sleep fetish" husband, he reminded him of the good times of his childhood and got gratitude, and later when he gave it to someone else even though he emphasized that it was a "nigger face cookie" ”, but received no previous response. The third time was picking up a deaf operator whose car broke down, and was then hit and killed by her husband who had been "raping" his wife. The rest of the visits coincided with couples arguing. And the old man always introduced himself as a "sex offender" (thanks for the reminder, I looked back at the original text, it was indeed "I am a convited of offender"), and it was also a very meaningful intention, that is, the one who killed him in the end The husband responded by saying, "Thank you for the biscuits." However, when he met his "sleep-loving" husband, the two bumped into each other, which somewhat foreshadowed the following plot.
After thinking about it, the old man should have several roles. His biscuits are not a racist symbol here, they should represent some kind of primitive joy, so the "rapist" wife and "sleeping lover" The husbands of "obsessed" were quite surprised when they saw the biscuits. The old man used a past person with a history of "sex crimes" to take the biscuits to warn the couples not to forget the initial joy and awaken the beauty in their hearts, but the other couples' The reactions were mediocre, and the husband who was keen on role-playing even dismissed the old man's "history of sexual crimes" and hurriedly dismissed him. As for why he was killed in the end, I personally don't think that the plot was arranged because the old man wanted to do something, because the old man had dared to face the fact of his crime in front of him, indicating that the old man had actually put down some things, but instead Others dare not face their "eccentricities", and the husband who is "sleepophile" is about to confess his feelings when he bumps into the old man, which is even more baffling here.
But the music in the movie is really good, every time there is sex, the background music completely makes people forget that this is a noir drama. Especially the song "sleeping at the last" by the young cartoonist and the operator, this may not be a good movie, but the soundtrack does add a lot of points.
