Natasha. In the film, Kinski did a very good performance of a girl with black panther blood, not only the playful tenderness of a human girl, but also the bloodthirsty cruelty of a female leopard. In fact, she has been living in a kind of detachment and loneliness, wanting a human life, but she has to deal with the dangers around her as cautiously as a leopard. She wanted to rely on her brother's affection, but had to face the reality that she wanted to escape even more. It would be incorrect to say that his brother wanted to seduce her. Because the film clearly points out that their race must rely on this method to continue. Even their parents have the same sibling relationship. The understanding of sex in the film is biased towards non-human beings, without warmth, but with power and possession. Leopard people will change from human to leopard when their sexual desire is high, and they must forage for flesh and blood before they can become human. It is true that Leopard Girl has found her true love, but she is "not my race", loves him, and deceives him, which makes Leopard Girl very painful. Moreover, she does not want to survive in a cruel way, so she prefers to choose to be a black panther forever.
When I watched this movie, I was very young, I didn't understand sex, I was just very scared. I only found the DVD of this film last year. After watching it again, I changed all the memories of the whole film. Animal nature and sexuality are one of the inevitable connotations of human psychology, and when positive emotions contradict them, there will be consequences that we can't even imagine ourselves.
