The three people in the same vein correspond to the identity change of Hungary in the past 100 years: the fascist country before the red, the red satellite country of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries that have returned to the world. Whether as soldiers, athletes or silent ordinary people, they are excluded from the world for various reasons. The film can be seen as a personal tragedy in the perspective of Hungarian history, and it can also be seen as a language about this tragic world, full of Kafka-like powerlessness.
The shadow of the system is everywhere, and corresponding to it is the infinite humbleness of personal value. Thinking about it, even masturbation must be done according to the command of the superior. Isn't that a great sadness? Like the movie poster, the raging fire spurted from masturbation to the climax is the craziest and saddest scene. "Inverted" behavior often contains corresponding repression. The more liberty is deprived, the more elusive and surprising behaviors begin to be deliberately emphasized. Thanks to the disc dealer, I can see Makaviev's [Organism's Secret] and [Sweet Movies], and those pornography with ulterior motives are all the search for the liberation of human nature. Whether William Leahy or Marcuse, sex is the warm path to the true liberation of man without blood. The madness of Eastern Europe is not unrelated to the red era they experienced. Facing the powerful system that brings all individuals into the icy orbit, masturbation is the most economical kind of confrontation, and it is almost the only means of confrontation for a considerable period of time. That flame is almost indistinguishable from "The Little Match Girl", and the warmest and brightest time is also the beginning of destruction. I have heard of Chinese writer Yan Lianke's novel "As Hard as Water", which tells the story of a man and a woman who have a crazy affair with music about grandeur and justice. It is this kind of deconstruction that tears the grand to pieces. The other news that can be heard is the criticism of this kind of transgression, sex for the sake of sex, but the Eastern European brothers have already taken the lead.
I don't know if it was with the hostess or with a live pig, or if it was just a dream, the life of the wretched soldier ended silently. His descendant is the young man with the pig's tail. Director György Pálfi deliberately used disgust and cruelty to metaphorize the image of the times. The frenzied eating tournament held by a camp during the red period and the art of inhumanity in contemporary society have become extreme portrayals.
Raised because of his "skilled skills", the father of the "big stomach king" who became a plaything for dignitaries has been living in the old dream, but he has still become a worthless waste in the "new" society. The romantic love of youth is but a sad interlude. The truth is, no one pays attention to them, no matter how brilliant. Then there is his son, a young man who is deeply alone and unable to extricate himself. After all the reasons for survival—father, a strange woman, cats—were all destroyed, he made himself a human statue. The so-called eternity is just hopeless hope, and just another face of sorrow. The film may seem hot and cold, but the ending is unmistakably cold.
