I believe everyone will be as strange as when I first started watching.
How could such a little beauty be bullied by her classmates?
The jealousy from Bichi's "girlfriends" is understandable. What is the situation from the male classmates?
The film emphasized that for the nude scene, the children are all 18-year-olds who are hormonally restless?
Do you guys look too bad?
This doubt continued until I learned about my father's profession - a cosmetic surgeon.
The root of all evil in this film, the symbol of evil, is the father.
If the father's strict requirements for his daughter don't remind you of anything, then the shot of him holding a caliper and gesturing on his daughter's face, indicating that he can cut a few inches here and a few points there, is almost express.
The heroine has undergone plastic surgery.
Remember when the daughter met her father's lover at the cosmetic clinic?
My father said, I have an appointment with my daughter.
Many viewers are misled into thinking that the so-called appointment refers to a later movie viewing. In fact, they made an appointment to make a plan for cosmetic surgery, but in an emergency, they had to watch a movie instead. Therefore, after the father and daughter returned to the plastic surgery clinic again, there was a scene of "this is my birthday present for you" and "say yes".
This is obviously not the first time.
The heroine may have been an ordinary-looking girl, but her beauty today is the result of multiple cosmetic procedures.
The twin sister is deformed, so she probably has some small problems.
So a father who pursues perfection may use this as an excuse to correct his daughter's "defects" many times.
In the eyes of the heroine's classmates, she is a freak who constantly undergoes plastic surgery.
After solving this, watch the whole film again, the theme is obvious.
This is actually an extreme story of "wanting a girl to become a phoenix".
As the heroine asked her father: "Will you love me if I am not beautiful?"
Dad is actually a very interesting person.
In the second half of the movie, the ring of Cain in Dante's "The Divine Comedy" is mentioned, which is the ring of the "betrayer of relatives". And Cain is the murderer of the first murder in the Bible - he killed his own brother.
This passage alludes to three things.
The first is the act of a father who abandoned/murdered a deformed daughter and used the other daughter as his own work of art.
He had an affair with a patient, betrayed his marriage, and betrayed his mother.
He is not a good person under social morality, but he demands his daughter with both physical and mental perfection.
He was very angry when he saw his daughter's reckless eating. Facing her nakedness, he said angrily, "Do you think this can shock me? Don't I just watch this all day?".
This is not the director's mere selling of meat.
Naked women in the surgery room were normal for my father, who was a doctor. Doctors don't have feelings for the body they want to cut, they only look for where the knife needs to be cut - this is how fathers usually look at their daughters.
The Cain Ring mentioned above is located in the ninth layer of hell - the Ice Lake of Cochtus. In the words of the teacher in the film: "People here lack love and human warmth." When this sentence was said, the camera just turned to the heroine.
Number two: People who lack love do crazy things.
After killing her boyfriend who may no longer love her, the heroine seeks her father's love with one in ten thousand expectations.
That's right, out of compensatory psychology, what Ailan yearns most is his father's love. Of course, I'm sure she knew it was unlikely, and the aforementioned Cain hinted that she would kill her father - a third innuendo.
After destroying her father who forced her to be beautiful, she saw ugliness in the reflection of the glass.
Maria no longer answered Ai Lan, the heroine's kind and cowardly side disappeared, or the two finally merged into one, the imperfect Maria disappeared, and the powerful Ai Lan was no longer perfect.
I see people discussing whether Alan is a schizophrenic or a ghost, and whether Alan or Maria disappeared.
The film does not intend to give a clear answer, because it is unnecessary and unimportant.
The important thing is that Maria/Alan stumbled home and once again curled up in the arms of her mother, the only one who loved her unconditionally.
