The beginning is very amazing, death and creation, sex and creation are all linked, but Gao Ming did not deliberately express sexuality, but only sexuality in language, making people live between the restraint of reality and the explicit expression in words, Confused and chaotic state. Everything in reality contradicts everything in literature, and for a particular person, writing is a kind of therapy, as essential as taking medicine when sick. For others, using it as a guide to reality can be irreparable evil.
The ending of the film ideally places every madman in a proper place, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, can be appeased, and the writer only deserves to survive in a cell. Only writing, a treatment method, can not curb its spread, and it is extremely harmful. Not everyone has the ability to control themselves, and in an environment of general slack consciousness, sleep is the order.
Sister Simon's elopement with her young lover, the only optimism is that the future is also a tragedy after bliss, it is just the exile of youth, "idealism is the last luxury of young people". It can be seen that the call for creative morality is necessary, after all, the relationship between writing and reality is so great! (What is scary is not the people in the literature, but the people on the edge of literature who don’t understand it but want to get close, and it’s a tragedy in the end.)
From the fall of the girl's head to the leisurely creation of Sade, from the oral works of Sade's madness to the tragic death of Mattet, and from the beauty after Mattet's death to the imagination and madness of the priest, this is the loop of death and beauty , doing a terrible deal with human nature. The death of the young girl (beauty) brought the inspiration of creation, and the priest refused to be redeemed by being an outcast of God in front of the priest. Does the cross swallowed by Sade mean a complete rebellion against the Holy God, or the ultimate pursuit of self-god?
This is Sade's fantasy self. He always knows who he is and what he wants to do. (If he doesn't know what he wants to do, how can he be furious at his wife's incomprehension? What he wants is pen and ink, and Not food and sex.) But people around the devil, people who see Satan, what should they do? And why should I be responsible?
Are we the ones who are with the devil? Do not obey any will, to the extreme will become a bondage. The radical rebellion of the avant-garde did not declare the end of art, but a questioning of the old concept of art. The spirit of questioning itself is a value. To remain rebellious is to remain in bondage in disguise, and no one will ever be victorious here, and art will never end. Those artists, struggle to produce good works, if you don't struggle, the reality is terrifying.
Ps. In fact, after thinking about it, this ending is not handled gently. It returns to reality and conveys a theme that this movie is suitable for ordinary people (non-artistic people) to watch. Putting aside literature, creation, and art, as a person, in the right position, we do what we should do every day. There are many people who jump up and say that this is compromise, that it is not sober, that it is being restrained. If you really think so, then I can agree, but if you think that your situation is not bad, it is not all the blessing of external forces. Just like the little maid who didn't understand what Mattette and the group were doing, she was confused throughout the film, but at the end she smiled inwardly. Facing the violent rebellion, she absorbed what she was willing to absorb. It must not be a sad thing to change and maintain my original life, I think.
