While shouting to find a partner, he stayed at home, watching dramas and drinking milk tea.
While shouting to socialize to broaden the circle of friends, while lying on the bed, he was reluctant to get off the ground.
With the phone in his hand, the water in the fat house gushed out.
Don't look for it, it's just yourself watching tweets on your phone.
However, out of the need for companionship of human beings living in groups and the need for sex for the original purpose of mating, even though this is an era when the marriage rate continues to decline and the divorce rate continues to rise, love for various purposes is also colored. It still grows secretly in a corner of this world all the time.
This film "Flesh and Spirit" from Hungary, which won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival , uses a whole picture that looks "frigid" to tell a story that is not at all frigid, but is also full of sexual desire and love story.
The hero of the movie is a middle-aged uncle named Ender.
He is the owner of a slaughterhouse, disabled in his left hand, and has an adult daughter. In a state of divorce, he lives alone and is not good at communicating with others.
The young woman Maria is a quality inspector who first arrived at the slaughterhouse.
Her character is just like her appearance, cold and indifferent, without taste.
And with her outstanding memory and observation skills, despite her outstanding abilities, her strict standards and meticulous and even paranoid living conditions make people stay away.
It was these two people who didn't seem to be able to get together no matter what. Because of the accidental incident in which aphrodisiac powder was stolen from the slaughterhouse, everyone in the factory had to undergo a psychological test. Only then did the two discover that they had the same dream. .
At the beginning of the movie, the scene about the deer walking in the forest was shown, and it was only at this time that a reasonable explanation was obtained - it turned out to be a dream.
And the scene about this dream deer also appears repeatedly in the movie.
And every time it appears, it changes with the development of the relationship between Ender and Maria.
At first, at the beginning of the movie, two deer are walking around a small pond, where they are running together and rubbing each other's noses.
But then, when the camera turned, it turned into a bloody beef slaughterhouse.
As the boss, Ender was sitting in the office, reluctant to see the real situation in the slaughterhouse.
And his center of attention on the balcony was Maria standing in the corner downstairs.
Ender's first impression of Maria, probably like all men see women, is from sexual attraction.
From the feet to the calves, it spreads all over the body, and finally the face is clearly seen.
Such observation is undoubtedly the most common way for a man to examine a woman.
And Ender approached Maria in a way that most women would love to see—walking up to her during dinner, and starting a conversation with the boss taking care of the newcomers, couldn't be more appropriate.
But there is such a kind of person in the world, as soon as he opens his mouth, he talks to death.
Unfortunately, the attractive Maria is one of them.
Facing a conversation with him for a second, he either didn't speak, didn't know what to say, or the air suddenly became quiet as soon as he opened his mouth. It was better not to say anything.
It's not bad talk, it's extremely bad talk.
Ender asked Maria, do you know why I like soup?
Maria replied, because your hand is disabled, it is more convenient to eat soup with one hand.
Just thinking about it like this makes you feel embarrassed, and it just happened.
Although there may have been countless big waves in his heart, Ender still just smiled to himself and silently retreated.
On the other hand, Maria, the source of the embarrassment, seemed to do it on purpose. When she returned home, she practiced conversation with the villain again, trying to find a solution to their embarrassment.
However, after trying for a while, Maria, who was unsuccessful, gave up.
One of the small bottles used for practice was left alone on the table, like herself alone.
Although contemporary young people are shouting to get rid of the single, they also refuse to get married because they feel that the single life of a person is not terrible.
But when faced with loneliness, everyone honestly wants to find a shoulder.
There's no question that both Ender and Maria, despite how alien they seem, are also looking forward to company and needing love.
This is from the fact that they know that each other's dreams are actually the same, and the flashing expressions on the faces of the two people can be very easy to know.
Curiosity about the dream brought the two back together.
Ender invites Maria to live at home so they can talk about dreams when they wake up.
Although Ender said so, of course he didn't think so.
So when Ender thought that Maria had acquiesced to his idea and approached Maria, but Maria shrank back subconsciously, the distance between Ender and Maria widened again.
They obviously want to be close to each other, but what they do subconsciously is often things that make two people distance from each other.
Although these two people have tried very hard to make each other's hearts a little closer, a little closer.
But when an individual who is accustomed to living alone faces an outsider who suddenly arrives, he may subconsciously push this person out of his own small area out of habit.
And this is probably why many young people, after getting used to being single, are very eager to find a partner to live with, but when that TA is really close, they are overwhelmed.
In fact, for Ender and Maria, the fact that the two of them can have a common dream is already a manifestation of spiritual connection.
However, the good combination of love and flesh is not as simple as imagined.
Otherwise, the two of them would not have one experienced divorce and no longer believed in love, while the other never knew love.
But fortunately, for this common dream and for grasping the love at hand, despite the grudges in their hearts, they are still working hard to pursue love for each other.
In other words, the two of them are trying to get closer to each other in order to avoid returning to the lonely life of the past.
After Andrew asked Maria for the phone number, Maria, who didn't have a phone, turned around and bought a phone.
And because Maria, who was not used to being touched by others, bought a plush toy to touch herself and practiced, ignoring other people's eyes, in order to have normal contact with Ender.
However, when Maria thought she was ready to respond to Ender's request, Ender was frightened by Maria's sudden enthusiasm.
Just imagine, a girl who originally refused to even hold hands suddenly ran over and said, "Let's sleep together!
Although this "sleep" may not be "sleep", but no matter how you say it, it is a little too radical.
However, Ender didn't know how determined Maria was to do this.
Similarly, Maria didn't know if her behavior was wrong in Ender's opinion.
So, after being rejected by Ender, it seems that Maria, who is about to return to the lonely state of the past, chose to stay in the bathroom, listening to the music of love, cutting her wrist with broken glass, watching her life follow The bright red blood flowed away together.
Just as Maria was killing herself, the phone rang.
Maria rushed to answer the phone, and it was Ender who called.
When Ender called, Maria hadn't had time to bandage the wound.
The blood on the wrist was still rushing, and Maria let it bleed all over the place, and Ender expressed their hearts to each other.
It was also thanks to Ender's lightning-fast phone call that pulled Maria back from the brink of death.
The two of them reunited and shared the bed again.
But at this time, there were no more deer in the dreams of the two, and they didn't even dream anymore.
At this time, the two talents moved from "spirit" to "flesh" and truly became a combination of "flesh and spirit".
In fact, the title of the film is not so much "flesh and spirit" as it is "spirit and flesh".
In the film, the two people are strangers from the beginning and gradually approach each other, and they all use that common dream as their connection.
Although they experienced various obstacles in the process of getting close to each other, in the process of their continuous efforts, the two hearts have also changed from the initial illusory dream to the reality of the person beside them.
Although physical intercourse is worldly, it is something that each of us looks forward to and recognizes.
After all, living in groups is an evolved habit of human beings, and no one can truly exist apart from social groups.
And the sexual need, which is a step further from the pure soul love represented by the Platonic ideal love, is one of the original desires that is the same as appetite, which is generated by the needs of human species reproduction.
And like a classic line in "Good Will Hunting", "If I ask you about women, you can tell me very well, you may have slept a few times, but you can't say that you are next to a woman. When you wake up, that real joy in your heart. I ask you what love is, and you may be fooling around, but you've never tried to pour your heart out."
The allure of love can make everyone work for it, even the most unsocial and lonely person who seems to be the most gregarious.
The film, with a particularly cold story, tells a story about two lonely souls getting closer.
In fact, although the whole film seems ethereal and surreal in the story, it is not uncommon to reflect on reality at all.
The most obvious and direct is to show the beauty of the deer in their dreams, and at the same time use the most intuitive lens to show the bloody beef cattle in the slaughterhouse.
Very similar to this film, there is also the film "Raw", which won six French Caesar Awards (known as the French Oscars).
In that film, it is also a bloody scene with physical discomfort, and it is also a display of desire for people, especially the explosion of desire under extreme repression.
However, compared to the cannibalistic "Eat Raw", "Meat and Spirit" is obviously much gentler.
Although Ender and Maria are both people with rare desires and certain physical and psychological obstacles, in the way they pursue the release of desires, no matter whether the original dream is reasonable or not, at least it is still acceptable.
And even if Maria's final suicide was a little extreme, it was actually a manifestation of the release of suppressed desires.
In fact, in this breathlessly beautiful story, whether we see repressed desire, difficult love, or something strange, at least the story of Ender and Maria tells us that no matter what No matter how lonely the soul is, it is possible to gain the person who knows his heart.
Therefore, in a short life, if you meet the TA who truly depends on your soul, pursue it bravely and love it bravely.
Stop staying home, go out and find friends! ^-^
