Naturally, I initially paid attention to this film because of the suppressed libidinal impulse, and clicked on the top 20 of the "erotic movies" list. I believe that there are not a few audiences like me. The film does indeed live up to its mission, and the gravy is delicious.

Furthermore, I found that the [movie] that made the protagonist become attached is the main line that leads the development of the complex. The historical background contrasted with the colorful interior is the famous black and white image [68 student movement] in the history book, and the father of the siblings is [the poet]. , while the ideal of brother and sister is [communism] under the incest wrap.

It is said that the post-modern wave has brought about sexual liberation, vague distant Maoism, and flat-type industrial consumer entertainment; therefore, on the one hand, the brothers and sisters appreciate and love the industrialized works of movies, but on the other hand, they have The ideal of changing society, wanting to express, craving freedom, to be connected, to feel young, to feel alive.

[Film shooting is like voyeurism], Matthew once said.

Rather than peeping, it is better to say that the film can infinitely magnify an emotion with the scheduling of the director and screenwriter, focus on a phenomenon, and thicken a color. This direct "subject" perspective is a substitute for an image. , one falls into the direct expression of desire, thereby derealizing reality.

However, the war has not ceased. In this context, reason cannot speak. Likewise, poetry and ideals (Maoism) are powerless and pale. Even with books, culture, and student movements gathered in the streets, it is difficult to change the current situation. The alienation of the staged man.

Therefore, there is the father-son dispute at the dinner table [poem is petition, petition is poem.], and the argument between matthew and theo in the bathtub in the second half of the film, indeed, in theory [being forced to have freedom] is reasonable , but in reality we all know what the result is, American soldiers are forced or honorably sent to the battlefield, the people-eat-people repertoire has not changed.

So I thought that living in an ivory tower of sweet ideals is the reason why the siblings love movies, love "sports", love Maoism, and incest (Paris is so suitable for this kind of subject matter), they are idealistic The person is a child, so we can jump out of the monkey's physiological impulse and slowly appreciate this incestuous love.
