Currently writing a paper on Russ
Had a new idea while closing my eyes on the bus and suddenly felt like a female addict reading Lars for the first time
Write it down quickly, maybe there is no logic, but at least it is a direction
First of all, let’s make it clear that there is an obvious difference between the upper and lower parts, that is, the lower part of the film discusses more niche or even taboo subjects, such as SM, pedophilia, etc.…
Why is this so? Of course there are many other explanations, but when I think about what Joe did in the debt collection, I suddenly had a new idea.
Remember how Joe dealt with one of the stubborn guys?
She slowly approached his limit from ordinary, to sm, fetish, same-sex, and finally discovered his pedophile
So is it possible that she is also making up the story and slowly looking for Seligman's weaknesses throughout the movie? So the lower part is darker than the upper part
As for why she did it, I think I can explain it in her own words
She finally relented to the stubborn pedophile because she thought he was an amazing person who managed to control her desires
And Seligman did not restrain his desire in the end, so he had the fate of being shot.
So if that's the case, what's the point of the movie talking so much? I do not know either
Maybe it's Russ' joke about Eve who seduced Adam.
