The entire film revolves around the desires of men and women. The male protagonist's desire ranges from disguise to liberation to suppression. The desire of the heroine goes from resistance to awakening to liberation. In fact, this is a resistance to the so-called traditional feudal imprisonment at that time, and it is the awakening and liberation of sexual consciousness.
At first, the male protagonist hid his true desires in order to please the female protagonist. Because the subconscious desire of the heroine at that time was a kind of maternal love. When the male protagonist takes off the child's clothes, his own desire is exposed, and the hand full of ants is the externalization of his desire. His desire is sex.
The woman on the street who openly played with her hands attracted crowds of onlookers. In order to maintain social order, the police put her hand in a box. The desire of the human self was suppressed by the social order of the time, the so-called traditional feudalism.
Seeing that the heroine and the box were run over by the car, the hero no longer suppressed his desires and began to vent his desires to the heroine. The heroine resisted, and they fought. The male protagonist tried to use external forces to make the female protagonist compromise, but the rope he was pulling was traditional religion and rotten traditional culture, of course he could not succeed. In the end, the female protagonist clamped the male protagonist's hand with the door and stopped her desire. The male protagonist put on baby clothes again and lay on the bed. At this time, the male protagonist's id appeared to condemn him for this behavior, threw the baby clothes out of the window, and stuffed two books in his hands. But the book seemed to give him strength, turned into a gun, killed his id, and killed his subconscious desires. The male protagonist's desire is suppressed.
The female protagonist's subconscious desire at the beginning was a kind of maternal love and had nothing to do with sex, which showed that her sexual consciousness had not yet awakened, so when the male protagonist looked at her hand, she also came to see it because she was curious.
When the male protagonist's sexual consciousness is liberated, she resists, so she tries her best to stop the male protagonist's desire.
When she saw the butterfly with a black skull on its back, her subconscious desire was awakened, so she put on lipstick and showed her underarms to the male protagonist to attract the protagonist. But the male protagonist's self has been killed by himself, and his desire is gone. So she tried to find other men to release her awakened desire.
In the end, the hero and heroine died on the beach, but is it all over? No, this is just the beginning. Because spring is here.
