desire or love

The discussion of desire and friendship and love The movie has no background music, only the sound of rushing water, the sound of the wind in the forest, the yarn, and the minimalist and realistic narrative style. Stronger and more forgiving

On the shore of a beautiful lake, when people have no clothes to cover their shame, the most primitive and real desires are inspired. Frank's love for Michelle at first sight and Henry's friendship are getting stronger, but when he sees Michelle's terrible and violent side, he is deeply afraid but At the same time, he was attracted by Michelle's mystery. Henry said that only sex can sleep together. Frank also fell into contemplation. What is love? Does he love Michelle because of sexual desire? Appearance or personality He is puzzled, but love is not just This kind of love is to attract infatuation for no reason

Twice in the play Frank fell into the conflict of fear and desire and finally lost to love. I think he still loves Michelle. This kind of love and infatuation even made him give up his fear of death. The first time was Michelle. When asking him to swim with him, he was initially afraid that he would become the second drowned ex-boyfriend who refused to go into the water, but when he saw the sparkling lake, Michelle's graceful swimming made him unable to stop. He slowly walked towards the lake. When Eryou approached him and kissed him, he finally felt relieved and couldn't hide his excitement. The second time was the calls at the end of the film. In the extreme panic after seeing Michelle kill two people in a row, he could have chosen to remain silent and wait for an opportunity. After all, Michelle didn't know him, didn't know where he lived, but he kept calling Michelle's name, his voice trembling in the dark, but with extreme longing and anticipation, this pleasure drove him crazy This kind of love has already surpassed life and death
