This movie is about love from beginning to end, but in fact it has nothing to do with love from beginning to end. For young men, this is a desire to conquer the arrogant and dreary features and mysterious unknowns of female teachers. For middle-aged female teachers, this is the perversion and distortion caused by long-term abstinence and restraint.
Women wishfully use a sadistic tone to force men to abuse themselves in order to obtain the satisfaction of self-masochistic tendencies. Men want to conquer and get this woman step by step according to their own rules, making it their own subordinate to satisfy their dignity as a man.
The only commonality is that in this unclear relationship, both of them want to be the dominant and controlling party, and the woman's need for abuse is also forced to be issued in the tone of command. The two people's desire for power continued to produce contradictions and conflicts, and they never really understood each other until the outbreak.
If this is love, it would be too cruel. If this isn't love, why does it hurt so much?
And, in this patriarchal social structure, women are the ones who are really vulnerable. In the film, after the male protagonist satisfies his desire for conquest (having sex), he leaves the sentence "love is no big deal" to clear the relationship, and returns to the world without her, sunshine, youth, and whatever he wants. The female teachers faced unbearable pain and even death.
