The search for the martyrdom of death

The film is shot from the perspective of a sadistic cult, an organization that believes that under the guidance of extreme sadism, victims will be reborn as "martyrs" and see the truth of death. This kind of thinking is somewhat similar to the experience of a jigsaw to gain new life. The pain and torment of a monk's nail head is the truth. It is an act of accepting suffering in an ascetic manner to prove its existence. Although the example cited is an abuser, the creators are all about pain and exposure to death.

Self-abuse people should think that people are numb to live, only living falsely, and only when they continue to maintain physical pain can people stay awake and deeply realize their own existence.

In fact, everyone generally has the tendency to self-destruct, that is, the death instinct. Only death is the real peace and can be liberated from tension and struggle. It is a kind of life nihilism with death as the other side.

After listening to Anna's words, the female coach in the play committed suicide. The last words were endless doubts after death. Perhaps Anna's narration was meaningless and mentally deranged. The old woman felt disappointed after listening to it. After all, she spent so much energy for her faith, and the most ideal martyr did not bring the truth of death. It's time to witness death in person.

The movie is still more ordinary, more like the director expressing his confusion about death through a crazy experiment, but the violence and bloodiness are still enough.
