The title of the film "naissance des pieuvres" literally translates to "the birth of the octopus". The word "pieuvre" means octopus, which means insatiable in French. A symbol of infinitely extending instinctual desire. The image of an octopus, a wriggling tentacled creature, is a perfect fit for a story that begins and ends with water and revolves around the ignorant and wanton sex of youth. The Chinese translation of "Daffodil Blossoms" seems to be a lot more secretive in the expression of sexuality. Under the surface of Gu Ying's self-pity is the unswerving steadfastness of pure love, and the tender but fiery fire of desire.
Fascinated - Marie and Floriane's entanglement began in that water ballet performance. Floriane's constantly protruding and changing limbs like octopus restless tentacles absorbed Marie's budding soul. At this time, the fresh limbs in the water seemed to become With the most explicit sex organs, Marie's rehearsal of her limbs in the water can also be seen as an extension of her sexual fantasy.
After the seemingly equal and mutually beneficial contract was reached, Marie was able to observe Floriane's body up close for the first time. Floriane seemed to become the focus of everything and space. Marie's eyes were filled with unconcealed admiration and unease, and she was more inclined to This extremely exposed and restrained emotional expression continues in the film, a kind of spiritual ambiguity that does not need to take any responsibility, because it is stored in the perspective of onlookers rather than forced to intervene.
Sinking - Floriane is the object of Marie's desire and the target of male desire, and she is also the subject of intense desire. She invites Marie to intervene in her life, ostensibly using Marie's female identity as an excuse for a tryst with men, but in fact she Under the envious and jealous eyes of others, she really lacks a spiritual partner who truly cares about her, and Marie, who is pure and radiant towards her, has undoubtedly become the suitable and even the only candidate.
What do you think of Floriane's tendency to choose to be actively frustrated in her emotions? I have to say that Floriane is relatively light on the surface, but she still has a strong sense of "chaste" in a relationship, maybe she just hasn't found a man worthy of her "dedication". Her body is a natural capital that is good at seduction, but she is emotionally rational. She is not a real "bitch", she just knows how to use her body to get the attention of others at almost zero cost.
As the relationship between Floriane and Marie heats up, we are pleasantly surprised to find that their bond has further possibilities than just Marie's wishful thinking, lips that are about to touch and retract on the dance floor, and pulled after repeated probing on the bed. The hand on the top, the ambiguous and trusting eyes when looking at each other after escaping from a strange man, and an emotional climax when Floriane asks Marie to take away her virginity in a ritualistic way. Surging ignorant desire. When we stared at the tearful face after the ceremony, was Floriane just as eager for a kiss from Marie as the audience, or maybe she had waited too long, tried too many times, and had a first taste of love The fruit Marie has always shyly hid in the corner of her love that should belong to her. After the meaningful kiss between Marie and Floriane at the party, Floriane said that it wasn't that hard to see. The accusation of Marie's cowardice in the face of emotion and the unspoken love for her were obvious. At this moment, Floriane really took it away. Marie's virginity is truly achieved through a two-way process of deprivation.
Mirror images - Marie and Floriane may be mirror images of each other. From the very beginning of distinct and dissimilar individuals, to the gradual fusion of pains, the ceremony of breaking up is also a grand masturbation, and the last affectionate kiss can also be seen Make deep self-conciliation. After the narcissism like daffodil blooms, Marie will be more familiar, Floriane will be more true to me, and youth can bear the price of ambiguous.
