When the mind is powerless, the body desires strength more

The overall feeling is depressing, I watched it at double speed. Hmm...I don't have a way to put a lot of stuff in it together to determine one big theme. Probably most of them are cars and accidents and sex. sex

In the workplace, at the airport, in the old car in the accident, in the back seat of the car that is driving, on the grass, on the balcony, at home... men and women, women, men and women, themselves... in various forms, It feels exhausted. The male and female protagonists ask each other, have you orgasmed? But it's not what they asked after finishing the question, but the male protagonist and his colleagues at work, the female protagonist and the people who accidentally walked in at the airport. Both of them said no, and the male protagonist said maybe next time. At the end of the movie, the male protagonist drove his car into the female protagonist's car and crashed into a ditch. The male protagonist goes to the female protagonist. The female protagonist is not dead. The male protagonist asks her how are you? She said it was fine. The two started. Then the male protagonist said maybe next time. So many forms of sex did not bring the two to orgasm. It's worth thinking about why. I think orgasm is a metaphor for spiritual fulfillment and the energy that people have nowhere to vent. So much so that eventually another form of metamorphosis began to emerge - causing car accidents.

car accident

After the collision, the male protagonist said that there were too many cars, which seemed to be several times more. Another survivor of the crash felt the same way. Could it be a dissatisfaction with too many cars? I don't quite get it either. Probably trying to break the order. One interesting detail is that Vaughan, who feels particularly crazy, doesn't have any particularly direct sex, it's all fringe behavior. In the end, he drove into the car of the hero and heroine, and then the car lost control and died. Maybe his car accident was his climax.

In short, after reading it, I feel that if such people appear in our lives, we will call them scumbags and sick, and we hope that we will never meet one in our life. But art works are to amplify a phenomenon, an emotion, and a psychology in life, so that I can experience and discover. For the time being, I can't connect with some of our real experiences, I can only say that I can't understand it.
