In fact, monster doesn't mean the devil, it doesn't even necessarily mean the bad guy, it's an obvious pun, and the Chinese translation limits its meaning. The monster is a distorted and falsely prosperous machine of capitalist society under the money-first and misogynistic value system, like that amusement park. Of course, it also refers to the heroine who is alienated by everyone and can only choose to self-destruct. The most interesting part of the world is that good things are a little bit bad, and bad things are a little bit good. Just like the life of the heroine Lin, she used to be a child who believed in struggle, faith and love, and wanted to be a star. This kind of naivety and simplicity eventually became the fuse that accelerated her destruction. As the heroine said, life was completely different from what she imagined. The first whore client who beat the heroine and was killed, both "loved" women and hated women. It's a classic misogyny. What I love is their charming bodies and their tender and tender dispositions that bear humiliation and bear humiliation. What they hate are rational women who choose resources and wealth under the dominance of commodity economy, those beautiful women who do not belong to them. Those who are losers are themselves humiliated by society and turn to the weakest, prostitutes, without knowledge, diplomas, wealth, and at the lowest end of the chain of contempt and moral stare. People draw the line by absolutely uglifying and characterizing them. There is also a client who wants the heroine to call her father, which is also very common. Because Dad represents the most powerful deity in a patriarchal culture, and the incest talk is even more intriguing to the pervert. The heroine is not always the victim and innocent in this game, which is unequal and pretty ugly. On the contrary, the heroine in the film paid the price of her life to fight back. This is not only a kind of seeing and awakening, but also a deeper sinking, because she is also a monster in the end, and she also kills good people. The biggest problem with the heroine and her little girlfriend is the lack of self-reliance. The little girlfriend is a parasite who has never been in contact with the society. She only knows how to spend money but not how to make money. She doesn't let herself be exposed to blood, and she always protects herself. But their love is real, because the choice of the little girlfriend comes more from her irrefutable social status. She has lived and will live a dependent life in the future. And the heroine, the heroine chooses to take the initiative to be used, because this little girlfriend is her last romanticism. She wanted to protect her former self, and she also wanted to make it clear that she had seen clearly the nature of the men who beat her, raped her, slandered her, humiliated her and crushed her in her environment, and they were no longer absolutely straight women in thought. Lin used to be such a little girl, what was it like? I think she is one of the best "prey". She doesn't know how old she is Dirty thoughts in people's heads, and dreams that make adults laugh. She used to be a small, supple personality, with blond hair, the kind of guy who gets raped and killed in a lot of crime movies. But Lin did not die, but became a tall and somewhat bloated prostitute with a loose stomach and possibly several venereal diseases, sparse eyebrows, splotchy skin, drug addiction, and vulgar behavior. Her father beat her up after learning she had been raped by an acquaintance, and all her friends and relatives cut ties with her after learning that she had nowhere to go as a prostitute. Lin spent the first half of her life being discarded, harmed, and defiled, because she used to be the one with the simplest thinking among all people, and in a complex world, she had the same heart as Bambi and My Little Pony. But isn't this character also because she was brought up in the lie that everything is beautiful? Well, then she became a prostitute and knew the real world. There are people who kill like hemp, but they are religious leaders, soldiers, politicians, and they kill not only legally but also with honor. Lin is different. Prostitutes are a high-risk occupation. Not only do they have poor sanitary conditions, but they go to work every day to serve others, and they are very likely to be killed. Therefore, Lin's counter-kill is not an absolute depravity, but a cry of despair, a kind of conscious awareness. Especially when she needed to take care of her little girlfriend, the girl told her to go back to being a prostitute. Lin can't go back to her old career because she's enlightened and she's in love with this girl. Generally speaking, it is difficult for a prostitute to go back to her old business when she has a real relationship, because she is no longer numb. But that little girlfriend became the existence she had to protect no matter what, so she could only support her girlfriend by killing her. In the process, money can bring happiness and measure the depth of feelings. Lin can disobey those men, but she must also submit to money. In the end, she killed a good guy to get away, and that good guy was also a police officer. This plot is once again the point, through this last hunt of good and evil, she became a real monster. She and what she was against and what she was trying to break free of were no longer separate from each other. Lin snuffed out her kindness, but in fact, she surrendered to the rules she hated. For the so-called romance and feelings to finally come here, the ending of the story is actually set long ago. Lin couldn't escape her guilt, she didn't really want to live anymore. So he sent his girlfriend away, turned a blind eye to the old man's hints and help, went to the bar to get drunk, and finally got his wish and was betrayed. This is the monster, the so-called monster, they are deeply integrated with the dark side of their environment, they seem to be those high-rise buildings, those production machines, those The anthropomorphism of some gray buildings and dark alleys. They have lost what we recognize as humanity and stand in opposition to universal values. But is it really so? Even if she noticed that she was betrayed by her girlfriend, Lin still chose to say "I love you" or to die alone. She went to destruction precisely because she still had humanity, and was not a complete monster. She had to defend her "love" with that little girl under the coercion of life, so she became disillusioned even faster. It is best to put aside judgement and moral judgment and follow the characters when watching this film, so that you can really gain something.
