The empty white is the main color of the film.
In the early hours of the morning, with sleepy eyes, staring at the screen and watching the slow-paced film, I have a premonition that this is an unforgettable tragedy.
Sleepy and woke up in the afternoon, Erika's proud eyes lingered in her mind behind the almost crazy tyranny and desire and madness for sex; the handsome face of the male student Hua De, the young man was full of animalistic enthusiasm and betrayal.
It's been three days in a row, and I've watched it many times. The film is so bloody, so pathetic about a middle-aged woman and so charming and cruel about a handsome young talented man.
I can't forget, I can't forget the time frozen in the film, the rich and eye-catching white. I can't forget the passion of Ward's violent show of love.
The film shows Erica's contradictions. There is a conflict of jealousy and admiration between her and the gifted female student, her mother's unreasonable demands for her feelings, and the almost perverted entanglement between her and the handsome young Huade.
The heroine Erica is a middle-aged female teacher. It seems that she has never been in love. She has always been surrounded by her mother. Even at such an old age, she shares the bed with her mother. Her mother's love for her is not normal. Rika's backpack when she traveled, and asked her whereabouts by phone. She was not allowed to wear bright clothes, and she sensitively excluded her from contact with all men.
Her mother's possession of her is the culprit of Erica's character. She was forcibly enclosed in a pure world by her mother. In this world, there are only family and music. She travels back and forth between the conservatory and home.
However, Erica was born as a normal woman after all, and under this abnormal control, she could only deal with it beyond the ability of ordinary people. She has the desire for love and sex that a woman has, but she can only support herself..
At the beginning of the film, it describes how Erica went to the video store to watch pornographic videos with ease, was locked in a small room, picked up a man's dirty paper from the trash, and put it in front of her nose to sniff it; Going to the drive-in theater to peek at other couples having sex; the most shocking thing is that she scratched her most tender part with a blade in the bathroom of the bathroom, and let the blood drip down the snow-white porcelain, she put it away so calmly Blade, pick up the sprinkler to hide the blood, then close the door, turn off the lights, and go to dinner.
She did all this skillfully and calmly, without even the slightest restraint or panic. These footage are real and shocking.
Erica used self-mutilation to make up for her lack, and in the long run, she became the woman she is today. Extremely cold and arrogant in appearance, this woman is a respected piano professor who lives in the clean melody of the piano. However, no one knew that her dignity and aloofness were caused by her extreme restraint of emotions and concealment of herself; her entire musical world could not purify her normal desire for affection as a woman, but made her even more crazy than ordinary people, so that abnormal.
That's how Ward came into her life. Ward is a handsome, young, inspired, bright and wild man. From the moment he saw Erica, his admiration, dabbling, lust and all kinds of emotions made him approach step by step, constantly invading Erica's life. He was admitted to the Conservatory of Music for this and became her student.
If Erica's decades of life have made her a perverted aggregate, then she can at least maintain a balance between restraint and crazy venting, but the appearance of Ward broke this balance.
Erica seemed to be on the edge of a cliff, trying hard to find a new support, but it was just a phantom. She lost her balance on the edge of the cliff, and she was even more confused, but she couldn't save herself until she fell into a love that will never end.
Erica hides her fascination with Ward on the surface, but secretly follows him to the hockey rink to watch him practice; on the one hand, she is cold and frosty, keeping Ward's powerful pursuit within her controllable range. On the one hand, because of her strong jealousy, she secretly went into the locker room and put the glass in the pocket of the female student's coat, ruining her hand and ruining the piano career of the talented student.
She said to Hua De, "I am a woman without feelings, and it is impossible to overcome reason." However, her heart has melted, and her eyes have been locked in Hua De's handsome figure.
With a youthful impulse, when he keenly sensed her jealousy from Erika's tone, he rushed upstairs, jumped to the door of the bathroom, unlocked the lock from the inside, and hugged Ellie. Ka kissed, opened the cold barrier between them, and opened up a twisted emotional entanglement.
She said that if she wants to get the same love as Hua De, she must be above Hua De. She let Ward masturbate in the women's toilet, but let him look her in the eyes, preventing him from venting his lust happily.
She regarded Ward's love for herself as a life-saving straw, and wanted to rely on the past completely, and wrote to him the most secret and secret feelings she had accumulated for so many years, telling him all her desires for sex, and returning it to him Look at the masochistic ropes and utensils you hide under your bed. Erica thought that Ward was the man she was destined for, and thought that he would also accept herself as a matter of course. She thinks that love is to ask for unconditionally, and love is that the other party can accept it unconditionally.
Unexpectedly, Ward was horrified and disgusted by what she poured out. He said she was sick, that she was perverted and disgusting.
How could this young and normal man understand Erica's stagnant bursts that had been stagnant for decades, as well as her alternative way of dispelling her desires.
This time, Ward's disdain for her made Erica completely defeated. In order to please her man, she had to take the initiative to condescend to cater to him. If Erica had at least stubbornly maintained her truest self before, then from the time she began to succumb to her man, all her pursuits had turned sour and confused.
She ran to the hockey rink locker room to find Ward, but ended up with a failed sexual experience. Erica kept throwing up, gargling, opening the door and stepping into the vast white outside.
The whiteness of the unity of heaven and earth reflects the emptiness of Erica's heart and the helplessness of her feelings.
Although Ward was tired of Erica's capriciousness, but driven by desire, he knocked on her door in the middle of the night and possessed her. Before possessing her, Ward locked her mother in the room, beat her in the face, and kicked her into the corner, as she told her in the letter. At this time, however, Erica couldn't take it anymore, and the sex she fantasized about was ferocious that she didn't expect.
When Ellie was under Ward, she was not happy and relieved. Her expression was a little bit of astonishment and loss, and she was crying silently without even having an expression. Until Ward put on his trousers and said,
"Look, love is nothing." This sentence is the cruelest sentence in the whole film, although this sentence just shows Ward as a normal man. A normal heart, but it ruined Erica's last little hope for the deepest love in her heart, and ruined the whole meaning of Erica's condescension in order to get love.
How sad this is. She curled up in the corner in pain.
From here, looking back at Ward's emotional line, he has said to Erica that he loves her many times, but his love is like dabbling in a beast. He pursues Erica obsessively, how much is it because of love, how much is the desire to conquer caused by his feeling that Erica is unconquerable, and how much is the male self-esteem frustrated by Erica's elusive control?
Love is the cloak of desire. Ward is infatuated with Erica, but said to Erica in the women's toilet that he hoped that there would be a fair rule in this game; but after Erica rejected him, he reluctantly sighed: "I don't know this. How much patience do I have?" But after taking possession of the woman he didn't give up, he said to Erica, who was covered in blood and lying on the ground in pain, that love is nothing, and then left unsympathetically.
Finally, in this last battle, Erica lost everything. Her thirst for love and sex eventually turned into physical and mental damage. After repeated advance and retreat, after this victory of Huade, love was worn away and only ashes remained.
The final scene is in the concert hall. Erica went to the show with a knife. Mother and her students took their seats one by one, and she wandered around the hall, looking for Ward in the crowd. I finally saw him and his friends of the same age walking in briskly before the show started. Ward said very easily: "It's a pleasure to meet, Professor, and I look forward to seeing your performance." This sentence put their relationship into a glacier. All experiences, without emotional support, are like leaves falling from the sky, with nowhere to go. They were nothing, and when Ward easily finished saying such words, leaving like this. They are nothing, nothing.
Looking at the figure of Hua De jumping away, Erica held back her tears, took out the knife from her schoolbag, stabbed her left chest, and then slowly retracted the knife. The moment she stabbed herself, her expression twisted, but she immediately calmed down and her heart was still like water. Blood seeped from her white shirt and slowly opened.
As usual, she took her small steps, left the music hall, left the vision of the camera, left the entanglement of love, left the life of despair.....
