It took half a year to make up for the second part. I don't know if it was because of a change in mood or something. I think the second part is much better. It was a bit boring and unsettling when I watched 1, but I am quite engaged in watching it today. I held my breath and counted in my heart as K whipped Joe. I knew the pain was too deep to produce any pleasure. I also understand why she's addicted to it. It's like a kind of self-sacrifice where the loneliness of the spirit is "purified" under the pain of the body, and it doesn't seem so hard. And when the suffering that soothes the inner loneliness turns into desire and burns, one finds a little sweetness as Fazari Salieri sings - C'est le bien qui fait mal. I can't help but associate Joe with Kawujiri Matsuko . People are criticizing Matsuko's "LOVE is life" attitude towards life, but in fact I totally agree. However, it is not difficult to see that Matsuko, like Joe, in a sense, apricot and love are both fighting to suppress the monstrous loneliness. It's a struggle against loneliness. I don't agree with so-called feminism. In my opinion, the gist of The Nymphomaniac is definitely not about feminism or the power of women. I also don't think Joe is really about fighting society as she says. I think loneliness is what they or we are trying so hard to fight. There is a little bit that I don't think is right is the part about Joe and the two black people at the time. I don't think it's a very ordinary transition and it's not enough to be a bridge to support Joe's subsequent search for K. And the ending of Seligman's approach I think is true, clever, logical and hopeless. It's hard but okay. And after watching the movie I decided to start looking for my soul tree next winter um. Pure personal thoughts over.
