love needs no definition, it is self-aware.
Just look at what the heroine bess [Breakthrough] is. . .
Sexual ethics, religion, family, social opinion.
Furthermore, she broke through the threat of death—earthly, heavenly.
The [normative] society formed by mothers, sisters, doctors, priests, judges, hooligans, whore clients, wild children, and strangers sentenced her to death and [distributed] her to hell.
But who does she live for? her lover.
Did she die because of it?
I once asked a person: [If the whole world abandoned me, would you still believe me? 】
She replied: 【At this time, you also abandoned the whole world. 】
I want to go back to this sentence of Orwell:
【being in a minority does not make you mad. there is truth and there is untruth. if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you are not mad.】
Female Isn't the protagonist also medically identified as [mental illness]?
There are free people who have been designated as reactionaries by the powerful government, and
here are heretics who have been condemned to death by society [unspoken rules].
Death is inevitable, I think - the power of democracy is indeed strong.
Her body was undoubtedly murdered,
but her will was not shaken; she always lived in the world of [spiritual contact] established with her lover.
I think she still won (compare the ending of [1984]).
And after her death, the
doctor retracted the previous expert opinion,
Both mother and sister confessed, and the
priest fought for a funeral. . .
Perhaps some sacrifices are not in vain.
Perhaps not many people are more desperate than orwell.
I checked the director, and actually directed [dogville]. .
Same ruthlessness, same thought-provoking, same weirdness. . .
But I'm more inclined to [Dog Town]'s exploration of the problem: I can't get an answer there.
It's not that the answer isn't available, it's just that the problem seems more complicated.
And here, Bess is just reaffirming what he has long believed.
