In fact, what the film tells is also true. Diane does have a good family environment. She and her husband have jointly run a photography studio. They have two daughters and later divorced her husband. She also said: Most people spend their entire lives worrying about and avoiding harm to themselves, and freaks are born with irreparable wounds. They have experienced the harshest test that life can give from birth. They are the lifeblood of life. the nobility. The problem is that the angle of the film is seriously skewed, and a film about an artist who has such sympathy for freaks should let people see this great human brilliance and extraordinary creative attainments. As a result, the film starts with Diane's dissatisfaction with the current situation of life, which makes people feel that she is a grumpy woman who is restrained by her strict mother at home before marriage, and is tired of housework after marriage, and her sex life with her husband is not harmonious. The film then shows that Diane meets her neighbor Lionel, a paralyzed man with hirsutism. From then on, she begins to bravely step out of bondage, seek freedom, and of course, she begins to face up to her sexual desires. This is the path of a woman's derailment, from being cautious at the beginning to being blatant later. Of course, I think the film still wants to express that Diane's artistic talent is stimulated and actively involved in the creation through meeting the freak. It's a pity that the purpose of this expression is very vaguely hidden under love. At the end of the film, Lionel died and used his hair to make a coat for Diane to express his love. Diane finally left her husband and daughter after the pain, picked up the camera and went to the nude club to start a more daring journey of freedom. It should have been said that she went a step further in her creation, but it turned out that people felt that she had lost her lover and was attached to photography. It's so frustrating to look at!
But it's not bad to watch this as an ordinary drama without using the artist's name. It is perfectly reasonable for a girl born from a strict education in a middle-class family to have an unhappy married life, long for freedom, and pity the weak. Bravely breaking through family shackles, secular prejudice, and falling in love with deformed people, even if life and death are separated, they will never forget. What a story!
However, this film is strange. In reality, Diane died of suicide. He was only in his 40s when he died. How many of the artists were normal people?
