It's very simple and straightforward. What the film tells is two stories of a person playing me and me playing people in a specific environment, and the cycle of heaven and retribution that has a cause and a result is unpleasant, and these two stories are covered. Put on the cloak of cruelty. In the film, first five men play with one woman, this is because. Then the order is reversed, a woman playing five men, this is fruit. However, after playing and playing, the final result is that everyone is dead. Of course, the later heroines belong to the freshmen and are not included in this. What's interesting is that in this death hunting game for the purpose of sex and heart, there is almost no interference from so-called social factors, what moral bottom lines, what legal constraints... all are just floating clouds. Because in this specific "Xanadu" place, the weak and the strong eat, and only the loss of human nature, despicableness, filth and perversion dominates this hunting game. Whether it is five local men or a foreign woman, this is the case.
In the first story, impulse is the devil. In order to write a novel with peace of mind, the sexy heroine went to a quiet remote mountain lodge alone on impulse. However, for the sake of temporary sex, the four local young people joined forces and began to abuse the heroine. Later, the identity of the local police intervened, escalating play abuse into sexual abuse, and made the matter even more crazy and large-scale. To put it another way, it's like a hunting game in which a hunter in a small background plays with his prey. However, when the prey disappears and the life and death are unknown, a sense of crisis that will be played begins to haunt the hunter, because at this time, the game mechanism in the background makes the hunter panic. In short, everything is impulsive to blame.
In the second story, vengeance is the devil. As the saying goes, it is rude to come and go. The new heroine turned into a savage girl and re-emerged with a strong attitude, making the paranoia of revenge to the point of no return. But obviously, in this revenge game, the fierce girl also abandoned the game mechanics in the larger context, because she chose herself to be the sanctioner of this hunting game. The appearance of the fierce girl makes the atmosphere of the film change suddenly, and the feeling of yin and yang decline is everywhere, as if the hunter and the prey have switched roles. What’s more, what’s interesting is that the fierce girl knows how to retaliate with her own way. Her previous prey played the previous hunter with the previous hunter’s gameplay, but the cruelty and bloody methods are even more serious. Going up a floor, there is a tendency that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. It's just that the director's intentions seem a little too much, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, I would like to add that, although cruelty for the sake of cruelty is the focus of this film, the story told in the film is a very negative expression of how to overcome violence with violence under the degeneration of human nature. The theme of revenge, which is just like the smile of the heroine in the final scene of the film, seems somewhat ironic and boring.
