A ferocious and illusory oil painting on canvas, and an enchanting sad aria.

-- Save me!
Save me! Those childhood wounds are painful and have no chance to heal. And how much I hope to be redeemed, even if I am a demon king who seems authoritative and cruel, wearing a purple cloak, cruel, rude, angry... My other sub-personality, weak, ignorant, cowardly, It is a child who suffered from his father's domestic violence in his childhood. He doesn't know where his sin is. He has to endure such unbearable punishment, be cared for and abused. In my eyes, my father is my king.
--Please stay with me . Katherine's words are just a plausible lie. Because Carlo lives in the inner world, he pinned too much undeserved joy on self-made real dolls, and pinned too much abuse and abuse. Distortion Satisfaction. His childhood trauma was too deep and heavy to be faced and digested overnight. Catherine, you don't know how to deal with your "broken ship", you just blindly "replace" the old image with a fake model of a sailboat, how can you heal Kano's crazy and staggering self-destruction?

-- You are ok .You are saved. The victim is imprisoned in a glass room by Kano in the film. In the end, the agent sneaked into the subconscious of Kano, who had become a vegetative person, and found his self-created "sculptor" pattern attached to the surface of the glass box, and finally rescued the trapped hostage from danger.

Only those who live in reality have the possibility of being saved. Therefore, when Catherine entered Kano's subconscious and transformed into a virgin and a chivalrous woman, the sharp arrows hit Kano Demon King's limbs, symbolizing that the sexual energy of his distortion and expansion was controlled. When a golden dagger was inserted into Kano's shoulder... The brilliant director explained everything with a simple plot - bright red blood flowed from the shoulder of the child Kano at the same time, the demise of one sub-personality would inevitably lead to the demise of the other. Redemption of a child cannot change the fact that after the slaying of the Demon King Kano brings true peace: death.

The film is filled with a lot of symbolic scenes. Such as the barren desert, the dilapidated sailboat, the maroon horses, and a small mirror to the outside world. Transparent water tanks, white dolls, fields without seedlings. Majestic and terrifying birds, chains and knives, pythons emerging from pools, bull demons with hard horns. For a while it was the Virgin in white and the heroine in black, crawling to the green grasshopper in the hands of little Kano. "The horses were broken into pieces by the glass falling from the ceiling, implying Kano's schizophrenia, implying that he has lost the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion, causing his subconscious image of saving his mother to be implemented in reality."
Rich The symbolic meaning is contained in the setting of the scenery, which makes me have to taste and perceive carefully, and I am also full of the addiction of image dialogue.

When it comes to treatment, Catherine's incarnation as a chivalrous woman has a very typical meaning. This is a kind of counter-transference, that is, ignoring the sameness and duality between Kano and the Demon King, blindly destroying the Demon King and redeeming children, but not knowing that he brought his own trauma and emotions into the treatment, and participating in Kano’s original The complex conflicts make the situation even more dangerous and confusing. A helper must first clarify his own pain, and then understand the crux of others, help him see these cruxes clearly, and be a person who accompanies and accepts, rather than a specific actor. The real mind has its destiny and laws, just follow it.

In the end, I feel that I will take good advantage of the mutual illusion and help of the sub-personality, and nourish and take good care of my isolated and sensitive side and my independent and easy-going spiritual side, so that my life will be more peaceful and smooth.
