love & die & happy

Before watching this movie, I just watched "Martin's Love". Both films are a bit neurotic, but "Horse" first tightens your nerves, and then opens up a plain to you, and "Angel Loves Beyond" just happens to be It's the opposite way.

"Martin's Amour" is based on Aristotle and Kant's later additions about the "behavior that makes people happy, but happiness itself does not produce happy behavior, so the behavior that makes people happy also becomes happy. Consumer goods, pleasure is addictive, so it must be achieved through the act of obtaining pleasure." This proposition unfolds the story as a clue.

In "Horse", the act of making a person happy is naturally sex, while in "Angel" it becomes a puzzle, stalking, giving gifts, her desires (not just sexual desires, it is presumed from the details in the film that more Mostly panic of loneliness.) Through her past indirect experience, she had these behaviors, and these behaviors achieved a certain erotic satisfaction, allowing her to achieve satisfaction again and again, so she became addicted.

Infatuation with this kind of thing is harder to quit than heroin.

What's more, for An Qi, this kind of beautiful emotion is what she has been yearning for. But she had no object to generate such emotions. This is a bit like people who have been extremely weight loss for a long time occasionally suddenly lose control of their food, causing eating disorders, and eating until they vomit and have stomach bleeding.

Because it's been missing for too long.

In the film, An Qi on the bed said, "I have no parents, I have only you." She is hypnotizing herself, she is convincing herself that she still has fetters in this world, and there is still a beam of sunshine in this world that will warm her The bed, so when the virtual he was about to leave her, she chose to commit suicide - when a person has no sense of belonging to anything in this world, what reason does she have to live?

However, when the doctor finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted at her face to face: "This is all your fantasy!", she was stunned, her vision was blurred, and she attacked him.

This seems a little bizarre, or at least it doesn't seem like a logical thing to do. However, I think there is a rationality, because when he draws a line between the "real self" and her "fantasy self", it means that the "real him" is different from the "fantasy him" tolerable.

In this way, in order to keep the "fantasy him", or let the "fantasy him" live forever, the "real him" is an unforgivable existence.

So——killing him became the first instinctive behavior to protect his fantasies. She has fallen into this inextricable "love", because returning to reality and becoming a "normal person" is not a redemption for her, but an infinite and endless emptiness.

And the meaning of "reality" is to have the contrast of "unreal", but we have no way to prove whether the fantasy is reality or reality is unreal, so if your "ability" is enough, if you can feel the reality in both worlds , then choose the happy side.

What's wrong with being the "Fuku" written by Akutagawa Ryusuke, maybe it's just bystanders who feel sad and pity.
