cruelty of life

Saw three Lars von Trier films, first The Antichrist, then Depression, the latter was really disappointing, but The Antichrist was really good , so I'm still looking forward to Nymphomaniac.

Just after watching Volume I, I can't stop. On the one hand, the actors are all good, on the other hand, the story itself. There are many movies about sex addiction, but this one is somewhat different. The movie starts with Joe getting hurt and meeting Hanse Ligman, which is a tragedy from the start.

In fact, Qiao is no different from others. It is not very strange to know sex at a young age, but she dares to explore. Later, the sex competition on the train has gone beyond the scope of sex and has become a test of human nature (even though this is not the meaning of the heroine). This temptation isn't cynical or promiscuous, it's more of a simple experiment, simply trying to get a result (who gets the sugar). Joe is a very simple person, she didn't want to destroy other people's families in the past, although she has already caused such a result. She didn't seem to have thought about the meaning of what she did, she just lived according to her own nature (this is not advocated, people still have to consider the possible consequences of their actions, and can't do whatever they want).

Going back to the direction of directors, many of Lars' films are about women, but in the end they all go beyond the category of women. The people in the movie seem to need to be saved, but after watching the movie, people feel that they are not qualified to talk about salvation and heroes. Everyone is fragile and strong, a bit like Pascal's reed. You can only look at other people's lives, and then look at yourself, and you are not qualified to point fingers and criticize. The movie doesn't portray Joe as a free-spirited woman or suggest that she's pathetic or anything. It’s more like just recording the cruelty of life. A woman who is addicted to a sex has a venereal disease. Maybe viewers will feel that she deserves it, but think about it carefully. People who like diving drown, people who like to travel have an accident on their plane... Really every time Say who deserves it for you not to stay at home. It’s okay to say these things are a pity, but it’s not a pity. There are inevitably sorrows in human life, but it is enough to do it actively and bear the consequences that may occur in the future with a smile.

PS: I feel that Skarsgard's book bag is very warm. It actually makes me want to use the word cure.
