However, this leads to the following problems: the first seven chapters of the film are logically coherent and can be justified by feminism; but the last chapter takes a sharp turn, and there is an inexplicable "crime and punishment". Note that crime and punishment does not refer to revenge by the only person who has ever loved and the adopted girl, but the girl pig suddenly felt distraught, wanted to kill because of love, and then felt that she had to change her mind and be a new person.
Not only is this plot set in a hurry, it completely reverses the tone of the whole story. So what exactly is this girl? Has this become an ethical and religious subject? Then what is it that you have ruined all the ethics, morals and religions in the past?
Even more nonsense is that in the Venice competition version, an appalling 30-minute abortion episode has been added. This is definitely a failure, not because of the religious sensitivities of abortion, but because it makes the whole story even less valid. Why let her finally say: "Even if only one percent of chickens know, again all odds, I want to quit sex addiction." She is a person who insists that she is the master of her body, and kills her children with her own hands. This repentance is like the cadre of the Communist Party saying that the party has trained me for so many years that I should not be corrupt. It seems very brainless and vulgar.
I don't know if it's clear. Anyway, the plot is very problematic. If you want to let the female pig live to the fullest, you should hold on to the end; if you want her to be punished, there can be no plots such as resistance to psychotherapy or abortion. It's just that the taste of the movie is too heavy and masks these problems. It seems that people in Sichuan cuisine care about how numb and spicy they are, but they don't have time to care about whether the ingredients are fresh.
I think it is necessary to avoid greed in the setting of the plot. Some people who should do subtraction should do subtraction. The most beautiful parts of the whole movie are the 3rd part (indifferently hurting the heartbroken wife) and 5th part (the three gun buddies in music theory).
