On the contrary, Ward is a "good boy" who is sexually well-behaved, speaks principles and knows right and wrong. Because of the female teacher's disrespect to his penis (doves when masturbated to the limit, nausea and vomiting during oral sex), for being asked to play thugs in "perverted" sadomasochism games, for not getting "normal" satisfaction And almost masturbating downstairs at the teacher's house, Ward is so annoyed that he fights and takes revenge on Erica with the classic "missionary pose". The scene is based on ultra-feminist theories: Erica has a nosebleed and is forcibly inserted by Ward. To give Ward a little color, Erica brought a knife to the concert the next day.
Between the sexes, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. I don't know if this is a true portrayal of the relationship between men and women, or whether it is telling erotic stories in the language of sexual politics.
The director explained the origin of Erica's sexual hobby from two aspects: on the one hand, living with her mother for a long time (sleeping in the same bed), no boyfriend, no privacy (even her mother knows the situation of her students), the mother's control (Tears her clothes, monitors her life, interrogates her late at home, is hostile to the men who visit the house - presumably because the mother is selfish and domineering because she is completely dependent on her daughter, both psychologically and materially), And the mother herself has not had sex for many years and so on.
Erica, on the other hand, presumably believes that madness is the closest thing to genius and art. She met Ward for the first time, talked to him about her favorite Schumann, commented that his Fantasia in C major was the product of the edge of madness, and admitted that her father died in a mental hospital, and she also knew the mental state on the verge of collapse. She was so impressed that she started playing Schubert's music to suit her preference. For Erica's love of "extreme experiences" (such as cutting her own pussy with a blade, peeping against the window glass of men and women having sex in an open-air cinema in a car so that she can't help urinating and risking being discovered at any time) Masturbating his own students in the toilet, giving Hua De oral sex next to the athlete locker room) very woman, Hua De caters to Ye Gong Hao Long, where does he have the irrational spirit in art that Erica came from her personal life experience understanding and recognition.
"Piano Teacher" won the Jury Prize at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, as if to leave a snapshot of the history of sexual politics. Erica and Howard, due to their irreconcilable sexual orientation, are unable to even make love, and the happiness of one side is actually humiliation and harm to the other side.
