I seem to understand something.

After seeing the second part, I began to think that this film had a plot. It turned out that the heroine is also full of emotions, and the emotions are so rich. The story of the movie is so naked. A wounded woman Joe tells the old man who rescued her that she only Sordid history of unloving sex, including those brave "fights" on trains with girlfriends. On the other hand, the single old man who only loves to "entertain himself" all his life is constantly making associative responses with boring concepts such as fishing, philosophy, mathematics and music theory. The competition in which middle school girls compete with one-time objects for a box of candy on the train corresponds to the technical theory of river fly fishing; Bach's twelve-average law has become an analytical tool for "women warriors" to analyze their different sexual objects. As a result, boring theoretical knowledge has a wonderful black humor effect in pornographic movies, and things that don't look like a horse's mouth have a hilarious intertextuality in sex games.
From the beginning to the end of the movie, a loop is formed, the plot is a loop, and the cause and effect are also connected together. And in the middle, the story is about the life of the heroine Joe. (Forgive my substitution for the name of the heroine...)
Saligment constantly inserts his own evaluation in the heroine's narration, with literary, philosophical, botanical, and zoological viewpoints, to look at and evaluate calmly, Maybe it's because he is a virgin that he is so objective, but gradually, his views begin to change with joe's narration. According to the common sense of his society and the rules of the book, joe's body is carried out. Correspondingly, she began to have contempt for her, a poor sex addict who abandoned his son to seek that humble pleasure in the SM club. It can be seen from a plot in it that even in Western countries, if you are with different men every day, you will be discussed behind your back by colleagues, and leaders will be fired for talking to them. So in the end, when the old virgin wants to break, you told her that the gun must be insured first, but you...you have fucked thousands of man. The last line of defense reveals that in addition to his previous general statement The general theory, the general opinion, the intermittent sympathy for what joe has been through can't cover up his original desire.


joe said her original sin was sunset. The difference between sunset and sunrise is that sunset is powerful, without delay, falling into the horizon decisively, letting go of day and night. Also, Joe finally killed Seligman, but only for a moment.
The sunrise is slow, and it climbs up from the horizon little by little, and a cloud floats, the red changes to pale yellow again, just like climbing a rock, a slip, and it has to start all over again. Also like in the movie, Seligman and Joe talk until dawn, the ray of dawn light is slanting on the corner of the wall, the arrival of the sunrise, the end of the story, the new friend that I started to think may be the first friend, But he died under his own gun, doubting whether he would become a killer, so he did it so quickly.
I agree with the last line at the end of the film, and it has become the essence of feminism. You are resisting and fighting for your gender, so after you are alone again, you gradually allow yourself to return to your own temperament. live.

The last paragraph is the culmination of the whole film. After more than four hours of foreshadowing, what the director wants to express is complete.
