Unsatisfied

Well, first of all, I admit that I was reporting this movie with the mentality of watching porn for entertainment, but I was amazed by the long shot and background music at the beginning, and then I realized that the director had filmed "Dogtown" and "In the Darkness". "The Dancer" Lars von Trier of these two dark masterpieces.
After watching the film for a long time, I can't calm down, the amount of information is too much, and my mind is in a state of confusion.
Although the film is full of sex scenes, it does not turn you on at all. It is just a daily and deserted feeling. Therefore, the sex addiction of the heroine is not much different from other addictions. In my opinion, the heroine is in It’s the same if you go to bed constantly or eat apples or do other things. Sexual pleasure numbs pain and fills up the emptiness of life.
I always think that Open-minded is one of the best qualities of mankind! Just like the heroine’s father said: All kinds of trees are like all kinds of souls, some are simple, some are upright, and some are twisted. . . But he didn't mean to judge.
In fact, how many people want to be so reckless, but they are often constrained by morality and fear. Therefore, the essence of human society she said has always been hypocrisy rather than truth.
The female protagonist is frank and open, and she almost never pretends or dresses in order to cater to men. Once I heard a male friend with a rich sex life say this: In fact, many women don't really want to do it. They just agreed with your suggestion. Many people who pretend to be cynical and bohemian are just traditional defenders in their bones, and they criticize others from a moral perspective from time to time. The sensuality that the heroine feels is a real fusion of body and mind, and there is no need to pretend and beautify it externally.
I don't know how to express this feeling, just like a real rock man, rock is himself, and he doesn't pretend to be rock by appearance or behavior.
Female addicts are painful. They are so painful that they don’t know how to calm this pain apart from sexual pleasure. Female addicts are also warriors who face their desires without hesitation.
Ironically, when the hostess responded to a group of gun friends in a random manner, the other party became more and more fascinated by her, indicating that the effect of logically handling the relationship between men and women is not as good as being illogical.
There are three typical men mentioned in the film: the first is that the fat guy represents regular and safe sex, which is reliable and gentle at fixed points, and can make the female protagonist completely trust and relax. The second type of cheetah male represents passionate sex with a little bit. Crude and conquering, but at the same time a kind of excitement, the third type of lovers is love with love, tenderness and honey, full physical and mental devotion. I feel that these three forms of sex should represent the three elements that typical women like: safety, being conquered, and loving. It is a pity that these traits are generally scattered among different men. The expectation of this kind of complete sex should also be one of the reasons for the dissatisfaction.

    People are obsessed with sex because they can let go of thinking during the process of sex, and experience the beauty of "selflessness" at the moment of climax.

    I watched it as a pornographic film in my freshman year, and when I re-watched it, I really felt like an annotation to feminism. For example, Beauvoir's Second Sex talks about the rebellion of a girl, and the sense of a girl's first experience when she is poked into it. These are the growth of ordinary girls. The shackles of this film, but the heroine of this film completely breaks the law of the other, smashes sexual shame, directly transcends, and controls sexual pleasure. Really pioneering. And all of them are linked to sex addicts, which reflects the fact that women are still passive.
