Misplaced sincerity, paranoid feelings

In the eyes of Nick, the director of the surgical hospital, the charming Helena is his love, but Helena doesn't take this suitor to heart. In order to keep Helena by his side, Nick designed her to miss the shift. Unexpectedly, the clever Helena noticed Nick's conspiracy, but had a car accident on the way to escape.
Helena, who woke up from a coma, found that she had lost her legs, and standing in front of her was the culprit Nick. Nick explained to Helena that the amputation was to save her life, but Helena did not believe it. And just like that, Nick starts taking care of Helena alone, and their twisted relationship begins.
The beginning of the film shows that the mother did not play a positive role in Nick's growth, not only did not give sufficient care, but also made Nick innately jealous of his lack of self-confidence, especially in terms of sex. Nick, who has a successful career, has an extreme and paranoid pursuit of beauty. He is obsessed with the sculpture of the incomplete Venus. He has a morbid tendency to be born with an Oedipus complex. The arrival of Helena is not only the desire for love in his heart, but the missing Making up for it also made him truly feel that he was a complete male, so he became more and more crazy in love.
And he is cowardly and lacks self-confidence, so that he can't bear the strong emotions himself and the person he loves can't bear it. The perfect lover Helena in his eyes is more like an object, a possession, a medal for realizing self-worth.
Perhaps true love is to take the time to understand what the lover really needs. Blindly demanding will only make oneself lose dignity and put the other party in prison.

    The sadomasochistic exhibition of perverts, beware of adverse reactions after watching it.

    Three and a half. The film itself has to express far more than the plot can present, the kind of unpredictable but indeterminate differences in possession, desire and attachment between men and women. But I thought of a strange story drawn by Takahashi Yesuke, saying that the elder sister accidentally injured the younger brother's eye, and the parents urgently sent the younger brother to medical treatment. Take care of my younger brother, live with my younger brother, and show my unhappiness, strength, kindness and self-satisfaction on the body of my disabled younger brother. Suddenly hearing that her brother was fine, she smiled and picked up the fruit knife and approached the brother who asked her for a hug. In this way, it is not just a question of possessiveness, it is the maliciousness of the "only way to survive" brewed by the control and inferiority of others at the deepest level.
