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.

Boxing Helena quotes

  • Russell: [watching Helena bathe in the fountain] Who is she?

    Doctor Nick Cavanaugh: [mesmerized] She's... Helena.

  • Helena: A woman is something soft; something warm when you feel her. When she's naked. When she's touched. Discovered. You see that things happen inside of her. She opens up. Sometimes a woman is sad. Sometimes she's angry. Helpless. Beautiful. Sometimes she's strong. She's still only that one woman. Talk to her - in deep whispers. Tell her what you're doing, what you see. Move slowly. Tell her you're inside of her. Tell her how it feels. Touch her. Use your tongue. Your breath. When she's about to come, she'll grab for you. But don't let her come. Make her wait. Tease her. Play with her. Make her feel. She may touch herself. She's so sensitive now. You can't be afraid. Take her. Take her.
