The appeal of violent aesthetics, Reivew on The Collector

In fact, the real attraction of this type of film is the horror itself. In the horror atmosphere, we can experience a deep sense of existence without reflection. The double oppression of terror and death makes us re-engage in an anxious and complex mood. Stimulates the survival instinct of the self. Mark Twain wrote: Of all the creatures in the world, man is the cruelest. Only one can indulge in the pleasure of inflicting pain. These are the words of Mifuyu or Yusui in the previous comment on "Magic Night". It seems more appropriate for violent abusers.
This itself is a sick society, and the night is full of lust, cruelty and filth. I don't think there is anything wrong with the adjective "sick". Just as art is a mirror, ugly people must see an ugly mirror. Also, I always thought that when we see evil, we can see good. Only when we can see the most real ugliness and violence can we create the splendor and beauty that penetrates the hearts of the people.
Eileen Chang once said, "Life is a beautiful robe, covered with lice." For this robe, our approach is to conceal it and tell the people that this dress is so beautiful that the lice will upset us after wearing it. Confusion will not think it is beautiful; but violence will make you see the lice in this robe, make you see its ugliness, and then make you regret its beauty. Just like the yin and yang poles of Tai Chi. Perverted, disgusting violence can create a lot of shocking works of art because it can see dirty.
