reflection on human nature

After watching the second one, my rating must be higher than the first one. The second part not only explains the process of the main line. More added some reflections on human nature. The lens feels more direct. bloody. However, there are different perspectives of psychology from both buyers and sellers. Many foreshadowing descriptions are very subtle. The same plot, 3 male protagonists replaced by 3 female protagonists. The same torture. But what I want to mention is the scene from the three American women who went to the front desk of the inn and went to the back to copy their information and auction the three people. Different shots from the back. Successful people play golf. Sitting on cbd for a meeting. Sunbathe on the beach. Play in the private swimming pool. Some of the political mappings elaborated by the director are self-evident. Then two buyers later. One is strong and the other is cowardly. You can see it from the tattoo scene. The cowardly buyer couldn't bear to meet and communicate with the heroine at the party. The dialogue in front of the factory gate after kidnapping the heroine "Killed people, your wife, your business enemy. The kind of momentum that comes naturally, the people around you. They will fear you," this passage comes from the strong one buyers. But in the end after the torture. From dress up. The same "swimming cap" really looks like a person. In the end, the strong buyer broke down after he accidentally mutilated the heroine, breached the contract and was bitten into pieces by a dog. And that cowardly-looking tattoo didn't dare to buy, and was disturbed from the beginning. Later, he vented his anger at his wife's strict wife control for many years, that kind of dehumanizing. What the real director tells the audience through the different reactions of the two buyers is the different two-sided psychology of the same person. Even the most cowardly person, what erupts in some circumstances is the most terrifying. Even strong people have good intentions in their hearts.

Some other details of the second part. Including some naked female bodies, sex scenes. The bloody bathing part with blood. In the end, I hurriedly cut off the part of the female model who brought them in. And the last part where the kid kicks the head as a football. Makes the whole movie more full. So the second part must be a sublimation of the first one.
