. The opening of the movie is very dramatic, a piece of beautiful music, plus The last couple of young couples were packing their bags and seemed to be going on vacation (one detail should be paid attention to here, the director specially made a close-up of a pair of handcuffs, which lays the foundation for the future plot) The
two seemed to be on their way to the vacation house. It was a very sweet move (the heroine kissed the man's hand), but in fact there was a trace of disagreement between the two on the heroine's face, and at this moment they met a wild dog (this dog is also for the plot) Afterwards
, the two came to the hut, and the two began their wonderful vacation. The female protagonist was walking on the beach, admiring the seaside scenery, and painting. At this moment, there was another close-up, and the male protagonist wore a small blue The film (this is the third foreshadowing buried in this film)
After a lazy afternoon, the style of painting suddenly changed. The man wanted to play something exciting, so he put the heroine on the bed with handcuffs. Without the sweetness in the car before, instead, the two people's emotional instability and mutual distrust are reflected in some hypocritical praise, artificial cooperation, and the male protagonist is too old and incompetent. At this juncture, because the male protagonist who had eaten a small blue tablet before finally suffered a heart attack, he lay down on the female protagonist and took the lunch. The
female protagonist suddenly panicked, her hands were tied to the head of the bed and could not move. The corpse of the male protagonist fell to the ground, and his heart was full of panic, and he kept shouting his boyfriend's name, hoping that the male protagonist would wake up, but he found that the male protagonist was already helpless, and when she was alone in the house, she only Crying and screaming helplessly
Just at this moment, the wild dog I met on the road ran into the house and gnawed on her husband's body. At this time, the heroine's panic reached its peak. Because the heroine was too nervous, she began to hallucinate. In the illusion, two people appeared. A avatar, a self, a male protagonist, (in the fantasy world, the two thought about a lot of survival skills for communication, because the hands were tied, how to drink water, how to get rid of the handcuffs, etc.) The two were in the fantasy world before each other. The disagreement between them is called "communication" in a formal sense (this communication is just the heroine's venting of dissatisfaction with her past life). From the communication, I know that the heroine knows the infidelity of the male lead, but she has always maintained tolerance and forgiveness. While venting her dissatisfaction, she recalled her childhood, that unsightly summer, in that unsightly childhood past, watching what happened to the half moon at the seaside in her childhood, no doubt that the heroine never lived in her life. I wish to recall the past, this may be the root of the heroine's fear, in fact, life is destined to have joys and sorrows, and some tragedies are a seed planted by everyone when they are young. It will be forgotten, but time will never heal the so-called pain in my heart. Although the father was so cruel to her that time, the heroine still chose to forbear, just like forgiving her husband.
One night in the hallucinations and reality, a tall but unknown monster appeared. I once I thought it was an addition produced by the heroine's hallucination, but I didn't expect this monster to become a catalyst and constitute one of the sources of fear for the heroine.
To sum up, (1) The husband, as the patron saint of his wife, should be the guardian The wife, so that it will not be hurt, but every time you want to get the satisfaction of your own desires by hurting the wife. (2) The heroine's father did not use the correct educational methods to love and care for his daughter, but chose morbid love to keep his daughter by his side, causing the daughter's young heart to suffer indelible wounds. Without exception, like the monsters in the play, they did not choose a suitable way to treat the closest ones around them. It is precisely because of these three characters that they constitute the source of fear in the heroine's soul.
At the end of the story, the heroine chose to face her own demons bravely, to face the past that she didn't want to talk about when she was a child, and to say goodbye to her own past. The shape has changed from the previous semicircle to a circle, which also shows the change and development of the heroine's mentality.) In the opening shot of the confrontation with the heroine's inner demon, you will find that the heroine when she was a child also wears the same clothes as in reality. Deputy handcuffs, this shows that his soul is imprisoned and bound. In the dialogue between the heroine and himself when he was a child, he learned that the heroine has always been in a state of protecting others. On the husband's side, he knows that the husband is cheating and is willing to protect him. On the father's side She knows that her father has done terrible things to her, and she is willing to protect and conceal it. In the process, these are not the duties and obligations of the heroine herself, but she is still willing to bear it all. She has always hoped to be a part of the family. However, due to his own character flaws and childhood shadows, he has never dared to integrate and let go, and has always buried his gloomy emotions in his heart. Because of this accident, the heroine's heart can be opened, and she can better reflect on her past. What she should do is not to be patient, but to choose to resist, go to SAY NO, and recall the past in the female lead. The hero discovered the escape skills, and was freed later with the help of his childhood memories. Just like his own mind, he was released. This point)
Comprehensive comment: The handcuffs that
appeared many times in the play
The "handcuffs" of the heroine's father before her and the "handcuffs" of Gerald's marriage together trapped the heroine's soul.
And the heroine has been longing for and getting rid of these so-called "handcuffs", not as she expected, just like the story happens, only when things happen, you need to face your past bravely again and again, to calm and relieve what happened Everything is necessary to obtain the so-called "liberation" at the ideological level, that is, freedom of thought, just like "his handcuffs are silent, his handcuffs are comfortable." At the end of the film, it represents the heroine's treatment of two different emotional views and expression.
After all, the opponents protected by the heroine have gradually become monsters that hurt themselves. Just like the monsters in the film, only the heroine can break the shackles of the "mind".
