I'm used to watching songs and dances rise to the top, but I occasionally find it difficult to adapt to Yuan Ziwen, who is keen to show people's mental problems. It's just that these kinds of films don't let you pass the time, they are always thought-provoking.
Yu is actually a very loving boy. Although in the eyes of the world, he is a "pervert" who often secretly takes pictures of girls' skirts. In life, we will hate such deviant people without thinking and stay away. As if they were a bunch of monsters, to stay away. However, this movie allows you to see how You entered such an abyss step by step from a handsome young man. You will even feel sympathy for him. I think he is still a good young man.
You have always been a spokesperson for love. The reason is that he has lived in a loving environment since he was a child and has received sufficient warmth. Although his mother died young, his memory of his mother is still so warm. Before her death, this dignified and beautiful woman left a hopeful belief in her son's heart: to find a girl like the Virgin Mary and introduce her to her in the future. The mother is so devout in religion, and like the Virgin, she bathes him in the radiance of holiness and kindness. So many years after she left, You still remembers this moment to the heart. And her husband has always guarded his son, lived a polite and festive life, and even became a priest.
Originally, Yu grew up in such an environment, and lived with his father, Zhe, who was kind and filial to his son. Until that slutty woman Kaoru appeared. As a priest, Tetsu, who had been abstinent for many years, could not resist the temptation of Kaoru's naked body at all.
The broken-hearted Zhe realizes that everyone has original sin. He actually forced his son to confess to him every day. Originally, You was a pure young man with a kind heart and no evil thoughts at all. But he loved his father and wanted his father's love. Lying will be discerned by Tetsu. In order to satisfy his father, Yu had to take the initiative to do some bad things.
Some people from the underworld pointed him, and what the priest couldn't stand the most was not fighting, but taboo behaviors related to sex.
So Yu found his father's dead end. He confessed to Zhe that he secretly photographed the bottom of the girl's skirt, and Zhe was really furious. Yuu is ecstatic to find that Tetsu is finally reacting like a father. rather than a rational priest.
What a poor child. For a teenager, before he falls in love with the opposite sex, the emotional focus is family affection. It is very difficult for a person to survive without love. Even monks, they have spiritual sustenance, love for the afterlife, or great love for the world.
Tetsu took such an extreme path in order to bond with his father. He is not yet mature enough to disengage and defy patriarchy. The real pervert is his father, but he still attaches great importance to Zhe, and he cannot examine and recognize the essence of his father's weakness.
When Yu was in the crowd and found Yoko who looked especially like the Virgin Mary, he even gave everything for Yoko. In order to save Yoko from the control of the cult, he even killed people and bombed buildings.
Those who have been loved can give and pour love.
Until Yoko tried to strangle him and the Virgin Mary was shattered again, his spiritual world finally collapsed, only going mad.
And Yoko and Guchi, these two eccentric girls, both have eccentric families. Mothers were absent and fathers had sexually assaulted them.
The difference is their reaction. Gu Chi was more intense, and took the initiative to remove his father's genitals, and became the leader of a cult. Gu Chi learned to use violence to control violence, and when she fell in love with Yu, she also used control methods. Take the initiative to enter his life, take control of his family, dominate his life.
And Yoko, although she has also used violence, hates men, and even punches and kicks strangers she meets on the street. But compared to Gu Chi, who is like a little she-wolf, she is at most just a little sheep pretending to be ruthless. Otherwise, You wouldn't think of her as the saint in her heart, and she wanted to treat her again and again.
Recently, I saw Ma Xiaoting on Weibo promoting "good marriage style". Simply put, it is to tell women to have a gentle appearance and take the sweet line of Ayilian, which will be more popular with men. In fact, all she knew was appearances.
Guchi's clothing is completely "marriage-friendly", and even wears the classic white horn button coat and white sweater advocated by Ma Xiaoting. However, what men like is true tenderness, which comes from the bones. Gu Chi couldn't hide her strength. Her figure is "big", her cheekbones are high, and her eyes are full of control. And the beautiful Yoko is completely a birdie.
The goddess in the hearts of young men was originally pure and beautiful. That's why Yoko became the female No. 1, and You was willing to shatter her body to protect her. Even if the domineering Gu Chi is in front of him and commits suicide for him, he will not have deep pity.
This is the tragedy of some women. Because it does not conform to the aesthetics and values of the patriarchal society, it is doomed to not get the love and protection of the opposite sex.
While people are approaching middle age, some "good men" have become obsessed with fierceness and indulgence. Like Tetsu, Kaoru, who is wild and rude, on the surface, refuses, but is actually very obsessed with it. His original wife was also a simple woman in the style of the Virgin Mary.
All I can say is, each flower has its own eyes. Different stages have different needs.
Although You had been doing perverted behaviors for his father for a long time, he did not get any trivial fun from the candid photography, and he was never addicted to it. He is still struggling to find the saint in his heart. After meeting Yoko, he was tired of candid photography and was no longer interested.
Even, his body only reacted strongly to Yoko. Later, he finally realized that this kind of erection was not ashamed of her, it was normal and from the heart. He never really offended Yoko. Even at the seaside, alone by her side for several days and nights, he still controlled his desires, just guarding her and trying to save her.
It is touching, and the three good friends of You. Although they are the same people who were photographed secretly, their friendship is extraordinarily sincere. Those three men will accompany him and support him at every low point in his life. Always be there for him and help him when he is in trouble. That's why you will say loudly that perverts also have perverted lives.
Japanese society has extra tolerance for them, such as making the best of everything and letting them join the AV business.
Therefore, this film will not make you feel perverted and terrible, but will make you feel that they are also human beings with flesh and blood, and some of them also have noble spiritual needs, as well as the desire to love and be loved.
You's eyes are always so clear, even if he is confused at certain moments. We have a saying of adolescence. In the process of growing up, we will indeed face some pains. Gradually leave the family, gradually establish our own values, and gradually come into contact with the unfamiliar world of love, there will be discomfort and difficulties.
At the end of the film, when you see Yu and Yoko going through all kinds of disasters, and their hands are finally connected, what you feel is the warmth that remains under the vicissitudes of Sonoko's appearance. What is exposed, acknowledged and accepted is the true love that comes from within. Even if there will be some deviant thoughts and behaviors, we can still be like You, with a beautiful heart and always have our own beliefs.
