Workaholic's Oedipus

Nearly three-quarters of the first part of the movie is actually the logical development of a normal love movie, and then it suddenly reverses. The male protagonist is willing to eat poisonous mushrooms and the relationship between the two parties is further sublimated. It is surprising, and this is too abnormal. One poisons the other, and the other is willing to eat poison, is that normal? In fact, if you think about the development of the film carefully, you can see that everything is reasonable.
In the process of watching, there were three clips of the actor recalling his mother. The two happened on the first date of the two parties. The actor told each other that he loved his mother very much. Wedding dress, I have been thinking about the meaning of this plot setting. In general Oedipus plots, the heroine is set to take care of the heroine like a mother, but the description in the front of this film is that the hero tailors clothes for his goddess from the moment of love at first sight. The feeling of fullness of lust, and the waitress of the heroine serving tea and pouring water made the other party feel irritated. In the back, the heroine takes the initiative to attack for love, and slowly develops from lust to control and wants to completely occupy the other party. The male protagonist's emotional attitude towards the two is basically in a passive stage.
When the film develops to the point where the heroine designs the use of poisonous mushrooms to make the other party sick so as to get a chance for two people to share a room, when the hero is sick, the mother's hallucination appears, and then the mother's hallucination and the heroine merge into one (the design of this piece is really wonderful Ah, it's vulgar enough). So it is not difficult to find that the motherly love of the sick heroine inspired his Oedipus plot, and he really wanted to enter into marriage with the other party.
How big is the gap between old husbands and young wives, from life routine to life attitude, they are completely opposite, which is why they have been quarreling and cold war. But the hero's attachment to his mother and the heroine's possessiveness towards love have finally reached a consensus. I am willing to eat poisonous mushrooms and return to the child-like state when I was sick to satisfy my desire to snuggle up in my mother's arms, and at the same time to achieve your complete Possessing my erotic state, coexisting with each other and sublimating emotions to find the best state of cooperation with each other, a love that almost fell apart finally came to peace.
This kind of extreme control over love that can be poisoned is actually quite common. There is a joke in real life that once said: Every couple wants to strangle each other 99 times out of 100 quarrels. I remember a sister said that once she and her husband went to climb a mountain, and when they reached the top of the mountain, she suddenly had an idea to push her husband down the mountain. Terrible? No, this is the truth of marriage, love and kill each other, want to dedicate everything for each other when in love, want each other to die when arguing, love and hate coexist in such harmony.
In fact, a considerable part of the love between men and women is born from this kind of mother-son love. One party needs the care and softness of a mother's love, and the other party wants to be a mother to take care of the other party and control the other party. Is it reasonable? Is it normal? Anyway, that's how human beings have been multiplying all the time! !
The male protagonist Lewis is really handsome. He is so old that he can still be so handsome that he is so handsome that he wants to treat him as a son. It really drives me crazy! ! This kind of British gentleman's temperament is really terrible! ! I really hope to see him perform again in the future.
The heroine has a unique charm, not a typical beauty, with rough skin, large pores and many fine lines on her face, but this is one of the reasons why European and American movies are popular. In my country, oh my god, only awl-faced actors can survive, tragedy! !

    I have watched a lot of perverted homicide dramas and various forensic toxicology documentaries. Then I can’t understand how touching the so-called love is from the perceptual level, especially as a man who understands the male protagonist’s various behaviors and psychology that wants to control his life. The audience can't help but hate the heroine, an ignorant and vicious mediocre who wants to selfishly drag the genius on the cloud down the quagmire and take it as his own. Two stars for costume and soundtrack.

    In the relationship, the cold and defensive people are actually children. A sadomasochistic story with the meaning of "one thing falls one thing", there is a deadly romance in the bones. I haven't watched PTA's romance movie for a long time, and I almost cried when faced with the passage of "seeking her a thousand times in the crowd". He has been expanding the boundary between people's feelings: after reaching a certain critical point, two people will not give in to each other, and only after breaking through do they become dependent on each other for a lifetime. So beautiful…

  • Alma: It's no business of ours what Mrs. Rose decides to do with her life but she can no longer behave like this and be dressed by the House of Woodcock.

  • Reynolds Woodcock: [to the vision of his mother] Are you here? Are you always here? I miss you. I think about you all the time. I hear your voice say my name when I dream and when I wake up, there are tears streaming down my face. I just miss you, it's as simple as that. I want to tell you everything. I don't understand what you're saying. I can't hear your voice.
