In fact, most of the organizations labeled as cults were recognized by society and officials in the early days. The more typical ones are the organizations that promote truth, goodness and beauty in China and the Aum Shinrikyo in Japan. ", brainwashing, reactionary, and taking advantage of ordinary people in the name of gods, in the final analysis, it's just a group of vulnerable people meeting a group of salesmen.
If you are a Japanese or interested in religion, the name Shoko Asahara will not be unfamiliar. The founder of Aum Shinrikyo created the Tokyo subway gas incident that shocked the world in 1995, killing 13 people. Killed and injured more than 5,510 people. But to this day, his death sentence has not been carried out. The variant church of Aum Shinrikyo is still active today.
Shoko Asahara was originally just a businessman selling medicines. This man with a low degree of education could have been the leader of the biggest cult in Japan. In addition to his mysterious propaganda, this is also inseparable from the general environment of Japan. Japan's love for religion can be It is said that it is sought after by the whole country. In addition to the three traditional sects, many "new religions" have been created in modern times, especially after World War II. Fumika Shimizu, the famous orphan actress who was hyped up not long ago, has joined the new religion "Science of Happiness". These religious organizations, big and small, are intertwined in the crowd, in the family, and you don't know that the person you meet on the road may be a person. devout religious.
Many celebrities have been brainwashed by cults. The soul of the Beatles, John Winston Lennon, Toshi, the frontman of X-Japan, art and religion are like a pair born to attract each other. One day the two will fall in love with each other.
Yuan Ziwen was also recruited.
I'm not surprised that this unconventional director has joined a cult. Throughout all his films, religion is an integral part of "Icy Tropical Fish", "Mystery Circus", "Kiko's" "The Dining Table" and so on are all blood + religion + sex = Sonoko Wen, the director's paranoia about sex and religion is as persistent as a child who must eat candy. Some people say that no one can take bloody and pornographic pictures like him. Dazzling but not vulgar.
"Love Exposure" is the representative work of Sonoko Wen's bloody love. In the 4-hour film, the director satisfies the interests of all kinds of eccentric hobbyists, such as voyeurism, candid photography, sexual liberation, religious brainwashing, transvestite, sexual abuse, etc. There are all kinds of tastes, a priest who is controlled by desire, a son who candidly photographed a girl's panties, a dissolute and glamorous stepmother, a girl who hates men, and a girl who is a cult leader. We can all classify them into one word: pervert.
After watching the 4-hour plot, you suddenly realize that this is actually a heroic story of salvation. The director said that it was adapted from a real case. In fact, it was the brother who loved to take pictures secretly to save a family controlled by a cult. In the end, the bad guy died, and the brothers and sisters reunited and fell in love with each other.
How to structure the plot of a Japanese drama without making people feel bored, rich plot is a necessary factor, although the themes involved in the movie are overwhelmed, the director cleverly uses the key plot of "love" to connect each other, brother Yu has been looking for since he was a child My own "Maria", my sister Yoko lacks love but longs for love, and a couple is tortured by love. In the promotion of the movie, "Ultimate Pure Love" is used, and despite the heavy taste coat, it is actually as pure as boiled egg whites.
As atheists, many people do not understand what magic power God or Allah has to control the soul of a person, and sex, which is a primitive impulse, has stood on the opposite side of piety from the very beginning. In the film, You's father, Zhe, is a "piety" The priest, until he met the debauched Xun, one could not be without sex, one was repressed, there was no reason to separate them, and once again the viper defeated Jesus.
Yoko and Guchi are like a pair of twin flowers. They have too many similar experiences. When they were violated by their father in their childhood, they hated men, were violent and paranoid, and were ignorant but simple in love. The difference is that Guchi is more desperate, and Yoko hates men. , but fell in love at first sight with the woman's brother who accidentally hit "Zuo Su Li", Gu Chi fell in love with Yu, but expressed it in a more extreme way - ruined him, she eavesdropped on his family, tried to integrate Their lives, control them step by step, because she believes that Yu, like her, is a person with original sin. Let him be herself, which is her expression of love.
Xiu in "All About Lily Zhou" also used a similar technique to his beloved girl, Yoko. The more beautiful things are, the more they want to destroy it. This is their poor expression of love.
Confession is a religious ritual. A broken-hearted father forced his son to repent every day, but Yu had no choice but to keep making mistakes to deal with it, until he developed the habit of taking pictures secretly. , but his father, he is very happy to have his father's attention, Yu has a deformed love for his father, and making mistakes to get his attention is something we only do when we are young, and in Yuanzi Wen In the movies, we often see parents with imperfect personalities. The father who sexually abused his daughter in "Mystery Circus" can find similar roles in most of the director's films. In other words, the father in Sono Ziwen's film It is the incarnation of Zeus and the beast, and the mother is a puppet controlled by lust and violence.
The girl Guchi is a key figure. She does not belong to this family, but she wants to destroy (or transform) them. She has a virtuous Christian father, but she was violated by him since she was a child, causing her to fear and stab the man who loves her. He died. After returning from the juvenile center, he found that the devil's father was paralyzed by a stroke. Guchi, who was mentally distorted, broke his genitals. The girl found that she had never been at ease. She was liberated and was no longer afraid. Why didn't Guchi directly kill her father? , I think this is still a bit entangled with family love, even if Gu Chi has despaired of love, but the bondage of family love cannot completely free her, which is why she felt helpless when she saw Yu alone saving Yoko, and committed suicide.
Japan's bad taste is as famous as its comics. There is always infinite reverie for girls. Yu in the play is a candid camera lover. At first, this bad taste was just a trick to deal with repentance, and he was not obsessed with it. In fact, In the end, Yoo is no different from an adolescent boy in terms of personality. In "The Summer Palace", the heroine has a monologue that fits the occasion, "There is a kind of thing that will suddenly strike on a summer night and linger. , elusive. I don't know what to call it, maybe it's love." The love that Yu and Yoko were looking for came true in a dislocated way, 91 minutes and 25 seconds, the last second of the miracle, Yu Seeing Yoko getting an erection by the panties blown by the wind, he found that he finally found his Maria. This was his first erection, which also caused him to react only when he saw Yoko's panties. The hormones were like Galloping like a storm, Yuu had the excitement for Yoko that we were ashamed to meet in our teenage years.
Fortunately, Yoko finally came to her senses. She knew that Yoo had good intentions, but Yoo was insane and went to the hospital. He dressed up as Sasori, the one Yoko once loved, and his Maria was broken. In the end, Yoko finds him, wakes him up, and the story really makes one cry.
In the play, the director used Yoko's mouth to express his ultimate meditation on love, at that time, the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians, his favorite "Bible".
If I can speak the tongues of all men and the words of angels, but have no love, I will be like a ringing gong and a ringing cymbal.
If I have the ability to prophesy, and know all mysteries, all knowledge, and all the faith that I can move mountains, but have no love, I am nothing.
If I give all I have to the poor and give myself to be burned, but have no love, it will still be of no use to me.
Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy, love does not boast, is not arrogant, does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not reckon wrong, does not rejoice in
iniquity, but only rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things;
love never fails. The power of prophecy will eventually cease to exist; the power of speaking in tongues will eventually cease; and knowledge will eventually cease to exist.
What we know now is limited, and what the prophets have spoken is limited,
and when the perfect comes, this limited will be gone.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, thought like a child, and thought like a child; when I became a man, I forsook child things.
We now seem to be looking in a mirror, blurry.
Until then, face to face. What I know now is limited, and then I will know it all, as the Lord knows me.
Now there is faith, hope, and love. Of these three, the greatest of them is love.
