The trailer fooled me into thinking it was a bizarre romance movie, but it's not as simple as a romance movie, it leads to a fantastical thriller journey with an uncomfortable and unreasonable character. It's like opening Pandora's Box.
Tina is an airport security inspector with little confidence. She is born with an extraordinary "smell" but looks ugly and different from ordinary people. She has been in a lonely state of doubting her self-recognition for a long time. She is uncertain about her past and life experience. It seems to others and even the audience that she has too many unsolved mysteries. One day, she met Vore who was similar to her...
In my opinion, the special relationship between Tina and Vore has created an extraordinary relationship between the two, but it is not entirely love or heterosexual attraction, but because Tina has never met people of the same ethnic group, so in Vore When she felt the same, she regarded the other party as an opportunity to re-understand herself, a mirror of self-cognition. This "empathy effect" prompts Tina to quickly let go of Vore and start a fierce love affair.
Another possibility is "smell". Tina can smell the psyche of crime, and can sense changes in mood, so the first or second time she sees Vore, she can probably tell that she might be attracted to him.
After the hero and heroine (?) fall in love, the plot develops in the direction of suspense and thriller, with countless doubts and weirdness happening one by one... Tina has always been tasteless to normal food, and under Vore's leadership, she also began to enjoy insects The delicacy of the animal; the interaction with other beast animals also seems to show their extraordinary animality; and the baby cases intertwined in the emotional line, constantly introducing new small climaxes. The smell of crime is hidden in the forest, and the people around her are also deceived by lies. Tina begins to shake her true identity and be confused in the choice between good and evil.
The film does not show too much of Vore's background story, but locks the audience with Tina, allowing us to project our own state of mind on her, to doubt, think and change together with her. In the weird atmosphere created by the whole film, the protagonists jokingly call themselves "monsters", but they are more than the non-human creatures in works such as "Underwater Love" or "Wolfman", whether it is a change in thinking mode or mood. It looks like a human being; but it is precisely because of maintaining a high intelligence like a human being that it is possible to become even more evil than a human being.
I have no evidence, just trying to guess, in terms of character setting, are they, who are regarded as strange creatures in "Border Tales", reflecting the situation of the Jewish race or other Nordic peoples in the real world? The same human beings are not treated as human beings, their natural advantages cannot be valued and respected (Jews have a higher IQ than ordinary people), they are excluded from mainstream society, and they are brutally persecuted.
At the beginning of human beings, is nature inherently good or inherently evil? Exactly how the story will go in the end, and what choices the heroine will make is up to the audience to explore on their own; it's just that the eerie and grotesque feeling after watching the movie has been accompanied by a long time, perhaps because human beings have too narrow a definition of beauty.
Btw the setting of mating and unfertilized eggs...so weird and creative.
