what are we looking at

Before watching the movie, many introductions said that although few people watched it, the average rating was high. As a film with a certain record nature, the SM-related factors are only for certain audience needs. If you watch this film for special interests, you will be disappointed.

Aside from the reality, if you look at the image of Dr. Maslow created by the movie. What kind of message will we get? A gentleman, educated, learned, who sacrificed his wives "men" for the science of so-called "pleasure". The Maslows started out consciously choosing someone they could control. Oliver was brought up by nuns from a young age, and at the same time has a strong rebellious bloodline. This contrast makes her more eager to pursue the "true self".

Finding the "true self" is also a certain value that the film wants to express. As long as you are happy, you don't care what the society thinks. If the society is not satisfied, I will create a new theory to explain that the society is wrong, and then use the help of media to spread propaganda. Let more and more people "discover" their essence.

However, it is against the background of such a self-conscious value, why did Oliver finally say that he was retained by Maslow in the name of "love" when he opened up a new space. Oliver may really be an obedient, and maybe he can really get happiness in obedience. But maybe not as good as the movie advertised.
