I watched it for the first time in April 2014. At that time, it was purely out of curiosity about sex. After reading it, I only felt that the ending was a great irony. Anyone can be addicted, even an old man who only knows how to quote scriptures, so Joe gave A shot at him will deny all hope of this society, oh! This director is anti-human, so cool.
However, after reading it today, I realized that I was completely wrong. How superficial the way of satirizing society and dropping the book bag is, how can Lars von Trier stop there?
When I rewatched it, I kept observing how this old virgin, who I thought was dirty, concealed his desires, or how he transformed from no desire to the end, but there was nothing in the whole process, only the knowledge he rambled about, cumbersome And there is no theme, only to connect with Joe's story. In the end, I was completely wrong. It was not until the end that I realized how well-intentioned this "happy person" was. He was really Joe's friend. He sacrificed himself to keep Joe alive.
Not only listening to Joe from the most objective point of view, but as the first time I saw it, I felt that it was constantly dropping the book bag and playing with the language, but he was really thinking. From his final summary to Joe, we can see that Joe bears the burden of The pressure that too many women have, which makes her lonely and has to turn into a man to resist, the traces that men leave in her body and memory, she uses them as a shield for her defense and a whip as a weapon, reacting In a man, however, the female sensibility in her heart is resisting herself, which leads to the failure of the final revenge.
Then Joe began to look forward to the future, hoping that he could get rid of sex addiction, just like the tree he found. The best part is Sigman's few back shots, which are so well-executed, subtle and precise.
So he said goodbye to Joe, standing in front of the door hesitating when he parted, why? Because if she shot and killed the person who could really cut off her thoughts at the time, she might have let it go, but it didn't work out. Whenever something related to the past happens in the future, the addiction will come back at any time, just like the mirror chapter. , what the psychiatrist said was right, but there was a fake success for Joe, she thought it was right to be herself, but what sex actually brought her was only constant damage, both physically and spiritually.
So the sacrifice he made later was forcing Joe to grow up. The reason was not revealed, but through the process of their dialogue, the mood has been rising. It was a very friendly relationship. It can only be said that this lonely old man Men are so loving. When he took off his pants, there was no sexual desire on his face, only panic, but the first time I saw it, I thought it was the panic that Joe would wake up, but it was actually the face of the inevitable death. The performance is also very good, the incomprehensible expression flows out a lot of space for people to imagine, once you think wrong, everything is wrong.
When you say why he likes to drop his book bag so much, you are covering up this person's true emotions! So much so that in the end, it may be unclear what this character is like, advanced! ! !
Therefore, Lars Von Trier cannot be a cold-blooded and ruthless person. The characters in his works are all sympathetic, that is, with love, but his methods are so obscure and advanced that it is easy to make people unable to The perceiving person associates with the opposite, ah! He is truly a genius, showing sin directly, but the person who possesses sin cannot represent sin itself, his works are full of love! I love him, he was shortlisted in my Top 3.
