The secretary is more like a psychological film in a porn coat. The director delicately shows the psychological process of SM to ordinary people.
The female protagonist is M, and the male protagonist is S. Both are quasi-psychopaths. M has been admitted to the hospital for treatment, S has suppressed himself even more, and is still struggling in the normal world, and has achieved quite a lot. So in the film, M can see that there is a problem at a glance, and S needs to look a few more times to find it.
M's father is a very insightful person. He understands human nature and M. In the end, the words he came to read to M deeply touched M's heart. And M's mother is a less thoughtful person. She doesn't understand M at all, so her parents' souls are not at a high level. M's father probably often drinks and loses her temper because of this. This weakness in self-control makes him change from "victim" to "victim" Becoming a "violator", becoming a pitiful and hateful father in M's heart, this is the root cause of her heart disease.
The director estimates that SM is very common, and as long as there is a dominant one in the relationship between the sexes, it is possible to form this kind of psychological relationship. The director showed 3 paragraphs before and after to illustrate. The superficial line is the male and female protagonists, and it also hints that when the male protagonist's wife is with the male protagonist, the male protagonist should be the abused party, and the other is when the female protagonist is with Peter. The heroine is very assertive, the abusive Peter threw away all his panties, and didn't dare to touch her when he was still having sex. So what the male protagonist cares about in the laundry is the "sadistic" behavior of the female protagonist, which triggered a series of complex psychological reactions in him.
S is a typical virgin male, obsessive-compulsive and clean. There are always close-ups of his bed. What I am more impressed with is that in the end he ate dinner alone in the kitchen, and the blue storage bottles on the workbench were placed at the same distance; his red markers were neatly sized; After the famous episode, he also collapsed when there was dirt on his pants; his ex-wife stepped on his windbreaker to relieve his anger, just because he knew he couldn't stand it. This man pays attention to details, is meticulous, and should be a bit sinister. He can feel it from talking to people about business on the phone, so he does a good job as a lawyer.
In order to integrate into normal life, he habitually restrained himself, which made his behavior more complicated. He is sexually controlling and sadistic, (but why did he choose the character of his ex-wife to get married in the first place? I didn't understand this.) According to the character of his ex-wife, it can also be seen that he is sexually constant. period depressed.
Orchids belong to the Lamiaceae family, and the flower shape is a typical female metaphor. The male protagonist uses a needle to inject liquid into the heart of the flower, which shows that he enjoys this unnatural invasion method very much. In addition, the female M also imagines herself as an orchid when she is YY at home. Huaxin, waiting for S to come and hug. Male S placed the orchid in a place where the humidity, temperature, and light were very good. It was the kind of pet owner, who gave it from the top down, and the owner's mentality. So in the later episodes, as long as the heroine has the appearance of a small pet, it is his G-spot. For example, the first spanking is the last straw for the heroine to suck her nose.
It is also worth noting that there are many places in the film where the S male sits and pulls up and runs, which is his catharsis. S has a very fixed behavior pattern, he abuses his target object (both physically and mentally), the more painful the other party completes the task, the higher he will be, and then he will exercise to vent, and the YY process will be completed. He and other secretaries have generally cultivated this kind of tacit understanding: not seeing all the harsh abuses, finding faults and nitpicking, then peeping at the dark, then doing sports, and when the time is right, an advanced version of chicken soup for the soul, metaphysical Ambiguous YY sublime, and then take pictures. Looking back carefully at the point where the female M was photographed, the rhythm was controlled by the male S. I guess the average female secretary will be ambiguous for a while, and then get carried away and start trying to give themselves a little bit of initiative, or try to influence the rhythm of the male protagonist, the game over node is here, and the basic ending should be a big fight, a mess. ——From female M's first interview, with the camera on the day she was fired.
So where did the balance of this game start to be unbalanced? I think the introduction started when the male S found out that the female M had a masochistic tendency. The gamer is a new species and a masochist, so the game was completely revised. After taking pictures, The plot got out of control, the male protagonist couldn't hold it but he couldn't bear it. The last time he was particularly rude, he decided to game over. The plot of burning the photos means that female M still has a certain status in S's heart. Only by cutting off this pattern can S cut off M in one go, and all of this is for the sake of compromising and sacrificing self to a rational life. normal self. At this time, in the heart of the male protagonist, everything is still a game, and the main rhythm is still real life.
Female M is simple. She self-identifies that she is sick and admits that she cannot live a normal life, so basically she does not suppress herself. If she wants to be cowardly, she is cowardly. glow. So the theme of this film is actually that the strong self-identity of the female M saves the repressed self of the male S, so although the behavior is controlled and abusive by the male, the more important thing is that M makes S psychologically qualitative The difference, forcing him to identify with his perverted self. Therefore, the director arranged for female M to have a meaningful and firm look at the end of the film.
In conclusion, here is my understanding of the film.
Although the father of female M can understand her, she is not accepted by the world. The super good mother who is accepted by the world does not have the IQ to understand her. In this contradiction, she uses self-harm to ease her pain. She became a secretary in order to let herself live an uncomfortable life and a dull and boring life. As for male S, the goal is very clear, that is, to find a "sex game" partner, so he first cares about the secretary's love life. He repeatedly stressed that the work was very boring and monotonous, and he was assessing the masochism of this new partner. As soon as you come up, you will make things difficult, of course, the game will start. Then I found that the female M is different from ordinary people and very suitable for my taste. Although the male protagonist continues to follow the fixed script, he is also happy to experience the new taste. Since the two broke into the new script of "spanking" hand in hand, the situation began to get out of control. The female M should have been opened up by the male S. The world suddenly opened up and had a new goal. The theory and practice went hand in hand, and boldly sent A soft earthworm (of course a symbol of men) came to provoke and insult the sexual authority of male S, and hit the G-spot. Later, the male S felt that he was being controlled, so he forcibly broke up, and the female M was ignorant and fearless. The two ushered in the final battle. Seriously, the bet is on the heroine's life. The male protagonist found that the female protagonist's meticulousness in being abused was very in line with his aesthetic taste of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he began to struggle in rational life and self-acceptance. At this time, the director arranged for various people to wait in line to preach. In my opinion, it is an artistic and exaggerated form of expression, a witty alternative to narration, and a philosophical and ethical sublimation for the ending of the film. After the sublimation is paved, the male and female protagonists can borrow themselves down the slope.
In my opinion, this film does not emphasize spiritual love very much. The hero and heroine end up together because they put the cornerstone of their marriage on sexual harmony. However, it is too difficult for a person with such a twisted and perverted mind to require harmony and spiritual unity. Since libido was released normally, the male protagonist has relaxed his body language and opened his body a lot, so the power of sex in marriage cannot be ignored.
There is another detail I want to mention. When the other secretaries are on duty, flowers are placed in the corridor, and the two of them have sex toys (wrong letters) in the corridor when the heroine is prosperous.
In addition, I finally understand this kind of SM, the process of abuse is actually foreplay. . . So in the end, the two of them had foreplay for 3 days, and the interest brought by the theme of foreplay was also unprecedented (a desperate hunger strike). Although the last climax scene was cut, I could also predict that the two of them were at the peak of their emotions. So I was fascinated by this film. .
