The name of "Beauty in the Day" is quite meaningful. The heroine can only pick up guests during the day, but she is beautiful and unparalleled. It is to make everyone's nightmares or desires known to the world, there is nothing shameful, and a dream is not ashamed. I read a lot of film reviews, saying that this film is a mockery of the hypocrisy, emptiness, and depression of the bourgeoisie, or that a lady is also a masochist who complains about a woman. Looking in detail and looking wide, it doesn't seem to refer to a certain class. The subtle twists and turns in everyone's heart and weirdness seem to have been illuminated by searchlights all over the place, making people understand in doubt and laugh. relieved. I believe that those who are willing to ponder and ponder more here can make themselves like the husband at the end, have more hope of restoring the light, and also have the interest to push away the wheelchair, stand up, and wander around.
The heroine seems to have masochistic desire, but where does this desire come from? Although there is no explicit reference in the film, you can know a thing or two from her life status, flashbacks of past memories and dreams. Of course, you can say that her life is too dull and boring, her husband is busy with work, although he is very considerate and considerate to her, he speaks sweet words every day, loves you more and needs you more every day, gives gifts, and goes on vacation, but quite Empty, there is little sharing and resonance between the two, even if the wife is not able to have skin-to-skin relationship, whether she is happy, or has any troubles, she does not pay attention to it. Even with superficial affection and intimacy. From the heroine's tough and defensive attitude towards other men, it can also be seen that she has some kind of wariness and hostility towards men. Showing favor to the opposite sex is also cold-faced, as if being seriously offended. From the flashback memories, she seems to have been molested by a plumber. I don't know if she has always been ashamed of it, thinking that she is unclean, guilty, and a slut, and thus planted suspicion and hatred for men. . Her husband's gentleness is not an antidote to her. From the first dream, her demonization of her husband shows the hidden worries in her heart. She is afraid that her own inability to get close will make her husband lose his patience with her and abandon her. Such as walking. It seems that the more kind her husband is, the more disturbed she is, because such a person can never accept any blemishes on her, let alone some "perverted" fantasies and cravings that are spurned by the world.
Inexplicably going to a brothel to experience life, or for sexual liberation, why this is the case, the heroine is also unclear, saying that it is difficult to resist and extricate herself. Perhaps it was the heroine's trauma, the actual crisis in life, that forced her to face the unfinished event she most wanted to escape as soon as possible, being subject to men, humiliated and enslaved by men. For traumatized people who haven't dealt with it properly, this kind of spookiness can be explained. They will inadvertently expose themselves to situations similar to those in the past, through repetition, expecting a different ending, and groping for different responses. , allowing himself to regain control in the process, and at the same time confirming that the tragic past will never happen again, and that he has the power to protect himself. The engulfing experience of the past will be repeated again and again, showing a clearer and clearer face, what happened, the role I played in it, what I felt and thought at that time, in addition, it will gradually pull away from the past. As soon as there is a sign, you will be afraid of the recurrence of yesterday, and you will completely lose the ability to rationally distinguish and distinguish.
This may be a factor. The impasse in the relationship with her husband is the second. Third, abuse is also a way of atonement. Those who admit their sins are heavy, they are a burden, and they bring shame to others. They can feel some kind of purification in the abuse, suffer, and humble themselves, as if they are guilty of their own sins. The feeling can be alleviated. Of course, it can also be said that abuse corresponds to a peaceful life, the relationship between people is not salty, not bland, not tepid, even just relying on the politeness of thousands of people to support it weakly. If such a relationship does not exist, it will add to boredom and desolation, but masochism is a kind of deep passion and fiery bondage. In the collision and struggle, it seems that I have never felt my own existence before. The relationship is close and strong. This isn't to glorify masochism, but to some, it's like a rite of passage.
The hostess involuntarily goes to the brothel, and there may be other incentives as well. For example, the double life of an upper-class woman circulated among friends has a splendid side and is also listed in a brothel, but her gestures are generous and calm, and she does not hide it. Some people say it is purely for money, while others think it is People do their best to humiliate themselves, but some men find such people attractive and mysterious. The husband, when asked, also seemed to cryptically mention the "influence" prostitutes had over their men, either obsessed or distracted. Perhaps under the arrogant and glamorous appearance of the heroine, she is filled with doubts about her attractiveness, as well as her powerlessness, guilt and timidity about the relationship between the sexes. In the male description, the brothel is somewhat dreamy.
The change of the husband in the heroine's dream is also quite clever. From the unsettled and ruthless "tyrant" at the beginning, to helping outsiders humiliate her, throwing mud at her, to turning a blind eye to her coddling with others, deceiving herself, to finally sharing with friends in public Shoot a duel to save her from fire and water. From a superficial point of view, it seems that the heroine has trust in her husband, no longer has any loyalty to him or her disposition, and is suspicious. But it is also like a wish, that is, I hope that my husband can have more strength and toughness. If you have any dissatisfaction or dislike, you can openly and honestly talk about it, always calming things down, putting peace as the most precious thing, and coaxing children. She, on the contrary, made the heroine even more unpredictable. I don't know if the anger has been suppressed, something is brewing and plotting secretly, which will make the heroine be at a loss in a way that will explode at one point. Like in a brothel, there are men who are jealous for her, want to see her all day long, care about whether she is bothered by anyone, stand up for her and protect her, all of which make her feel a certain kind of care, and these are what she hopes her husband can do. did it.
Of course, the dream can also be reversed. In the beginning, the husband is so "ugly", it may also be because the heroine has hidden anger towards her husband. Maybe she's had enough. He only has words of affection, but no action. He is more focused on work. She is like a vase for showing off, a tool for showing affection. The more perfect he is, the more he appears She is riddled with holes. Perhaps more or less, she also wanted to abuse her husband, so going to a brothel to pick up customers was a kind of venting of anger and revenge. In the end, her husband was confined to a wheelchair and depended on her to take care of everything. Isn't it the ultimate harsh punishment?
Many people don't understand the change of the heroine. How can I go to a brothel and have energy instead? Is this the magic of sex? Of course, at first, the heroine was ashamed of sex and suppressed her desires. Perhaps she had been molested by strangers, and she had put a lot of shackles on her sexual consciousness. In addition, her understanding of sex will be distorted because of this. Sex seems to be a dirty thing that is not what you want, not a beautiful thing between people who love each other. It can warm up the relationship and make the distance disappear. People who have had this kind of trauma often can't tell the difference, the desire is reasonable and normal, and they can say no to those who don't like it. They will be ashamed when they have a desire because of a wrong person in the past. Sex has a role for the heroine, which allows her to allow her desires without judging, reject people she doesn't like, and have sex with people she likes.
In addition, the guests that the heroine met also had a certain amount of credit. Of course, it is not that they abused her to help her, but they are all "eccentric" people, all people with status and status, but they are all difficult There are even some heinous bad tastes, whether it is a gynecologist who loves being trampled and devastated by the queen, or a duke who pretends to be a dead body to mourn and mourn the highness of the duke, to a certain extent, let her realize that everyone is unknown. The side of them, even disgusting and ugly, is only a part of them. Maybe this made her let go of some unbearable past events, and also allowed the ghosts and sprites on her body who were showing their claws and grinning. Many people say that the reckless boy is the heroine's true love. It seems that they are equal, talking about scars and birthmarks, caring about each other's life, whether they are free, wanting to know each other, and getting closer, but this kind of intimacy, in the end, It still slipped into monopoly, which also made the heroine leave the brothel in a hurry. Maybe she vaguely sensed the danger of hot love.
In the end, did the hostess and her husband reconcile? Did you live a happy life together? Is this the heroine's dream, or is it reality? Husband's friend, tell my husband the whole story, he will really forgive the heroine, and think that I am disabled, and you betrayed me, we are even, I don't have to worry anymore, I drag you down, cause you trouble , you and I have missed, have been stupid, have been incomplete, this is the best reason we can be together. I don't know if this tells the true meaning of love? The husband was in tears, the heroine stopped dreaming, and they all understood what was most precious to them? I hope so.
