Why can't Yuanyuan be so S but unable to satisfy his ultimate desire for M?
Obviously use a hook to hoist Suzuki to pour hot oil, and obviously use a steel needle to pierce the face of Ghana, which can obviously split the enemy's Ding Ding...
If it's just pain, Yuanyuan is completely self-sufficient.
What Yuanyuan pursues is not extreme pain, but a psychological state, where he is on the verge of despair. That's why he said that Karen, who was violently attacking him with a finger, said: "There is no emotion in your violence."
"Listen, when you hit a person, don't think about how painful he is. You just have to enjoy the happiness when you give him pain. That's the way to sympathize with him."
The horses are afraid of Yuanyuan, because Yuanyuan’s punishment will always break through the limits of self-bearance and expectations; Yuanyuan is infatuated with the killer Ayi, because Ayi can break Yakihara’s expectations of all S and accomplish what Ansheng boss can’t do: Kill yourself. As repeatedly conveyed in movies and comics, there can be no struggle within the gang. So it’s impossible for Boss An Sheng to kill Yuanyuan. Boss An Sheng is here to symbolize the existence of order in the most “subverting order (black society)”.
"For me, SM is not a game, it's life."
This is also the essential reason why Yuanyuan is unable to satisfy himself. Pain and control are a kind of scarce resource. Yuanyuan is unable to split his personality and consciousness. To satisfy the self-satisfaction of the rolling cycle of S and M, everything happens in self-anticipation. Just like the perpetual motion machine model doomed to fail-after all, it must observe the conservation of energy.
In the film adaptation, I was impressed by Takashi Miike, not to mention his use and control of the language of the film, which created the violent aesthetics and heterogeneous beauty of Japan. Based on Hideo Yamamoto's manga, I made a bold adaptation at the end. , And finally become the sublimation of the whole play.
In the ending of the comic, Uncle Aichi controls Aichi and Gakihara to meet in the corridor of the apartment. Aichi kills Kaneko and attacks Gakihara when he tears himself up and hatred. However, Yuanyuan understood the "inevitability" that Uncle A said, but was finally driven to extinction by A Yi. When he clung to the railing with one finger, he was killed by a crow throwing bird droppings from the building. Although such an ending has made certain discussions on the "manual manipulation", "inevitability" and "accident" of destiny, he cannot complete the arc of Yuanyuan character: he can only passively carry the destiny arranged for him by the "pursuing" uncle. In the end Disillusionment of dreams due to unreliable factors.
At the end of the movie, I was very impressed.
The first is to slightly change the characters in the comics that are more contrary to the character settings. Uncle Kanegi gave the good man Kaneko a amulet of A Yi’s "brother". This artificial arrangement led to the final collapse of Yi Yi and the sublimation of Yuan Yuan.
In Yuanyuan's eyes, Ah Yi killed Kaneko's son Xiaowu, and forced himself into a desperate situation. He stabbed down with a knife, cut his forehead, and fell to his death in the ultimate pleasure of being "killed."
However, when Auntie looked at Gakihara's corpse, there was no scar left on his forehead. Gakihara had completed the split of himself, the split between fantasy and reality, and the split between desire and practice. This is the ultimate desire, the unity of Yuanyuan's desire to survive and the desire to death, the split and separation of the spiritual self, and finally the return and unity of the split dual contradiction, and death in this extreme.
"This is a love story. In the end, you will find that Ayi is a tool, a tool for Auntie to satisfy his lover's masochistic desire. At the end of the film, the real passion bursts out between Auntie and Yuanyuan." So Miike Takashi said.
Let’s just talk about sorrow for the strong words. After the film's opening movie, Uncle sent A to kill the brother Ansheng, he went to collect the corpse, sitting on the ground and staring at the killed Ansheng boss, as if he had completed the role and position conversion—to take over the position of Ansheng boss. , Do for him what he can't satisfy Yuanyuan. The first step in replacement is subversion.
One is a tool used to satisfy Yuanyuan, a tool polished by Uncle himself. When Yuanyuan's deputy asked Uncle: "Where is Ah Yi! Let him come out and do it with me!", Uncle only said: "You are not worthy."
What Uncle A is doing is to subvert the non-ordered order (the underworld), and to subvert the entire Shinjuku that is flooded with desires, control plans, plot the layout, and establish a new "order" existence.
At this point, it has become clear that the true meaning of S and M does not lie in the application or endurance of pain. For M, the uncontrollable psychological expectation is broken; for S, it is the occurrence of "inevitability" under control.
Perhaps the same applies to the migration into life, and the two separate contradictions of the self are constantly drifting away or converging, although they are not unified, they are shining enough.
Just like director Takashi Miike’s first time to buy Hideo Yamamoto’s "Killer Aichi" at a photocopying shop, he felt:
"Why is this annoying atmosphere suddenly coming? It smells the same as rust. It feels like many years ago, I was in the back alley of a shopping mall and bought a phone card from a pretty sturdy Iranian. Sell contraband. Buy contraband. See contraband. Smelled "illegal"-yes, it was the smell of crime and dirty corners. 』
Rather, the art of SM is about subverting, subverting expectations, subverting order, and also subverting chaos.
