Seeing such a movie, I think it is based on an exaggerated version of life. A woman who has been harmed by a man's rejection, resistance, and fear of men is magnified to the extreme. What the heroine doesn't see is that she doesn't long for intimacy, otherwise she will not approach the boy who pursues her, and wants to try to accept his date. But in any case, standing not far from the door, there was no way or no way to go in for the appointment. She once wanted to try to kiss a boy, but when it really happened, she inexplicably thought that this kind of physical intimacy scared her, and at the same time felt extremely dirty.

She is very beautiful, so her elders violated her when she was a child; men who saw her wanted to lick her. She also couldn't tell who was the real and who was the fake; everything around was negative news about intimacy, her sister was in trouble with a married man, and her colleague was let down by her boyfriend. The boys in the pub also preached inferences about the sexes. Only the boy who likes her is sincere, but she is too scared. Every night, she experiences rape and defensive hallucinations and visual hallucinations. So that when the boy said to her, I want to be with you, I want to be with you forever. She picked up the copper lampstand in horror and slammed it into the back of the boy's head...

The heroine is going to collapse step by step. It's scary. If so, it might look uglier and feel more secure. It is also a way of self-protection. Beautiful as a heroine, she will find that she will be coveted when she walks on the road.

It's like the rotted rabbit on the plate in the play. This weak woman is as gentle as a rabbit, men are like beasts, like the lingering flies... She yearns for intimacy, but she can hardly suppress intimacy, so when the men get closer, she sees this as plunder and encroachment , Hit back fiercely.

A more sentimental one. Maybe there are not so many men who respect women in this era. Fifty-five years have passed, and there are more and more demons and ghosts who want to push women at any time. But time will still prove the characteristics and nature of some people. Many men still maintain a friendly distance and respect for women. Whether it is acting as a suitor or a lover, or as a friend, it is still just right and commendable. After all, everyone's quality is really high and low.

In fact, in my heart, it is absolutely impossible to accept a frivolous man near me. Most of them behaved a little abnormally, maybe they were deleted, or they would fall into infinite silence.

It is recommended that every male friend will also watch one.

A heavily repressed psychiatric movie? When a person finally collapses, he can't see the chaos of the material world, and it is hard to distinguish reality from illusion.
