The first time I read Kafka’s novel, it was no less than reading a book. I was bored and bored and almost fell asleep, but I remembered his short "The Metamorphosis". The hero almost started from it. My attention began to tilt from romance and reality to "perverted" modern psychological works, which strengthened Gregor, Mersault, Rashomon, and Mrs. Dalloway, waiting Godot, Prufrock who sings love songs. I was addicted to it for a while and couldn't extricate myself. Until later, I was horrified and confused. I couldn't sleep at night, so I stopped watching it again.
This loss has been two years. I wasted two years.
But no matter how I turn a blind eye, there is still no way to avoid this modernist category. Seeing it, I am like a regular customer of pimps, no longer flushed, and when I mention it, I am like a long-lost old friend, telling me how to miss it.
Looking at "Naked Lunch" again, I almost forgot the word "alienation". I wore a waistcoat woven by Benshan Dandan. I never got out. I thought it was a part of my body. A crawling beetle or a gray spider busy weaving a web.
Here is as always crazy and magic, ugly and pale. The printer turns into a beetle, and the beetle turns into a sex changer. Butt can talk, anus wants to take drugs. White powder turns yellow powder, yellow powder turns black powder. Couples play games, the game proves.
Then use rationality to deconstruct and morality to observe, and what you see is a white horse is not a horse.
But deconstruction and observation have always been behaviors that people are passionate about, and they are also the show off of other animals. Since the slogan of knowing oneself, everyone is diligently seeking nothing more than exploring themselves and ignorance outside of themselves. I did not focus on the director, actor, screenwriter, or technique, I just recorded a little movie-watching experience with sporadic and trivial passages.
Women's subordinate status: A brief introduction, the concrete morality and sense of justice Fadela turned out to be just a Benway dressed in human skin, surrounded by Benway is a confession lover, is a group of living defenders. Lee's wife, Joan, is even more insignificant, repeating the same death twice insensibly.
Male dominance: Under the dual planning of knowledge (insecticide powder, centipede powder) and power (tradition and morality), Benway has become a sign and weather vane for control and paralysis of consciousness. It is the little people who make people sweat and gather. Around him, willing to become his lover and servant, greedily sucking the semen from the typewriter, and the typewriter, as the endorsement of knowledge and civilization, is actually singing praises for the rights groups, seeking benefits, and is their slave.
The reality of marginal consciousness and subconsciousness: With the help of drugs, Interzone is peeled layer by layer, and the secret of the dense land is finally exposed. It is yellow and black. If you catch the truth, you are a good fan. There is no brilliance to reason here, and the conclusions drawn by rational thinking are without exception untenable. Only with the catalysis of the paralyzing yellow and black powder, we can see Lee’s homosexuality one by one, and the combination of Fadela and Benway is one. The foolish nature of Midi and so on.
The truth and illusion of art and the inner world: a writer who has a home cannot be a writer; a writer is a homeless wanderer, a lonely endorsement, and an illusory addict. The game in the film is just the external representation of the subconscious mind, the true inner thoughts, "kill the angel in the house", Lee can take the typewriter and become a writer. The movie itself is also a child of intercourse between reality and illusion: the person is in it, and the body is outside, which is specious and really mysterious.
The universal existence of alienation: horizontal alienation is the variation of different species, and vertical alienation is the variation within the individual. The people in the film are all abnormal, homosexual, sexually perverted, and hypersensitive. When everyone is "abnormal", everyone is "normal". When everyone alienates, alienation immediately becomes the norm of survival.
Realistic significance: Since no one can escape alienation and control, naturally there is no need to make a fuss and yell. The so-called world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not ancient, but it is just a glorious trumpet of self; the so-called mountains and flowing waters and peach blossoms are nothing but the stubborn escape of self; and the so-called lofty and prosperous virtues are nothing but the precious skin of the self.
The thought and depth of the film is far more than that, I can only dig into it on the basis of my own understanding.
