Although the heroine Lei will "sex" at any time, regardless of the occasion and time, she undresses and straddles the man or is pressed by the man, but it is not simply because of too strong desire or pure enjoyment. The reason is actually easy to think of. It is nothing more than "remember the dream of my youth", a lingering nightmare of abuse and abuse. The freedom of debauchery was not as casual as she had imagined. An unintentional ridicule caused a serious beating of a man who was seriously frustrated and watched her mess around and was somewhat jealous, and was abandoned in the "corpse" wilderness.
Fortunately, an old black farmer named Raz lived next to him. This gentleman had just experienced the betrayal of his wife and brother, and suddenly encountered a "witch" who woke up and opened her legs to welcome a man. She was scared to pick up the Bible and seize the door. Out. But at the same time, he also ignited the belief in re-proving the power of God, no matter what method he uses, he must drive out the sin in the woman's heart. He tied her pretty waist with an iron chain.
The iron chain is not for "cultivating desire", but for abstinence. So unlike other bundled films, there is no desire for this one between the old and the young. Without desire, or stern or tender concern, it appears sincere and direct. Without desire, not only can I see the absurdity on the surface, but also the pain in my heart. Raz is a devout believer, but when sin happened to him and around him, he did not see God's deeds, punishment or comfort. Of course, he did not give up his faith, but whether it is to cheer himself up or help others, he needs his own tenacity and hard work more.
What is the power to heal heartache or really overcome "evil"? Belief? Faith can only make people confused sometimes. The iron chain that symbolizes the bondage of external forces? A body that has been tied for a while can't be tied to an eternal heart. In the film, Bruce is the most powerful. Music eliminates Raz's hatred due to deception and betrayal, and accompanies his belated loneliness. Music allows Lei to resist the terrible nightmare in her heart and obtain that rare peace. Music works even for the most useless little husband.
Christina Richie, who plays Lei, would be difficult to recognize at a glance if she didn't read the introduction beforehand. Big eyes are absent, thin and scary, there are often scars after beatings on his face, typical double injuries of mind and body. Moreover, the clothes don't avoid the body, and he often runs around wearing shorts. It can be said that he has worked hard for this role. Samuel Jackson, who plays Raz, can now be seen in large and small films, commercial art, and although it is complicated, no matter what the role is, he will have a unique taste. It's not too much to call him an old drama (it doesn't seem to be too old, hehe). There is also his wonderful blues performance in the movie.
The film has a lot of gimmicks, but it is the tension and performance of the two protagonists that prop up the film and make it not boring and vulgar. The conflicts and influences of simplicity and kindness and debauchery and pitifulness, coupled with the music that tears the mood and even the soul, are worthy of recollection.
