Although Alingpo is still very healthy, she has reached the age to go up the mountain. She casually told Chen Ping about going up the mountain and used his father's escape to stimulate him. In the days of extreme poverty, the instinct to survive and reproduce some animals surpassed everything else. The child was surprised when the dying mother recovered, and the first question she asked was, "Is it not dead yet?" The old man was also used to it. Going up the mountain and waiting for death is the rule, sympathy is useless, A Ling has taught Chen Ping like this.
Chen Ping's house filling, A Yu, came to the door herself. Her strong body made A Ling Po very satisfied. Women are no longer the embodiment of beauty here. They represent reproduction, and it is their mission to breed the next generation. They will be better bred. Work like a man without any gender differences.
The moths were mating, and the stench of lust and death permeated everywhere.
Po A Ling knocked out her good tooth, and the director did not deliberately render this scene, A Ling Po calmly knocked out her teeth, rinsed her mouth calmly, and told others not to speak out. Everything is so nonchalant, as it should be.
Isuke, who peeped at Chenping and Ayu's entanglement, actually had sex with a dog in order to release his temporary desire. Whether there is no choice or do not want to choose, we are horrified, but Isuke's expression is complacent, and the original desire is exposed without any modification. Morality, ethics, and even natural laws have no binding force in front of human beings, and they even doubt whether there is a difference between humans and dogs, or it can be said that humans and animals are no different from the beginning. It is just that human beings who have no worries about food and clothing begin to use some sanctimonious expressions to come from them. I am bound. But when even survival is a problem, everything will return to the original.
In Nagisa Oshima's 1986 movie "Max, My Love", there was also a rebellious and almost terrifying human-animal love, but the orangutan here is the heroine's sustenance after the emotional emptiness, and finally returned to the relationship with her husband. Oshima Nagisa seems to be an alternative, but in fact it is still within the acceptable range of human beings, and Imamura Changhei put on the scene of human-dog intercourse so naturally and smoothly, without any foreshadowing, and without any following, it seems to be normal. Can be carried smoothly. Including Ah Ling Po's teeth knocking, something completely unbelievable happened to us now.
The praying mantis was eating her partner, and A Lingpo didn't dislike Isuke. After all, she was her own child, and there seemed to be a difference between humans and animals.
The "tradition" of Assong's stealing was condemned by the whole village, and they even had to be put on trial. Asong was already married to Chaoji, so the villagers came to Chenping to imply that he should not be soft-hearted, and even moved out of his father. Li Ping, who had the courage to send the old man up the mountain. This is a shame to Chen Ping, the identity of a father has no meaning, to Chen Ping, he is just a stubborn man. Only after showing signs of kindness, the director immediately used a more cruel lens to show that this is a world where survival is paramount.
Imamura Shohei has always used animals as a metaphor for human beings. The copulation and killing of animals, the natural law of competition between animals and nature, is naked and unobstructed. The eagle passed by at a low altitude, neighing with food in its mouth. Asong's family was wiped out, and all the women, children and children were spared.
What to do when livelihoods are in question? A Lingpo chose to give up, to give up her own life, and A Song's life, in order to let more people live. It sounds noble, but it's so cruel. Survival and death are intertwined and have to choose in the cold winter.
Ayan, who wanted to atone for her sins, became a tool for the men of the village to satisfy their selfish desires. An old man said goodbye to her private parts, and A Yan impatiently told him to hurry up. Love and sex are completely separated here, there is no trace of love, there is only pure sex, the union of flesh to satisfy primitive desires. A Yan is actually a beautiful woman, but in such an environment there is no beauty at all, except for heavy snow, there is no beautiful thing, messy villages, filthy human beings, living is everything. A Yan, this woman, easily contributed herself to atone for her sins. There is no human being without the dignity of women. And does Isuke, who once had sex with a dog, have any dignity at all? Isuke, who was jumped over by Ayan, was extremely angry because he felt that he was no different from other men, so why was he jumped over; or was it just because he didn't get the chance to enjoy Ayan's body? When in doubt, the good will believe that Imamura Shohei will be kind again, and the evil will only think that Isuke is angry because his desires are not satisfied. In order to satisfy Yisuke, Chenping hopes to persuade Ayu to lend his body to Yisuke. Is he qualified to speak of dignity? Granny A Ling approached Granny Jin, hoping she could help. Granny Jin replied, "It's been a long time, so I don't know if I can use it." What's the difference between a woman, a tool, and a dog? Yisuke continued to face Granny Jin's aging body, "use it or can use it" as long as it was a hole for him.
What kind of world is this, if you don't have the courage to abandon the old man, you will lose face, and you will be cast aside by thousands of people. After the son killed his father, it was right to clear the door with a face, and was gently buried. Ah Ling Po was about to go up the mountain, she was respected by the whole village, Chen Ping carried Ah Ling Po on the road to Nara Mountain. Along the way are the chilling scenery, tired bones. Chen Ping was tired and drank water. When he turned around, A Ling was gone, he was relieved and cooed that she had gone back. At this time, the director used animals again. He released a little sparrow next to him, but such a kind person had to personally send his mother to death. He saw Ah Ling Po around the corner. Ah Ling Po's white hair fluttered in the wind, and there were a pair of empty eyes on her expressionless face. They walked on the road that their ancestors had traveled for thousands of years, and went up the mountain from generation to generation. It's just that the legendary mountain god should not be there, they are facing inevitable death. Rules are rules, the law of survival is the law of the jungle, there is no human nature, no ethics or morality. When survival is the primary purpose, humans are no different from eating their companion animals.
The old man in the village had previously explained that Chen Ping didn’t need to go up the mountain, but he still went up with A Ling Po on his back. The Nara Mountain worshipped was just a mass grave, and the bones were everywhere silently proclaiming what happened here. The crow ignored everything, no matter how you looked at it. As if mocking mankind, you are nothing more than that. Ah Ling sat on the ground, she and Chen Ping didn't say anything, and Chen Ping, who was kneeling down, just hugged her mother and sobbed. Chen Ping, who couldn't bear to leave, was slapped hard by A Ling Po, who was so detached that she looked directly at life and death. On the other side, an old man who was reluctant to leave was pushed down the mountain by his son. No one should blame him, the old man was going to die anyway. Just don't know if the son can escape the condemnation of conscience? Or maybe he just felt in his conscience that everything should end like this.
Winter finally came, pure white snow covered everything, A Ling Po folded her hands and sat quietly in the snow. Chen Ping looked at the population that still did not decrease, so he still had to live. Life, death, sin, and desire still cover the village with snow.
