The beginning of the film introduces the "suicide store" into the public eye from the perspective of a suicidal person. At the beginning of the film, the whole picture of the "suicide store" is more objectively displayed. And it is specifically performed or directly reflected by the characters in the narrative, which is a typical form of performance in musicals. Taking helping people commit suicide as their responsibility, this family with a strong sense of mission suffered from self-torture and irresistible fate, and the end of all this began with the birth of their youngest son Alan.
The film combines music with gloomy and gloomy pictures in a Gothic way to expand the despair and helplessness of human beings towards life.
The form of singing and dancing in the film is typical Gothic music: the male vocalist does his best to suppress and explode, expressing the desperate struggle in the dark night vividly; the chant-style female voice in the background often has a strong sympathetic temperament. , the tone is low and brainwashed, taking suicide as a commonplace like a church choir worship, making death full of ritual, and taking suicide as a reasonable escape from life. Therefore, everyone in the film expects to be liberated by suicide, and the production and sales triggered by supply and demand form a unique suicide industry, which makes human's pursuit of death noble and even unique.
On the other hand, I think what the film wants to say is that the most primitive pleasure of man comes from sex. Suicide is not the ultimate solution to the problem, so there is no warning in the film that people are still being fined after they die. So, what is the way to escape from the endless cycle of pain and torture?
Probably sex.
Sex is actually one of the most primitive ways for humans to get pleasure. It has a wide variety and indeterminate forms. It can be completed by multiple people or independently. It has low cost, high return and high cost performance. (It is the first choice for home travel) In the film, Allen gave her sister's birthday gift. The silk scarf touched every inch of Marilyn's skin, making the girl realize her rich and charming charm as a woman. In the rhythm, he forgot the anguish of life, and also forgot his inner condemnation and shame, and used sexual hints to add color to his life. A turning point in life also appeared. The silk scarf allowed Marilyn to re-recognize herself and redefine beauty through sex. In Ellen's plan, she unexpectedly harvested her own love, and also changed the entire family from tolerance to death and death. rescued from the struggle.
Seventy-plus minutes is not too long for a feature film, and the graphic visuals make every frame of the film shine for the development of the story. Perhaps the purpose of the film is to let people understand the meaning of life, but in fact, for me, it is the old Hong Kong drama line,
As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy.
