Isabelle Huppert performed the role of Elika very accurately and wonderfully. The film gave a lot of close-ups of her face, of which the most memorable one It is her eyes: sometimes solemn and sometimes helpless. In fact, these two eyes cover all of the character in this movie. Self-masochism, abnormal and deformed love in movies are often the most concerned and final conclusion of many viewers. Logic seems to be often pushed to the THAAD phenomenon, but in reality it does not seem to be the case.
Some people say that there are three kinds of people in this world, men, women, and female doctors. I think the so-called "female doctors" of the so-called "third group of people" are just a general reference. I have heard that the success of many famous people is often due to different degrees of different types of sexual depression. It does make sense to think about it. Those students who are in adolescence and rush to the study room every day to soak in it from morning to night, without normal social interaction, in fact, to some extent, it can be said that learning is regarded as the release of sexual depression. It is said that this phenomenon similar to the heroine in "Piano Teacher" is quite common among some very successful people in the society, who have experienced long-term sexual depression to varying degrees, leading to abnormal sexual orientation.
The first time the movie is completely unclear, I just saw a very talented female professor who is very accomplished in music, very demanding, and a perfectionist. But at the age of 40, she still slept with her mother on the same bed. The movie intermittently reflects her abnormal sexual orientation: watching pornographic movies in the private room of an adult goods store, and taking out other men from the waste basket to wipe the filth. He sniffed his tissues vigorously as if he breathed fresh air, spied young people having sex in the open-air car cinema, and cut his private parts with a blade in his bathroom, etc. It wasn't until the handsome, talented, sunny and energetic male protagonist appeared that the "tone" of the movie seemed to warm up a little. I thought it would develop a year-long love affair that would cherish talent, but I didn't want to rush to it but ushered in a sensation. Disgusting love for people. In the end, I have some feelings, but I have no clue, and I have not experienced the so-called shock. I have no direction on the intentions of the various shots of the entire movie, except for the close-up eyes of the face...
So I read it again, but found a lot, maybe it's just my personal speculation. From the perspective of piano teacher Alika, the movie list tells the two aspects of such a special person's search for liberation from two aspects.
One is mental and rational. The most obvious scene is the piano practice room. When she listens to her students playing her favorite classical music piano music, she likes to lean by the window and look at it, following the way of music. Looking out the window, it shows her desire and desire to escape from a certain space. From another perspective, it also implies her "cage". There are many scenes like this, like she rushed out of the storeroom and rushed into the outside world after the unsuccessful cheating at the ice hockey arena. The other is sensual and carnal, which expresses her seeking liberation by showing her perverted sexual orientation. After meeting the male protagonist, she wants to control him and ask him to order him according to the game in her own imagination. She tempted him, but deliberately refused to satisfy him, until at last the actor Huad was tired of this pathological sadomasochism, and her admiration, appreciation and love for her were struck down by the sickening behavior again and again. After he was finished, he decided to retaliate, using her own "desire" means to retaliate against her, torturing her, and raping her. When entering the venue before the opening of the final film concert, facing the ardent expectation of the piano teacher, she just gave her a very polite smile like a general acquaintance, hurting the piano teacher who has fallen in love with Ward. Heart. She picked up the knife and pierced her body fiercely, but she was very calm, her body was numb, and her spirit was as dead as a dead body. All of this stems from the strict and morbid discipline of the long-term mother, the society's isolation of this outstanding special group of people and their self-enclosure, resulting in Erika not knowing love at all, and there is no way to get a true love at the age of 40. , All experience can only be obtained from pornographic products with heavy tastes in adult goods stores. After meeting the male protagonist, it seems to have met the sunlight outside her cage, she has been looking at the sunlight by the window of the piano room. She wanted to keep him but she didn't know how to express it properly, and she wrote to ask the actor to sexually abuse her. Huade was too young to understand that her behavior was a signal that she wanted him to help herself seek self-liberation. Without the nourishment of love and sex for 40 years, it seems that the body has lost consciousness, and even needs a blade to cut one's private parts to release oneself and prove to oneself that oneself exists.
Of course, the movie describes this kind of special group of people in society, but it seems to ask each of us closely. The last scene of the film is actually very much like a row of "fences". Elika pushed open a door, opened another door, opened another door, and finally came to the "outside", but walked into another one. The new "fence"... seems to be asking whether our protagonist can escape, and it seems to be asking if we can escape... It reminds me of "Siege"...
