Whether you really like CULT is the primary threshold for testing a person's taste

The culture of CULT, people who don't really like it, won't really like it.

In the movie, relying on the idea of ​​revenge on his own, he exercised a strong heart - although ironically, that heart was artificial - let him lock the male protagonist for 15 years, just to let him in. In the past 15 years, he has maintained the same revenge mentality as himself.

You say sarcasm is not sarcasm. The negative male protagonist makes the positive male protagonist fall in love with the positive male protagonist's daughter through hypnosis. Then tell him it's your daughter. In the end, the positive male protagonist felt that he could not accept falling in love with his daughter, and chose to kill the part of the personality who knew the truth through hypnosis.

——Is the love generated through hypnosis real love, or is it a true inner thought? Or is it just the comfort of two lonely souls relying on each other?

The positive male protagonist chooses to accept that is true love. Don't think about this issue, don't want to deny yourself who has made a fait accompli. Then kill the demon king personality who knows "that's my daughter". It is not easy for ordinary people to do this.

And the male protagonist, who thought he was strong in his heart, blew himself up after feeling that his revenge had been completed. Is it because he can't accept that the long-prepared revenge ends at once; or he can't accept the fact that he has promiscuous with his sister; or he can't accept that his sister died because of his letting go?

What is inner strength? How do I need to recognize myself? I realize that I am disgusting to myself, what should I do?

Easiest, you can die. Or you can choose to live humbly and bear the consequences of what you have done before. You can selectively forget, you can also remember everything you have done before, and live in constant self-blame to yourself.

There are a lot of scenes that have to be praised: raw chewing, the octopus that is still alive and kicking slowly - because she hasn't touched a woman for a long time, she fainted when touched by a woman (although you later found out that it was because of being hypnotized) - using a claw hammer The horn part of the horn prys off other people's teeth - use scissors to cut off the tongue of the male protagonist who said he has a long tongue.

In the film, the director puts everything to the limit and achieves the ultimate. Every shot conforms to the golden ratio and is a very beautiful picture expression. It really is the ultimate product for Virgo.

Including when the positive male protagonist met his daughter for the first time, MIDO's pale cheeks and sexy red lips hinted at her loneliness, desire for love and sexual desire to be satisfied.

What makes me feel that the script is real is that when the positive male protagonist was locked up, he wrote down all the wrong things he had done and the people he felt offended. This passage reminds me of one of Kafka's novels. So why is his daughter so attracted to him - honestly. After peeling off the veil needed to face the society, I can face up to my dark side and face myself honestly.
