The vehicle as a broken tool regains its supremacy after being consumed as a middle-class symbol and usefulness, and after a slightly hasty dash, the next shot is the body's scars and prosthetics. In "Desire Express", the two spaces of Canada and Shepparton in the original book have no particularity, but are just universal homogeneous countries abstracted by multiple viaducts. Here, we can even draw a conclusion that Vaughan (Ballard) = Fukuyama, the universal homogenization of the world and the end of history are the process of drilling holes in the body and making scars, identity and sexuality begin to blur, a becoming Masquerade extension of the organless body. Microscopic shocks and signs of death are always present. The most exciting part of the film is in the car wash room. The gradually rising ceiling and Vaughan-Catherine and the male protagonist watching his wife being raped. In the surrounding car windows, the water flow from the machine penis formed a surreal screen. It is the microcosm of the exchange of bodily fluids, and Cronenberg himself still retains his gaze on physicality in this mechanized processing.

I think this is the kind of film that has become more and more memorable after watching it. It is not only erotic, but also the kind of liberation that erupts due to car accidents and near death. It raises the crash into totem worship and death. Seen as the ultimate climax, an infinitely distorted and reasonable perversion of human nature.

James Ballard: I'm beginning to feel like a potted plant.

Vaughan: The car crash is a fertilizing rather than a destructive event.
