      The anxiety of cutting the navel and the temptation of perfection

      Identical twins have the symbolic meaning of perfection, and the gravitational pull of the Mantel brothers trying to separate and inseparable is in fact a fascination and a deep fascination with perfection. Therefore, the twins are beautiful and dangerous. They are both a near-perfect counterpart and a threat to subjectivity. Separation of the two is like biting the umbilical cord, and there is always the risk of death. Therefore, all the "odd" types in the film (women with...

      Two flowers

      A pair of twins, the elder brother is extroverted, the younger brother is introverted, and an actress with three wombs. Such a weird threesome story looks like a variant version of a new wave match of two men and one woman. Two men who look exactly the same, a woman with a third womb who is unique in the world, his brother's love for women is different from his brother's. The elder brother can enjoy a woman's body unscrupulously, while the younger brother pays more...

      "Nie Kou": Three selves in a person's life

      Freud theory: A person will meet three selves in his life, one is the person he thinks he is (self), the other is the person he actually is (the self), and the other is in the eyes of others Himself (he and me).

      The twins, Beverly and Elit, are good at medical technology and the other good at interpersonal communication. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are the same person, a perfect person, and an unsurpassable balance (self and id). They have always viewed themselves this way....

      Nie Kou-Half of Death

      Bever’s nightmare is what I think is the best way to express twins in camera language. It is both an umbilical cord that links their lives and an ugly parasite.

      They did not agree, but handed over what they were not good at to their twin brothers. Their anchor was each other, and they could fix themselves in the precarious world. Until this woman-Claire appears, three cervixes may be three needs....

      Sibling

      I'm not familiar with this world.
         This is not the reason for my loneliness.
         I still have a lot of appeals,
         need comfort, to be shared, upset, tell you.

          poster, there are three people's faces, three faces, showing completely similar expressions, staring at the front, telling their respective desires.

      Jeremy Irons is amazing! Although the content is not very curious, the scale is quite comparable. Obviously, you can live the life you want by yourself, but the ending is a complete mess. Is this the special complex of...

    Evaluation action

    In the movie "Dead Ringers", David Cronenberg's theory of self-splitting is not just a metaphor, but transformed into a pair of identical twin obstetricians and gynecologists and their ultimate destruction in madness. This theme has reached an unprecedented height of disgust, and there is no doubt that it was created by Cronenberg. The film therefore plunged the audience into the abyss of despair, distress and loneliness   . (Comment...
