In "World Movie Villains", I saw Katherine, an instinctive villain who was honored on the list, so I became very interested in this movie.
The film is called "Instinct", which tells the story of the beautiful female writer Katherine's sexual partner who was assassinated to death in the state of her book. Nick fell in love with the female writer in the process of investigating the case. Erotica and suspense are intertwined, and even at the end, we can't be sure whether Katherine is the murderer, whether Beth was really wronged, and which side of Nick's intuition and sensibility is closer to reality.
For the author, I prefer to believe that the murderer is Catherine. Peeling off the layers of camouflage, we can see that the so-called instinct is nothing more than the animal desire buried in the blood.
The biggest difference between man and beast is that man can control his desires and his primitive instincts.
Catherine, the people gathered around have some psychological problems more or less: a controlling and impulsive female companion, a female killer who killed her younger brothers with a blade because she didn't like them, a rock 'n' roll with a history of drug use and never quit. Singer...she says she reaches out to these kinds of people for her own inspirational needs. She also has a strong charm herself. There is no fixed sexual orientation just because she likes it. Similarly, she is very easy to control the people around her, and she is a natural leader. Her superior control can be seen from her manipulation of Nick. She is good at digging out the unknown side of others, using her own advantages to successfully win Nick who has just completed psychiatric treatment, and even let him recover after finally quitting habit of smoking and drinking.
The characters in the movie run through desire.
Originally, beauty was just a trick that Catherine used to achieve her goals, but when Nick became her subordinate and began to trust her and pointed the spear of investigation elsewhere, perhaps Catherine was also moved. That's why she struggled for a long time at the end, but she put down the ice pick placed by the bed, and the novel about the police detective also went to the ending provided by Nick.
In the face of desire, Nick indulged himself to sink. The first time he gave the police detective and the beautiful writer the ending was that both of them lived happily, the second time it became like a mouse. The transformation of this adjective has to make people wonder what he has discovered, but the desire for Catherine makes him choose to live like a mouse without the light of day.
Basic Instinc, in the final analysis, is nothing but animal desire.
