This picture is the most beautiful

After watching this movie, I deeply understand what Wang Xiaobo once said: the most beautiful thing in the world, I think is sex.
In China, talking about sexual discoloration is actually a difficult topic to talk about in South Korea, which has similar public sentiments. Therefore, for Asians, those naked erotic movies in the West are to some extent a taboo and difficult for society to accept. . But the more the society blocks something, the faster it spreads secretly. China has a slap in the face, so naturally there can’t be too many erotic movies, but South Korea is different. Their tertiary movies are blooming everywhere, and many of them are full of strong art. Breathable boutique.
In the East, patriarchy in feudal society has ruled for thousands of years, and sex is also dominated by men. In the eyes of men, sex is simple and crude, direct, often with a strong possessiveness. Under this possessiveness It gave birth to feudal ideas such as men being superior to women, three obedience and four virtues, etc. In fact, this is a patriarchal conspiracy. They firmly control sex and women around them, use the big net of morality to detain them, and at the same time cover up their own exploits.
The idiots who listen to lewd stories in the movie are representatives of male chauvinism. They wear gentleman's clothes and behave as gentlemen, but they listen to those vulgar and vulgar sexual descriptions with relish. They imprison women in their filthy sexual world, and do the most nasty things in the most elegant way: high-level and lewd reading, grand incest (with a maid, marrying their own niece), and tyrannical sex (The earl, played by Ha Zhengyu, said that the more a woman resists, the more pleasure she gets.) Ultimately, it becomes the scene at the end of the film: last month, the uncle Jiao Ming chopped the earl's finger and wanted to talk to others. house affairs. Although the metaphor in this paragraph is a bit deliberate, it is still a wonderful stroke, and the ironic effect is very strong.
The beauty of sex was fully portrayed by the two heroines, especially the role played by the young lady. Her affectionate and tender eyes really fascinated me at the time. The style is a complete mess, mom, this is the same person! Throughout the movie, I was led away by this woman who was also a fairy and a demon, and the whole process was tough.
The reason why Park Chan-wook uses two women to express the beauty of sex is because women have a whole-hearted sensitivity and expectation to sex and love, which is not comparable to the pure hormonal impulse of men. In fact, I think Park Chan-wook did not deliberately express same-sex love, but used ambiguous gender positioning to purely express the beauty of sex. In the first film, Li Nan Shuji is a male character. Her toned figure, dark skin, and courage to resist all give people a masculine air. The part where she grinds her teeth for the young lady is in her piercing eyes. Full of eroticism without any obscene elements. To inspire the breeding of love in sex, to enjoy the beauty of sex in love, this is love! In the second part, Nan Shuji's gender changed, she suddenly became a simple and ignorant, cute loli, she became a woman, a girl woven by the conspiracy of the young lady and the count, she ignorantly held injustice for the young lady , crying like an ordinary girl, jealous, in the face of the girl's initiative and superb skills when making love, she foolishly thinks that the girl is a master of sex love, without a teacher. But the young lady became a man in the second part. She controlled the whole conspiracy, showed the king's smile again and again, and finally won her lover. The specific manifestation was that when the two were on the boat, the young lady was wearing a man's clothes with a beard. Sook Hee was wearing a woman's clothes and smiled at her very femininely, and then Sook Hee took off her beard and gentleman's hat for her and threw them into the sea.
They entered the house, lost their identities and labels, forgot the difference between genders, forgotten the worldly right and wrong, and fully enjoyed the joy of love. Two women kissed together, no, just two lovers.

    After reading it, what should I say? I didn't have to choose the soundtrack, but I still felt like I was watching a raw film. Sure enough, British novels still have to be filmed in the UK.

    After reading the extended version, I still like the Taiwan version's translated name "The Temptation of a Ladies". I really love this reversal of the plot. The soundtrack, camera movement, composition and poster are all well received. The most heart-wrenching scene was that Shu Ji thought that the young lady would be sent to the hospital and felt guilty and painful, but she was treated as a mentally ill person. Seeing the young lady's lines scared me; the most touching scene was in the second part of the young lady's narration. Inside, the two of them walked out of the yard with the boxes and walked past the cherry blossoms. When they reached the wall, the lady stopped and didn't know how to turn over. Shu Ji folded back and put the box up high, and helped the lady up gracefully, and then the lady jumped down. It also feels great to run towards freedom and hope! The Mian bell at the end rang on the sea, mixed with the sound of gasping from time to time, it was really picturesque... Isn't it a happy ending to watch the drama~
