misplaced love

Peeping, this is a wretched, perverted word, and is often associated with sex. But Kier used this film to subvert the public's habitual associations with voyeurism. Voyeurism becomes love, voyeurism becomes resistance to sex, voyeurism becomes pure love that transcends sexuality and reaches the spirit. Even though the boy Tommark confessed in front of the woman he had a crush on that he had masturbated when he first started voyeurism, but with the deepening of voyeurism and the generation of love, he stopped masturbating, and he was facing and touching the flesh of the object of his love. Premature ejaculation. Under a seemingly perverted behavior, the purest love, the love closest to Platonic love, is born.

Tommark, who works in the post office, is a virgin who spends every night in his friend's mother's room using binoculars to spy on his crush, Magda, a mature woman who lives in the opposite building. Day after day he watched Magda eat at home, paint, have sex with different men, happy or sad. He would send Magda an unnecessary remittance letter just to meet Magda at the post office who came to ask about the letter. He called Magda while he was peeping, then kept silent, just wanting to hear her voice. Tommark would even find a part-time job as a milkman to deliver milk to Magda, just to get a few more glances at her. But seeing that Magda found the post office because of an unwarranted remittance, and was treated as a scammer and quarreled with the manager, out of conscience, Tommark confessed to Magda the fact that he was a sender and a peep, And expressed his love for Magda. So far, for Tommark, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and such an unusual statement is destined to receive an unusual response.

Magda took the initiative to make out with her lover under Tommark's peeping, and instructed her lover to repair Tommark. But Tommark, who was punched in the face, still delivered milk to her the next day. Instigated by Magda, Tommark took the initiative to ask her out. After dinner at the restaurant, Magda took the crush home with her. She was wearing a large shirt and no pants, and her seductive body was displayed in front of Tommark. Tommark was very resistant. He kept saying "I love you, I love you", but he didn't dare to look directly at the woman in front of him. Magda put Tommark's hand on her thigh, and after a while Tommark ejaculated... This is the so-called love, this is the reality that Magda wants pure Tommark to recognize. The mature Magda no longer believes in love. In the face of a boy who is just beginning to fall in love, she will give him a head-on blow and fully show her superiority. Disillusioned in love, Tommark pushes Magda away and runs all the way home to attempt suicide by cutting his wrists.

Maybe, sometimes, the birth of love is not so glamorous and grand. Maybe, sometimes, love is born out of hurt and guilt, like Magda at this time. She knew she had gone too far, she knew she had committed the taboo of treating everyone equally. She came to Tommark's house to inquire about the situation, but found that only Tommark's friend's mother was at home. The old lady peeped into what happened just now. She did not reveal the whereabouts of the boy. She was afraid that Tommark would be hurt again. So far, the voyeurs have been exchanged, Tommark's platonic love has been disillusioned, and Magda has given birth to a love she never believed in, even if the cause of this love is full of guilt and shame. She used the binoculars to peep at Tommark day after day to see if Tommark was home. She came to the post office but found that Tommark did not come to work. She asked the postman about Tommark's whereabouts and learned that Tommark was hospitalized for suicide by cutting his wrists. Finally, she waited until the day Tommark was discharged home. She came to the boy's house, looked at Tommark lying weak on the bed, and then looked at her own house through the telescope. At this time, she was peeping at her home like a boy in the past. She saw the crying herself and Tommark who comforted her. This is the only warm moment in the film. This is her fantasy of love, which is what love should have. It looks like they both just missed each other's love.

    8/10. The scene frame followed the character and continued to correct the composition. Tommark ran out of the post office and called Magda to admit that he was involved in a set of emotional reaction shots that were not arranged in advance, like a documentary, with red bedspreads, tapestries, telephones, oil paintings, window frames and transparency. Shooting through a mirror reveals a passionate desire to be surrounded by a dim living space. At the end, Magda's eyes are close to the telescope and toward her room: caressing the overturned baby bottle in tears, and Gu Ying expresses her love and loneliness.

    Love is watching the fire from the other side, love is trying to touch and withdraw your hand. Love does not ask whether it is right or not, love is right or wrong. Love is not deep but deep, love is your tears and my heart aches, love stays outside of life but is carved into life. Dreaming and loving. Wins in an end credit.
