Sadness makes me happy

After watching Nie Kou, I always feel that I have a lot of words to vent. During this period of time, I don't know why I always find these gloomy films to watch. Life in London is the same. After reading it, it looks like a punctured balloon. All the things that support you and make you look somewhat shaped are emptied.
I have been thinking about a question these days. Regarding the specific definition of the word love, there seems to be a trend now, that is, no matter what, I want to find a standard answer for them, and I want to follow the absolutely correct line. I bury my head and walk down, but you know, this kind of absolute correctness simply doesn't exist. The relationship between Beverly and Avery looks deformed and paranoid, because they are too dependent on each other, and this balance will be broken if only one of the ends collapses. There were originally two completely different people, the sensitive and introverted brother, the sleek and extroverted brother, one frivolous and the other serious. Finally, in the room full of broken trash and sour vomit, when the music rang, I saw I knew it when the two brothers moved stiffly and unconsciously into the room in almost the same posture. In fact, they are just one person, a reflection of the different aspects of a person, and we are like this. The bodies live completely different. One of the two people, one is cheerful, longing for friends, longing for new things, and one is inferior and introverted, just want to return to the shadow that no one will hurt him, and want to hide himself completely. Sometimes I think about hiding that bad self, one of the self I don’t like, and then I realize that it’s impossible, me in the sun, me in the shadow, we It is a relationship of mutual dependence.
At the end of the film, the younger brother tried to get rid of his elder brother, put on new clothes, changed his face and wanted to find his beloved woman and put into a new life, but he failed. The blank eyes when the younger brother lay down on his elder brother were really desperate. It's as if we can never escape the other self. All attempts to change will lead to the same goal, which is to destroy oneself.

    9.0/10. ①A strange love triangle between a pair of twin male gynecological doctors A and B with different personalities and a promiscuous female protagonist with three wombs: A promiscuous even shares a girlfriend, A and B have a spiritual conjoined relationship beyond family and love, B's love for the heroine. ②Thriller (these passages fit the weird but not hostile character relationship between A and B): surgical instruments used for mutant women; the heroine's dream of cutting the umbilical cord between A and B; wearing red clothes for surgery but accidentally injured Patient A; ③ As a traditional melodrama, the narrative rhythm is too slow (but it also unexpectedly fits the depressing atmosphere of the film); the psychological curves of the characters are a little fuzzy.

    He shared a bed with a woman, but dreamed that he and his brother's bodies were connected, and the woman tried to bite off the huge umbilical cord between them. This is a very symbolic dream. The woman wants to be completely independent and complete. The younger brother, but the connection between the younger brother and the older brother seems to be unbreakable. This connection in the dream world mirrors the spiritual connection in reality. When the younger brother is awakened by such a nightmare, it also shows his attitude towards this. The connection with the elder brother is a more important existence, higher than women, higher than love, and connecting oneself with the elder brother with the umbilical cord is the most complete state.
