How did the male lead split step by step

Remember the scene where the male lead attended the funeral in the church? He saw the woman touching her thigh in the cinema, and he wanted to approach her. But here is the church, the pastor is praying, the sin of lust is not allowed. Pay attention to what the pastor said, it is probably that the body of the person who died after death was decayed and was bitten by maggots. At this time, the male protagonist looked up and saw the rotting icon of Jesus, his lips were bitten by insects, and his internal organs leaked out. But if you look at the front lens or the rear lens, the icon is clearly intact. I want to talk about a religious concept here, that is, people are inherently immortal, because they have sinned and are cursed, so that they can never get rid of physical death, unless the Lord Jesus Christ sincerely repents of their sins can be saved. The male protagonist here is obviously bewitched by lust, so when he looks at the icon, he sees "death". In fact, the whole film talks about this: the male protagonist is moved by the Gu and clearly wants to do something, but the reality or the so-called moral in his heart requires him not to do this. The result was that he was completely schizophrenic. After reading it, you may feel that the change of the male lead is a bit abrupt, but in fact, the seeds of this split have been planted from the very beginning. Let's sort out how he became divided step by step. First of all, he was "wrong" when he rented this house. Because the previous tenant of this house jumped off the building, but he hasn't died yet. If that person does not die, he cannot rent this house, so he hopes that person will die. He even used this condition to bargain with the landlord. He went to visit the tenant and wanted to see if she would die, only to find that she was so miserable. Then she really died, and he might feel that he couldn't make it through conscience. Then I saw her boyfriend and felt even more troubled. Then there are his friends, a group of people who play unscrupulously. Maybe this was the normal state of his previous life, not going to work on Saturdays, and entertaining on Friday nights is nothing. But this kind of behavior is unacceptable in this new environment. So when he went to a friend's house as a guest, he saw that his friends could play loud music, dance, and be sexually open, without having to consider neighbors. The intuitive feelings his friends gave him made him more and more rebellious towards his environment. Why would he see someone standing in the toilet for a long time? In fact, that was his illusion. Have you noticed that the neighbor's windows he saw from outside the window are all patterns on or around them, the windows are rectangular or oval, the lights in the toilets are dim, and the people in the toilets are solemn and motionless, just like religious murals. That's right, this is how he feels intuitively about this building. The environment of this building is too "upright", there are icons at the door, and the trash that has just fallen will be picked up instantly. After ten o'clock, you will have to change your slippers and walk. Exactly This very solemn, unconventional and very repressive environment is in stark contrast to the male protagonist's rebellious ideas. Some people may think that it is a horrible practice for the woman with a face full of flesh to drive people out, but have you ever thought about a question? Maybe what she said was true. The woman who was going to be kicked out might really wake up in the middle of the night to wash clothes. She has a son, not a daughter. She made her son pretend to be a girl and also pretend to be disabled to win His sympathy. As a result, when the woman wanted to retaliate against everyone for spilling dirty things at their door, he was scared again. He was afraid that the neighbors would think that he did it, so he hurriedly sprinkled some at his door. He saw Egyptian characters on the wall of the toilet. Those were written by the tenant who died before. Both she and her boyfriend had studied Egyptian culture. Perhaps it is for this reason that she was isolated on the road of suicide by her neighbors. Her rebellious character could not stand this kind of life. And the male protagonist began to waver, he sympathized with others, but he did not trust the object of his sympathy. His room was stolen and he couldn't even call the police. He accepts ideas from all parties, but cannot coordinate them. If the limbs he said when he was drunk were separated or not the body, it implied that he had lost himself by these concepts. Eventually, he was schizophrenic and hallucinated. The reason why he became the female tenant before, may be his guilt for her, or his rebellion that he wanted to imitate her, because he said he wanted to fight against all of this. The male protagonist used to speak with a gentle manner, and became very surly after becoming a woman. When he committed suicide, none of his neighbors seemed to be at fault. It is indeed not their fault, and the male protagonist has long been unable to bear the split in concepts, it seems that they have become demons. live.

    4.5 Several scenes were filmed too well// Two days later, I decided to give five stars for re-evaluation. Although I am not satisfied with some of the twists and turns, it is really flawed. Polanski's own performance & the middle of the night toilet scene & basketball / head scene & body The philosophical thinking & the final jumping off the building scene... I really remembered many episodes after watching it.

    After re-watching it again, after much deliberation, I still changed the score to five stars. There is a lot of fantasy in the back of this movie, which really left me stunned. Josef Rossi has spent his entire life thinking about how to load surreal elements into serious social inquiry, but Polanski, at the best stage of his career, could easily do it. The last fear is the despair of the society, but also the despair of oneself, and even the despair of mankind. Probably the scariest movie I've ever seen. After watching it twice, the fear spread from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
