is not just because we are willing; so we believe, and so obsessed. --Inscription. Vulcan Ji.
Should we look for a theory for this poor woman about her entire life trajectory and finally going to desperation to prove that her choice is actually non-sensual madness. Perhaps, there is no such need at all. Because, from the perspective of this movie, she actually fell from a kind of rationality all the way into the abyss of sensibility and was unable to extricate herself in the end. Why do we have to demand that so-called rationality? Many times, many people are doing many terrible things that we cannot understand; however, being unable to understand does not mean that it does not exist and is unreasonable.
Master Liu Jin once told me a story that her mentor told me when she was taking a psychology course-today, telling you a very ridiculous lie, you will sneer at it; persevere and speak with certainty, only right every day You repeat it again; after five years, any ridiculous lie will take root in your heart as truth as the truth.
In other words, any ridiculous lie can be convinced by most people in some way; as long as the method is appropriate. This point has been demonstrated by human behavior psychology and finally reached a conclusion.
Therefore, based on the above two points; all the seemingly incomprehensible absurdity or bloody horror in this movie can actually happen.
Let's take a look at the image of the middle-aged Agers and her life portrayed by Ashley Judd. There was a history of marriage, and maybe a good life. Raising a child, and later lost in the supermarket. In addition, her possessive husband always punched and kicked her, so he divorced after he went to prison for a crime. Lived a single life; working as a waitress in a bar, drinking and taking drugs, coupled with indiscreet sexual relations, fixed friends, and a hopeless and exhausting life.
The appearance of Pete played by Michael Shannon in her life may have given her an extremely beautiful vision and desire for future life; in other words, it was a sudden display of her life full of haze. A ray of warm sunshine. This may be the first man who stopped to be sincere and attentive to discern her and was not just for sensuality. He was humble and polite, loved her, respected her, kept the promise of Jingchi not to break, and slept shyly and introverted in her room. ; Imagine that a woman who has been completely desperate for life and has no illusions about life suddenly meets a man who resembles a confidant, how can she still sink in.
This may just be an illusion. The good yearning for life has been rekindled, and the loneliness has pushed Ags into desperation; and the appearance of such a man is not the blessing of fate, but God has sent such a perfect man to her eyes. There has not been much rational judgment, because of the torment of loneliness, the loneliness and the desire for love, Agers threw into Pete's arms like a moth into the fire.
Perhaps it can be said that the significance of Pete's appearance in Agus's life is far more than just a lover or a lover, and it is more like the last straw in her life that makes her crazy about it. He will save her from the sea of suffering, and he will lick all the scars that have been scarred for her. Whether we, as a bystander, believe it or not, in the eyes of Agers, this will convince her like an edict. In addition to desperately grabbing wildly, she actually had no other choice.
The first is true love. Perhaps it is because of loneliness for too long, or because of hopeless fatigue in life, or because of the desire for love. She stayed withered until a suitable person finally appeared in front of her.
After the first layer of yarn was completely pierced, all the craziness no longer seemed so embarrassing. Sex, sincere relatives, obsessed with him, believing everything he says-even if it all seems so unreliable and ridiculous. With a bit of self-abuse and the joy of being abused, she is so convinced that every crazy point of his and every sentence that seems to be unreliable.
It doesn't matter if you are paranoid. Worry about delusion. Whether it's Pete. It's Aggers.
When two trembling souls who are also lonely meet. Don't talk about rationality or calmness. They will hug each other tightly. When you are afraid of letting go, you will lose each other forever. Hugging, hugging, and not letting go; because of fear of worry and craziness of desire; and then because of love and then superstition.
Persecuted delusions; movies like this are actually not uncommon. It's just a few, there is a movie like this one-so pure, violent and tragic.
It comes from the panic inside one's own body-cutting one's own skin, tearing up the muscles under one's skin, looking for those non-existent robot insects in the depths of the muscles, and removing all the worries that may be harmed.
From individuals to others. The one who is most easily affected is always the lover who loves and believes in him more than himself. The tragedy of Agers is not to be hurt, not to be abandoned, or to die after both self-immolation with Pete in the end... Her tragedy is only because of the desire for love and the missed choice of trusting Pete.
In the eyes of Agers, this terrible and tragic last time in our opinion may be one of the happiest times in her life. At least she loves someone, and someone also loves her; so she tried everything she can to spend this hard time with someone, and someone also loves her and protects her; and then she And someone rushed to death because they couldn't beat the terrible real world, and came to an end in the most heroic and crazy way. Perhaps for her and someone, this is not the end—but a new beginning—the ultimate path to eternal happiness and peace.
From the perspective of the plot design of this movie alone, the final ending of Agers can indeed be called a tragedy. In Agus' own eyes, this may be more like a beautiful home.
But looking at it from another angle, for example, Hegel’s definition of tragedy—tragedy arises from the contradiction between "a necessary requirement of history" and "this requirement is actually impossible to achieve". The actual behavior of a specific person can have a certain degree. It is forward-looking, but it fails because of the lack of a realistic foundation. Such a definition makes sense in this story; it's just that being ahead does not mean that it is equally reasonable.
The tragedy defined in the field of aesthetics may be more in line with this story-tragedy is not the suffering imposed on you from the outside, the real tragedy is that when the suffering is imposed on you from the outside, you use your own tragic character to realize the suffering.
Perhaps, because tragedies are always easier to accept and more moving. Coupled with the catalysis of all the tragic complexes, this movie moved me and made me obsessed. But looking more objectively, I might not like this movie either.
Dirty and beautiful. Because the ugliness, and the only thin and beautiful light in the ugliness, is not enough to support the solid foundation of the whole movie on the rational. View this movie with a critical attitude, and with a rational mind-I actually don't advocate all kinds of filth and extravagance.
Metaphysical aesthetic tragedy and metaphysical human comedy. For the time being, I can't think of a better ending. In fact, this is pretty depressing.
Subjective happiness and objective tragedy are not contradictory. The only question is, from what angle will we look at this story. I always say, think about the problem from another angle—because only when we substitute ourselves into the life experience of the characters, the perspective of looking at the problem, and the stress response to specific events from the perspective of personality, can we rationally understand literary and artistic works. The characters in the encounter and the various reactions after the encounter.
In general, this movie makes me obsessed-because of the love, so superstitious. Such love may be met but not desired, and such practice may not be what I personally pursue, but I wish to believe in the existence of this filthy beauty; in other words, it is precisely this filthy but beautiful existence. The beautiful existence made me believe that no matter what journey we have encountered or will encounter in life, there are still things that are worth waiting for and expecting.
