Sacrifice can be summoned

The first half of the film progressed very slowly, and the director made enough preparations that I almost forgot that this is a thriller rather than a schizophrenic long-shot close-up... The clues of the film are clear from start to finish: "No friends, Just make one by yourself", sounds very domineering, wow!
The story starts with May’s eyes, a little girl who has been amblyopic and wore black blindfolds and yearns for friends but is regarded as weird and weird everywhere. She is inferior, sensitive and cautious. She has only one gift from her mother. The puppet in the glass cover (this thing is a symbol of weirdness and horror since its appearance, and its eyes are full of murderous meaning) to accompany herself, living in a world with only "dead things" as company, and May does not know how to get along with normal people. Her nervousness and weirdness scared her boyfriend away, and she was turned back after being teased by the same sex... She screamed and screamed in the room, her body's repressed desire to be accepted and respected came out from deep in her throat, Cracks appeared in the glass cover of the puppet. The glass cover should imply a wall that confines May's desire and hope. When a blind girl (May thinks her situation is close to her, she should be able to understand each other), the glass cover should not come out. When it was inside, May’s already shaky belief collapsed instantly. The children overthrew the puppets, the glass cover shattered, and the confined Demon in May's heart also broke free from the chains. The "demon" came...May was dismembered. Ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, and their respective current partners pieced together and stitched together the most satisfying parts of their bodies (May sews well and makes all the clothes themselves) to complete their "made friends". But this friend can't gently touch his cheek with his beloved hand. This is the original intention of the most coveted crazy series of events! May couldn't accept it... Finally she understood that "friend" didn't interact with herself because he couldn't see it! The same as what happened to me when I was young! In pain, she completed the final sacrifice: she dug out her eyes and gave it to her "friend"...
Only when I saw this did I understand that the movie’s climax was coming: "Friend" finally lifted up the stitched arms and arms to gently soothe May’s face. Amidst a pool of blood, May showed a uniquely satisfying smile... Finally, the director The introduction of the devil element, I think it is the highlight of the film, when May gradually surrendered her kindness, trust, love, friendship, conscience and relationship, she finally endured great grief and sacrificed to the light, and then awakened the devil and awakened Broken puppet (I think the puppet has always been magical. She was released after the glass cover was broken, but only after May dedicated his most precious eyesight did he accept the call and return to the body of his "friend" willingly Driven).
After thinking about it this way, I didn’t feel that the beginning of the film was boring. The words may not be appropriate) The sense of being at one go is really commendable!

    More psychological characterization will be much better, it is hard to imagine that the director and the screenwriter are the same person

    "If you don't have a friend, make one yourself." I can only accept this on the spiritual level.
