one. In the

video of howling mice, Lucy's boyfriend introduced him to a mouse on the prairie. People thought it was extinct, but it was only recently rediscovered. Mice have sharp teeth, feed on insects, and howl loudly when in danger.

Obviously, the protagonist Lucy is the "mouse" in the human world. She occasionally showed her sharp edge, but more often she was just as fragile as a mouse, not cared about (mother drank, boyfriend died), afraid but afraid to shout. Lucy's cry at the end of the film is the release and awakening of the "mouse" nature.

two. "My vagina is not a temple"

When Lucy became a "Sleeping Beauty" for the first time, Claire specifically reminded her that there would be no penetration, because a girl's vagina is a "temple". However, Lucy just replied lightly, "My vagina is not a temple." As a student prostitute, Lucy has long been accustomed to going to high-end bars to find lonely men to solicit business, and has long been used to crying and laughing in pain when doing traffic.

Claire is a very special character, and to some extent, it was her who contributed to Lucy's re-understanding of herself. Obviously, Claire is different from the brothel mother-in-law in the traditional sense. First of all, she is very educated and only deals with the upper-class customers in society. Secondly, she sincerely cares about girls who sell themselves, not just because of professional norms (girls are not allowed to smoke and take drugs to ensure their "purity"). At the end, Claire thought that when Lucy died, she frantically gave Lucy artificial respiration. It can be seen that she loves the girls, and the reason why she organized them to sell her body can be understood to some extent as an aesthetic discovery of the girl's body. Of course, this sounds far-fetched, but Claire herself might really think so.

After the restless "Sleeping Beauty" experience, Lucy began to want to understand how this process is. This is the student prostitute's re-understanding of herself, she began to understand that the vagina is her own "temple". There was a very interesting scene. In her new house, she slept naked at first, but she couldn't fall asleep over and over, then got up and went to the box to take out a pair of shorts and put it on. This has also become a turning point in the film.


three. "Will you marry me?"

Lucy said this to his boyfriend for the first time. However, the boyfriend's answer changed from "ready" to "almost ready". He didn't think he could successfully detoxify, let alone make any promises to Lucy.

However, when her boyfriend died, Lucy lost the last person to talk to. She started looking for men frantically, not only for physical needs, but also for psychological needs. The sentence "Will you marry me?" has become so cheap, and it can be exchanged for another angry sentence "F**k you".

Four. The

most incomprehensible part of the Broken Old Man movie is the old man who finally took sleeping pills and Lucy to death. The story he told Claire (The Thirtieth Year by Ingeborg Bachmann) is obviously the most important clue. At the end of the story, he mentioned that he didn't cherish his friends, wife, or children, but just let it go. He felt that he was "broken" now. In the story, the doctor laughed and said to the protagonist that "you have no broken bones" and the protagonist couldn't wait to return to his original life. At this time, the old man said that he was "broken" and laid the groundwork for his subsequent suicide.

This also makes the ending of "Sleeping Beauty" full of morals: the person who should sleep finally goes to sleep, and the person who should wake up is finally free from the dream.

    Sure enough, it's a debut novel, and I feel that the handling of many places is not skilled enough.
