Core interpretation: Sisters Faith&Chance //for loop

Obsessed with this movie, there are currently three common ways of interpreting it: gender relations, political metaphors, and Cthulhu-style horror films. The horror film is the outer skin is the expression method, and the inner core is the first two. The director obviously deliberately merged the three, so interpreting the story from any single angle cannot achieve 100% coverage of the details. And most film reviews will also analyze from at least two angles at the same time to be more full. But I still want to try to retell this story completely from the perspective of the relationship between the sexes. There will be no morality, no sticky monsters and ghosts. I personally think that this is probably the best way to make the film round, and it will inevitably appear shallow, vulgar, dog-blooded, pull down the original film, and at the same time cannot explain all the plots of the film. There are some discrepancies in the interpretation of netizens.

I think the core metaphor of the whole film is Sisters Faith & Chance. A very mouth-watering dialectical relationship in the original film is probably like this: Faith can't exclude chance; Chance doesn't explain faith; Faith can't allow me finding chance; Chance don't give me eough faith. In fact, if you read this passage carefully, it is almost like a panacea in Zhouyi's hexagrams, you can put everything in it. If you put it in the theory of probability, this paragraph is probably like this: you play a slot machine in a casino, and you have spent a lot of time and money on the same slot machine. The faith is that you believe that as long as you die on this slot machine, you have a probability of winning. . Then you start to wonder if you want to try another slot machine (finding chances), but this seems to deviate from your faith (you can win money by knocking on one machine). At the same time, it includes a small for statement loop (the code dog must understand), even if you choose the next slot machine and die (chance), and old chance becomes new faith, then you start wanting again Choose the next slot machine.

In fact, the first reaction I saw in Chance's brain was "opportunity." Then-opportunities and challenges-adhere to gczy vs. choose ggkf-adhere to the old vs. choose the new. How suddenly it becomes a political metaphor, right? So this Sisters Faith & Chance is a panacea. So I still choose to interpret it in terms of the relationship between the sexes: Faith means that you have full confidence in the incumbent and believe that you can get true love. Chance means that you choose to find another partner. Maybe ta is true love. So the film is actually a process in which both the heroine and the protagonist gradually lose confidence in each other, start to find the next object, and continue to struggle between the two choices. In the film, Adjani and Sam Neal both play two roles, in fact they both represent old faith and new chance. The appearance also conforms to the "for loop" I mentioned in the previous paragraph.

At the same time, the perverse and hysterical behavior of the characters in this movie is an enlarged dramatic display of the inner psychology of the characters, and this psychological display is largely a subjective filter of the male protagonist. The point of idiot is, you see that the heroine is like a ghost with her upper body convulsing every day, because she is too entangled in her heart. She is considering whether to believe that the relationship with her husband can make up for it (faith), and at the same time seek true love from Xinhuan (chance) ); You see that the male junior walks twitching and looks owed, because the male lead thinks that he is a fool and thinks owed. And that monster, disgusting to death, is inhumane, why? Because that is the true love of the male protagonist’s wife, the male protagonist demonizes others. At the same time according to Western culture, demon= the one can fulfill all her demands. The male protagonist seems to be not very sexual (many netizens mention this), and men, you know, the quality of relationship is always linked with male self-esteem and phallic worship, so the male protagonist goes to the male mistress and confronts him. It is said that it is better to work than anyone else, and the wife is so refreshed to fly by the monster (the object of true love). Finally, of course, the male protagonist is the one who looks the most normal, so see yourself. Of course, some people will think that this interpretation is not enough post-modern and artistic enough, but only in this way can a normal story be restored, right? 23333

The story goes like this: the male protagonist and the female protagonist once loved, and the male protagonist was busy at the beginning, and the female protagonist gave up her career and pursued becoming a housewife willingly. But like all the once passionate and sincere feelings will decline, the male and female protagonist is experiencing a seven-year itch. Women are always delicate, sensitive, and insecure, the one who first feels the rupture and elapse of the relationship, while men are relatively dull and indifferent, choosing to avoid this fact. In the day after day lack of security and feelings fade, the heroine chose to find a male junior to cheat. It is certain that this relationship has no love element at all. It is nothing more than loneliness and sensuality. More, the heroine Desire to use derailment as a stimulus to the male protagonist, forcing him to admit that the relationship between the two has faded, and hopes that he can redeem it with enthusiasm. (If you don't understand the logic of this behavior, you can look at the bitter moon.) At first, the male protagonist was dull and didn't even notice, until a year later, he realized the breakdown of the marriage and resigned to start to restore it. Lying on the bed, the hostess asked with tears, "Do you think the relationship between us has faded?" The host is still dumb, "Huh? Why do you ask? Are you someone outside?" The subtext I didn’t cheat was, "The relationship problem is not because of cheating. I’m just having fun with cheating. It’s because you don’t love me like you did before."

The heroine couldn't bear it anymore, she decided to gradually draw a line from the heroine and chose to live apart, and she went to seek true love. The male protagonist later realized that he went to confront the male third, and then because men always felt that whoever had the older dick would have the upper hand in the relationship between the sexes, the male protagonist and the male third had a quarrel about "who lives well". During the separation process, the male protagonist continued to restore the female protagonist. At this time, the female protagonist has already touched the true love object, feeling a little spark, but has not completely forgotten the male protagonist. The heroine is very swaying, swaying to and fro in faith and chance. While the female protagonist is constantly shaking but still gradually falling in love with the true love object, the male protagonist also begins to waver, and he gradually loses patience and love for the female protagonist. In his eyes, the emotional behavior of the heroine being tortured by feelings is like crazy. Every time she goes home, she messes up the house and does not raise children. She is completely dereliction of duty as a wife (losing faith). Gradually, the male protagonist started to find chance for the women around him. For example, the female protagonist’s girlfriends were very sorrowful, and finally he met the next female protagonist who looked similar to the female protagonist but was purer and cuter. This next heroine is gentle and considerate, not mad, and takes care of the children first-class, making him seem to have found the sweetness when he met the heroine back then. The hero's love for the heroine gradually fades away. The film says "Why do you suddenly look ugly and old", naturally because he found a better next heroine. It is even more analogy of dying relationship with old dog. At this time, although love is gone, possessiveness and desire for control are still there, so he settled the male princess (actually, the male protagonist also knows that the male princess is just a consolation product) (interrupted male princess also discovered the female protagonist’s true love object and was shocked Lost "So you just played with me! Didn't my big* make you tempted?"), but suddenly discovered that the heroine had found the true love object (monster), and then the old dog turned dead. The male protagonist is awake and resigns to his fate. Ex-wife Xinhuan no longer looks like a monster, but the next male protagonist who belongs to her. As a result, the relationship between the two parties officially died (the male and female protagonists were shot to death in the film), leaving the next protagonist and next protagonist reborn to start a new cycle, a new relationship. At the end of the film, Bob, the child of the old man and woman, drowned himself, and also announced that their past feelings have completely disappeared.

*Supplement: I think that some people's interpretation of the next male protagonist is that the female protagonist trades with the devil, mates and produces a child and gives birth to a perfect male protagonist. Although it is not completely contradictory to my interpretation, I feel that there is actually no direct evidence in the original film to support "trading to give birth." But I also think that my interpretation version seems to be unable to point to the enchantment, but in fact it does not necessarily have to be the form of individual A being obsessed with individual B. Knowing that passion is perishable, human beings are always chasing the relationship between the sexes in the cycle of gain, loss, and gain. Is this also an obsession?

    To be rewatched / "Disease and madness are closer to God." Extremely obsessed with those twirling and jittery drug-like scenes and several starring neurotic performances. The shortcoming is probably not that the metaphor of voyeurism in the Cold War is more fully articulated. The rest should follow the logic of the camera and script. The sense of art is second only to "The Shining" in the horror movies I've watched so far. And if you don't study religion, you really can't read horror movies.

    The female is a lunatic professional, and the male is a devil professional. This actor is really picky!
