"She is naked, not the original nude image.
She is naked, as naked as the viewer sees it."
-John Berger

"I Serve the King of England" This rich and interesting movie is actually only Two images, one is a wealthy old man, and the other is a beautiful woman's body.

Staring at a woman's body so naturally and innocently, perhaps only a teenager and an old man in his seventies can do it. Indeed, because Jerry Munzer, an old Czech man,’s viewing method is like a farmer staring at the ripe apples hanging on the branches, none of these blushing apples is not perfectly round and pure, and none is not. The cooked ones are just right, no one is not showing a sweet smile, and no one is not shining in the sun. And all you want to do is look, not rudely take it off the branches to satisfy your tongue and teeth.

A woman is born to be an object of observation, and as she grows up she quickly gets used to this role and tries her best to show her beauty. Since the observer of this display is male, the way of this display is also in accordance with the way males view it. From the perspective of traditional European oil paintings of the four centuries from 1500 to 1900, the woman's body was made into a work of art in accordance with the will of the man for the male capitalist to collect and show off as private property. The images of these women's bodies look round and full, elegant and calm, and the kind of eyes that squint and look at the viewer outside the painting are actually not much different from the bewitching and charming images in modern advertisements that directly evoke the sexual desires of men. . But in other words, it is also male artists who really create the beauty of women's bodies. Although the few female artists are unwilling to fit this aesthetic system, the resistance and deconstruction they create with their bodies are powerless.

Catherine Breillat's "Roman History" and "Hell Anatomy" are examples. Although women have been fighting for the initiative and rights for themselves, this struggle is still carried out in accordance with the rules of the patriarchal society. The active nudity of the beautiful female body and the willing acceptance of male violence in Catherine Breja’s films have already recognized the rights of men, while men both desire and hate women.

A few years ago, I felt that men’s attitudes towards women could only have two extremes, one is worship, and the other is disgust, and classified themselves as the former, but later I gradually discovered that this is a contradiction to the relationship between the sexes and cannot be separated. . Regarding the interpretation of this relationship, Wang Xiaobo has made it very clear in his "Golden Age" that Chen Qingyang does need two slaps on his ass to confirm his love for Wang Er. So it is obvious that the only outlet for a relationship between the sexes is sadomasochism.

Back to the video, I have to mention Buñuel’s "Day Beauty", which is the best female film I have ever seen. Bunuel doesn’t use strong sensory stimulation to talk about things. He feels sick even when naked kissing scenes appear on the screen; the images he creates about dreams and fantasy are amazing, take "Day Beauty" as an example. , The female masochistic fantasy scene inside is calm and powerful. It is "120 Days of Sodom" (showing the distortion under the strong will to power, the woman's body is a malicious captive pet and experimental subject in the film) and " "Sweet Movie" (the chocolate beauty in the film is a one-in-a-million maiden champion, but has been lost in this commercial and material society) is unmatched.

Going back to "I Serve the King of England", the woman's body is shining with the warm light of motherhood in the film. The little Dieter is always like a naughty child. Only memories and absurd tone can make images. It is the simplicity and beauty produced by the texture of this memory that can immerse the audience in the worship of women.
