The movie has 4 hours
As a movie narrated in the language of the camera lens, and as a movie that is not sloppy in the development of the plot, the best way to watch it is to eat and drink, empty the bladder, sit in front of the screen, from the publisher's logo at the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie. Make the table and read it in one go.
This experience reminded me of the above-mentioned "Once Upon a Time in America" which also has a long bladder slice and a slightly shorter
Of course, from the perspective of works, there is no other place to compare "Love Exposure" with these two films except for the length of the film.
But from a subjective point of view, "The Exposure of Love" is the same as the above two films, it is worth spending an afternoon to watch it, and you don't have to adjust yourself to watch literary films and pretend to be young or old. The pedant wants to study the classical epic narrative in the movies. This film only needs you to take time out, you can let it go or not let it go, and watch it and you are done. As long as you accept the setting of some mysterious and "inland empire" characters at the beginning, then the viewing experience will definitely not be good. would be too bad
Because on the surface this is a movie full of desire
The curiosity is like violence, the instinct is like sexual desire, and it also needs a little advanced, abstract external stimulation, such as music, these three general expressions of human nature, and these points are almost everywhere in the film
The movie begins with the death of the protagonist Yujun's mother. It is worth mentioning that the three protagonists of the whole film, Yu, Yoko and Gu Chi, all faced the lack of their mothers since childhood. According to the viewpoint that is always talked about now, "the father who disappeared on the way of growing up", The absence of a mother can directly amount to an orphan for a child. However, the roles of the three fathers in the character relationship given in the film did not completely disappear, but completely played a negative role. Yu's father devoted himself to Christianity after his wife's death and became a clergyman. He was extremely repressed by himself, but his desires could not be eliminated. The Xun, his repressed desire was completely broken and only took 6 minutes to show to the audience.
Based on this alone, maybe we can question the priest's qualifications, but the relationship with Xun and the plot of Xun's departure can only mean that the priest is just a somewhat abnormal ordinary person.
He can accept and enjoy cohabitation with Xun, but as a clergyman he has not considered marriage at all, as if that way he can maintain a kind of religious purity. Of course, smoked away.
The recovered priest was not at all uncomfortable. On the one hand, he was forced to close the opened Pandora's Box. On the other hand, he calmed down and realized that what he had done was contrary to his beliefs. He needs redemption.
But what is the method for such an unreliable priest to think of to redeem himself? By sacrificing your son, you will always hurt those closest to you. He needs to forgive many sins in order to achieve self-realization, but how can so many Christians use the prayer room to confess to this priest in such a small church? So Yu became a sinner who needs to repent to his father every day, and his father has also made it clear in the movie that even if you are thrifty, friendly and polite, it is useless. You are a bad boy and must be guilty. In such a situation, Youjun was stunned. To be critical, being a high school student shouldn't be the performance of a child. After being excellent, you will make up crimes every day, start doing some small evil, and then go on the road of no return to perverted crimes. Of course, this is not a legal program or Crime movies, this kind of setting is just a necessary characterization. Youjun is as innocent as a child, and the original purpose of doing evil is just to save his father. Even if he becomes a pervert who secretly photographed the bottom of his skirt, he has no evil desires-because he can only pursue Ma Ma who will spend his entire life searching for it. Leah while erect.
So he met Yoko.
Unlike Yu's innocence, Yoko has a rebellious understanding of the world and a father who is even more extreme than Yu's father. She has lived in a violent and erotic environment since childhood. In her eyes, men are big pigs' hooves. words of praise. Of course, she still has a favorite man, Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of nirvana, who hangs on the wall of the room in the camera. As for the reason, it was not shown in the script. Maybe in the director's mind, the band that only sang "rape me rape me" hysterically on the stage was a band that spoke up for women.
Yu met Yoko can be called a miracle of love at first sight. Yoko was besieged by a group of gangsters, and when she prayed to God before using violence, some ghost threw a pure white and flawless veil on her head like the Virgin Mary. So Yuu, who was not far away, felt his first erection, an erection from the depths of his heart.
You repelled the enemy for Yoko. You liked Yoko very much, and Yoko also liked You. This development is simply the finale of a vulgar third-rate idol drama, but after looking at the progress bar, the director said that this is often the case. In fact, the movie has just started to be released. force. Yes, this coincidence of encounter is accompanied by another coincidence. Youjun and Jiyou lose the bet that they will wear women's clothes to the street. I admit that it is indeed more vulgar than the end of the idol drama according to normal thinking at this time, but women's clothing, who doesn't like to watch a male and women's clothing?
So what Yoko likes is not Yu, but Yu's women's clothing personification, called Zusuli.
Seeing this, I thought that it would be too boring to spend the rest of the film talking about how these two people resolved their misunderstandings. Of course, the director must also think so, so he introduced the third main character Gu Chi.
Gu Chi's father is even more perverted. Although You's father was repressed and shied away his responsibilities, he also provided a good living environment before breaking up with Xun Nao; Yoko's father was alcoholic and violent, but he mostly ignored Yoko's existence and introduced Yoko to women who brought him home. Said "leave her alone"; while Gu Chi's father is different, he is a pervert in the true sense. Gu Chi has to deal with the sexual abuse of the president's father since he was a child, which makes Gu Chi extremely sick in his heart. Everything she experienced since she was a child was the fault of desire, so she broke off her father's "root of sin" and searched for cognition in the cult, especially after meeting Yu and Yoko.
So far, the three have established a complete connection, and the director of the subsequent plot development can be said to let go to "pervert".
Yu's pursuit is to secretly take pictures of committing the deepest sin and go to confession to his father with a happy face and how to get Yoko;
After Yoko met Zuo Suli, she lived without self, thinking about Zuo Suli, she also thought that there would be no love for a pervert like Yu
Gu Chi is infatuated with Yu, a naive young man who pursues evil with a pure heart, and a young man who regards Maria as his natural desire and belief, which really surprised her. But Gu Chi is not a normal person, just like the love relationship in Wang Shuo's book "Half is Fire, Half is Seawater", the love between criminals and students, because of the mismatch between the two's identities and roles, it will lead to changes in order to run in, and the flame becomes Sea water, sea water becomes fire. In layman's terms, "don't try to reason with a fool, because he will pull you to the same level and beat you with rich experience" that was popular on the Internet.
So Gu Chi used the priest of Yu's father's priesthood to persuade the cult to mess up everything, telling Yoko that he was Sasori, telling Yoko that Yu was a pervert who secretly photographed the bottom of other people's skirts, establishing a delicate love relationship with Yoko, abandoning Yu, and adding him to him. The family around him is drawn into a cult.
Gu Chi doesn't believe it, why is this pervert different from her? She wants to turn Yu into another person, or her puppet.
But when the climax of the plot development in the penultimate act of the movie was Yuu who blew up the cult for Yoko and carried out a massacre in women's clothing inside the cult, he never became someone else.
Gu Chi felt that his efforts were in vain, his worldview collapsed and he committed suicide;
Yoko is like Shinji in Eva, when the world was destroyed, when she was holding Asuka when she was holding Yu, her thoughts may be the same as that of Asuka at that time, "Don't come near me again, you will only hurt me, you have never liked people, you I didn't even like myself."
In the end, Yu was sent to a psychiatric hospital because of a mental disorder, and Yoko was sent to a relative's house for foster care. The last chapter may be that the director is afraid of being sent a blade. Yoko's calmness and change of concept are a bit too simple, but after watching the violent, erotic, family ethics, homosexuality and other explosive content in the first 3 hours, I want the director to arrange a little bit for the audience Desserts are totally fine.
In the end, Yoko redeemed Yu, and the last close-up of the camera stops at the hands of the two breaking the gap and clenching again.
As a final digression, the music in the film is very good, all from the ゆらゆら Empire, oil pulling oil pulling, sobbing and sobbing. In addition to the hodgepodge of curiosity, this movie also has a touch of perverted sadness in the movie.
