Castration Complex in Lost Highway

Originally wanted to watch David Lynch's "Blue Velvet", but couldn't find resources on the Internet, but found his "Wasn in the Night" on Youku. From the beginning to the end, it is really Freud. The mysteries are coming one after another, making people overwhelmed, and the ending is still confusing.

After concluding the curtain, I suddenly found that from beginning to end, it was clear that he was only talking about the castration complex of a middle-aged man, and about the huge shadow his impotence had caused on his psychology.

At the beginning, renee and fred were XXOO together. Later, it turned out to be thunder and rain. Renee patted fred's back like a mother coaxing a child, softly comforting "it's ok~it's ok" , Let fred feel the loss of dignity. Later, fred even found out that he was wearing a green hat and finally killed Renee and her lover. However, in such a simple revenge incident, Fred, who lost his dignity, turned the facts upside down during self-hypnosis. In fred’s fantasy, fred is no longer a cuckold, impotent middle-aged husband, but a young, strong, and suave pete dave with two feet; Renee is no longer a wife who has an affair, but is transformed into a triad boss. My lover, Alice, is willing to betray the boss and follow Pete to the world...

This is a bit like the protagonist of the split personality in the fight club. In reality, the weak and incompetent, suppressed people who have nowhere to release, finally sink into their own fantasy and incarnate into their own desires. Ideal personality. Everything is so Freud~~
