The film uses eroticism as an extreme expression to arouse people's thoughts about human beings, society, and the times. Dark, gloomy tones (nature), empty and far-reaching scenes (city), thrilling and exciting drag racing (mechanical), crazy, straightforward sex (human). All of this is to express the director's thinking on the relationship between sex and machinery in modern society: the collision between people satisfies people's sexual desires, and the ultimate goal is the climax, but the collision between cars causes Accidents, disasters, and even death occur in the highly mechanized industrial (mechanical) society. Is sexual desire, the root of all human actions, facing devastating damage? In the film, the director used the words "Vaughan" to say this: "A car accident is a rebirth rather than destruction." It liberates sexual vitality. Only through the process of death stimulation can this ability be released freely. "

People are always looking for something new Only by stimulating oneself can one feel alive and find the value and meaning of life's existence. For example, some people pursue fame, some people are obsessed with money, and some people are addicted to sensuality. The only difference is that each person pursues in different directions and ways. Some are recognized by mainstream values, while others are indeed not recognized. Human beings have physical and psychological thresholds, and they gain pleasure in the process of constantly surpassing themselves, but this pleasure is temporary, so people will fall into a never-ending breakthrough.

    If that's not porn, then I don't know what's porn... There's still a certain gap between Ballard's original book, which is too erotic and a little too much.
