Lucy is a college student. This is the beginning of the story, and when a college student connects with a tragic family background, there is always a lot of interesting content. This is probably what first attracted me.
The shot switching of the whole film is actually very incoherent, at least I didn't understand it. And the continuity of the story is also lacking. The story involves several scenes where Lucy is a subject in a laboratory, next to a printer, in a rented house, at her boyfriend's house, at a silver service place, a fancy bar, a university, a part-time job.
If in order to establish a connection to this scene, or the inner logic. So the story goes like this: Lucy is a college student, a girl with a miserable family background, so she has to do various part-time jobs, working as a waiter in a restaurant, and doing odd jobs in a company. There are actually contrasting jobs in the two places. , Lucy had at least a friendly boss when she was a waiter, but when she was in the company, the person in charge of her was indifferent to Lucy, which was reflected in one call from her mother, the woman kept staring at Lucy with crossed hands , conveying a condescending and refusing attitude. The landlord is an indifferent person who has no sympathy at all. He urged Lucy to make up the arrears of rent again and again and let her do housework. There is an interesting place here. The landlord lives with his girlfriend, and the men in other scenes are Alone, their attitude towards Lucy was at least not so resistant and tough. These are all depicting Lucy's unfortunate life experience, but from here I also feel that ucy is a strong girl, she will know how to swallow her popularity, and adjust her attitude in this confrontation, neither flattering nor showing weakness. This also fully shows that she is a smart girl.
At the same time, in her college life, in fact, a lot of it is to describe life outside the campus, and the experience in the school is only for a few seconds in the classroom and in the laboratory. This is also to show Lucy's attitude towards the school, not disgusting but not paying attention. If the classroom is to reflect her identity as a college student, then the laboratory experience is partly to reflect the embarrassment of her life and to ease the effect of the plot.
One part of this movie is actually a highlight that she is at her boyfriend's house. She can be seen in her behavior at the bar as a self-indulgent and slutty woman, but at her boyfriend's house, she shows a kind of humility, Contented and reserved. I don't know why women behave like this in this regard, but I'm willing to take a wild guess. It's like a sailor who is often adventurous. When he arrives on land, he enjoys the comfortable atmosphere of life on land, but at the same time he Life on the ocean reluctantly, like that kind of excitement.
The last part is to describe her new job, doing all kinds of pornographic services for others. There is a rule to beautify this profession, that is, "the vagina is the temple". But their contempt for her dignity was reflected in all the requests and a "mistake" at a party. Lucy doesn't resist or resent it at all, perhaps because she has always used her body as a tool, or her understanding of self-esteem doesn't hurt. When she asked when she could do it with those bosses, she used to think that she was angry and humiliated when she finally faced an old man who died next to her. Step by step, she changed from a waiter to a sleeping girl. She was curious about this job, of course, it was also for the huge pay at first, but in the end she became interested in everything that happened, and from the beginning, she became a working girl who swallowed her voice. A girl who made a request to her boss. It was money and her aptitude that gave her courage.
Lucy is a person who yearns for love, she likes to be with his boyfriend, but she is also a woman who is not at ease, she is strong, but also vulnerable, she is slutty, but she is pitiful, she is unhappy happy woman.

    It's boring, I don't know what to say, beautiful young and fair ketone body + perverted old man? What do you want to express? Nothing at all

    For unknown literary and artistic films, the director’s so-called "author's film" is completely self-talking. The only thing that can be seen in the film is the nudity of the bitter girl. As for the old man’s desire and the theme of death, it seems loose and weak, repeating "sleeping" again and again. The section of "Beauty" is also boring due to repetition, that is, there is no self-discipline of the girl, no deep thematic exploration, only cheap eroticism. ★★
