Just watched it, and it doesn't seem like there is anything left

Frankly speaking, I was a little disappointed after watching it, and I personally didn't like this movie very much. At least I think it's far worse than his "Into the House" (I only saw Ou Rong's film before, I like it very much), first of all, there is no doubt that this is a film with a strong sense of form, and even its form is bigger than The content, sophistication and coolness of form, including several daring or surreal sex scenes, perfect composition, frosty images and alienated characters, all come at the expense of the story itself. This sacrifice, I mean, the film whets the appetite in the first half, climaxes with the shooting of the heroine and the bloody hand sticking out of her stomach, and then it seems like it can only be attributed to psychotherapy or dream interpretation, which is true It did not meet my personal expectations for the reversal at all. It can be said that it did not achieve the unexpectedness of a suspense film. It is more like "Masquerade" and "The Lost Afternoon", which are more experimental surrealistic films, but if this film is understood as the director's artistic exploration, not a genre film, I have not watched it. To his breakthroughs in technology, structure and expression. Of course, what Ou Rong is good at is creating suspense and a tense atmosphere. These are still there. The viewing process is still tense and interesting. At the same time, the boundary between illusory dreams and reality is more blurred. It seems that the director did not want to explain clearly. , It seems that this time the filming is very personal and arbitrary, I would rather believe that the setting of twins, the stalk of devouring my sister, and the curiosity of psychotherapy are all out of the director's personal bad taste, rather than he wants to talk about a What a profound story about myself.

    6/10. The brothers in the mirror surrounded the female protagonist with guns is plagiarism [Miss Shanghai], the so-called stunning title where the pink uterus closes and quickly switches to the eyes, hehe, Mr. Jin Ji-de has already played it; the topic of rival twins, domination/dominated is rotten Suspicious of teeth, Ou Rong, who is full of sensuality, only symbolizes males as red roses and white roses in terms of moral development. The fear of childbirth is too cliché, and the ending of role-playing therapy is also very boring.
