I don't know why the director named the old boy, but careful consideration may also be the central interpretation of the film. This boy (not a man) is already old.
What is the difference between boys and men? It is responsibility. Wu Daxiu was a child until his death. The reckless long tongue in middle school led to the death of a girl. He felt that he had no responsibility. I remember watching a Korean movie about a man B who was deeply in love with a tall and slender Korean-American girl A. He heard that A was sleeping with another drunk man, and he seemed to be abandoned in the end. He shouted angrily and hysterically: How can you and He's together, he's just a kid. "Wu Daxiu was just a child. He grew up drinking alcohol for a long time in his adulthood, and lived a life of ignorance. After being locked up and released, the first sentence was why he was shutting me down. This kind of childish question, in the end, wanted to hypnotize himself to forget that he was a monitor, but he didn't. , he is still the ""animal", but his temples are gray. This story is also a fresh idea, that is, incest. I don't agree with some film critics who say that the disadvantages of incest are as simple as giving birth to deformed children, and incest is a terrible The fact is that he and the child are both father and son, uncle and nephew, how should I define this strange life, and Xiuzhen said before her death: We know we are sister and brother, but we can still love each other, can you do it, Xiuzhen feels incest even when she dies It's not shame but enjoyment. It seems that rich people's children think ""avant-garde". In fact, I always have a little doubt about why Xiuzhen wants to be with her sister. I think this is a flaw in the film, just because Xiuzhen said two Do people just love each other? I think this is an excuse for rich children to seek excitement. It is normal to taste the forbidden fruit in middle school. After all, they are all sixteen or seventeen, but why did he choose his sister, and the sister should choose him? I think They are not true love, but are seeking excitement. After all, rich people think that nothing is fun, but he did not expect the appearance of a child like Wu Daxiu to ruin everything. There are no ifs for many things. It's not the so-called fate, there are no assumptions in life, happiness is always accompanied by tragedy, blessings and misfortunes, joy and sorrow, God just wants to put a boy with a long tongue to spoil all the beauty, and for the boy with a long tongue, God will give him A fierce source asked him to break the news and give him a painful second half of his life. Is this considered cause and effect? I always feel that this film is about cause and effect. A stone sinks like water. Whether your tongue is intentional or not, its consequences are just as bad. No matter what kind of tongue you have, he is a fucking bad person. Sex will bring people a sense of shame, and incestuous sex will bring people a sense of shame, such as Qin Keqing and her father-in-law, this is the original sin. There is a manifestation of original sin in everyone, even a saint. And mortals like us don't have to say it!The original sin is sealed in the secret place of the heart, and a big factor for releasing the original sin is that we all have some kind of psychological defect. When a certain external force hits this defect, everyone may lose their reason in an instant and fall into degeneration. for the lunatic. From a philosophical point of view, religions are all spiritual collections based on people's inner needs, and they all have certain similarities. The Western thought of original sin is also similar to the sin of reincarnation in Chinese and Indian Buddhism, both satisfying people’s devout belief in karma, and satisfying human beings’ spiritual destination for unexplained phenomena and sudden disasters. The bolded part is the explanation of the original sin from the interactive encyclopedia. I think this film has a certain religious factor, such as the Catholic school, such as the angel's wings that appeared twice, once on the shoulders of Daxiu, once on the shoulders of the daughter Mei Dao, whether it is Sha or Stones sink like water, no matter if you are a minor or not, they are all unforgivable sins, and the punishment is the same, so the boy named Wu Daxiu who hangs upside down on the school railing has experienced the cause and effect of this cycle of reincarnation. , he is old, still childishly begging the hypnotist to forget the fact that he and Mei Dao are father and daughter, but he doesn't know that the cause planted by the long tongue will take a lifetime to taste its evil results, even if he knows he is wrong, but he doesn't. Knows how to redeem the mistake, because in the end he doesn't know why he was wrong. So he is an old boy, and this boy is old, old with his sins.
