If you were friends with one of the twins, you would always have the other one in mind.
As if they were not complete people, they had to think of another to prove the reality of the one in front of them.
Because of scarcity, our curiosity about twins at a young age may continue into adulthood.
Maybe the focus is different.
When we are young, we wonder if they have telepathy, and will the parents make them wrong?
When I grew up, this curiosity was basically limited to the fact that the friend who married the twins as a wife was with the sister-in-law to the end: huh? How do you get along?
People's focus is sometimes so strange (wo) wonderful (chuo).
Otherwise, some venues will not use double-fly twin flowers as their signature products... Right.
"Two-Faced Lover", a French wind and moon film, very rigorously analyzes what it is like to fall in love with twins.
Director François Ou Rong has always studied the strange feelings of the world, and has never been afraid to directly present love scenes in the film.
Moreover, these scenes of his are all in service to emotions or plots, and you will not only remember the posture of the male and female protagonists after watching the film.
Your whole body and mind will be drawn into their destiny.
Reminder: Spoilers below!!!
The heroine, Chloe, played by model-turned-Marion Vacott, is a girl who is in a state of depression.
She always had stomach pains, and the doctor couldn't check for anything wrong and suggested she see a psychiatrist.
After a period of treatment, she and Paul, a psychiatrist, fell in love.
Later, she discovers that Paul also has a twin brother, Louis, who is also a psychiatrist.
Before the big baggage at the end of the film comes out, the film has always been about her emotional entanglement with the twin brothers.
Paul was gentle and kind, and Louis was rough and direct.
As the plot progresses, Chloe's desire gradually opens up, expands, and becomes uncontrollable.
And with the escalation of its desires, the love scenes of the movie are becoming more and more exciting.
In the beginning, it was just a sweet daily snap between lovers.
Then, there is the greedy fantasy of the double dragon play phoenix.
Then, it was the brother Louis who played the trick of wanting to catch himself.
Subsequently, Chloe's dream of stealing love finally came true.
Is that the end of it?
No, there's also Louis's "Rue Drinking Blood" during Her Aunt Chloe's visit.
And, Chloe puts on a fake Tintin and greets Paul's chrysanthemum...
Of course, for the veteran drivers who have read countless films, these are only plain drizzle.
However, some of Ou Rong's shooting methods are extremely bold, and even the old driver may not have seen it.
For example, he will take a large close-up of an important organ of the human body, which is very large, invincible, and large enough to make you feel abstract.
For example, when the climax comes, Ou Rong will probe the camera into the human body and shoot that thrilling moment.
In Ou Rong's case, such a shooting method is not for the purpose of sensationalism or curiosity.
It's directly about the theme of the movie —
gestate.
The focus of this movie is neither the glamorous scenes nor the heroine's dilemma, but the relationship between the twins.
The relationship between twins is a competitive relationship that begins from the moment of the mother's womb.
They are like sperm who must fight to gain the right to live.
It must be fought to get more nutrition and dominance in the womb.
Louis was born 2.4 kilograms, but Paul was less than 2 kilograms.
Louis, like most babies, came out of the womb first, but Paul came out with his feet first.
This rivalry continued until they grew up.
Paul finds a girlfriend, Sandra, and Louis takes her first night.
Because of this dispute, Sandra raised a gun to commit suicide, attempted, and has since collapsed on the bed.
Paul and Louis, on the other hand, broke off their brotherly relationship and died without contact.
When one of the two competitors is in an absolutely dominant position, the strong will even swallow the embryo of the weaker.
He will be the only one, but carry the inheritance chromosomes of the two twins.
Some people are born with the incomplete carcass of their twin brother or sister.
In scientific terms, this carcass is called a parasitic fetus.
In order to explain this disease, the film specially set up a prop - tortoiseshell cat.
99% of tortoiseshell cats are female cats with two suits.
The very small number of male cats has three suits, all of which are the products of the merger of twins.
Chloe's stomach ache is actually because she has a parasitic fetus in her belly.
When the big baggage of the movie comes out, we learn that Paul's twin brother, Louis, was fantasized by Chloe herself.
Sandra, too, came from Chloe's fantasy.
The other is the mirror, and what Chloe sees from Paul and Louis is actually her relationship with her own twin sister/sister.
Subconsciously, she harbors a deep sense of guilt for her sister/sister, and through fantasy, she is justifying her cruelty at the time.
At the end of the film, the doctor removes the vegetation from Chloe's abdomen, but mentally, she is still haunted by her older sister/sister.
Obviously, ou rong's focus in this movie is mainly on human psychology.
Natural selection, the survival of the best, because of competition, the map of life on the earth is what it is today.
And competition has caused most of the mental illness in this world.
By nature, we are hostile to all the dissidents around us.
On the other hand, we want to be attached, we want to avoid competition, we want help from others.
These two diametrically opposed needs, both designed to take their place in the world, fuel a never-ending conflict within us.
Chloe's problem is that she can't reconcile these two needs.
She won the competition, but she couldn't accept the victory because she wanted to win the loser's liking.
The solution is... Monk.
Or, try to recognize our dilemma and then accept our limitations.
We can't always be winners, we can't make everyone like us, and we can't be both winners and likable.
Only by recognizing this and making efforts to restore the balance of the mind can we find the right direction.
