There are many movies about love, and "Teeth of Love" is different, it is painful and powerful in the performance of love, the ontological connection between love and pain is expressed, with metaphysical depth and meaning, giving people a double blow of feelings and reason, the movie "Teeth of Love" and many literary and artistic works, tell the life of a woman, can also be called "pain history".
The film depicts Qian Yehong's three emotional experiences in a peaceful and delicate way, and in the production, it is extremely complete around the theme of physical pain, touching on the complex topic rarely expressed in Chinese films - the relationship between emotional pain memories and the body.
The promotional poster of the film reads: "Love creates pain, pain imprints memory, memory witnesses love"
The director also said in an interview that "pain is a shortcut to love." ”
Therefore, many people will understand the movie as "love is like a tooth that bites people and will bring pain", so "the tooth is just a gimmick, which directly means the pain of love." "After all, teeth, the hardest but most fragile organ of the body, are like love.
Among Qian Yehong's three emotional experiences, the first paragraph is the most romantic and hasty:
Set in the late 1970s, at the turn of the old and new eras, the film accurately presents that restless and repressive era with gray tones, curved alleys, and restless youth.
Qian Yehong's ignorant youthful restlessness is disguised by violence, her outfit, her two-eight bicycle, and her rejection of the "fox spirit" classmates, all hide the increasingly strong emotional needs of adolescence. On the surface, the movie looks very much like the sister article of "Sunny Day", after all, Qian Yehong's female "big sister" image reverses Ma Xiaojun's male image.
But unlike Ma Xiaojun's happy youth experience, Qian Yehong's youth violence is full of pain.

The entanglement between her and He Xuesong in the first paragraph led to the old problem of her back that would hurt when it rained on a cloudy day.
At that time, she was the girl leader of a middle school, and she and the girls she led had always strictly followed the customs of the time - no private contact with boys. However, a girl named Lin Jie committed this crime and was immediately isolated by Qian Yehong...
So when a shy boy, He Xuesong, handed the love letter to Qian Yehong's hand, she did not hesitate in the slightest and read the letter in front of her classmates. So all the ridicule rushed to He Xuesong, and he ran out of the classroom with his self-esteem damaged, and soon came back, but what everyone did not expect was that he slowly walked to Qian Yehong's side and came to Qian Yehong's back with a brick...
The vague memory of this youth is not a concrete and real emotional exchange, but the pain of the bricks smashed on the body, or the only thing that can be remembered about this youth is pain.

Later, Qian Yehong and Meng Han's second relationship began, after she became an adult, Qian Yehong, who thought she knew love, ushered in her self-righteous love in the college internship stage, due to the budding of female consciousness and the rapid expansion of mentality, plus when she was in the hospital internship, she was teased by her first main knife appendicitis patient, she also forgot the pain of her first love, and threw herself into the love that was destined to end in sadness.
Because the man has a family... Qian Yehong, knowing that Meng Han had a family, still took the initiative to throw herself into his love embrace, and endured the pain of "abortion" and "punishment" alone for such love.
Pregnant with the girl's first love of the young man to go to the middle-aged man's unit to find him, indulged in his side, Qian Yehong only knows that her back is actually not painful, about the pregnancy, she also resolutely chose to do her own abortion surgery, whether it is an indirect abortion, or a running abortion that tries her best, as if these have nothing to do with the man. The long shots of the abortion and the picture without background music show the cold surgical tools, blood, screams, and sweat in front of the audience, making people feel empathy.
When the matter was revealed, Qian Yehong also took the initiative to take on everything and said: "I like him, I took the initiative to seduce him." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">③</h1>
Finally, to the third relationship, compared to the previous two paragraphs, the third paragraph is more unfazed, after all, a woman has exhausted her strength for love, her next choice will be a little more stable, Qian Yehong chose to find a home for herself, through blind dates met the good man Wei Yingqiu, a good man of secular values. Subsequently, she lived a plain and watery life, almost numb.
In this marriage, Qian Yehong has no obvious pain, and the disappearance of pain also means the weakness and exhaustion of emotions, interestingly, in the third period of relationship, Qian Yehong, who entered the married life, began to have back pain when it rained on a cloudy day.
From blind dates to marriage, from separation to living together, from the birth of a child to growing up, from living in silence to quarreling and divorcing, the narrative rhythm of the third paragraph begins to become faster, and some of them are brushed over, making the whole story, although ups and downs, but it looks bland, and the story of Qian Yehong and Wei Yingqiu does not have too many highlights, so that "trivial has no memory." ”
They also thought about injecting pain, they slapped each other, as if to wake up the numb life and emotions, Wei Yingqiu said: "Only pain can make me remember you." In fact, his subtext is: "Without pain, there is no love, there is no memory." "Sometimes people crave pain deep in their souls, because pain can save people from their bland comfort zone.
So in the third relationship, Wei Yingqiu's "self-harm" style pulled out one of his teeth, just because Qian Yehong said that this tooth was good-looking.
This passage reminds people of the allusion that Prince Dan of Yan gave Jing Ke a "beautiful hand":
Just because Jing Ke admired her beautiful hands, Prince Dan of Yan asked someone to cut off the beautiful woman's hand and give it to Jing Ke.
The story sounds bloody and cruel, but one of the realizations contained in this bloodiness is that the body part of a person can also be given to others as gifts, and more than any other gift, of course, once the body parts leave the body, there is no life, there is no beauty to speak of, but the symbol of this gift itself is incomparably grand.
Jing Ke would feel from those bloody hands how he was being valued by Prince Dan of Yan.
And Wei Yingqiu's move is also the last blow he made in the "two-person war" of marriage, full of despair, wanting to let the other party experience the final uneasiness and shock, at least Qian Yehong showed shock and physical disgust when she saw this gift.
Yan Bingyan, who plays the heroine, said: Love is like teeth, and you can't extricate yourself.
Indeed, there is not a saying that is good: toothache is not a disease, it hurts really badly!
Wei Yingqiu is born with Qian Yehong from the name, but the two met too late, love and being loved, paying and gaining, are not the same, because there is pain, we can be closer to love, because there is pain, let us have more thinking.
Her love, giving her wisdom teeth growing the same pain, what about yours?
