In the movie "Chongqing Forest", the fragmented desires of urban men and women are vividly interpreted, and it is covered with the veil of "love" by psychedelicity. The relationship between men and women in the film is presented one by one in different forms of fragments. In the busy and rapid footsteps of the city, a man and a woman bumped into each other in the dark alley. The female killer and the policeman Awu met in this way. The drama of love opens the curtain full of drama and romance from this distance of 0.01 and is not grounded.
01. Police Officer Awu and Female Killer:
Cop Awu broke up after five years with his ex-girlfriend, and he was immersed in the sadness of missing his ex-girlfriend May. Awu's way of honoring his ex-girlfriend, May, is to buy a box of canned pineapples every day, and the expiration date is May 1st. The day the can expired was also the day he had agreed with himself to let go of his ex-girlfriend. He looks like an adult in front of his ex-girlfriend's family, but he is at a loss like a child in the face of his ex-girlfriend who broke up with him.
The female killer wears a conspicuous Marilyn Monroe-style blonde wig, a dangling sky, and a raincoat. Avant-garde image, elegant high heels, pistol hidden in a raincoat, the appearance of sunglasses at night, the job of finding Indians to sell drugs... He has no name, but appears on the screen in fragments, shrouding her identity in a mist. Avant-garde and perseverance are her appearance, and the unknown identity is the unfathomable depth of her trance-like attraction like water.
The two meet in a bar, and Wu's reason is very simple, in order to forget his ex-girlfriend, he sets a clue for himself, and according to the clue " the first woman to come in" to deliberately contact the female killer. In Ah Wu's heart, in order to get a little certainty about his feelings, he set himself a task as if he had completed his homework. Whether it is after the breakup, not to face the reality of the breakup, or to set an emotional task for himself, Awu is obviously childish. It is difficult for him to return to the reality of the present and face the actual situation on the basis of facts. The interaction of conversations with the female killer in the bar also hints at this,
Ask the other person if they like to eat pineapple? At least for a moment, it was as if he had put his attention on the female killer on the other side, but the feeling in his heart was still stuck in the ex-girlfriend's feeling of liking to eat pineapple. So a person in his imagination can't judge what the person on the other side needs, even if the person on the other side is no longer an ex-girlfriend, but he will still treat the woman on the other side the way he treats his ex-girlfriend.
The female killer looks very capable and cheerful in her heart, sure what are you going to do? How many manpower are needed? How to do it, the planning is very clear... But when a group of Indians cheated her of drugs, it also shows that behind her overconfidence, she is actually unclear about reality. Handing over her business to a group of identityless Indians reminds her of her own identitylessness.
So this time the female killer and Ah Wu met at the bar. Both are unclear about reality, both live in the illusion of self-deception, and both meet after encountering all the violent buckles of reality. People who have a hard time accepting what is happening in the reality of the moment meet unexpectedly in the occasion of buying a drunken bar, which symbolizes indulgence, corresponding to their falling into a monistic emotional.
Ah Wu and the female killer, two emotional people, are difficult to have a relationship. They were thinking about their own things. When the female killer is drunk, Awu takes her to the hotel room. The two were alone in a room, and Awu had eaten 30 cans and four more salads as he faced the female killer lying next to him. Until Ah Wu was about to leave, he saw the high heels on the female killer's feet. He suddenly remembered what her mother had said, that women would be very uncomfortable wearing high heels, so they took off their high heels for each other. At this time, like a mother, he saw the baby-like needs of the female killer, that is, after he needed to be taken care of to his physical feelings, the female killer gave Ah Wu a birthday greeting that was just what he needed before leaving. Being alone in a space creates a bond between two people.
Two people who are intrinsically very similar will meet after encountering the same event. From the point of view of quantum interference, it is like two unrelated atoms, after meeting, a connection is established, and when this connection is established, the change of one side is related to the change of the other party. From the point of view of primitive biology, it is also called telepathy. This kind of telepathy is often referred to as "heart-to-heart", fascinating and dreamy. Behind the sharp heart points to the most common experience of an infant in the early stages of the univided relationship with the mother.
That is to say, between Ah Wu and the female killer, their relationship form points to the relationship between mother and baby. A night of encounters, hasty glimpses, . So here the first fragment of love is unveiled: the pursuit of the original feeling, which is actually a highly integrated, indistinguishable experience of mutual indistinguishable. In order to sustain this experience, then the relationship in the present needs to be sacrificed. Because it is too rare, it can only survive the imagination.
The relationship that is difficult to maintain for a long time is a fragment of the mother-child relationship.
02. Passionate and lustful blonde man wig blonde woman:
The blonde man in the film seems to be a gangster, and he doesn't speak the whole time, but he also shows his face several times. The longer film clip is his interaction with a dressed woman in a black rose, who steps on high heels, swings her posture, and takes a wig similar to that of the female killer, walks over to the blonde man and wears the wig on her head. When the woman in the rose dress put on the wig, the blonde man kissed each other furiously and had sex quickly. What can obviously be seen here is that this blonde wig greatly arouses the lust of the blonde man. Why?
It seems that just a blonde wig can set the blonde man on fire. With the expression of releasing sexual desire and lust, he began to burn his life passionately. The blonde wig seems to point to the female killer, and perhaps we can guess that the blonde man has lust for the female killer. So when the woman in the rose dress put on the blonde wig, he used the woman as a stand-in for the female killer. So here we can fully see that desire is connected in the form of a signifier, which is like a grafting technique that blurs the distinction between another person and the person in the present. And just a blonde wig can "instantly detonate" the blonde man, which shows that his imagination is very rich. Returning to the principle of atomic interference, the blonde man can produce such a strong feeling, so eager to have a sexual relationship with the female killer, and the resonance between them is very deep. So it's not hard to understand that when the blonde man had just finished having a relationship with a woman with a blonde wig, the director borrowed a clever metaphor to reveal the nature of their relationship.
Borrowing a dot -like (golden wig) stimulus can ignite a person's sexual desire and put it into action, and devote themselves to a relationship blending, which is the characteristic of a person who is immersed in a sense of monism. One point is all he has! And people who are too immersed in the sense of unity, their unconscious is also more acute. Of course, here it is only the unconscious keenness, not his conscious sharpness. The blonde man opened a can of cans, the expiration time of the can was May 1st, when May 1st came, the can was opened to feed the cat, the can was eaten by the cat, the female killer came from behind him at dawn and broke dawn, and the blonde man's life was also "eaten in one bite", and the blonde man's life was ended by a shot. A person will always appear too hot and intense before dying, returning to the light, saying such a truth.
So for all blonde men at one point, the time the can is opened is the expiration date of the can, and it is also the death date of the blonde man. In this regard, the blonde man is similar to Awu. The blonde man's "blonde wig" and Awu's greeting, both for them, are a dot-like stimulus pair equal to all (eternity). The price the blonde man paid was his life, and that was all he had. Ah Wu paid the expectation of "ten thousand years", a mortal, who has ten thousand years of life? So it was tantamount to giving away the whole of his life.
The mystery of the second fragment of love is also lifted: the desire for a high degree of integration and the inner cognition of equating one point to the totality of this fragment of love comes from the primal dissatisfaction of the mother-child relationship.
So what is love?
03. Police 663 with fast food restaurant girl Affy
Police officer 663 goes to the same fast food restaurant every day and buys the same fish and chips for his girlfriend for a late-night snack. For emotion, 663 is obviously not as transparent as fast food restaurant owners. He always guessed what his girlfriend liked according to his own tastes. There was no inquiry or negotiation, and it seemed very determined and single-minded. In fact, it can also be said that he is blind. Ah Fei was slowly fascinated by 663, or silently secretly looked at 663 in the distance, or deliberately kept a distance. 663 and Affy clearly moved forward a little bit on top of the first two pairs. At least they are able to create a little bit of relationship in reality in the way of communicating in words that goes into the rules.
In the movie, it seems that 663, who is a policeman, is very nostalgic for being a flight attendant's ex-girlfriend. The nostalgia here is presented in the way 663 always talks to dolls and towels. 663 seemed very lonely after his ex-girlfriend left, and he kept talking to dolls and towels. He knew that the dolls and objects would not respond to him in any way, just as he knew that his ex-girlfriend would not respond to him after leaving a letter.
The fast food restaurant girl Affie's love for 663 began when she learned about 663's specialty. She would look at him silently, silently understand him, all of which was silent. She sneaked into 663's house to silently do something that seemed to be of concern, without asking 663 or telling the other party. There is no doubt that at this point, she is very similar to the way 663 treats her ex-girlfriend. A person who has no one in sight will only attract another person who has no one in sight. Both were just immersed in their own amusement. Intrusive I thought you liked or I guessed you liked, for subjective bringing in. And instead of speaking through words, but using an action-oriented approach to approach the other party with self-righteous behavior, its nature is undoubtedly invasive.
The encounter between the police officer Ah Wu and the female killer is only a quick glance, because the killer and the police identities are not at odds, a quick glance is more acceptable. Police 663, who meets a girl at a fast food restaurant, is based on a fast food. Fast food is comforted by busy people, taste is not so important, choice is not so important, more consideration is affordable. So their encounter is like fast food, unveiling the essence of the relationship at the beginning with a metaphorical allegory.
The affordable fast food restaurant girl Ah Fei is actually a substitute in the position of the former fast food restaurant working girl. 663 originally wanted to ask out another girl when she was lonely, and the other girl was also like a fast food, and the first person to come was the first to board the appointment. Under the persuasion of the owner of the fast food restaurant, 663 first changed his taste, and then asked the first girl to work in the fast food restaurant. This behavior change prompts 663, in fact, do not know what you want? Because we all know that if you really like someone, or a certain taste, you will not easily change your mind because of what other people say, because in the real preferences there is a deep need that we bet on the preferences, and it is difficult to give up easily. Only when you don't know what you want and where your needs are, you will be particularly susceptible to external influences.
Affie's liking for 663 is only hidden in her heart and is not easily revealed. The way he shows love is very childish, until he is secretly bumped into by 663 in 663's home. This real encounter—her own shame as an interloper, being discovered by someone she likes— makes her run away. When 663 reacts, Ah Fei's care for her, here is an opportunity for 663 to face the reality of the moment, that is, she has broken up with her ex-girlfriend and the girl who seems to have an urgent desire for him. For a person who doesn't know exactly what he wants, being liked and desired is the most fascinating poison. So 663 quickly went to find Ah Fei and offered to date her. Looks like you like Affie? Actually just like the feeling of being strongly liked. And Affie just likes the feeling of one person silently liking another. As an interloper, Affee is confronted by 663 with this real encounter, pushing Affy to confront her true identity as an interloper as a working girl in a fast-food restaurant. So when 663 asked her, she ran away,
After a year, she transformed into a flight attendant like 663's ex-girlfriend. And 663 turned into the owner of a fast food restaurant. They each became what they thought the other wanted, and reappeared in front of each other. There is not much intersection between two people than before, let alone a relationship. And now it seems that at this moment they can finally talk and laugh face to face, and each has a new identity and reappears in front of each other.
So have they grown?
From a developmental point of view, 663 is an empty shell policeman who will always be mistakenly called 633 by others, and there is no rich emotion, that is, a moody and sad wearing a serial number and losing his name. Transformed into the owner of a fast food restaurant, and the boss needs to control the overall situation, so 663 seems to have a more subjective feeling than before. That is, to take responsibility for yourself as yourself and to actually interact with people. Ah Fei went from a working girl in a fast food restaurant to a flight attendant who could fly everywhere through hard work. In terms of identity, the working girls in fast food restaurants can only be fixed there to guard the boss's shop, and the flight attendants are to receive different guests for the boss, and the crowds that the two identities have to face have begun to change. Most of the people who often go to fast food restaurants work hard at the bottom of society. In 1994, people who could fly had to have some status or money to be able to fly around on a plane. The crowd that Ah Fei faced was different, and the flight attendant received a slightly more affirmative look. So for 663 and Affie, both of them borrowed to achieve each other's desires, and there was a certain development on the basis of the original.
Love is such an imaginative product that puts the deep needs of the heart on the other party and processes it because it is difficult to tolerate the lack of oneself. It's just that some people choose to be self-righteous to think that the other party is a certain way, the other party has a certain need, and then to continue to meet, or change themselves into the way they think the other party needs. Some people use the eyes of others as a mirror to see their own reality and become the self they want. Back in the film, the birth of love serves the unfulfilled sensory needs of unity. The birth of the relationship is a partial connection after breaking the imagination, based on seeing what you really are, what I really look like.
The beauty of Chongqing's forests lies in the fact that the difficulties of contemporary urban men and women who cannot enter a relationship are presented to a certain extent. Hint at the positive role of love: borrow the other party's desire for yourself and become a better you want! The corresponding warning is also given:
In fact, the forest is very large, there are many trees, the sea of people is vast, and you only have one.
