The film I'm going to talk about today explores the relationship between the body and the soul.
In a dream, the man and the woman talk about a surrealist love affair that has nothing to do with lust, a little cold, and a little warm.
It's this one, Flesh and Spirit.
This beautiful surrealist love story takes place in a slaughterhouse.
Workers dressed in pure white uniforms and disposed of bloody, cold corpses are routine here.
Ender is the financial director here, divorced, living alone, unmarried, with a hand disability, somewhat inferior, and no friends.
Even the occasional one-night stand will not let the other party stay overnight, and leave immediately after the incident.
Rather than enjoying one's life, it's more like being afraid to start a relationship again and just wanting to be in your own safe zone.
But soon, Maria, a new quality inspector girl in the company, caught his attention.
She is taciturn, her work is more real, and her flesh is 2 mm thicker, she will be demoted, and she is a freak in the eyes of her colleagues.
The evil lord felt that this girl was a bit like Luna in Harry Potter, clean and a little weird.
Like Ender, she is alone and alone.
Ender's first active contact ended in failure.
He plucked up the courage to sit across from her in the cafeteria and talked about food.
"I saw you order wild spinach, so coincidentally, I ordered too."
As a result, Maria stifled him to death with one sentence:
"That's not because your left hand is disabled, and it's convenient to eat paste."
Ender sadly left.
But Maria returned home and began rehearsing her conversation with Ender in the cafeteria.
She is neither a dramatist nor a barber. She does this because she suffers from social phobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Fortunately, an emergency once again gave two lonely souls a chance.
Mating powder in the slaughterhouse was stolen.
What is this mating powder?
To put it bluntly, it is an aphrodisiac for animals, and the medicinal effect is extremely strong.
Who would steal this medicine? What is it used for stealing? The evil emperor didn't dare to think about it.
The police quickly launched an investigation and arranged for a psychologist to do psychological counseling for everyone.
Psychologists ask a lot of unspeakable questions about sex, such as menstruation, sex, recent dreams, and so on.
As a result, Ender and Maria are surprised to find that their dreams are unexpectedly unified.
In the dream, they were two deer in the ice and snow, one male and one female, and when they drank water by the pond, they lightly touched the tip of each other's noses.
The psychiatrist obviously did not believe it after listening, and if there was an unscientific dream, it was obvious that these two people colluded to make a good fool of me.
Ender and Maria are also a little embarrassed, after all, they are both unsociable people.
But this also gave the two a good opportunity to chat, and finally there was no need to talk awkwardly about eating wild spinach paste, and they shared their dreams every day.
Ender was always a stag in the dream, and Maria was the doe, and they met in the dream, there was no transgression, but there was a kind of comforting warmth.
This wonderful experience makes the two of them get closer and closer in reality, and even want to sleep together.
Of course, it is a literal sleep, after all, snapping is not so easy for someone with a psychological disorder like Maria.
They lie together and dream, and then meet in the dream.
But I never expected that the first time I slept, both of them had insomnia.
In the dream, they could not get together, and the two had to get up and play cards.
Ender's hand inadvertently touched Maria, who dodged like a frightened fawn.
Maria is only physically repellent of physical contact, but Ender mistakenly thinks that she is a frivolous person, and the atmosphere is suddenly a little awkward.
However, spiritual souls will eventually meet, and although this time the appointment is not very pleasant, Maria is still moved.
She walked alone for half a lifetime, this was the first time she tasted the taste of love, she began to learn how to accept others physically, for love, she tried to become "normal".
Evil Lord has written many movies, all because of sex, people surrender to primitive desires, and play with true feelings.
Even ignoring, resisting, and even desecrated the "spirit" for the sake of money, power, conspiracy, hatred and abuse of "meat".
This movie has a different perspective, using extreme character stories to interpret the wonder of love for life.
At the end of the story, they finally reach the physical fusion of water and milk, but from this moment on, the spiritual dream also leaves them.
The spirit stops at the flesh.
But isn't that a new beginning?
