Freud believed that civilization brings discontent to its inhabitants. The individual who appears to be ''normal'' has to go through several pathological distortions and repressions to fit a symbolic order that relies its gravitas on a purely abstract concept of ''civilized'' society. As a result, this repressed stream of energy now turning against its object takes the form of psychic authority known as Super Ego which binds the individual to ''behave'' into this abstract and symbolic notion of what a normal person is. The super ego instead of bringing alignment to its object bombards it with societal rules that the object shall obay and run towards, or feel shame and guilt. Now this ''civilized society'' bound by its authoritarian rules, considers sexuality, one of the prime pillars for its creation, perserve and something that ought be shameful and be hidden. Only used as a necessity through its practical use of increasing the number of the spieces.
It's no wonder that many people will find this film vulgar and disgusting considering what i've mentioned above, sexuality, the human body, and the natural instict towards desire have been through the years ridiculed, condemned and again and again considered as danger, censored. Little did they know that instead of making people ignore it they fuelled their fantasy and curiosity even more, creating the space for pathological fantasies and neurosis.
Bella goes through a series of psychic transformations starting with the tendency towards ID. Instant gratification, sexual desire, aggression. Then through this trial and error come the pathological cuts and unavoidable disillusionment. From this trauma she rises to a more self aware state that and there comes the existentialism philosophy which believes that no disposition of meaning exists, we choose our pain and evolve. Unlike other individuals who live under the shadow of this symbolic authority, she lives in the moment. Without guilt or shame, this crucial difference makes her open to any and all experiences which a person goes through and shapes him-herself without Ego shielding her to a bubble of a disconnection with herself.
It's natural for the human experience to be egocentric, most people want to have a concrete idea about who they are what ideology they believe and so on, but thinking we know everything, we leave no space to live outside our perception of safety and evolve. The metaphorical childish brain inside an adult body hints to the idea that we should all try and live again, without being too self conscious of making a mistake, of being critisized. Of the super ego judging us harshly and slapping us. Every emotion and aspect of life needs to be lived to grow.
The big other doesn't exist, it's all a simulation to make you feel content. But in the end, only you can know what you desire. Can you handle pain, give it meaning and evolve? Or is it better to back off into a ''predetermined existence''
