Nymphomaniac

I have watched this movie Nymphomaniac series lately and I couldn't resist writing up my thoughts on it, especially the end note.

In short, the movie is about nymphomaniac women, according to Google: the person with high sexual desire. The story starts with a wounded women on street laying unconscious and she was found by a man (around 60's) later took her to his home and comforts her with a warm tea and she starts narrating his life experiences as a nymphomaniac to him.

She is a normal woman like everyone else with good father, mom, but only difference is that she has huge urge or desire to have sex. She meets up with lot of people in order to satisfy her. After doing it a lot,  a lot ,when she was around 30, all of a sudden she couldn’t feel anything. Nothing will satisfy her. To be precise, nothing makes her to orgasm.

After a while she will get married to a guy (who initially took her V) and got a kid as well. She still tries to get her feelings/responsiveness towards sex back like earlier with every possible way but couldn’t succeed. Due to her situations, both husband and kid will abandon her so she starts living alone.

Later she finds a job which keeps her busy all the time. 15 yrs passed and all of a sudden she came across her ex husband and tries to shoot him.(coz he is wooing with her junior),but it got missed and the pissed of husband beats her up badly and leaves her on the street.

During the 4:30 hrs of story narration, this old man and she came across various aspects of her life such as feminism, abortion, marriage, desire, asexuality, religion, love, bondage sex, anger, machoism. This man considers himself as asexual and promises her to give his opinions based on facts and situations without partiality or empathy.

He carefully listens to every detail and gave his opinions on her acts some being supportive others against. When she finishes her story he states that whatever the sin/action she took is because of her own situations and priorities. He assures her that there was nothing wrong in her actions. She trusted him at last and relieved herself from all her actions and promises him that from now on, she will stand up against all odds and wanted to have a peaceful life and tells him that she found a friend after 40 yrs.

This was the climax scene. After watching 4:30 hrs of acts of nymphomaniac, I finally found myself satisfied that she will lead a peaceful life from now. All is well. Happy Ending.........

But no, movie ends with a last scene where this old man tries to rape her and she shoots him with a gun and she runs away from his house..

Dude, seriously.. After all her stories that is what you thought?

He stated in a scene that he is asexual but how come he behaves like that? We cannot simply judge that all men are a$$holes. That is not fair, but it seems to be fair when Lars Von Trier abruptly ended with that note.
