      Notes On A Scandal--The Lack Of Love Of Two Heroines

      Taking such a title is a question that suddenly came to mind when I saw the episode when the incident happened:

      What would you do if you knew the secret of a friend in a country where the love between an underage teacher and a student is a serious crime? How to do it?

      One is that...

      Existence is false, the world is absurd

      After watching this movie, you will feel not the power of love but the lethality and destructive power of the phrase "One woman's fear is another woman's weapon" in the trailer. When this sentence covered in blood and tears is applied to human civilization, Sartre's sentence that others are hell fully explains the greed and bloodthirsty nature of human beings in the whirlpool of desire. In the process of externalizing self-desire, it is often the destruction of the self and the exposure of the...

      After watching N years ago

      One of the protagonists of this film is the female boss in 007, a famous British middle-aged woman... Judi Dench, the famous British middle-aged woman was added by myself,
      hard and cold, I can't kill you Choking your words, expressionless, indifferent face, completely undressed appearance... This is at least the impression I get from middle-aged British women. If the hairstyle and glasses are replaced by Jiang Qing's style, she is a Chinese old lady of Marxism-Leninism.
        The film...

      How dark is the dark side of human nature?

      Watched the film in an intermittent way, a revolutionary road-style theme. What a terrifying abyss is hidden under the calm and seemingly halo-surrounded reality. The great thing about this film is that it magnifies and embellishes some of the extremely embarrassing and ugly characteristics of human nature in the context of society, so that you can see its crazy and dirty nature. This kind of spirit is not easy.

      First shock: Blanchett and the 15-year-old boy~~~, I really can't stand...

      two women

      Notes on a Scandal, Chinese translation of "The Chronicle of Scandal".
       
      The earliest I learned about this movie was that Starlight said on the page that Cate Blanchett was going to release a new film, which looked good; then I saw a black and red poster in the movie theater. So I found it The trailer, found not only Cate, but also the old showman Dame Judi Dench (the same level as Sir Ian McKellen), and the trailer looks full of conflict and confrontation, these two women's rivalry...

      Woolf lays down the gun deep down.... Grandma Dench plays the sickly isolated literary old maid so convincingly at the end, the CB's return to the family and Dench's search for a new crush makes the movie weak for two The battle between women suddenly became...

      Simply, sharp. Barbara said that Sheba likes a certain type of man, which is actually the case for herself, and ended up finding a blond and blue-eyed man to strike up a conversation with. The feeling of loneliness is...

    Movie plot

    Barbara Cavite (Judith Olivia Dench) works as a history teacher at a public high school in London. Just looking at her image is reminiscent of the evil teacher in the cartoon: conservatively dressed, unsmiling, rigorous, and adopting an iron fist policy to disobedient students, she is naturally an old girl who lacks emotional nourishment. Such a teacher is mostly in life. There is an unimaginable side. Although Mr. Cavite doesn't have...

    "Notes on a Scandal" is a simple teacher-student love story on the surface, but it actually contains and reflects the deep meaning of cultural thought   . (Wang Hongping)
    The director handles a lonely emotional story in a thriller-like style, ruthlessly cutting every thread that may produce warmth. Most of the scenes in the film are set indoors, and the shots are mainly close-up and close-up. Every change in the actor's expression is...
