Under the great era of troubled times, the conquered North Korea, the nobles who are still indulgent, the dark, dirty, ugly, painful and twisted souls in the splendor... In such an era, nothing will be unexpected. Ben It is the era of madness, and it is the era of a group of dirty lunatics.
The story is divided into three parts. At the beginning of the story, the earl found the thief and proposed to let her be a servant to help him make the young lady fall in love with him, so as to embezzle the huge inheritance behind the young lady. Under the temptation of money, the thief readily agreed. , but secretly fell in love with the lady. This is like a lily movie with suspense but it's not. On the calm surface, dark waves are surging. A greedy and selfish little thief, when he encounters love, he becomes naive and kind-hearted? The young lady who was raised by a gentleman (changed) in a strange house and behaved strangely was really so innocent and ignorant and fell in love? Is the Count really a villain who executes this plan for money and Japanese nationality, as the movie begins? If it is such a villain, the motivation is sufficient and the plan is good, but it is too boring. Just like a villain floating on paper, a villain deliberately shaped, such a character has no soul. There is also that uncle, the short appearance in the early stage gave people a sense of shackles, and gave people a very strong fear and disgust. Such a character is very characteristic, and it shines, but if you don’t dig deep, it will just float. On paper, it's short-lived. Under the seemingly calm surface of the first film, foreshadowings and suspicions were set up, the viewers were attracted and suspicious, and then the tour guide gave the first turn as expected.
The female thief did not change her original plan because of her love. Even if she deeply loved the young lady, she was still sent to a mental hospital according to the count's plan. However, when the young lady was about to enter the mental hospital, a shocking reversal occurred. The young lady who was supposed to be imprisoned in the mental hospital stood outside the door with the identity of a female thief, but the female thief was caught in. With the count's successful smile and the lady's guilty tears, the movie entered the second part. At this time, I took a deep breath... On the one hand, I was happy with the level of this movie, not a cliché third-rate movie, and on the other hand, I was sad. I was naive after all. I believe that love can change people and change the world. So when both the young lady and the female thief succumbed to reality and gave up love, I...was sad. Analyzing the darkness of human nature will be much deeper and higher than the theme of victory in love, but I am still sad, sad for those who cannot escape fate after all. I even thought that this movie would be a tragedy. After all, the tragedy is deeper, more thought-provoking, and easier to remember. What's more, in the story that came to an abrupt end, in my eyes, everyone's future is hopeless and hopeless. Distorted, there is no hope and happiness in sight, so how can he be? With this feeling in mind, I continued to watch the second part, and then the director gave a super surprise. The second part describes the peaceful years in the first part from the perspective of the young lady. It turned out that the agreement between the female thief and the count was only part of the plan of the young lady and the count. What they do is that the earl gets money, the lady gets freedom, and the thief is the innocent scapegoat. A seamless strategy, after seeing the lady's perspective, I thought so. It's the plan that can't keep up with the variables. And love is the most unpredictable variable. The young lady and the female thief are in love with each other when they get along day and night. Obviously, each of them has ghosts, but when they really get along, it is from the initial pretense to the sincerity. If you cast seeds in the crevices of the rock, stubborn life will grow. So is love. The second part also revealed the true colors of the earl and his uncle. The uncle is a well-dressed person on the outside, but inside is a psychologically distorted erotic pervert who collects erotic books and paintings, holds erotic reading meetings with nobles, and uses unimaginable ways to master young women doing reading meetings! Miss's aunt used to be Hua Dan, but she hanged herself because she couldn't stand the torture. Miss was succeeded by her uncle to cultivate the next generation of Hua Dan. The Earl was one of the nobles who were invited to read aloud, but he was a fake noble, so he needed the lady's money even more to support him in doing the dirty things in his heart. At the same time, he also had a twisted admiration for the lady. Of course, the young lady in such an environment would not be a white lotus who doesn't know the world. She lives under the terror of her uncle, her mind is numb, and she has her own set of protection methods. In front of her, she was actually powerless to resist. So the appearance of the Earl is a ray of hope in her life. Although the price of this hope is dirty, the young lady can't wait to seize it. In the third part, the lady lamented that there are so many people in the world to choose from, why did you choose Shu Ji as her servant? If not, her fate will not change. Even if someone else is chosen and the plan is successful, this kind of freedom is not real freedom, she will never escape her uncle's mental torment, and in the end she will just die of numbness. But the love with the female thief was the purest thing she saw and touched for the first time in this dirty world. Is this the companion in the book? Miss thought, this was the first time she really felt that there was something warm in her life. The first scene between the young lady and the female thief was relatively fresh in the first part. After all, the young lady was still wearing a white lotus head. The second part of this h is more detailed and profound with the analysis of the characters' fate and personality. Such extreme joy seems to be the only way to temporarily forget the pressing fate. They hide from each other but treat each other sincerely at this moment, no one will doubt the sincerity at the moment. After the most intimacy, love developed in the hearts of both of them, but the oppression of fate is still not loose, their plans are still going on in an orderly manner, and everyone is in jeopardy. After all, the plan was broken, because the count's allies were unwilling to execute it. The lady asked if the thief really wanted her to marry the earl? The female thief still replied that after the heartache, the young lady collapsed, and the purest thing she possessed was also broken. After the female thief found out, he rescued the young lady, and they were honest with each other. The female thief suddenly realized that she spit on the count, but couldn't hate the young lady, because she knew what kind of life the young lady lived. The female thief in the first part is greedy for money and yet cute, and the young lady in the second part has a dark belly, but the other side of their character is that the female thief is daring and brave, and the young lady is scheming and a little cowardly. It is this perfect complementarity that makes the fate of the two reversed. The female thief ruthlessly vented her anger by destroying her uncle's collection of books, and the look of anger and sadness was undoubtedly a deep sympathy for the young lady. At first, the young lady was a little scared to see her wanton destruction, and finally kicked those evil books into the water with her, contaminated them with paint, and showed a happy smile. No matter how unbearable this past is, because of the appearance of the female thief, the lady has a chance to avenge the past and a chance to be happy again. Because of the bravery of the female thief, the young lady has the courage to pursue the free air outside, a world with sunshine, green grass, sea and lovers. Next, the young lady used her extraordinary resourcefulness to trick the earl and uncle. The exciting part, I won't describe spoilers. The last step of the tactic needed to stun the earl, and the lady used the highly concentrated opium the earl had given her. Three drops were enough for a night's sleep, and one bottle would kill her. Miss hesitant to drop three drops, I'm still wondering if Miss is kind after all? Still unwilling to put the earl to death? Actually it wasn't. The young lady had expected that her uncle would not let it go. Given his uncle's perverted and distorted temperament, it would be even more painful for the earl to fall into his hands. From another point of view, the young lady is very transparent. From the moment she escaped, the focus of her life is to pursue a happy and comforting life with her lover in the future, rather than avenging the unbearable and painful past, so her hesitation, perhaps He resented the Earl in his heart, wishing he would die quickly, but he took the overall situation into consideration and rationally executed the perfect plan. The part where my uncle tortured the Earl in every possible way was too bloody and dark... It really is a pervert... I don't understand the perverted world, I don't want to understand it, and I don't want to watch it! I covered the screen and watched the subtitles. The count's death was very interesting. My uncle wanted to hear from the count about his sexual intercourse with the young lady. In fact, the young lady had never been touched by the count. Even the last seduction was the last step. The earl said, will you tell others about the affair between you and your wife? The earl had an excuse to smoke, because in the closed space in the basement, his uncle died of tobacco poisoning, and the earl was also dying. Maybe because of translation problems, the words are not very smooth and easy to understand. But as I presume, the sentence was speaking of himself. When the young lady seduced the earl, she said that it was a ten-minute game, and if he failed to turn the young lady into his own after ten minutes, he would give the young lady anything as long as it existed in the world. Maybe that's what his last words meant. Even if he died in the end, he kept his promise and gave the young lady the freedom she wanted. Killing his uncle would be revenge and save the young lady from danger and trouble in the future. The earl is actually very interesting. He is not as filthy as those nobles. He also has a unique understanding of love. He is not as perverted and twisted as his uncle. Moreover, he is very smart, bold and calm, so he can handle a group of perverts with ease. So he can think of a trick to plan, calculating two people's hearts or even more. He had hardly used any strong ones against Miss before, and he was not considered an animal that completely used his lower body to think. When he was planning with the young lady, he bluntly said that he was looking at the young lady for money, not anything else, so he was very smart, he understood what was most important, he was not naive at all, he was very shrewd. But he is the love of Miss Ai after all, and he was shocked in just a few short moments. How much he wanted to have Miss, but he kept his uncle when he was still there. It was dark, and it was not until the final plan was successful that she revealed her intentions to the young lady. He is shrewd. When it is impossible to have both fish and bear's paw, he chooses the bear's paw, and then takes the fish when the fish is powerless to resist. It's a pity that at this time he was already a child in the Miss chess game, and he still lost in the end, and it was his lower body. If he hadn't been fascinated by the young lady, and only wanted to possess the young lady, it was not difficult for him to think of how the young lady who used to be cold and even disgusted with him in the past would take the initiative to embrace her? One of the oddities makes sense. When he woke up the next day and understood everything, he faced his final outcome calmly in the face of the man sent by his uncle to arrest him. He was clearly heartbroken, but it also made people appreciate it a little bit. This daring, daring and dignified, and the calmness in the face of the evil, gave this villain a different kind of charm. In the end, before he died, the memories of the young lady were replayed in his mind, from the first time when he was shocked to see the last scene where the young lady and the female thief were dependent on each other on the boat. He seemed to understand that his plans had been out of touch since then. Love is a step he missed, or maybe he saw it, but didn't take it seriously, because he didn't believe in love, so he could understand the temporary relationship between the young lady and the female thief, but he thought it was only temporary anyway. , When the female thief is imprisoned in a mental hospital, he will have a chance to attack the young lady, and even if the young lady is reluctant to give up the female thief, she will not give up her hard-won freedom. But it was his conceit that killed him, and he lost all the time. The young lady and the female thief finally had a big reunion. They boarded the ship to Shanghai and started a new life. I thought it was a tragedy, but it turned out to be a happy reunion! I am very happy, and because of this ending, I have perfectly analyzed human nature and believed in love! ! ! Some people may think this is a fairy tale, but how can there be such a beautiful fairy tale! The protagonist's past is too tragic! Because of the background of the era of patriarchal wars, unimaginable extreme distortions that I can think of in the movie are very likely to happen, struggling to survive in an almost dark and desperate life, yes, love changed their destiny, but even in the dark at first, even in the dark They have never stopped fighting, wanting to struggle to survive in this fucking life. Without those struggles, how could they have met each other, how could they have seen hope, and worked hard to change and usher in a new life? ? So where is the fairy tale, where is the halo, where is the golden finger, and where is the blunt turning plot, this is clearly what happened in an era! The final big reunion is by no means the result of the director or screenwriter's big hand, but the result of Nan Shuji and Izumi Hideko's own struggle. If there is only one halo, it is that Hideko Izumi met Nan Shuji. believe anytime Love is like faith and hope. Because you don't know what love will bring you.
