Thinking of the Mid-Autumn Mooncakes from the past, they were big, filled with various kinds of genuine nuts, and the packaging was just a piece of oiled paper. It was affordable, delicious, and not fancy.

Today's Mid-Autumn Mooncakes are completely different, with smaller and smaller styles, more hazy fillings, less content, but more exquisite packaging.

The early movies were much like the Mid-Autumn Mooncakes of the past, with beautiful stories and simple forms.

Movies now are like mooncakes now, when the luxurious box is opened, the story seems so fragmented.

    From the script, the lines to the actor's role interpretation, it is perfect. Although the heroine played by Bette Davis is arrogant and conceited on the surface, she is sincere, kind and straightforward, making people like it; however, ironically, what the audience and the media need is infinite kitsch and superficial renewal. But even if the depth cannot be exchanged for the glory of timeliness brought by kitsch, it can also withstand the selection and filtering of time, only time can penetrate the entire history of art.

    The plot is very attractive. At that time, I still attached great importance to the script.
