Phantom Thread is a morbid relationship, but also love and willingness. Woodcock is a genius, calm, restrained, and strong, representing refined and critical high society, and Alma is a beautiful waiter in a restaurant, with a humble status and a wild country girl. She couldn't fit into his paranoid life and couldn't change him. But Alma was stubborn and unyielding, and insisted on understanding each other in her own way. Finally, as Kazuo Ishiguro said at the Nobel Prize, "Let his armor crack and let people see the great sorrow." Only by making him weak by poisoning can he enter into his heart, and the estrangement between the two can be eliminated.
The confrontation at the end of the most exciting part of the movie, when faced with the plate of poisonous food, both of them actually knew it, he seemed to be waiting for her to say it, and she waited calmly for him to eat it, and finally he smiled. While swallowing poisonous mushrooms, the psychedelic psychedelia of love really makes people lose their minds.
"Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick." This is probably the most beautiful love story in the world. Good night.
