On the shattering of a noble girl's dream

Some people may ask, is Dotty in the film pure? You actually compare her with Miaoyu, the outsider in "A Dream of Red Mansions"?

The answer is of course yes. I think Dotti’s character is much cuter than the Miao nun of Ningba, and she is smart and kind, and has never hurt anyone (the original words of brother Chris). Miaoyu is more than a little kind?

Dotty is noble, because she advocates pure love instead of chasing sensual stimulation. This is especially important. You should know that the environment in which Doty grows can almost be described as sludge: both the biological mother and stepmother are lustful and depraved. The flower of evil is entangled with the same man. The former abandons her husband and children because of this, while the latter betrays her marriage and loses her basic humanity. How rare is it for Dotty to get out of the sludge and not stain it? It is not too much to say that she is a white lotus flower.

It is such a high-quality girl who used her high IQ and EQ to protect her innocence-at least before Joe appeared.

Some people say that her childish sister is utterly nonsensical. Imagine any childish sister who can decipher their strategy of buying murder from the words of his father and brother? You know, father and brother talked about buying murder in the bar, not in the car. The naive girl realized it only by the brief message that the brother said, "You can send her to a good school with 10,000 yuan." The mystery of her is not high IQ, or what? When she heard that her brother was planning for her future, she was undoubtedly touched, so she couldn't help but speak out and portray the dream city with her brother.

Because of her brother's love for her, and because her brother is her only spiritual support, she agrees with the practice of killing her mother. Of course, she appears as a sleepwalker. Is she really sleepwalking? How can it be! I remember that when my brother came home on a rainy night and quarreled with his stepmother, Dotti was sober. She sat on the bed and cried silently, sad, sad, for personal encounters, for the chaos of the family, but she is a girl who has no expertise, what can she do? manage? She can only continue to play stupid and force herself to ignore the incompetence of her father and the vulgarity of her stepmother, in an attempt to escape one disaster after another.

At this moment, Joe appeared. He was clean, elegant, mature and stable. He was very different from his sloppy father and brother. Dotti was temporarily attracted by him, so the first time we met, she told him what she wanted, and at the same time she She was also keen. From the way he looked at her, she already knew that he was the killer her brother invited. When the phone rang, she calmly said, "That's for you."

And Joe was also attracted by Doty, because The beauty of her body is more because of her intelligence and keenness. From the perspective of emotional intelligence, they are very suitable, very smart, and very quiet.

Going back to the title, the reason Dottie is Gaojie is because she resisted when she knew that she was betrayed by her family and gave it to Joe as a sex toy, but her strength was too weak and her arms could not twist her thighs. Or she supported her brother unconditionally, so she accepted it. When Joe reproached and said: "Someone should have told you." Dottie's answer was: "Yes, someone told me, just now."

This answer not only avoided the trouble for Joe to find his brother, but also explained the reason why he was crying.

The next rivalry scene is very subtle. Innocent Dottie is still expecting Joe to be like her first love, advocating soul love, but in less than a second, Joe immediately used his terrible possessiveness to control the situation, he ordered She put on a skirt representing "absolute obedience" in front of him, and "possessed" her in his unique way.

It is unscientific to say that Dottie has no good feelings for Joe. After all, Joe behaves like a lover, isn't it? He proposed to her, in front of the family, in front of his brother, and promised to take her away at dinner.

If nothing happened next, everything would be so beautiful, and the years would be quiet and good, it would have been a full moon, so Dottie smiled sweetly. She was undoubtedly happy. Money is nothing, Joe doesn’t care about remuneration. Is something wrong? Didn't you agree to take her away? At least my brother won't be decapitated.

It’s a pity that her living environment is really bad, and her good wishes are destined to be unfulfilled. Her brother disagrees with Joe’s actions. Of course, her brother is not entirely out of safeguarding her interests. He is the same as Joe, but is She used her as a bargaining chip, but compared to Joe, Dotti still trusted her brother. When both Joe and his brother ordered her, she chose his brother.

The tragedy is like a pre-set program, which will eventually be executed according to the established trajectory. In the fight with Joe, my brother was defeated. Dotti’s only spiritual support collapsed. She cried and shot her brother without hesitation. He killed his father, and as for the stepmother, it no longer poses any threat, and Dotty doesn't need to waste bullets.

As for the ending, my understanding is that Joe was beaten to death by Dottie. When the fans were discussing whether Dottie had any doubts, I thought the line had already answered "I'm gonna have a baby." baby.

How happy is Joe for Mao? He thought Doty was going to have children with him, right? It's a pity that he is impotent! The two lived together asexually before, why do they say that they live together asexually? Again, Dottie is not a casual girl. She still has high requirements for her future partner. At least he must respect and understand her. For the first time for the two, Joe met her requirements. The performance of the two is very similar to the jerky and sweetness between first love lovers, right? Because of this, we see that Dottie smiles happily beside Joe, sweet, exactly like the girl in love.

But Joe is a killer and a pervert. He can't bring real happiness to Dotti. When Dotty cried and begged him to stop, Joe didn't hear it at all. Even if he heard it, it was impossible to buy her.

The so-called perfect lover is nothing but a killing machine. The naive fantasy that Dotti once had about Joe, was completely disillusioned at this moment. It also means that whether it is to turn to family and society, the wedding and city Dotty wants It would never appear, the beautiful world deep in her heart was completely destroyed.
