"Merry Boss Pretty Secretary": Perverted Office

A movie that is very different in terms of style and content.

The plot needs no elaboration. In fact, the director told a love story most of the time in the film.

It's just that the male and female protagonists of the love story, the way of falling in love, and the process of falling in love are very different, and it can also be said to be quite abnormal. When I say perverted, I mean to understand it from the perspective of ordinary people.

From the picture of the film, you can see that the film is different. Offices without natural light, interior decoration that ignores the background of the period, long and depressing corridors, and close-up shots of various equipment in the office are very uncomfortable to watch.

The performances of the male and female protagonists are also very perverted.

In particular, the heroine Maggie Gyllenhaal portrays a coquettish masochist to the fullest. Every look, every action, shows her "coquettish" flavor. I have long been optimistic about Maggie Gyllenhaal, so her acting skills are so good. Although it doesn't look pretty, it doesn't have a taste.

The actor's acting is also very good. A sensitive, anxious and lonely white-collar man is fully displayed in front of the audience.

The music of the film is also very ambiguous. It goes well with the offbeat and perverted style of the film.

The director wants to use this film to express the real living state of sadism and masochism. Let people know more about them. They also depicted their love so delicately and with a little bit of romance. The editor is still very attentive.

It's just such a movie with an unusual style and content, will ordinary people accept it? I find it difficult.

    It's not too pornographic, on the contrary, I think the characters are well portrayed. The cute boss driven crazy is much like himself, but someone loves you enthusiastically, don't you feel happy? The neurotic extreme girl is a little sad, but fortunately, her persistence makes happiness within reach. Slightly funny plot. You may not be able to fully understand American values, feelings, and life, but if you love someone, you must express and do it. Don't just say half of what you say. H2 08.6.3 00:30

Secretary quotes

  • [Lee touches herself to the thought of Mr. Grey]

    Lee: [Lee imagines Mr. Grey standing behind her, as she leans over his flower case] I'm your secretary. I'm your secretary.

    Lee: [Lee lays in bed with her eyes closed moaning out] Just a scoop of creamed potatoes, one slice of butter, and four peas.

  • [Lee talks about Mr. Grey and how in love she is with him]

    Lee: [narrating] In one way or another, I've always suffered. I didn't know why, exactly. But I do know that I'm not so scared of suffering now. I feel more than I've ever felt, and I've found someone to feel with, to play with, to love, in a way that feels right for me. I hope he knows that I can see that he suffers, too. And that I want to love him.
