The lens design is also clever. There is a scene at the beginning of the "passport photos" of many classmates in the school. From the beginning, there are hundreds of people on one screen to two people on one screen, and the photos are constantly enlarged. A scene at the end shows Gilman and Claude sitting on the bench and looking at the balcony of the residential building on the opposite wall. A bit of a coherent meaning.
The director wants to express many things, the relationship between the author and the reader, the relationship between the teacher and the student (or the educator and the educated), the impact of imagination and reality on writing, and so on. But every point is handled well.
Claude's entry into the house is an "invasion" of the families of Rafa and Gilman. Claude is a little eclectic and idealistic. Although he shows an extraordinary interest in the mistress of the two families, he wants to conquer the male masters of the two families. He thought he was integrated into the Rafa family, but he wasn't. He was still excluded, an abandoned child when they made choices for each other. At this time, there is a contrast between the two families. The Rafa family is ordinary, but the family relationship is very close, and the life is trivial and realistic. One of Gilman and his wife is an extreme lover of literature and the other is a fan of art. Such a family combination is too "romantic", and there are some dissimilarities, so Claude successfully invaded.
