Big red lantern hanging high

The four women share a pot of porridge, the old lady is indifferent to the world, the vicious second wife hides her knife with a smile, the third wife who is a master, sympathizes and understands but is not worthy of forgiveness, and the most serious fourth wife is crazy.

In this big yard, the master has the highest power, but it is also the saddest. What they have in common is that they do not love the master, but only use him as a tool, so there is no close-up or even medium shot on the front of the master.

The design of the big yard is very interesting and luxurious, but it is very depressing and gloomy. This is the world of the four wives, and in their world, there is no spring, only when the red lanterns are lit, there is light and vitality. The old servant's sentence of auspicious years is extremely ironic. The little maid and the third wife died because of the fourth wife. Maybe she fell in love with the eldest young master, but she must be desperate anyway.

However, there is always hope and hope in life. No, the beautiful fifth wife is preparing to appear.

    After this film, I was very resistant to all kinds of aunts who were always smiling and overly enthusiastic

    I don't really like this kind of movie that simply describes how a person is played by "feudal ethics". The theme is obvious from the beginning, and the process is relatively bland and no surprises. Apart from the awesome movie shooting techniques and awesome color matching, What's the point of making this kind of movie, other than the awesome actors?
