Summary of the story: In 1921, Ewa and her sister left their country, Poland, to New York. However, her sister Magda was quarantined due to tuberculosis, and Ewa was also denied access due to the visa officer's refusal. At this time Ewa fell into the clutches of Bruno, the pimp, and Ewa endured the humiliation and became a prostitute in order to save her sister. The appearance of the magician Orland lit a ray of light in Ewa's life. Tragically, Orland passed away before Ewa could leave, and Ewa's hope was extinguished. But in the end Bruno let her live a new life.
The three protagonists of the movie are all portrayals of tragic characters.
Ewa: A beautiful, self-respecting woman with a terrible fate. Her parents passed away, and her sister was quarantined due to illness and was not accepted by her relatives and uncles. In order to save her sister, she had to become a prostitute. She prayed, she redeemed her soul, she hated herself and felt that she was dirty, but it was not her fault. In the eyes of the world, she is a prostitute, very humble, but it is all appearance, she is kind-hearted, she sacrifices herself for her relatives, she is noble. Therefore, when we are cognizing things, we cannot simply judge from the appearance, but because we look at the problem deeply and essence, only in this way can we correctly judge the authenticity of things.
Bruno: He is personable in appearance, but he is a hypocrite. Deception, threats and intimidation made Ewa a prostitute and a tool for him to make money. He said that when he saw Ewa, he knew that it meant different things to him, and it really meant a lot to him from the end of the movie. In my opinion, Ewa redeemed Bruno. Bruno fell in love with Ewa and was angry with Orland because he didn't want Orland to approach her. The two fought and went into the police station. When Orland wanted to take Ewa away and forced him to say that he would never see each other, he couldn’t tell. At gunpoint, if he didn’t love Ewa, he would definitely let her leave right away, but he loved her and was defending himself. , Stabbed Orland to death unconsciously. What faced him next was the absence of the past. He rescued her sister and let them live a new life. The appearance of Ewa ruined Bruno's life, of course this is a good thing, because Bruno's life was inherently wrong. Bruno is a tragic character. He loves Ewa and gives everything he has to her, but he is extremely sad because Ewa, whom he loves so much, hates him. It is said that Ewa redeemed Bruno, because Bruno's devotion to love has been sublimated, and the goodness of his nature has been produced. If Ewa does not show up, he will still do wicked things in the old days.
Orland: I met Ewa during a magic show and fell in love with her at first sight. In the second performance, he accidentally hurt her, caused her to be insulted, and angered Bruno. They had a chat for the third time, and because of this, they had a fight with Bruno. The fourth meeting was when Ewa returned the scarf he found, and it was also the time to say goodbye to each other. He asked her to leave together, but she couldn't. She needed to stay and earn money for her sister. The fifth time he met, he wanted to take her with him, help her rescue her sister, and start a new life together. Unfortunately, before the good wishes were fulfilled, he died because of an unexpected conflict. He is also a tragic figure.
Other prostitutes: They don't hate Bruno for turning them into lowly people, but they can't do without him, because he gives them a source of money. In the era, prostitutes were their profession. When Ewa appeared, the team was broken, and it was not a good thing or a bad thing for them. Maybe it will make them more difficult to survive, maybe let them live a new life.
Finally, let's talk about the opposite angle. Looking at the characters from the perspective of love, she is lucky. She met two men who gave everything for her, and finally started a new life. The little bit of joy in this tragedy is like a flower in the shady scene.
The character image is well portrayed, and it also portrays the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the era, reflecting the life phenomenon at that time.

    Does the director think he paints oil paintings? After reading the eye shadow person page, I really wanted to be a painter, so is it because the idol is Rembrandt? . Weird plot, no fuss, all characters lack the audience's favor and personality. . The director can't be a painter if he doesn't see the problem without any depth. So the judges in Cannes are all the clients in the pub to make this film shortlisted. Gee. I can't stand this movie that believes in Yan and Qian's destiny.
