1. Is it really serious to say that this movie is Gong Dou's friends? From the beginning to the end, only Sister Stone faithfully followed the routine of blackening, seduction, and management, and she did all kinds of calculations. The other two parties are completely Buddhas, not to mention the queen, even Mrs. Ma is very perfunctory to curry favor when they encounter problems, and talk about the friendship between bamboo horses, but the infiltration of party disputes is extremely serious.
2. The first scene of the queen and Mrs. Ma completely surprised me. What is the situation of this strong Wu Zetian x Li Zhi instant vision?
3. The contradiction between the Queen and Mrs. Ma lies in the identity positioning of this huge contrast. The queen is contradictory. On the one hand, she wants the sense of dependence and security brought by Mrs. Ma, and on the other hand, she wants to get rid of this weak position because of her self-esteem as a queen. So the way of getting along that has become a habit, Abigail's intrusion made the queen discover the possibility of another relationship.
4. In fact, what the Queen always wanted was Madam Ma's soft clothes. Every time Mrs. Ma casually flattered, there was an immediate effect. After all, she was the one who knew the Queen best. However, the last sentence "true love will not deceive" is Mrs. Ma's true style. The Queen's obsession with letters is just to see Madam Ma's humble attitude.
5. Not only love, sometimes the real can make people feel tired, and the fake can bring relief. So there will always be so much self-deception.
However, the ending scene is also reminding us, is it really a good thing to leave an inner emptiness for the comfort of the status quo?
6. I really like the dramatic narrative style and the powerful shots and music. Black and white tones feel very comfortable, simple and grotesque, distinct and fuzzy. (Although I heard that it was only because the crew lacked money....)
