no man's arena

The English and French, who are separated by water, have many differences in character. The meticulousness and rigor of the British made them create cool and wise detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Poirot, while the same reasoning story was interpreted by the romantic and casual French, but it became more and more exciting.

A sudden heavy snow trapped eight women at home, and in the same house, a man was stabbed in the back and died on his bed. Around the cause of the man's death, several women with different motives began to suspect each other, and in the process of guessing and reasoning, these seemingly pure and elegant women gradually revealed another unknown side.

The heavy snow arranged by the director at the beginning of the film should have other intentions besides confining all the scenes of the story in a closed space. Under the cover of white snow, the dirty world becomes beautiful, the dark relationship becomes pure, and everything is shrouded in an illusory beauty. But the ground after the snow melts is destined to be a mess of sewage. This is the real world. This is probably the subtext that the director wants to tell us. The entire film of "Eight Beauty and Thousands of Charm" is all about female protagonists, and the only male character is only the back from beginning to end. But in this river and lake without men, the coldness and gloom of women make us feel as cold as snow.

    B/ The torture of men by women who are attached to men is like the eight-beautiful chess game in this closed space; in the bloody manor woven by lies, the Illuminati are black women and immature girls. I was so embarrassed at first that I wanted to give it two stars, but then I found this quirky form very attractive. The bright and lively texture, the relationship between characters and the extreme absurdity of logic can be regarded as the advantage of stage play, but it also exposes the gap between the two forms.

    Chinese people talk about "three women in one play", and the French have really brought this to the extreme. In fact, it is similar to "The Women", but the climaxes are repeated, and the dialogue is even more exciting, and the singing and dancing in it are really Exhibiting all kinds of women's amorous feelings, praise!
