love and sin

Ryley 2022-02-07 14:53:09

eight women. In the little scam set up by the younger daughter, they suspect each other and expose each other.
Lies are exposed one by one.
In the face of such a naked truth, Dad lost the courage to survive and shot himself.

I think the director's original intention was not to make him a suspense film, but to interpret human nature through this story.
Human ugliness and beauty; true and false; good and evil; love and hate; selfishness and integrity; cowardice and fearlessness.
Therefore, it is not possible to evaluate the film's good or bad
story from the plot design. Although it is interesting, it is not so exciting.
Always change the subject bluntly when a clue is about to surface.
It makes everyone suspected of murder in the eyes of the audience.

In the final scene of the film, eight women stand in a row holding hands.
Each of them has sins, but when they look deeper, their sins all come from love.

Mother-in-law killed her husband because she didn't love the "perfect" husband around her.
Wife planned to run away from home because she fell in love with her husband's partner.
Wife's sister seduced her brother-in-law and hated everyone because she couldn't adapt to the fact that her beloved father died
The younger sister coerced her brother to give her 500,000 because she wanted to give her beloved lover
Chanel a lie, because she loved the master's sister, the
maid went to bed with the master, because she admired the mistress, and the
young daughter planned the whole farce because she loved her father deeply
The most pitiful person is Susan, who was pregnant with her adoptive father's child before she met her Prince Charming.
She didn't have too much love in her heart, so she didn't have too much sin.

Love gives courage to sin, and the deeper the love, the greater the courage, the greater the sin.
Do you still want to love?
need.
Even if they are smashed to pieces, even if they are cast aside by thousands of people.
As long as you are truly in love, everything has meaning.

French women, like Italian men, are world treasures.
They are beautiful, elegant, arrogant, sexy...
have a special preference for French women, and think that all the beautiful words can be used for them.
When I was in France, my favorite was to sit on the subway and watch women, old, young, beautiful, not beautiful, all so charming.
French women, like red wine, need a certain age to show their beauty. Unlike American Coke, when he was 21 years old, he was charming, but after the bubbles disappeared, it was a bland cup of sugar water.
The 8 actresses in the film are representatives of the three generations of French filmmakers, old, middle-aged and young. It goes without saying that they have acting skills, and in the film, they also sing beautiful French chansons, how can they not be loved?

    I always feel that Ou Rong is more like a writer than a filmmaker, and various literary forms are always inadvertently used in movies by him. "Eight Beauties" has the sophistication of a stage play and the embellishment of singing and dancing, but it is absurd but quite self-evident. Despite being in a confined space, the sense of suspense is carried from head to tail. Eight women in one play, the secrets are more than the pearls on the body, and the deconstruction of women is at a glance. Sure enough, homosexuality is the most understanding of women!

    The Blizzard Mountain Villa murders, theatrical scenes and curtain changes, Jacques Demy-style colors and singing and dancing, and French young, middle-aged and young actresses performing on the same stage are all formal elements. Multiple forms are nested layer by layer, character relationships are intricate, same-sex and bi-sex infidelity is complete, and under the carnival-like dazzling flower work, there is no effective core or true feelings. A work of style, but by no means a masterpiece.
