On the Pathological Thought of the Father's Pursuit of Perfection

Really beautiful heroine! ! ! ! ! I really like her mouth, she is very sad, and she should also belong to the cat-like appearance. It can be seen that she has also contributed a lot to this show. Really, her eyes change before and after, and the characterization is very awesome. It can be said that it is true that she supported the whole drama by herself. Whether it's in terms of looks or acting skills, she's very awesome, and she's in good shape too, help! God, I just discovered an electricity that I didn't notice when I was watching a movie. In the movie, there is a father holding a caliper and gesturing on the heroine's head, and the daughter has actually become accustomed to this. Ordinary people may think that my father wants to make me more beautiful, and then more people may not hate me so much, but the heroine's psychology at that time was not a trace of gratitude, but rejection. This shows that the heroine has become accustomed to her father's plastic surgery, and does not think it is a gift. My father gave the heroine plastic surgery, which is why the heroine is so good-looking, but everyone hates her. Others may not accept her beauty and think she is a freak. People are always rejecting, so that's why others hate her and bully her. And the twin sister is deformed, so she may only be a little better. Another reason may be that her appearance is too beautiful, too perfect, and things that are too perfect seem so out of place in the collective at that time. At the same time, because of the character of the heroine, she was bullied and did not fight back, resulting in a situation of being bullied all the time. I go I go, I found another point from other reviews that I just didn't notice. When Alan killed his father and found that Maria was gone, he saw a very ugly monster in the reflection on the glass, reflecting the shadow of Maria of the heroine. At the time, I thought it was my own eyes that were dazzled, and I didn't care. It turned out that this meant that the heroine discovered her ugliness on the reflective surface of the glass. It may also mean that the heroine finally discovered that Maria and Alan were actually herself. Well, I understand a little bit. If you say it's not good, it may be because you don't understand it, and part of the reason is that the author buried the foreshadowing too obscurely, so you can't see it clearly. But I'm also a little confused at the end. It doesn't represent a mirror, so there is a feeling of refraction from left to right in the mirror, so it means, The mother in the mirror holds Maria, the mother outside the mirror holds Alan? But to be honest, it's very strange. Didn't the father have plastic surgery on Maria all the time and wanted to make his daughter a perfect work, so why would he be afraid to look at Maria's body? If the director wants to make the foreshadowing easier to understand, I don’t think it’s necessary to write that the father is angry and uncomfortable and the daughter undresses in front of him. Instead, he can write that the father looks at it with admiring eyes. It can also create a terrible image of the father's pursuit of perfection, and can write that the father only regards the daughter as his own work.
