Yes, this is the title of the first episode. The title of each future episode will be this long.
After watching the first episode yesterday, I always felt something familiar, deja vu.
Later, I remembered that it was the movie "Chicago", in which several women got together because of anger and killing their husbands. It's just that "killing" is not the point in the movie. The battle between the two women, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger, is the point.
Lucy Liu also starred in that movie. Although it was a supporting role, it was very dazzling. And the hairstyles and costumes in that movie are also very similar to the Why Women Kill. To be honest, it seems that Liu Yuling's style reminds me of "Chicago".
"Deadly Woman" distills "The Husband" and "Why Kill" from "Chicago".
Three heroines, three lines go hand in hand. I watched the preview before and worried that it would be long and boring. But watching the first episode, the rhythm is tight and the scene switching is natural. Hope to keep this pace in the future.
The age is different, but the marriage pattern does not seem to have changed, but it also inevitably bears the imprint of the times. Rob in 1963 said in the opening introduction that his wife made sandwiches and sewed buttons. When the neighbor came as a guest, he didn't even pretend to respect his wife. He asked her to pour the coffee and just tap the cup, like "treating a maid". If it was the two from the 1980s and 2019, I am afraid that the big ears have already fanned the past. But Beth in the 1960s defended her husband in front of the neighbors, saying he was a good provider.
Simone, a socialite in the 1980s played by Lucy Liu, accidentally married a homosexual in her third marriage, probably to cover up her identity, and Simone accidentally became a "same wife". While there are no household chores here, it is clear that marriage and women are once again some kind of tool for men. Liu Yuling made a vain courtesan very real, the ambulance was waiting there, she still had the leisure to lie to the neighbors to save face, and finally got into a fight with her old enemy Wanda.
The 2019 lawyer Taylor is a strong woman and bisexual. Husband Eli also complained about her littering clothes. The house is messy, and men think it's women's responsibility. The open marriage of the two, if Beth in the 1960s saw it, I'm afraid it would feel like a fantasy. The characteristics of the era are clear. When Taylor's same-sex lover Jade encounters a situation, Taylor plays the hero who has always been rescued by men. In the process, Taylor even rejects Eli's offer of help. Life, salvation, and even sex, can be completely removed from men.
Beth in the '60s takes the advice of her neighbors and confronts Rob's cheating partner, April, the waitress, and prepares to make a restaurant scene. It turns out that April is a very sympathetic girl. When the neighbor suggested it before, Beth also said that maybe the girl didn't know that Rob was married, so she was very reasonable. It was a scene that left a deep impression on me, in stark contrast to the common videos on Weibo where the original partner beat the mistress. If a man makes a mistake, he will find a man to settle the account, so why bother other women.
Simone in the 1980s found out that her husband was gay, and faced the temptation of her friend's son, Tommy, and calmly asked his age. "Although committing a federal felony would make me a little bit happy, no." Simone is the main character of the episode's dark humor.
Jade borrowed from Taylor's house and was thankful for keeping the house spotless and having a delicious breakfast. Taylor asked her husband if you always wanted me to be this virtuous.
The killings of the 60s are taking shape, the 80s and 2019 are still in the making.
Although the concepts are different, men's expectations of women in different generations have not changed, and women's tolerance of men's betrayal has not changed.
Looking forward to the next episode, titled "I'd Like to Kill Ya, But I Just Washed My Hair."
Yes, my mother's makeup is much more important than yours.
