Greetings cut the vegetables slowly, even emotionally. The picture is very delicate, and the gray and black tones reflect her delicate beauty, like fresh carrots, kale, and lettuce. She is a simple girl who loves everything in life and enjoys being in her own little circle until her father sends her to work as a maid with a painter Yang.
Greeter entered another circle, a mysterious circle, someone else's circle. Yang Zhongri locked himself in the studio. The hostess always had a cold attitude. She didn't say a word or smile. The children were full of hostility towards her. The maids were also cautious. What's up with this home. This arrogant family has now come to an end. There are many daughters in the family, but the mistress is still alive. Yang Niannian painted and sold his paintings to barely maintain the family's livelihood. The object of selling paintings is a greedy and lustful painting dealer, who always makes the Yang family pay a maid as a condition for selling paintings.
Everyone here lives in someone else's circle, they are bound by others, they slowly compromise until they give in, and finally lose the ability to get out of this circle and live in their own circle.
Yang was about to start preparing for the new year's work, and at this time, Greeter broke into his circle. Not so much a break-in as an inadvertent step. The hostess did not dare to enter Yang's studio, which was a taboo for her, she did not dare to destroy everything about him, painting was his life, and painting was also her and her family's livelihood. She is completely controlled by his circle, laughing for him, living for him, she looks noble, but she is a person living at the bottom of this circle, unable to raise her head to take a closer look at her husband, the circle he loves. But Greer saw it. The mistress sent her to clean the studio, to spy on the secret room, and she was terrified. Gree Ye didn't understand the so-called bondage, and she didn't understand what the hostess was afraid of. She wiped the dirt on the window, changed the color of the light in the room, and changed the furnishings in the room. She was changing Yang's circle and at the same time. It is also to establish a circle of his own in his circle, and the two are blended. Yang also gradually accepted, integrated into his circle, and slowly accepted her opinion.
Yang took Greer as the protagonist of his new work and began to paint her with heart. She is not only the person in the painting, but also a cold-eyed observer of the painting. She let him escape from that inherent circle and rigid soul according to her own wishes and thoughts, but she did not know that she was deeply captured by him. Yang led her into his own world, introduced him to everything in the secret room, got involved in an unknown world, models, mirrors, various colors, and the grinding of pigments, he taught her one by one. And she also used her innate inspiration for painting colors to bring him into a very relaxed, fresh, natural and soft oil painting world.
The circles of the two are slowly coming together. For him, for art, she compromised. Take off the hijab, let loose the hair wrapped in the hijab, part your pink lips, and even put on pearl earrings. However, Yang's attention and love for Greet caused the hostess's jealousy and resentment. She broke out. She realized that her position in his circle was threatened, and she was almost powerless to please him. She could only use hysteria to get it back. own location. However, he also lived in the circle of his wife. He has lived by his wife's side and his mother-in-law's side for decades, and even though his heart is no longer there, his body is firmly nailed to the center of the circle. That's right, he is in the center of their circle, very important, but he can't escape.
In the end, everyone still lives in each other's circle, and only she leaves reluctantly. Walking through the darkness of the studio and returning to the original gray city, with the gray floor tiles forming a circle under her feet, she once again stood in her own circle, thinking about the girl in the painting who disappeared forever.
Everyone in the film is tied to each other as a chain. Greet silently admired and loved Yang, broke the taboo for him at the time, let him see the hair under the hood that even her boyfriend could not see, and pierced his ears with a needle at the risk; Yang was bound by his wife and gave up his life. The hard-to-find confidant returned to responsibility and etiquette; the wife's mother was bound by the family, endured conflicts, and watched her daughter suffer for love, but wanted to help Yang Hanlei to steal her daughter's pearl earrings for the family; The art dealers are bound, and in order to sell the paintings, they go out of their way to entertain them, and they force a smile when they speak ignorant words. At the end of the film, everyone grows old, everyone is bound by this chain, and this circle becomes old and cannot escape, and can only explode or perish in it.
The color of the whole film is gray, the floor is gray, the city is gray, the clothes are gray, and even the sunlight is gray, but the tone of the film is a bright, evenly ground, and soft warm color mixed with a hint of helplessness. With her milk-like skin, pale eyebrows, pink lips, gray-green eyes, bumpy facial features, and brown-red hair, she looks like a girl in oil painting. Her simplicity, naturalness, intelligence, and refinement not only attracted the family, the guy who sold meat, the art dealer, but even moviegoers. Her attraction is invisible, like milk accustomed to comfortable attraction; her attraction is a soft light, and the gray film is full of sunshine.
What is Greet's attraction? The dealer said Gree opened Yang's soul, and Yang opened the door to her soul with a paintbrush. He does not love to paint, but wants to paint and draw an understanding, and this understanding is Greer.
The touching part of the film is that at the end Gree received the pair of pearl earrings from Yang. The earrings that she had stolen and hung on her ears are now firmly held in her hands, but they are more nihilistic and sentimental than before. The film is finally fixed on the portrait of a girl with a pearl earring, with anticipation and escape in her eyes. It seems that she has long known that she will return to her own circle, holding a memory.
