The heroine Bel is actually very good-looking and has the style of that era. I had a very good impression of her at the beginning of the show. As the plot went down, I kept deducting her points, and at the end I couldn't bear to watch her anymore.
If you want to create a "strong woman" image, in other words, an independent and strong woman who desires a successful career, even if her heart is swaying, you should show some of this superficial temperament, and put your mouth half open. Close, this is not the time to pretend to be ignorant and cute. If it's a natural facial structure, I didn't say it, but you clearly have a calm aura with your mouth closed——!
Bel yearns for love, doesn't want to be bound by marriage, and doesn't want to be like her mother. All of this is actually a little contradictory, and it quickly manifests itself in the following episodes. At first she pushed Hector for a long time, and every time she got close she had the courage to push away. At this point I think her sanity is very admirable, although she sometimes hesitates to push. Then they got into it quickly after Hector's wife Marnie invited her to the house. After persevering for so long, at his wife's house, he calmly accepted the happy and bold flirting with the other party - I have nothing to say.
Bel didn't tell her Freddie, a male friend who knew everything (he had a crush on her for a long time), but it didn't matter. Freddie knew it anyway, and he was shocked and sad when he found out about it, and even went straight (hey) to have a date with Lix. field. Bel's strong character was reluctantly manifested at this time, and she didn't want to lose Freddie. This is how I feel as an ordinary person - your buddy secretly likes you, you know, don't know, or pretend not to know, you find someone else, and then your buddy finds another place for happiness and comfort, it's not yours anymore, You're in for a treat. Does he have to be yours? Can your desire for exclusivity and control be part of your area of expertise?
Then many people warned them. Director Clarence had mentioned it, Lix had mentioned it, Hector's wife Marnie had mentioned it N times, Hector's father-in-law had mentioned it, and even Angus had threatened not to take this kind of affair and career risk. Everyone knows that this is wrong, but the two parties are immersed in the emotions of "what's wrong with love", "it's all the fault of the times" and "let's run away". Hector's marriage is just a stepping stone to his career. Yes, but it was also his own choice. Since he made such a choice, he must be responsible like a real man. It doesn't matter how much benefit it gives you. And Bel, such a woman who yearns for an independent career, didn't put any thought into the matter of the two.
Hector's wife, Marnie, hinted, said it, made a phone call, and ended up running to the office to find Bel because her husband wasn't coming home. At first, I didn't like Marnie, the daughter of a wealthy family. She didn't have to work. She learned bridge and painting every day, and attended various high-end banquets. But I soon discovered that she was the stoic one (albeit cowardly at times). She would change the subject when the conversation was embarrassing, and when she found out about her husband's affair, she would be quiet for fear that it would affect his reputation and career. She was never aggressive when she spoke to Bel, and she even said she was glad her husband had found a smart and good woman this time. Let's not talk about the sadness of the female character Marnie here. This is another good nonsense to say, close.
Go back to Marnie to find Bel. Marnie hoped that Bel would let Hector return to his family, but the idea that finally shook Bel was not "I'm a mistress and I'm destroying other people's family happiness", but "I'm just one of his mistresses who pushed the waves from the back of the Yangtze River" ——If you are willing to call this a distortion of three views, I will not say anything. Bel finally "sees" Hector. Women understand something, Marnie is a pity Bel. During the last live broadcast, Marnie brought Hector toiletries and a change of suits, because her husband hadn’t come home for a week, Hector was still fidgeting and dodging, she finally said , "This is the greatest shame I can bear as a woman", and said that I will file for a divorce if you don't come back tonight. She's still laughing, Emma is here and I slapped the table, this TM is the spiritual strong woman.
As for the love between Bel and Hector, yes, but I was stuck and didn't see much. I only see that every time she sticks it with an inexplicable honey face, she instantly turns into a blind woman. Come on, just fool me with the "power of love". Morality and respect are irrelevant in the face of love.
Finally Bel and Hector began to sort out. Bel shouted to Hector why men can be free from bondage, and they can have sex when they are married, but women are criticized for doing so and affect their careers? Then she said I don't want to be your mistress anymore. If a slap doesn't make a sound, of course it is a man's responsibility. But I'm not talking about Hector here, I'm talking about Bel, he's messed up, and you're messing up too? It's not his marriage or your view of marriage that binds you, it's you. Have you thought about what you really want, which is more important, which is nearer and which is farther, have you thought about it?
Women in those days were looked down upon, as can be seen from Angus's attitude towards Bel. But didn't I say, have you acted respectfully? Go for free love but don't cheat, okay? To balance work and life without mixing them up, okay?
If you feel that you are looked down upon, used, not recognized by the times, not reused, or unable to achieve success in your career, and then you cry, it is your own fault.
