Seeing Geoffrey Rush's spontaneity at the final auction, hearing his previous conversation with the fairy sister Claire, and back in the restaurant, the fairy sister said that she would no longer sell any antiques, basically It has been determined that this is a scam. When he walked into the secret room with the portrait of the fairy sister's mother, I was also doomed that what he saw must be a terrifyingly empty room.

Geoffrey Rush from Australia, who collaborated with Colin Firth on [The King's Speech], seems to have been infected with the delicacy of British actors. When he finally entered the secret room, at that moment The vertigo may seem a bit over the top, but it's clearly the way to go on a theatrical stage. The age and appearance of his and the fairy sister are too different. I originally thought that if the director chose an uncle of the same age but a little more handsome, he would have a better box office inspiration. But in the end, I agree with the director's choice. Such an old virgin, who is shy when dealing with any woman, will appear unconvincing if he is too handsome, and the ending will not appear so tragic. Claire played by Sylvia Hoeks is indeed pale enough to play a tomb fairy who has lived in seclusion in a big mansion for 16 years. Standing behind the statues of Adam and Eve, peeping at a girl without underwear licking her toes, it is estimated that at that moment, he was unable to extricate himself.

Until the end, the story revealed the final veil in the mouth of a dwarf woman. It turned out that the number that this seemingly abnormal dwarf always recites is to pave the way for future stories. An antique dealer who has been fooling others all his life has been fooled by two young repeat offenders. This kind of story is not new, it's just the same theme, the director didn't make it into a comedy, and how Claire and Robert colluded behind the scenes was also blurred. The director's original intention is to explore the true and false of love through the connection and difference between genuine antiques and fakes. Sister Shenxian's confession with tears in the secret room, isn't there a real existence? Those embellished sex scenes, those moments of memories, those who knew that it was a false feeling under the mask, might allow Oldman to survive the rest of his life in the hospital.
