I thought it wasn't as meaningful as the original.

Monroe's novels consist of three novels, each with its own theme, and the time is often fragmented and stopped abruptly at important moments. The three articles here combined into one movie feel that what they want to express is not very clear. The storyline loses its hazy beauty after being visualized by the performance, although Monroe's own words are so calm and realistic.

There are even two plot adaptations in the film that I disagree with: 1. Juliet stops Eric's hand from touching down on the train. Which means they didn't fuck. Even so, she could still run to his house to find him because of a letter. And the film actually let them dry firewood on the train. . . 2. Many episodes of Juliet at her father's house have been deleted. Forget it, and the episodes of arguing with the priest have also been deleted! ! This has a great effect on Penelope's lack of belief later, so it was deleted! ! Can't bear it.

I know that it is inevitable to make some adaptations of literary works for film and television, but this kind of inexplicable adaptation is still difficult to accept.

Can the adaptation of literary works be restrained a little?

I almost cried at the end. This latest Almodovar novel is so tender. The shallow depth of field of the large color blocks in many scenes is still very Amoy, and the maid setting reveals the shadow of Hitchcock's butterfly dream. The clever way of narrating stories deserves to be the backbone of the existing directors who insist on classicism.

The motivational foundation of the whole story is too weak, and the sudden transformation of the characters is unconvincing. Which daughter would suddenly and cruelly decide to never contact her parents again, what kind of cult is so powerful? Is it too far-fetched for a daughter to feel guilty about her father for so many years? The heroine's sense of guilt is too deep, isn't it? There is also death as soon as fishing, encountering daughter's best friend twice in a short period of time, daughter's sudden death of son, etc. The progress of the plot is too dependent on coincidence.
