After waiting for a long time, "Under the Peony" finally got the resources, the word-of-mouth work of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. I saw the little balls holding myself behind

Watched for the goddess Elle Fanning. The whole film has a mild atmosphere with jealousy and selfishness. The women are kind, but they are jealous of each other, dislike each other, and hurt each other to reveal the most real human nature, played by Dunst The teacher is exactly the core of this film. Although she really loves this northern soldier, but she watched them poison him to death, but she had to help others to carry the male lead out of the door, Nicole Kidd Man also seems to prove that if I can't get it, you can't even think about it. How beautiful is the woman under Coppola's lens, how thin the plot of this story is. After watching it, I found that the name of the movie translated into "Under the Peony Flower" is also very subtle.

    The forest surrounding the church estate is always filled with a chaotic mist, which first looks at the estate through a subjective peeping lens (it has been tucked away to witness the women moving men into the estate), and then becomes gazed back by the estate.

The Church Manor and the terrifying danger zone outside the Manor—possibly but not only based on the South versus the North—recognize the intruding men as the messengers between these two worlds, the women of the South who obliterate the messengers and Returning it to the outside world means that their attempt to break out of the inner confinement and explore the unknown frontiers (tried but failed) tragically failed.

    Chinese version: In the late period of the Civil War, a handsome national army pilot crashed into the jungle nun's nunnery in the mountains. The nuns rescued one after another, and even concealed his existence by the Communists, which led to riots among women. On the eve of the founding of New China, a bloody storm inevitably arrived...

The Beguiled quotes

  • John McBurney: How did you end up in this place?

    Edwina: Why are you so interested in me?

    John McBurney: I just recollect you and I are both a little out of place here. I bet you're the independent sort - and the other girls, they don't even know how to get close to you. And then, of course, there's your looks.

    Edwina: That doesn't matter to me.

    John McBurney: Oh, you can bet it matters to other people. Sorry to tell you and I hope you don't mind me telling you; but, well, in all my travels, I've never come across such a delicate beauty as yours.

  • John McBurney: If you could have anything, what's your biggest wish? If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?

    Edwina: Anything?

    John McBurney: Yeah, anything.

    Edwina: To be taken far away from here.
