Instinctive game

This translation is good under the peony. The English name emphasizes deception, while the French name says it is prey. Who is the prey? Sure enough, the peony died...

Men slyly use what each woman wants to cater to, making them think that they are the only one; when they find that they are not and threaten themselves, women will steadily pull away and protect themselves, and if necessary, let the "emperor die." So women don’t believe, men don’t act.

If a woman does not have this kind of humane kindness, sacrifice, and perseverance, she probably can't bear the heavy responsibility of human reproduction.

vs. Calmly talked about the idea of ​​poisonous mushrooms, flipped through the book and started picking (the mushrooms were really a good foreshadowing at first), had sex with a strong personal desire, and calmly joined forces to kill...

vs. Walk freely among the flowers in order to achieve personal goals...

Probably it is instinct for both men and women.

    What a horrible group of women! The title of the film is a literal translation of "Deceived", and it is called "Under the Peony" by Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is accurate. People are buried under the peony. It is said that there are many changes from the original novel and the 1971 film, indicating that the female director Coppola still has her own ideas. Although it is general, you can still watch it.

    Colin Farrell doesn't have this kind of temperament that turns all beings upside down. His mediocrity and the beauty of photography can be said to be two extremes.

  • 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.
