The director wanted very well, but I didn’t see it.

I think the director really wants to create a story full of tension and change in a house: the relationship between characters is changed and reversed, the relationship between men and women is multi-line, and the force and emotion are intertwined, but it is a pity that this story is really too Thin.
The male protagonist has always been active towards Kristen. It seems that the male protagonist is a group of flowers around and only likes Kristen, and Kristen is a naive and restrained woman, mature in appearance but very passive at heart, waiting for someone to take her Leaving this, the hero and her seem to be a pair. Later, Kristen took the initiative to devote himself, and it seemed that he was full of courage, but I really don't understand what Kristen's intention was? It means that although I found your adultery, but you paid the price of a leg, so forgive you? At the last moment, she told the female student to pay attention to the stitches on a line, and seemed to care nothing about the death of the male lead. I really don't understand this person, where is the change? And I can't see how much Nicole Kidman restrained her. It seems that Teacher Nicole is not the biggest threat to her to prevent her from leaving this school.
Nicole Kidman has been taking the initiative to the male protagonist. She looks like a self-made woman who has been suppressed by Christianity for too long. She has been recounting that although she is brave on the surface, she is actually doing something compelling to do, which means I It also needs someone to love it. The hero has been respectful to her, and he did not see that the hero did not go to her room and caused her any psychological harm.
Ai Li Fanning’s role should be a "precocious puberty" among a group of girls. Her curiosity and interest in male protagonists are manifested early. She is like the woman who first understood what love is, her psychological maturity and acceptance Even older than Kristen, her way to say goodnight to the hero is to kiss him. But except for the first dinner party where the heroine was drinking behind her, I can't see when the heroine hooked up with her. . . Maybe I am a bit stupid. . . Anyway, in life, "I thought it should be like this", but I didn't see the clue when it actually went in the opposite direction. . . Maybe this is not the reason for the director. . .
Where's the hero? He could see all the hints Nicole Kidman made to him. He drank brandy, told about the fragility behind his strength, and described his father. The male protagonist fully understood that this was the biggest sexual hint Nicole Kidman made. , But the male lead did nothing, did not deny or refuse, and did not accept. He also took the initiative to chat with Kristen. He saw Kristen's curiosity and depression of him, so he took the initiative in this relationship. And Ai Li Fanning should hit it off. The woman wants to enjoy the man, and the man is also happy to have a young body. For Amy, the male protagonist has always been under the guise of a good friend, and even allows Amy and Allie Fanning to compete with each other. The male protagonist enjoyed all this very much. All the women circled around him. His explosion and the calmness of the last dinner were so unpredictable for me. Why? Don’t you hate Nicole Kidman? Don’t you think they took the initiative to harm him? Why did the male lead calm down instantly after Christen dedicated his life?
It’s a pity that I can see the director’s intentions. As I said at the beginning, the house is full of changes, tensions, and reversal relationships, including men and women, strengths and weaknesses, etc. It’s a pity. The thing is, I can't feel it at all. This film won the best director at the Cannes Film Festival? Ha ha ha ha.

    Eight bitches cross the sea to show their magical powers. ps. Fanning looks the best. pss. Later, I looked back and checked that the original version was played by Clint Eastwood, and the anger broke through the sky.

    It is also a kind of ability for the erotic thriller to be able to shoot so still as still water. The characters are superficial, and the women's issues have not been made clear. I can't do it myself, but the behind-the-scenes team I invited is very good. [C]
