Maintaining youth and immortality are the goals that mankind has always pursued extremely. Women care about their beauty gradually aging over time; men are afraid that they will not be able to do their careers when they are aging.

The film is very ironic. The film made in 1992 is a very hot topic even if it is put in the moment.

Meryl, who has no acting skills and beauty, has been loved many times but always carries the inexplicable provocative Helen, a cosmetic surgeon who is bewildered by beauty.

The three of them have very distinctive personalities. Alice loves vanity and never compromises means for the sake of purpose. Helen has been robbed of her boyfriend by Alice many times, and her character is also contemptuous, unyielding, and provocative. The plastic surgeon was confused by beauty and left his girlfriend and married Alice. As a result, he lived a life of weakness and incompetence for 14 years.

Alice and Helen drank the Zhuyan water for their own purposes, and for their own benefit, they wanted to induce the doctor to drink the Zhuyan water. It may be 14 years of incompetent life, so that he could think more about his life. He knew Drinking Zhuyan water, he will be incompatible with the people around him, he will be lonely, he will watch the people around him age and die, and how terrible it is to become an ugly, immortal, immortal monster, he chose to refuse.

After watching this film, the deformed values ​​of the next part of the rapid development of the current era can be found in the three protagonists. The popularity and great interests of the entertainment industry have tempted many young people to leave their homes and flock to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangxi. Nowadays, there are cosmetic and plastic surgery hospitals in various cities. After all, today with such mature makeup techniques, many men and women are still dissatisfied with their looks. I choose to change myself through surgery, so I feel that my life will be different in the future. In the end, everyone who came out of the hospital was like plastic models produced on the assembly line, with no features and stiff faces. Did they really live the life of their dreams? Not at all!

Vanity is haunting and intrigue with others. In an impetuous society, people will lose themselves, but the important thing is that they should know how to reflect on themselves, find their true self, and be who they are. Falsehood will only last for a while, it will not last forever, and will eventually be seen through.

The meaning of life is not in the endless time but in the present. It is much better to live out of yourself rather than what you are in the eyes of others than a life of mediocrity or a life of hypocrisy.

    The feeling of a fantasy cult, a woman drinking a mysterious potion in pursuit of immortality, the only disadvantage is that the aging of the body's organs will not stop. It is a great irony that the two of them came out of the male protagonist's funeral and fell into pieces. The hostess of the castle is Ingrid Bergman's daughter, very beautiful.
