      Swimming Pool Murder Case

      The translation name is also called the swimming pool murder. Thinking about love and killing is more rigorous. First of all, there is no planning process. Second, this love can be understood as the heroine's secret love for the editor. It can also be the heroine's desire for the girl's body and her service to the hotel. desire to live

      I didn't expect that the protagonist under the sexy poster is actually a single, lonely and perverted old woman... I thought it was Ou Rong's film for...

      A vague space that cannot be answered

      It would not be an exaggeration to say that this movie has been making mysteries all the time. If "Swimming Pool" is listed as a thriller, it doesn't seem that the audience will be frightened too much in the film, and the violent scenes in the film are far less than the erotic nudity scenes. On the other hand, as a suspenseful plot, it is only in the second half of the film that similar clues begin to appear, and they begin to lead the audience to go astray, and they also deliberately deceive...

      write for yourself

      Wow, looking at this Chinese translation, I really didn't think of this content. It is indeed like the comments I saw, the last half hour began to enter the "feature film" and the rhythm suddenly became very fast. I wouldn't know that I missed so many things without reading everyone's reviews. I didn't understand a lot of things. For example, I was also misled by the subtitles and thought that the publisher John had told writer Sarah that his daughter would go to the villa....

      It's the kind of good movie ruined by the translated title

      "Pool Killing Case" inspired my fighting spirit! ! ! The combination of virtual and real narrative is a technique used in many movies. The swimming pool has successfully blurred the boundary between virtual and real. For example, the isomorphism in the field of graphic design "superimposes multiple graphics to form new visual symbols with transcendence and breakthrough". The audience can combine themselves To interpret the feelings and preferences of the movie, this is also the...

      Voyeurism, illusion, suspense | bizarre erotic drama

      ——Those more natural and realistic plots are just a way for the director to deceive the audience.

      The film opens with a slightly gloomy office scene, and Rampling plays Sarah Morton, an accomplished suspense novelist. Because of the loss of inspiration for writing, I was troubled by this. Her publisher, Brand, invited her to recuperate at her hometown villa for a good vacation.

      So the picture...

      At that time, Ou Rong really liked to do this kind of ambiguous and vague... The main thing to watch was the atmosphere. Well, agreeing with Julie is just talking about a character, a personality that she hopes to become but can't become. Actor Julie's boobs are so pretty! ! But there are also many unclear points, such as what does waving mean, what does the scar on the stomach represent, what does the woman with a small but old face speak like a little girl mean, and the murder case in the...

      Step by step, layer by layer, more and more exciting. The reversal of the final ending has sublimated the entire script. Guessing who killed and who was killed from the beginning, still didn't guess right. I actually relished the behavior of these two women destroying their bodies after killing people. Charlotte's interpretation of the voyeur in the middle + the freedom of jealousy to the back + the strategic acting is awesome, Julia's figure is great! How obsessed the director is with this...

      Rarely watch suspense, this one is worth revisiting. That girl (murderer) actually pretended to be a writer's daughter, no wonder she was so arrogant and uneducated~ I remember that "beauty" was very capable of messing around, and brought her boyfriend home at night for ML... CR hates her very much~ but later helped her hide the murder Sin seems to be reconciled again. In the finale, the "beautiful" is actually a fake =.=|| CR smiled slightly, not shocked, but I was shocked by her...

    The famous mystery novelist Sarah Morton ( The Legend ) encountered a bottleneck in the creation of new works. On the advice of the publisher John Brand ( Walter Charles Dance ) , she came to John’s hometown-southern France Rembrandt, looking for inspiration while recuperating.

    There is a real suspense in "Swimming Pool". The tension of the drama mainly comes from the confrontation between the two actresses. In this regard, the screenwriter and the director cooperate very well, but the final surprise and reversal ending is unclear, a bit like The audience made a joke   . The film is a bit sexy, some mystery, and an attractive title. In the hot summer, the French swimming pool deeply attracted the audience....

    Movie quotes

    • Sarah Morton: I pity your mother.

      Julie: You pity her? Why?

      Sarah Morton: Well, I imagine having a daughter who comes home with a different man every night must be difficult for a mother.

      Julie: Well, you imagine wrong. You know what? You're just a frustrated Englishwoman who writes about dirty things but never does them. You can shove your uptight morals up your ass!

    • Sarah Morton: When someone keeps an entire part of their life secret from you, it's fascinating and frightening.

    • Julie: [sauntering over to Sarah's lounge chair, bikini bottom without the top, long legs, bare breasts, charming raw European accent] You not too hot?

      [the older woman wakes up, startled]

      Julie: Sorry I woke you up.

      Sarah Morton: [composing herself] No.

      [sitting up]

      Sarah Morton: I was just dozing.

      Julie: [soft laugh, casually sitting down flat next to Sarah's deck chair, not at all mindful of her lack of dress] You must be working too hard. You should take a swim in the pool. The water is cold. It will wake you up.

      Sarah Morton: Ah, well, thank you for your advice, but I absolutely loathe swimming pools.

      Julie: Yeah, I know what you mean. I prefer the sea too. The ocean,

      [smiling fondly]

      Julie: the crashing waves, that feeling of danger that you could loose footing and be swept away... Pools are boring, there's no excitement, its just a big bathtub.

      Sarah Morton: [coldly summing up] It's more like a cesspool of living bacteria.

      Julie: [looking back, clearly more optimistic about life] Oh that? No, it's just a bit of dirt and leaves.

      [Sarah nods, unconvinced, set in her ways]

      Julie: So, what are you writing? A romance novel?

      Sarah Morton: [smirks at the very thought] God, no, I write crime fiction.

      Julie: Oh, yeah.

      [disapprovingly:]

      Julie: That's how he makes his money.

      Sarah Morton: [haughtily] And that's how he can afford to buy a beautiful house in France for his daughter to enjoy.

      Julie: [slight frown, reminded of her status as Daddy's girl] What about you? Are your books selling well?

      Sarah Morton: [grimly] I can't complain.

      Julie: [chummily] What is this one about?

      Sarah Morton: [as if to quell her enthusiasm by pouring cold water over her] Murders. And the police investigation.

      Julie: [giggling] In the Luberon? With rich English stories?

      Sarah Morton: [her impatience now all-out] Listen, if you don't mind, I do have work to do.

      Julie: Okay! I leave you alone, Miss Marple. I need to make some phone calls anyway.

      [walks off, her wedge heels clattering, leaving Sarah to the emptiness of her departure]
