      The adult and juvenile heroines of "Burning Plain" failed to fit together, and the goddess was in vain

      Although the "Burning Plain" has the goddess who sacrificed the color to play, and the story pays attention to psychological twists and turns, after all, the artificial trace skills and routines are exposed, and the heroine's non-participation is more prominent.

      The artificial traces on the script can be erased by an acting school with the skill of leaving no traces. But Schatz Theron, goddess, goddess of perfume, this label has been solidified and has been deeply rooted in the hearts...

      burnt desire

      When both sexes are motivated by the reward circuit of dopamine, they repeatedly twitch and grind, and finally get pleasure. If they are lucky, they may find true love.
      An extramarital affair is nothing. Compared to the murder of a brutal end to true love, cheating is not a crime. British Prime Minister Cameron has a coquettish sentence: Any law that separates those who love must be amended. Marriage is the common choice of people of different nationalities in the long historical years. In...

      a scar from love



      Burn a scar on your hand, to remember a day, to remember a person. Use pain to remember love. Pain is exploited, and after the burning is over there is peace and scars and love. . is wonderful. Just like how I felt in the heavy ending song after watching this depressing, tangled, and unintelligible movie for a long time.

      If the movie is called Scar, I think it's okay too. Scars are for remembering, scars are for moving on, scars are for pain, scars are for love. The burning...

      What does the director want to do? what the writer wants to do

      Well, I thought that there would be some great plot in the end, and the
         narrative technique would be fascinating. In the last segment, the characters in the story were looking out of the window. What did they see?
         Why is that woman obsessed with sex? Afraid to face the future, have sex with different people and let sex paralyze you?
         Sandiago exists to make her have a perfect sex partner and help that woman get lost in sex and find herself?
           I'm ignorant and...

      The burning scar

      Two blonde mothers, same burning scars. Scars couldnt fade, life could only prolong with them.
       Mother desperately want lover to heal her ruined body, and daughter desperately want refuge to heal her broken heart, which, they did ,as I interpretted,for the fear of the coming fear.
      All that remind me of a saying that Nobody is Perfect. You may have a perfect body a perfect face but there are always something ugly beneath the surface. There are something you want to forget and hind but...

      note: When watching this film, I always felt that the director was framed by his multi-line number, which was sullen and trivial, but in the end, when things became clear, I would still find that this structure was still beautifully written by the screenwriter. , An unexpected treasure-box-style story, telling a story of half-obviousness and many...

    Evaluation action

    "The Burning Plain" is still an out-and-out formalist film, aside from its parallel narrative, the plot of the entire film will become pale. That kind of play structure and mystery have given movies a new language. It is difficult for this kind of movies to have profound meanings or propositions. Perhaps only the expansion of the form can complete the film style and move to a new realm. Movie audiences can only accept three-line...
