    Perhaps only Louis Malle can really photograph what Eileen Chang called "the lice full of gorgeous robes", not peeping or hunting, but a warm portrayal, facing Susan Sarandon, facing Susan Sarandon. The 13-year-old Bo Ji Xiaosi, who is too beautiful to look at, shows and portrays with warmth rather than pornography. There are almost no bugs in the camera scheduling. I carefully read a few lines of "you seem a little rabbity to me" "monsieur" in French, the screenwriter Polly Platt's skills should be very solid. This movie, which was born before I was born, has no flaws in it now, it is breathtakingly beautiful, and its portrayal is so thorough, reaching the level of Jin Ping Mei, King Kong's glaring eyes and Bodhisattva's low eyebrows, with elegant aesthetics, it brings brothels and World War I back together. The American society shoots the body in pieces, cow!
