The truth is often ugly, so people have learned to whitewash it.

Sincere emotional loopholes are full of pain, while pretentious love is deliberately catering to the heart.

In the battle between the three women, the question is: which one do you choose, true love or false love? It seems that everyone will answer without hesitation, of course, with real feelings. But the hard truth is that true love is often full of flaws, it's about jealousy, it's about possession, it's about interest, it's about desire. The truth is often ugly, so people have learned to whitewash it.

I have seen the absurdity of "The Lobster" and "Dog Tooth" without a tragic ending. Lanthimos's deepest curse and concern for power itself, there will never be normal love and love, respect and respect are false, only hurt really existed. It is a kind of carnival knowing that one's life is near, and the emotional background is eternal sadness.

    God, the Gorgeous man who had poor acting skills for the sake of ugliness endured the stench and watched an acid film of a nasty director's technical contrived hysteria deceiving the Actor Award (marketing number "Break!" の acting lololololol). what to do? Worse than "The Lobster"! Does the pump only have two expressions? Rotten to death forever on my must-skip list. So uncomfortable, what can I do to wash my eyes? !

    The language is rude, the aristocratic life is decadent and absurd, the queen is sensitive, violent and capricious, the palace fighting methods are naive and direct, some of the darlings are innocent and ambitious at the same time, and some are lucky but have a heart for the country. The ritual of repetition and contrast, which the director loves, is suitable for Gongdou dramas. The palace was originally the road to the holy (so it is full of contrasts), the rituals in the court, the ritualization of relationships, and the rituals emerge one after another here. His ritual experiments along the way, from proposing a theoretical framework, to a closed, cold laboratory (in vitro), to this one becoming more human (in vivo). Perhaps the historical drama itself is relatively open. What's more, the comparison and repetition this time are the queen and her two darlings. The possession and use of delusional love, and the negative concern and dependence, are repeated and compared with how the two darlings win the queen's love, and I will show you the experimental results: the previous "passive implication is doomed and futile", here is "love" futile labor". With love or without love, the three protagonists are finally accomplices with more positive results.
