It's a movie with a prototype... Theron's image and acting skills are subverted. I don't know why I always feel that the heroine in this movie is very similar to Matsuko, and both have the sadness of not being able to love. Both of them tried their best to hollow themselves out to get love, and finally ended up in vain. Sylby's appearance brought her hope and destruction, from the killing in self-defense at the beginning, to the escalation of the latter, and finally the annihilation of humanity, and everything was just to satisfy Sylby's pursuit of a prosperous life. And she loves Sylby truly and deeply. Even if she realizes Sylby's prudent protection and betrayal in the end, she still protects Sylby without hesitation. What to say? If she hadn't met Sylby, she would have killed herself long ago, but if she hadn't, at least she wouldn't have become a ruthless serial killer. The world is too cruel to her, let her experience all kinds of tragic exchanging dignity and body for survival, and let her give her a slap in the face when she thinks she has found true love desperately to keep it... But murder pays fortune. Yes, maybe the first self-defense killing is justifiable, but the last victim...even in the name of love can't offset this serious crime.

Some people have tried their best to survive in this world, and the tenderness to herself that she has never experienced can make her willing to use everything in exchange for it, she just wants to get love...

What a coincidence, all three of them have won the Oscar for Best Actress... And some people, after going out of their way, I can only say that I really have no acting skills, no way, such as...
