Who is the monster?

At first glance, there is really nothing attractive about this movie. The heroine has grown up like this, and the murder scene is not exciting at all. Even the sex is so dark. If I watch it before going to bed, I dare not. Make sure you can last for an hour without falling asleep.
But how romantic this movie is, and it's so romantic.
In the part of the ice skating rink, Aileen was like a little boy who had just dated a girl and invited Selby to skate with her. Her ugly face had such an excited and happy expression, as if the little boy was in the middle of his beloved girl. Performed well in front of her, as if she became her flower protector. And Selby was so restless and shy, so in the end they kissed each other, and I was really touched when the sky thundered like fire. What if Aileen wasn't gay at all, the tough and shameless road hooker and the weak and gloomy little Lara were a perfect match.
But it's hard to tell what kind of a pair they were born with. Just like their pair, Aileen must have protected each other, paid for each other, and the one who was injured in the end, Selby must be protected. , the one that gets everything, the one that hurts the other side. Tragedy is doomed from the beginning, is there another ending?
In fact, the person who really has love and conscience in her heart is Aileen, and at least she has always felt guilt in her heart. And Selby is the one who is weak on the outside and shameless on the inside. Maybe she knew from the day she left home that she would come home one day, just like a tired child who would still cover her no matter how her parents beat and scold her.
Aileen has been reluctant to drag Selby into the water to protect her. And she herself has never been truly protected since she was a child. She paid so much for the dream of that home and emptied herself, and Selby finally left this home without any struggle and went back to the old home - maybe Selby never regarded the one that Aileen gave her as home .
Aileen always said that this world is too dark, those hopes and dreams are all scams, but she herself is the one who hopes and dreams hard. Maybe normal people who keep holding hopes and dreams are the hardest compromisers.
This world is too dark, maybe because there is love, maybe because there is no love.

    Theron's makeup is so ugly that I can't stand it anymore... Is it the end of the lesbian routine? It's not strong~
