the natural helplessness

Alphonso 2022-04-23 07:01:47

I downloaded a movie a long time ago and watched it only two days ago. When I watch it, I don't know the genre or the plot. Affected by the Chinese translation, I thought it was a fashion film about strong women in the workplace. After watching it, I was surprised. The life of the heroine is so unbearable and even disgusting, but it is understandable.
Although it was such a tragic childhood, there is a desire to become a star that everyone is watching. Maybe it's the price of unrealistic dreams, she didn't study hard, she didn't have a degree; she didn't support herself with a decent job, she didn't have the skills and experience. Therefore, when she met her lover and wanted to change, she was so powerless, so she went with the flow and embarked on the road of no return. However, she still has unrealistic fantasies, thinking that she will not be discovered, so she continues to kill, and thinking that she can live a better life with her lover, so she continues to commit crimes. Maybe it's because the fantasy is too good to bear the unbearable life of life, or maybe it's the first taste of crime that makes it easier for her to live.
No one was wrong, just no one gave her a hand.
