The young lady on the opposite side keeps leaning and smiling, her slender hands are wearing simple and fine black gloves.

Some people are shallow and can be redeemed

2 and a half hours of film divided into three
The first part is the perspective of the maid Tamago:
The lady and Izumi Hideko, who have never been out of the gate, are ignorant of the world, and are spied on by their perverted uncle, and even want to marry her for the inheritance of her mother; the handsome and humorous and mature Earl runs away to get married in order to deceive her trust. Taking the property and then calling her mentally abnormal and sending her to the lunatic asylum, she has been preparing for three years and is a master liar who deliberately studied painting, reading, and the manners of the upper class; even the innocent and gentle maid Yuzi herself is a liar. In this way, it seems that Miss Izumi Hideko's life has been shrouded in a web of darkness, and there is not even a glimmer of hope. All the conspiracies proceeded smoothly, the earl gained the trust of the simple lady, the maid did not interrupt the whole plan although she couldn't bear it, the two eloped, and the fragile lady insisted on taking Yuzi with her. Getting married, getting the property, and arriving at the door of the lunatic asylum, Yuzi burst into tears, but suddenly found that the doctors and nurses called herself the Countess - the plot reversed, the earl said that his wife suffered from hallucinations, and always thought he was a maid - the maid Yuzi was like this. Caught in a lunatic asylum, the ending is too sudden.
This part is interspersed with a few tender details:
Yuzi, who was born in a family of thieves, is flexible and cunning, with a round face and dark skin, big and bright eyes. While doing the business of buying and selling babies and coaxing the crying baby because of hunger, I was thinking: Keiko (can't remember, it should be wrong) will only feed her own son. Why do I have no milk, if I had milk, I would feed all the babies here.
This thief who is full of maternal love, immediately after Miss Xiuko was pierced by her fangs, she immediately brought a tool to her fingers to help her round her fangs.
When the two were angry and ignored each other, Miss Shi lied that she had a premonition that she had a nightmare and asked the maid to sleep with her.
The background music has always been soothing and peaceful, even the tragic deception seems
normal The prologue perspective was changed to Izumi Hideko
I'm not a bad woman - the camera turns to the young lady: her father and mother came to North Korea from Japan to defect to her aunt and uncle, but she was taught a hard lesson by her uncle on the first day. It begins with the young lady's life experience and tells the story: her aunt hanged herself, and she was forced to learn to read nasty erotic novels aloud in public. Fear made her understand everything - Mrs. Sasaki was the wife of her uncle who married her aunt to climb the upper class, the aunt who seemed to hang was tortured to death, the uncle would marry him for the property, and the earl was close to his intentions. She had prepared herself a rope for hanging. The Count soon realized that the seemingly ignorant young lady in front of him had no desire to live, and that the cold deceit could not start, so he told the young lady and the deceit all about the deception, and decided to change the deception, instigating the young lady to conspire with him, and convincing Yuzi to believe that the young lady was innocent, and the young lady Establish a friendship, accompany her to elope, and then send Yuzi to a lunatic asylum as a young lady, he takes the money, she is free, and spends the rest of her life as Yuzi. Hideko Izumi, who was originally struggling to survive, suddenly found that she had a possibility of freedom, and finally chose to go all out and join forces with the Earl.
At this time, our cunning and dexterous thief Yuzi did not know that there was already a oriole opening his mouth behind the mantis catching cicadas. The
deception after the deception unfolded more smoothly: the thief Yuzi did not know how to read, and the earl and the lady blatantly used her to pass secret letters to negotiate with each other. One detail
The truth has been revealed and the details are beginning to become unobstructed: the earl touched the lady's arm, waist, thigh, teasing that I am not interested in you, if there is, it is also your money.
The only accident of the smooth scam is that Yuzi, a 17-year-old thief's maid, has a flood of motherhood, and she is panicking at the first sight of the monologue: she is so beautiful. The young lady of the same age who lacked love since childhood quietly moved her heart under the considerate and gentle care of the other party. The earl and the young lady pretend to flirt for deception, which makes the thief Yuzi jealous, and her possessiveness breaks all the rules. At this time, she didn't know that she had become an abandoned child.
The young lady kept silent, pretending to know nothing and asking the thief Tamiko's opinion whether she should elope with the earl and get married. Thief Tamiko's thirst for money overwhelms love and conscience, and answers yes. The young lady held back her tears, pushed the thief out of the door resolutely and angrily, took the hemp rope and ran out and hanged herself - the one who first moved his true feelings was the most angry, the most disappointed and the most desperate. But the thief Yuko caught her hanging in the air - tears and tears, she confessed her mistake, fully revealed the count's plan, and apologized. The lady said I already knew.
Then the little lovers joined forces.
According to the count's plan, he eloped and got married, and sent the thief Yuko to the lunatic asylum. Then there's the plot twist we can guess - the earl is seduced by the lady and pours a glass of opium into a coma, and wakes up to find two people standing in front of him - hired by his uncle who is madly chasing after him. The earl was escorted back to North Korea, and the thief and the maid, relying on Yi Rongshu and the earl's documents, successfully boarded the ship bound for China and escaped. The uncle tortured the earl in various ways, trying to get the news of the young lady. The earl lit a cigarette containing high concentration of opium and died with his uncle.
The villainous liar and the perverted uncle get their deserved end, and the love between the wise lady and the kind maid has a happy ending - what a cheer.
It's a pity I'm not someone pure enough to be happy with Hideko Izumi and Tamiko the thief in the ending screen.
Has the lady ever loved the earl? (Why would anyone have such a ridiculous idea?) The answer is obviously no. The body honestly avoided the count's kiss, with a disgusted expression on his face, staring at the patience of the watch.
Did the earl love the lady? The answer doesn't seem so obvious, but it's still no - the earl's suppression of the young lady from behind is the desire for conquest, the desire to possess, the desire to prove male power, but there is only no love. His kisses are full of conquest skills, and because of his blind confidence in his own skills, he swallows the opium wine that the novice liar miss gives by word of mouth. The Count stared at the lady who took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat during the reading. Her skin was whiter than snow, her skin was black as night, and her perspiration was slightly fragrant. He secretly sighed, 'What kind of beauty is this'; the Count recalled the lady under the quilt: ' As beautiful as a child's song'. In the heavy and difficult breathing at the end of his life, the count recalled every scene of the young lady's weak and innocent appearance. The earl did not so much love a lady as a kind of beauty. A kind of beauty that all human beings long to perceive and pursue in their bones, even the ruthless, ruthless, filthy and lowly count who is at the bottom of the society longs for the beauty.
At the most, I can only think that the earl lived his life with a tight string, and at the last moment of his life, he did good deeds even when he was about to die, and moved a little sympathy for the young lady.
Maslow's needs theory table determines that the lowest level of human needs is physiological needs (breathing, water, food, sleep, sex), again security, and again love. We should not and cannot expect too much that the earl who can order wine without looking at the price is a major event in life the lowest level.
(So even a young lady who is struggling to live and a thief and a maid who want to live a comfortable life is a bit unreasonable. Of course, as long as the director is willing to love, the power of love is infinite, you know.) No matter how
smart the earl is Elegant but unable to decide one's own origin, unable to decide one's own needs, being intelligent and conceited makes people yearn for what they don't have, making people able to step on other people's lives without mercy, without shame and without hesitation Row. Step by step and careful planning, the earl's resistance and hard work should have come true, but director Park Chan-wook arranged a seemingly unexpected but justifiable female-to-girl love for a large-scale erotic drama to ruin everything.
Yes. When the young lady was hanged, shouldn't Yuko, the thief who learned the truth, just let her go and hang her on a tree? After all, in the face of life and death, self-preservation should be the most direct response of human beings. The thief Yuzi should at least let the young lady hang for a while and hesitate for a while before it is more in line with her identity and setting. Compared to the plot where the lovers end up getting married, I actually prefer the ending of the spy chief Liang Chaowei in Lust and Caution killing Wang Jiazhi - cruel, but the real
lady is not like the lady, the maid is not like the maid, the two of them are too deceptive. Gentleness is too amateur
, so I prefer the sophistication, sophistication, cunning, cruelty and seriousness of the Earl from beginning to end. This is the attitude and professional conduct a liar should have.
Of course, aside from doubts about rationality, we can also believe that love does indeed happen between two lonely women. After all, love is always beautiful. It is so beautiful that you can disregard your own life and be reluctant to let the other party die. The world is so dark, why don't you believe that love is light?
This glass of slightly blue opium wine should pay tribute to the Earl or to love.
(Park Chan-wook's shot is so beautiful that I can see Hideko Izumi inadvertently pulling away a little bit of clothes, revealing a little bit of skin and sweating in the last blue smoke. Yuzi's sparkling eyes and the surrounding small A cherry tree full of freckles and flowers. The kind Jinko I saw a few years ago is also clear, many of the shots are as clear as I just saw it)
