This is the first time I write a long film review, and in some places it is written without consideration and tolerance. Woodcock couldn't bear Alma's rampage into his life, disturbing his otherwise peaceful heartstrings and disrupting the rhythm of his life, and he was so dependent on her that he couldn't live without her. Whenever he reached the limit of his tolerance, he asked Alma to leave his life. Ake of Woodcock is aloof, restrained enough to want her to leave. This makes Alma feel helpless in a society that doesn't fit in with him, and suspects that he doesn't really love her. She was inspired by a breakdown in Woodcock, who became a child when he was ill, gentle and obedient, and very dependent on Alma. So later, when the two quarreled, Alma fed him poisonous mushrooms to restore him to the weak state that needed her to take care of, which made him realize that he couldn't live without Alma at all. And when Woodcock couldn't stand the outbreak of Alma's existence again, he witnessed Alma cooking dinner for him with poisonous mushrooms in the kitchen, and he was willing to eat this magical poison, in fact, in his heart , he didn't want to be a child. He also needs to feel the love of others. He misses his mother all the time, and when he is weak, Alma's embrace is like the warmth of his mother, which makes him fall into it and can't extricate himself (It is not ruled out that Woodcock has an Oedipus complex. ). The so-called one thing falls one thing, it is very suitable for this movie, a noble seamstress bows down to the skirt of a country girl. There is no class distinction in love, only the tacit cooperation of "one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer". Alma saw through Woodcock's fragile heart under the cold exterior, so she learned to train Woodcock. She made him feel loved and cared by his family, so that he could love himself with all his heart. And a man is willing to fall from heaven to earth for his wife, to change his life and cater to his wife, this is not a great love. I don't think Alma feeds Woodcock's poison to keep him by her side not as a morbid control, but as a discipline. Woodcock firmly believed that a tailor would not marry, and he was seldom in love, like an unpolished pebble, rough and sharp. In his love with Alma, although he loves Alma deeply, he doesn't know how to face this love. He can't accept that his life is disrupted by love, so his unease turns into restlessness and anger. He couldn't tolerate Alma, starting from the fact that he couldn't tolerate Alma eating too much at breakfast. And after the first "poisoning", he realized the importance of Alma, and Alma completely changed his original idea that the seamstress would not get married. Alma subtly influenced his attitude, rejecting After Jue went to the ball with Alma, he regretted it again and hurried to the ball to find Alma. And this tolerance was completely absent from the beginning. And after the second "poisoning", he was greatly affected, and he could dance with Alma and have children with her. It can be seen that although Alma has poor taste, she is very shrewd towards men.
