The fierce battle between control and anti-control

Every girl has the potential to inspire artistic inspiration. The problem is that it is not difficult to be a muse once or for a while, but it is difficult to be a muse for a lifetime. In the film Phantom Thread, the entanglement between the artist and the muse draws a curve with frequent crests and troughs. There are many extreme examples showing the struggle between male and female spirits and flesh. For example, in "Lust and Caution", Tony Leung and Tang Wei put on various levels of difficulty that approach the complex shapes of the World Gymnastics Championships. The Phantom Thread's fashion designer hero Reynolds and his lover, Alma, have been in a fierce battle between control and anti-control, and the drama is the food. Reynolds is equally critical and demanding about food and his lover. He only needs to dip asparagus in oil and salt, but Elma spreads butter sauce. The dispute between the two does not need to be transitioned, but rises to the ultimate level of emotion: I have I don't need you anymore, please disappear from my life.

It's so disgusting that I want to leave the show halfway through. Elegance can be seen from the lens, but I can't understand where the peace and solace come from? Is there solipsism superior to others? Isn’t it clichés that the boss who is packaged as gothic romance falls in love with me? Sure enough, I failed the PTA reading comprehension again

Alma: It's no business of ours what Mrs. Rose decides to do with her life but she can no longer behave like this and be dressed by the House of Woodcock.

Reynolds Woodcock: [to the vision of his mother] Are you here? Are you always here? I miss you. I think about you all the time. I hear your voice say my name when I dream and when I wake up, there are tears streaming down my face. I just miss you, it's as simple as that. I want to tell you everything. I don't understand what you're saying. I can't hear your voice.
