Packed under elegant set costumes is an outdated value: if you want someone who can't get them, make them sick! Simple stories explore the enduring theme of character relationships.
Director Paul Thomas Anderson uses classic beauty to present a twisted story. Perhaps understanding the background of the story will help to understand the director's intention. In London under the shadow of the post-war cloud, the pale singing and dancing of the aristocracy, and the exquisite but cold British etiquette, the male lead ready-to-wear master Reynolds Woodcock is the tailor that women most want to have in the world. Delicate and able to make Chinese clothes that make women fascinated by dreams. At the same time, he is arrogant, egoistic, obsessive-compulsive, and rejects long-term sexual relations.
The lover of the iron fortress and flowing water, as the heroine of the restaurant waitress, was spotted by Woodcock at a glance. Her figure and appearance were his ideal type. Like all of Woodcock's previous girlfriends, the heroine lived in his house. Be his model and lover. Woodcock met his opponent this time. He was stubborn, but this woman was more stubborn than him. She scoffed at the things he didn't like and wanted to change him. He didn't want to get married, so she used poisonous mushrooms to make him sick and make him inseparable from her.
Although this method is morbid and inadvisable, but they have to feel that one thing is one thing, and their temperament is quite suitable. No doubt Woodcock was a genius in his field, but in other things he seemed like a naive child. He is not good at managing the relationship between people, everything starts from self-awareness, and the girls he meets are actually low enough, so he can endure his restraint and fiddling from the beginning, and designing him as a tailor's career is really amazing, his girlfriend is in him In front of him was a series of cold models, and he only needed to be able to measure their bodies unscrupulously.
Although this love is morbid and dark, it has the most romantic words: "I want you to lie quietly, helpless, vulnerable, and unreserved, only me to help you"... It is difficult for us to live life as art, so It's still a plain life, feel attentively, and be more considerate of each other.
