The Deepest Confrontation: Human Nature Is Good or Evil

After watching the movie, I turned around and found that the director was Korean and Mi Shuai was the screenwriter, which was beyond my expectations, but was unexpected. There is absolutely no direct American way of expression in the whole film. The director is a storyteller, but he takes out such and such details from the box little by little.
The Korean movies I've seen so far have a kind of dull narrative, dark literature and art, stacked carefully, echoing the beginning and end here and there, sometimes it's interesting, sometimes it's boring.
Snow angels, eighteen-year-old high heels, hereditary tendencies to kill, moral controversies that border on incest, cobblestones, and more.
I never thought the story would end like this. The moment before the heroine sat in front of the piano, she really wanted to go to New York with her uncle, but the next moment, she changed her mind and took out the book from the suitcase, which was prepared by her father for her uncle. In the end, it was used on her body, which is simply ironic. According to some comments, the heroine may have killed her siblings when she was a child, so the possibility is quite high.
Wonderful way of telling a story.
It is strange that some people are born with a gentle personality and live in peace with the world; some people are born cruel, have a mild family environment, but are bloodthirsty in their genes. The uncle is like this, and so is the heroine.

    Pale and refined, aesthetics make people love it. Mi Shuai would dare to say you to this script—not Ji. Matthew Goody is so handsome, strangle me with a belt~~strangle me~~

    At best, it's a vintage clothing show. The color of the picture is beautiful, and the pretence is so compelling.
