than the first one. The first part was entirely about Joe's personal experience, and in the second part she became a symbol, a point of view. The plot of the second part does not serve the characters, but rather the characters serve the point of view, and the point of view drives the plot. When it comes to mirrors, it is not Joe that is reflected in the mirror in the picture, but the camera. Is it Joe sitting in the room, or the director himself? Is Joe just a collection of the director's views rather than a real character? This makes the story of the second part unattractive, even a little far-fetched. Plus, the way the second film was shot even ran out of light like that room that was gradually devoid of interesting things to discuss. The ultimate expression of sight, hearing, touch, and smell in the first part no longer exists. I don't have much problem with the finale, but the part before the finale confuses me. Jerome has always been a scumbag, but what is his charm? P is obviously too smart to be a plaything for men, or even a tool for punishing Joe. 2020.05.22 Second brush
