The view of Chinese sages thousands of years ago that nature is inherently good and inherently evil is reflected in Xiba. Desire drives her across moral boundaries and has an affair with a 15-year-old male student. But Sheba is by no means a slut. She is a good mother, and she has spent ten years taking care of her inherently stupid son; she has never seconded her husband who is old enough to be her father. If it wasn't for the provocation again and again by that ignorant child, how could she be so easily used by Barbara. Besides, she almost fell in love with that child.
No, that's not the case. Even without Connery, Sheba will eventually release her long-held desires through other abnormal channels. Her inner depression and desire were penetrated by the wily Barbara. From then on, her life began to sink in. Barbara lays the imperceptible trap - from discovering Sheba's affair with Connery, promising to help her keep a secret, to roaring and ordering Sheba to cut ties with Connery, to Sheba acting as she expected The warm comfort of being abandoned by Connery "like a dead fish", even if she shakes out Sheba's secret, she still comes to her in time like a savior - all in the name of friendship, all in the name of redemption name. Yes, if this old lady with a wrinkled face and an upright expression takes the initiative to approach you and help you, how can you be on guard against her except for gratitude and trust?
If Sheba's desire is due to being suppressed for too long in a discordant family, then Barbara's desire comes from decades of loneliness and the fear of dying alone. What I couldn't figure out at first was if she was so afraid of loneliness, why couldn't she find a wife, a man to spend the rest of her life, and yet be interested in mature women. I guess she's not just an old virgin, she's also a Virgo - picky and perfect. She said to Sheba that "people are too eager to prove that they have found their other half", which is a bit like defending herself, obviously she is not that kind of person, so she has not found her other half until she is old, but she is still stubborn Obsessed with beautiful things, those shiny skins, those magnetic voices, those young bodies. It's just that she can't control and attract a normal young man, so she targets those beautiful women, and they usually have some chronic diseases, which gives Barbara an opportunity.
At the last moment, Sheba may have almost completely left the home she had given everything and betrayed, and she put on smoky makeup and red lips to look like she was before marriage, Barbara's The goal may have been nearly achieved. But she discovers Barbara's diary, the name of the film, Notes on Scandal, and all the conspiracy. She was angry and mad, she roared at Barbara, she rushed into the group of reporters and shouted at the sky, other than that, she didn't know how to vent her anger, but she also failed to break out of the ruthless containment of reporters , it was Barbara who pulled her back. Another rescue. The house returned to calm, and Shiba's mood was relieved. Barbara was cleaning up the broken glass on the ground, and Shiba was still questioning the contents of her diary, but she was helpless.
I love how the scene is set up, the calm thinking after the fierce fight, Sheba finally knows where she's going, she goes home, her husband forgives her and stays with her - ten months in prison. Because of Sheba's behavior, in addition to contradicting the moral system, it also violated the law. Barbara, on the other hand, targeted another girl.
The moral system is used to restrain good people from making mistakes. If a person has no conscience, how can she fear this invisible restraint? All I can say is: please respect yourself.
