The first portrait destroyed: sincerity is precious

As a copywriter who has been abused by clients all the year round, I have to quote a famous quote from Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Flowers on the Sea" heroine:

"The most rare thing for a shepherd is to meet good guests."

Portrait painters should do the same: everyday is the arrogant client of Party A, you can't educate them, you can only please while walking on thin ice, while secretly laughing at their little education.

But everyday life is meant to be broken, and a keen party A like eloise has appeared! She doesn't need your education, and in turn she wants to educate you:

"It doesn't look like me, I can understand. It doesn't look like it was by you, and I feel sad."

It's a heavy word, but a beautiful form. Party B marian was ashamed and destroyed the portrait.

What's wrong with the first picture?

To put it simply, it presupposes the viewer , and the viewer is not even eloise, but her aristocratic fiancé she has never met, and the object of eloise's sister even jumping off a cliff to commit suicide (although doubtful) in order to avoid marriage.

Although the act of destroying the portrait offended the mother of eloise, the real payer, but a responsible party B must do:

When your professional routine is ruthlessly exposed, you can only pay sincerity and try to build a deeper connection.

marian got a chance to repaint.

Through the Orpheus story, the two had a deeper exchange.

This film is also very sincere and restrained, just like the relationship between the two heroines, and just like everyone's praise "no lesbians are consumed".
