There are a lot of things that can be filmed in this story, such as thriller, feminist awakening, etc., but the director is not good enough to shoot it.

The movie simply plays out the story in a rough manner, without even a climax, and there are lines that make people laugh constantly. The biggest highlight is photography. Forest trails, gardens, dawn, mist, the composition of the picture is very beautiful.

Sofia Coppola probably won't be able to make a normal movie other than "Lost in Translation." The film uses force everywhere, but it's still a mess. The story of human nature caused by a wounded soldier breaking into a girls' school is exhausted. I was prepared that the film might be mediocre, but I didn't expect mediocrity to be a compliment to it.

    Every word the corporal said after losing his left leg was childish, and killing a poisonous mushroom was no more graceful than hanging himself. The photographer worked hard.

    I really want to recommend Coppola to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan"

The Beguiled quotes

  • Martha Farnsworth: That dress is very becoming, Miss Edwina.

    Edwina: Thank you.

    Alicia: There might be other attractive shoulders here if we were all permitted to wear such dresses.

    Martha Farnsworth: I wouldn't say it's entirely suitable to wear at a young ladies' school; though, we know Miss Edwina's accustomed to town society with different views. I would suggest that we - change the subject. And let Miss Edwina draw her shawl.

    [Edwina covers her bare shoulders with her shawl]

    Martha Farnsworth: Yes. That will avoid anyones speculation on the subject.

  • John McBurney: Well, well, well. What are you lovely Southern ladies learning today? The art of castration?
