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.

    Sofia Coppola knelt down and watched "July and Ansheng" ten times, but still couldn't understand the East Asians' understanding of Gong Dou Opera. The attitudes of women of different ages towards men, pure friendship, seduction at the level of sexual enlightenment, desperate to agree with each other, even if they are tempted, they make rational decisions at critical moments. I hate this kind of script that uses character oral broadcast to explain the background of the story.

    The sturdy muscles were covered with white cloth and turned into cold bones, and the gorgeous mansion was hung with blue silk like a gloomy black hole. Lust is the thorn on the stem of a rose. A girl misses the evening prayer to break free from dogma and pierces her lower body regardless of her body. Greed is a poisonous mushroom under a peony flower. A man is full of romance in the midst of all fragrances, and he has no choice but to become a ghost. Women cannot quell the thirst confined in the mansion, men cannot endure the torture of confinement in hospital beds, holding hands in prayer, they are all prisoners of desire.
