it's a regular movie

It's a really good movie name, I love it. Unfortunately, this is a film about the mid-life crisis of the bourgeoisie. The title is very erotic, and the content is not even erotic. This movie was shot so well that it lost the attractive edges and corners, and some of the little tricks were not brilliant, not as good as "American Beauty".


But the character's costume is very interesting. The husband who had an affair has always been wearing trousers with suspenders, a bit like Jin Fei in "Legend". He has never changed his clothes, always wearing a light orange plaid shirt and white suit. Does Jin Fei have a dozen identical clothes?



Also watched Rashomon. I prefer Chaos. "Rashomon" has remnants of theater performances, not my type of cold.

    Very inspired, but, in life, many lies must be told, facing the camera, or a person who is staring at you and listening to you, will inevitably lie, show, exaggerate or evade.

    Four and a half stars. . Excellent, love it! A very stylized film, showing the complexity of human nature with very few characters and scenes. The film has a lot of close-ups and close-ups, especially relying on the performance of the actors. But the male and female protagonists gave extremely wonderful performances. The heroine has been suppressing her desires at first, and she seems to be a plain-looking housewife. After learning that she was deceived by her husband and sister, she decided to let herself go, and when facing the camera, she suddenly looked charming just by changing her eyes. The male protagonist has an abstinence temperament as soon as he appears. The most impressive thing is the introduction of the camera element, which not only continues the suspense of the film, but also affects all the characters psychologically. In the end, it can skillfully complete the lens switching, which in turn affects the audience's psychology.
