When I first heard the name "Beauty in the Day", I didn't think of its true meaning at all. On the contrary, I thought it was a movie that praised the image of beauty who cultivated both inside and outside, and it was a movie with three views.
When the name Belle de Jour came up, I immediately thought of a Japanese drama - "Day Yan". It is also the betrayal of his wife, and the same derailment in the daytime.
Male infidelity is a common occurrence in movies and TV shows, while female infidelity in film and television works is extremely rare. In fact, there are not a few women who violate this taboo in real life, because of their husband's indifference, violence, or just because of their own emptiness. It is obviously not feasible to put these directly on the screen. The moral abduction of women is much higher than that of men, which is bound to be abused by the public. A woman's affair is the most shameful thing ever.
"Beauty in the Day" and "Beauty in the Day" break this taboo. Not only have they not been boycotted by the audience, but they have also prospered in their respective periods, causing an uproar. This uproar is a reflection, a face-up to the dark side of real life.
Both works use psychological theories to provide plausible explanations for the heroine's escapades. The heroine is in deep trouble at first but she doesn't know why, and then the plot booster shows up and points the way for the heroine. The heroines have gone through huge contradictions and struggles, and finally fell into the quagmire irreparably. Secrets are always to be discovered, and after quarrels and confrontations inevitably lead to tragic endings.
It's a tragedy, but it's actually a relief. The heroine of "Day Yan" divorced her husband and finally got out of the married life without love. The heroine's husband in "Beauty in the Day" is paralyzed, and she no longer has nightmares and returns to a normal life.
The public always subconsciously places women in a lower position. Are women in seemingly happy families necessarily happy? Should women be accessories to men? Whether women who run away under social pressure should be forgiven. Deviance is indeed wrong, but this kind of error is largely due to the moral kidnapping of women in this society.
