The movie "Beauty in the Day", also known as "Beauty in the Day" and "Beauty in the Day".
At the beginning of the film, there is a tinkling bell. The heroine Sapphire and her husband Pia were riding in a carriage driven by a family member, driving in a forest.
The husband and wife were chatting affectionately. Suddenly, the husband turned from joy to anger, and asked the family member to forcibly drive his wife out of the car, drag him into the woods and hang him from the tree. He took off his clothes and let the family member whip her, and then the husband spoke in a relaxed tone. Tell Jiading "she's yours" and then [beep].
Seeing this, you may think that the plot is the same from the beginning, isn't it unimaginable later?
It does get weird as the story goes on, but that comes later.
At this time, there was a sudden transition. The husband interrupted the wife who was in a daze. It turned out that the scene just now was actively imagined by the wife.
Then into real life, Sapphire heard some prostitutes and the red light district from passers-by, friends, etc. in social situations, and behaved quite unnaturally.
Surprisingly, although Sapphire kept talking about how bad prostitutes are in front of her friends, she secretly knocked on the door of the prostitute in the red light district and asked to be a prostitute.
At first, Sapphire was cautious and hesitant, but gradually her inner impulse overcame the contradiction. In the end, she became a "day beauty" who picks up guests every afternoon.
During this period, Sapphire met all kinds of guests, a masochistic doctor, an abusive and fetish Asian businessman, a necrophilic Duke, a young boy and a friend of her husband.
And the gaps between the pick-up plots will be interspersed with some scenes of family life with her husband, as well as various bizarre forced sexual fantasy scenes of Sapphire.
Her husband, Pia, is a young and talented doctor who treats Sapphire with kindness and consideration. Sapphire is also a dignified and decent wife at home, but her performance is relatively cold.
With the development of the story, the young and dangerous client fell in love with the heroine, and found out the real name and home address of the heroine.
He wanted to own Sapphire completely, so he shot Pia, only to be shot dead by the police in the street, and Pia became disabled.
After Pia's accident, his friend who knew Sapphire was a prostitute came to his house and told him all the truth.
With an uneasy mood, Sapphire walked up to her husband, who already knew the truth, and saw two lines of tears streaming from her husband's sunglasses.
At this time, the scene changed, Pia stood up from the wheelchair, took off her sunglasses and asked Sapphire with a smile: "What are you thinking?".
In the background, the bell of the carriage jingle rang again at the beginning of the film. It turned out that all of this was also the heroine's fantasy.
Looking back at the well-dressed clients in the play, they all have a decent status in reality, but secretly they are diverse, with different shapes of hearts and desires.
The whole play is like a fantasy, sometimes people can't tell if it's reality or fantasy. It's just right to use this hazy color to express desire and reality.
Director Buñuel's method of handling it is like unscrupulously lifting the fig leaf with its glossy surface. When the audience exclaimed, "So this is what's underneath", he brushed it and covered it again.
Then he showed the smile that the male protagonist had when he woke up, and told the audience with a smile: " These are not true, do you think they are true? "
