Before I read any reviews, I'm going to write down my feelings. In the beginning, Catherine married Zu, had other lovers, and then fell in love with Zhan. I thought Catherine was not a female character, but a symbol; but then, she and Zu married and broke up, repeatedly, tortured Zu Hezhan, I think she is like Satan or Siren, seduces and throws it away, gets it and throws it away, pursues free love, and learns to live to satisfy herself. I don't know if Zu and Zhan were female and Katherine was male, I would still think she looked like a devil, but I would still hope for Zu or Zhan to be a better story.
Before watching this movie, I saw comments about different moral values, so I tried to dismiss my moral evaluations as much as possible while watching the movie. I look at the "love" in this film from the point of view of doubting whether love is between two people and whether it requires loyalty, and in reality these issues were unquestionable to me before.
This movie made me want to write a review for the first time, and I would watch the movie again, read the script, and I would keep changing the words until I felt like I articulated how I felt about the movie.
