The scariest thing is the human heart

The "blood case" triggered by an elder lonely woman and a scumbag boy student is like a thriller movie rhythm, which makes you creepy from time to time, and the development of the plot is even more chilling. It is not good to look at the whole person.

A young beautiful woman whose no one understands me, an older lesbian who has no one to accompany me, as the years go by, they are troubled by their loneliness with nowhere to put them. The loneliness of young women stems from no one cherishes their wilting beauty, and the loneliness of old women stems from no one accepts their desperate desire. Different loneliness is destined to be unable to hold a group for warmth, so tragedy is inevitably born.

People in the play like to look for young people. Shiba's husband was a teacher when she chased her, and she was a 20-year-old student. Shiba had a relationship with the teenager. Barbara wants to take Shiba as her own and relieve her loneliness. At the end of the film, Barbara strikes up a conversation with a young sweet lady who is a profoundly scheming lesbian. Judy Dench, there is nothing she can't play.

Notes on a Scandal quotes

  • Barbara Covett: When I was young I had such a vision of myself. I dreamed I'd be someone to be reckoned with, you know, in the world. But one learns one's scale. I've such a dread of ending my days alone. But recently, I've allowed myself to think that I may not be. Am I wrong?

  • Barbara Covett: People like Sheba think they know what it is to be lonely. But of the drip, drip of the long-haul, no-end-in-sight solitude, they know nothing. What it's like to construct an entire weekend around a visit to the launderette. Or to be so chronically untouched that the accidental brush of a bus conductor's hand sends a jolt of longing straight to your groin. Of this, Sheba and her like have no clue.
