Scattered impressions about "Eight Beautiful Pictures"

I watched "Beautiful Pictures", a story about a fake murder leading to a real suicide,
8 women, 8 colors, 8 styles,
the most impressive part is the deceased's sister Catherine undressing, no, the one who took off her coat Festival (in the film, it was specially stated that the woman had engaged in a very imaginative work, which laid the groundwork for this later scene):
When she first appeared on the stage, Yiren was dressed in black, only embellished with a plain turban on her head
. The mansion where the crime happened, twisted his waist and took off his jacket while singing a cappella.
At this time, the Sajia suddenly found that the pure black coat had a red lining. When he
took off the coat, there was still a pure black coat inside,
but he could already see a red coat. The skirt, that kind of warm red,
was amazed that this woman was so boldly matched,
only to see the coat faded and her whole body was bright red.

That feeling, in a trance, remembered watching Wang Xifeng's appearance in "Dream of Red Mansions", and when I didn't see the description of Sister Feng's dress after hearing her voice, I also felt like this kind of feeling,
as if the optic nerve I never knew was activated

in an instant. At this time, the mystery that Pierrette exuded at the beginning was also instantly transformed into a very offensive and dangerous publicity.
The ingeniousness of this scene, Sajia believes that this is almost the best use of color in the whole film. In the section of the book,
without too many words and gestures, just the simplest two colors, it explains everything about her directly to the heart

    Augustine: Combs never sleep!
