"Eight Beauties" - a dangerous children's game

Juvenal 2022-04-20 09:02:36

A French suspense film where all the scenes take place in a house. In this house, because of the "murder" of the male owner, the telephone line was cut off, the car engine failed, the yard was locked, and an invisible person cut off all lines of their alarm. Everyone in the house, in order to clear the suspicion, had to tear off the mask of hypocrisy, pretending to be pitiful but actually stingy and selfish mother-in-law, self-righteous but actually trying to seduce brother-in-law's sister-in-law. The host's mistress, and the male host's sister, the stripper who entertains feelings, loves her lover so much that she even threatens to kill her brother in order to satisfy her lover's financial needs. When the entanglement was unclear, the scuffle came to a hot kiss, and the object of the hot kiss, the noble mistress, when she heard that another maid who had served the family for many years was gay, immediately threatened to dismiss her.
When everything was impossible, the answer was revealed. Except for the above seven, the youngest girl in the family, the youngest daughter, helped her father design this trap. When the little guy was complacent and thought that no one would dare to despise him from now on, he opened the door like a child and called his father to appreciate the ugly truth. He didn't expect his father to hold a gun and aimed it at his temple.
It's a really childish game. Do we make the same mistakes when we think that there is only black and white in this world, when we insist on uncompromising and that it is always best to know the truth? Li An said in the diet men and women, in fact, living under one roof, can still live their own lives, and the loneliness in each other's hearts is the meaning of home. In this family, everyone is covered with masks, a loving couple, a lively and lovely daughter, a weak mother-in-law, a cold sister-in-law, a capable maid, however, when the children's game is staged, when the little daughter insists that the father see everything When a man's bloody true face is seen, and when he thinks that this is the way to relieve his father's pain, lies and secrets are exposed, all the warmth disappears like a mirage, the child laughs, but the adult can't accept such a result, and ends himself s life.
Little daughter, if I knew this ending earlier, would my father still see this ugly mutual interrogation? It is the truth that a family is not a family, and this kind of truth, is it better to hide it or reveal it?
If it were you, would you rather choose to die plainly and suffer in pain, or live with the truth and falsehood?
