Eight beautiful pictures: ten movie capacity

To translate this film with "Eight Beauties" or "Thousands of Beauty" shows that there is no understanding at all. I think it would be more appropriate to literally translate it into "Eight Women". I have always been disgusted with the translation of Hong Kong and Taiwan names, and even good art films rejected them as vulgar films.

I didn't pay much attention to French director Ou Rong at first. Later, I watched "Dry Firewood" (the translation name must be from Hong Kong and Taiwan again, otherwise it would not be so vulgar), which was based on the script left by German director Fassbender. The things caught my attention, and later I learned that the "Under the Sand" that I liked very much was also his work, the somewhat special "Murder in the Swimming Pool" was his work, and the "Lost Souls" that I didn't like was also his work. .

Watching "Eight Women" this time, I couldn't help but admire Ou Rong. He wanted to suggest the other side of the seemingly harmonious image of a French family, incest, adultery, vendetta. But he must also describe this side, so that the two can be contrasted and a clear picture can be formed. It's wonderful that Ou Rong uses the structure of a fake detective case to frame his story, so that both sides are taken care of. Almost every relationship, such as couples, mothers and daughters, brothers and sisters, sisters, masters and servants, has a lot of affectionate plots, but almost after a while, vicious words add up, and they fight.

In fact, every state of interpersonal relationship can be made into a movie, but Ou Rong reversed it to another state in a few minutes, so that one of his movies contains almost ten movies. The content of the film is so complex that it is almost difficult to retell.

Unlike other critical realists, Ou Rong takes this dark side not so much as a condemnation of righteous indignation, but as a rightful attitude. Therefore, when he exposes everyone's selfishness and selfishness, he also brings understanding and tolerance, which makes the style of this murder film somewhat warm.
