There is nothing in this world more complex than the feelings between women - we can both discover the subtlest and deepest pain in our hearts and have the ability to express them vividly, don't laugh, this is a great thing. Moreover, in women's dramas (excluding lesbian movies), after the sensuality and lust brought by hormones are excluded, the most authentic emotions between people can be more purely reflected.
In the first episode, Catherine Zeta-Jones (beautiful for a lifetime) said: "The old enemy does not feel hatred, and the old enemy comes from pain." This should be the best explanation for Joan and Betty's life. They both lack fatherly love and grow into greedy, vain, and unyielding superstars. They have been competing for roles and men all their lives. Their similarities are enough to connect their fates to each other; Joan has a beauty that Betty can't match, and Betty is good at acting. , their differences are destined to make them not give in to each other for the rest of their lives, entangled to death. They are mirror images of each other, reflecting each other's pain and pride; they are not only enemies, but also confidants who do not need to pretend to be themselves. We can even boldly guess that maybe only they themselves are the ones who know each other's truest side best.
People like to define happiness as good, but sometimes pain can be a form of happiness. When you feel the pain in your heart, it is also your most vivid and authentic moment, and being able to live truly and happily is a kind of luck in itself. Joan and Betty are not just living in the movie, they are also living in real emotions, which is also a good choice.
Some pain may not be resolved in our whole life, but we can share it with each other, even if we are old enemies.
“When did you appreciate the world?”
“After I realized how ridiculous and lovely it is.”
