Mysterious woman, misty love

Meryl Streep looked back at the moment when she was wrapped in a black trench coat on the wind and rainy coast. That kind of miserable, confused and a little persistent look was really impressive. She truly understood the soul of the character, the ardent desire for love in this woman's heart and the uneasy and turbulent nature. She seems to be a combination of Ruan Lingyu and Fan Yi, with humiliation and misfortune similar to Ruan Lingyu, and Fan Yi's love for love. Anxious and mysterious temperament that cannot be overcome by a strong desire. The further back she looked, the closer she felt to Fan Yi. After she admitted to Jeremy Irons that her story was mostly made up and she didn't know why, she couldn't help but feel a sense of love and destiny in her life. The love between them is undoubtedly sincere, sincere, strong and powerful, and it is a cruel satire on the hypocrisy and dryness of the relationship between people at that time. The price is that they are each forced to relocate. After the tempering of time, the two can finally enjoy the rich fruits of love like ordinary men and women in love.

Dr. Grogan: I am a young woman of superior intelligence and some education. I am not in full command of my emotions. What is worse, I have fallen in love with being a victim of fate. Enter a young god. Intelligent, good-looking. Kind. My one weapon is the pity I inspire in him.

Dr. Grogan: I have known many prostitutes. I hasten to add, in pursuance of my own profession, not theirs. And I wish I had a guinea for every one of them I have heard gloat over the fact that their victims were husbands and fathers.
