When I saw half of it, I was a little tired of the endless so-called erotica. And I found that I was suspected of Lily Control. Compared with men and women, I prefer to see women. The ambiguous relationship between Anais and June is called Xiangyan, which is much more emotional than any sex scene between Anais and any of her men. This only makes me feel like taking a bath in a raw meat shop, which is always tiresome. And Uma Thurman's June, I'll love it. This is probably one of her most endearing characters, isn't it? Just that is not enough to get me on the G. G, is for the end of the film.

Anais leaves Henry's apartment and walks dazedly down the road, when Hugh shows up just in time to invite her into the car, just like at the beginning of the film. The moment she saw him, the expression on her face was clearly one of relief, joy, and even gratitude, as if someone had finally woken up from a nightmare. She got into her husband's car, Hugh took her hand, and they held hands as they drove past Henry. In the foreground is Hugh's self-sufficient happy face and Anais's expressionless face, and behind that is Henry's self-deprecating smile with his head tilted on his bicycle.

Anais' voiceover:
I cried this morning, I cried because I loved the street that got me off Henry. Maybe one day it will bring me back to Henry's side too. I cry too because the process of being a woman is so painful. I'm more crying not to cry from now on Not

even for this passage, the process of being a woman is so painful, especially for people who never had a clear iconic moment to say goodbye to their childhood, they came straight from the uninspired An idiot grows into a woman. The span is too big, too sudden, and too late. The pain of completing the transformation will only be more complicated and intricate. All that can be said. Write it down for the fact that she finally chooses to announce the end of the process with the ending (the ending, not the way), for her relief, she silently hands her husband's hand, for the one she gave to that street. name.

Is all growth necessarily marked by return, at the cost of saying goodbye to the lyrical era, waking up from a dream, and re-locking the magic box and burying it forever? It is not necessarily a nightmare that you have to wake up from. Those dreams that you know are impossible to achieve, the more charming and contraband, the more you need to bury them.
