This film has two lines, two (three) completely different attitudes toward the relationship of incest against the moral bottom line. The family of the elder brother’s psychological counselor tried their best to hide, fearing that their reputation would be damaged, and their lives would be worse than death; the obsolete female celebrities boasted about their past (mother-daughter incest) for the sake of fame, highlighting the difference, But he has been living in the shadow of his mother.

The main line I saw was a family of sisters and brothers. . They were afraid of their daughter coming back because the daughter saw her mother's diary and knew that her parents were actually brothers and sisters. Their family is almost all public figures. His father is a psychologist and predictor. He likes to make everything about himself public, including photos of his house and the like, to show that he is "innocent." In fact, all of his public behaviors are It is to hide the sin of incest and childbirth. He felt that their family was cursed, and the daughter's return meant that everything could be the truth. And the panic and nervousness shown by this mother is the real heart behind the father's illusion of composure. . For so many years, he has secretly monitored his daughter's every move, and the

other line of life in fear has weakened. The old actress just blindly chased the shadow and brilliance of her mother, fabricated fake childhood experiences, and let psychologists use hypnotism to make her believe in those illusions, so as to adapt to the role faster. . I think maybe something bad happened to her in her childhood (fire and the like). But that is not the point. The point is that she treats these pains as cheating to raise her own value. . A soulless person, when everyone was worried about her psychological condition and advised her not to make a movie with her mother, she insisted on making it. What she saw was a business opportunity. What she fears most is not a horrible lesbian childhood, what she fears is the ridicule of her mother. She saw her mother who was younger and more beautiful than herself was laughing at her. It's jealous. She lives in the shadow of her mother. She is jealous of her young and beautiful mother. This is why she hires her sister who has burned her face. Her mother was burned to death. When she saw her sister, she felt disfigured. Mother who had been past, so ugly. "Her face is burned" "She also comes from ***** (should be the place where her mother lived)" This is the first sentence when she wants to hire her as her personal assistant. This is why she would steal her sister's boyfriend. "Am I prettier than her? Is my skin better than her? Do you like me better?" She asked the driver. In fact, what she wants to surpass is her own mother. She wanted to make the mother's laughter disappear from her mind.

Among them, it is my sister who sees the most truth. She was the one who pierced the lie, saw the true face of the female star's life, and saw the truth about the love of her parents. She is the most confessed, but also the most afraid of all those who are not confessed. I saw my mother's diary since I was a child, and learned things that she shouldn't have known. Her parents must have truly loved each other before, and I think that diary must have recorded the love and fear between the mother and the father before they got married. The younger sister did not choose to accept all of her mother’s thoughts. She saw the mother’s fear at the beginning, so she was afraid of hallucinations and saw other children. At the same time, she also saw the elimination of fear from the mother’s diary. The way "Whenever I put on the ring and read the vow, they disappeared," my sister said. . This must be the reason why my mother chose to be with his father back then, because at that time they loved each other, and all the slander fears disappeared when they really got married and put on the ring. Sister actually has no tendency to love siblings, she just tried to make herself unafraid based on her childhood experience as written in her mother's diary, including when she and her younger brother put on a ring and swallowed sleeping pills in the end. . . It was their parents' subsequent marriage that became deformed, and it was their parents' love that had deteriorated through the baptism of time and reality. Influenced by the show business for many years, everything is in a state of publicity. Watching their daughter and son wear rings to repeat their promises back then, they are afraid, afraid of being known, afraid of falling down the high stairs of honor. Now, the way to end fear has become the key to opening fear now. . In the process of chasing money, fame and fortune, there was nothing left in the process of overcoming all the forces that prevented them from being together. The burned sister is like the incarnation of their original love, fragile and neurotic and not visible, but still believes in love and hope. And the son is the product of doting in their abnormal family, still childish but lifeless. . But he still believed in his sister, and when he went to find her sister, he went to the actor's house. He never told his father and sister to find him. When he mentioned his father to his sister, he used "that old guy" to describe it. In fact, the son’s existence in this play is like a judge. Although everyone says that his younger sister is neurotic, he actually believes in his sister who lives in this family. He knows that the real neurotic is their parents. . And he is the same innocent child as his sister, but has no reason to bear the emotional debt of his parents.
In the play, the two brothers and sisters kept repeating a sentence, (what kind of freedom, the content is forgotten), that should be the vow of her and her father in the mother's diary. The freedom of two children is different, and it feels like they have witnessed the two stages of their parents' love and marriage (conjecture). Sister’s freedom, she feels that only love can be given. She feels that the love of her parents is great. She said it to the driver who met for the first time and had a good impression. She does not hide this past like her parents, but on the contrary. I want the world to know, I want the world to recognize it. . As she has been pursuing in the play. . And her burn is an obstacle to her pursuit of love and marriage (just like the love of her father and mother, blood is an obstacle, preventing them from being together); while the freedom of her brother is death, and he longs for death. He was playing guns at a friend's house. Although he said that all the bullets were taken out, the first three shots were shot at him. He went to the hospital to see the dying patient, told her that vow, and blamed herself for not fulfilling her promise when she died. . When he asked the agent what disease the patient had, the agent said that she didn't know what disease she had. Anyway, it was blood. This may be the reason why my son attaches so much importance to her. He spends every day in the entertainment industry, taking drugs and his private life is corrupt. He must also be worried that he will get AIDS or some other blood diseases and be known to be reported. (It's like his parents in the second half of their marriage, worrying about the sins brought by the fear of hiding their blood. Only death is relief.) At the end of the play, their brothers and sisters chose to wear a ring and say their vows and then fall asleep forever. , Also satisfied the freedom of the siblings, the love and marriage of the elder sister, and the younger brother's sleep forever.

Finally the end. . If you compare this play to a game about ethical attitudes, everyone plays a different role in the play. So in summary, the father and mother of the siblings are the ones who choose to hide, for the sake of reputation. . Passed actresses are the ones who choose to be public, for the sake of popularity. . The connection between them is the sister, the only one who knows the truth, for freedom. . The son is a judge who is kept in the dark but can judge freely, for the freedom he was deprived of at birth.
