The characters in the film are very successful: husband Ted is a children’s writer, but from his reading of a novel, he reveals his yearning for female nudes. He is arrogant and has a strong desire to control. He loves his daughter very much, but he loves his wife very much. Indifferent; his wife Mario is indifferent to both her husband and daughter, and she just wants to be deeply immersed in the pictures of memories and unable to extricate herself; Eddie is a teenager who looks similar to the dead eldest son and is in puberty, and her sexual ignorance turns from ignorance to intense When this strong interest meets Mario’s desire to refuse, a pathological triangle is formed. And these three independent and representative characters also bring strong dramatic conflicts in the film.

Big, but the scar will not. It will be deeply engraved in your fingerprints. "These strong sense of brokenness create irreparable pain for the film.

The book is much more exciting than the movie. The movie has limited time and limited expression. It is difficult for those who have not read the book to understand the ins and outs of the story that is not directly filmed. Both the heroine and the little boy were well chosen.

If the adaptation of the novel is to be faithful to the original, it will face the limitation of space. The vision can indeed handle more details, but the psychological strength of the text takes time to accumulate. The organization of the plot in this film is not ingenious. The different music when Ted paints nudes , the parallel editing of signatures and writing, including the composition of several frames in the scene, all promote the narrative rhythm, and the characters' personalities can emerge in each other's interactions, but they also completely abandon the content of the last 2/3 of the novel and give up The reappearance of fingerprints, squash, and feelings, giving up the reconnection of life after years. The film focuses on the metaphor of the floor door. PTSD represents memory, which is entangled with imagination. Through words and words, we reach the hole of longing and fear. PS Compared with graduates, desire is like a tragedy, the pattern is the same, only people are different.

Ted Cole: The sound of it, it was a rear entry position, not that I have a personal problem with that or any other position, but for a child, I imagine, doing it doggishly must seem especially animalistic.
