The university towns of Britain and the United States are not prosperous, but knowledgeable and educated people are different in this boring environment. They have complicated psychology, like observation and fantasy, and they have to come up with something right and wrong to break this boring environment. The movie "Shirley" tells the story of right and wrong in the university town, and tells the weird mentality of the female writer Shirley and the people around her. The main characters are Shirley and her husband as a professor at the university, and a couple of teaching assistants who are boarding at their home. The neurotic woman writer, the calculating and jealous husband, the assistant teacher who is good at mixing the system, and the girl Rose who escaped from marriage with her husband and is helpless. A play by these four people makes the audience feel a little tired. If the relationship between people is so laborious, what kind of happiness is there in this world? What is the meaning of life! Shirley has never had a normal temperament in the movie. She is overly sensitive and entangled in emotional and interpersonal aspects. Married to a Jew, it turned out that he had calculated it before marriage; Rose, the hostess, cleaned the kitchen, and said that this was a manifestation of psychological inferiority; ... What happened around was very negative, everything was following I feel sorry for myself. I was very mean when I went up for a while, and didn't think about the feelings and face of others in the slightest. The movie didn't make it clear how Shirley's character was formed. In essence, she is self-righteous and always thinks she is the center of this world. Excessive suspicion, excessive delusion, and then I am at a loss and extremely distressed. Even if others are wrong, it is to punish yourself with others' mistakes and turn others' stupidity into your own madness. Paula, the missing girl who did not really appear in the movie, has never been scattered. Rose started by helping Shirley to understand the situation of the missing girl, and then got deeper and deeper. The influence of dark emotions is sometimes quite terrible. Rose in this environment can't extricate herself. The interaction between her and Shirley has a sincere side, and there are reasons for mutual need, but they eventually developed to help each other and change the situation. It's even more out of control. With the development of the plot, Rose and Paula, their consciousness and form are all mixed together, Rose repeats Paula's story, and people who lose themselves can easily become crazy. Delusions, hallucinations, and depression will develop as soon as possible. The sooner you leave this environment, the better.
