This woman in the original—well, I realized that there is something like the original after reading other reviews—should be a hundred times more disgusting in the movie than in the movie? Or was it that Nigel, who said "You did this" to her, was too rebellious at the time? The narrative trajectory of the film completely dilutes the back light of Joan: how she “seduces” (to be honest, if it is really to seduce and not out of other appeals, I can hardly believe that a British factory owner in the 1980s would choose a wife. My husband, as a cleaner, living in a government relief building, and wearing a kitschy appearance, I can only see a woman who can only cook) Nigel's father? In the first minute of the scene, the old man curled up and bloated and slept on his son's bed, crying for his dead wife; the next minute there was such a sloppy cleaner that made him drunk and unconcealed. Or is Nigel too young to hate wishful thinking? It is hard to say which one, as far as the presentation of the film is concerned, it is undoubtedly the latter.
As a stepson, the sentence "You did this" pushes the accidental death of his father to his stepmother... The plot here is also worthy of scrutiny. It means that Mr. Slater's eating too well led to excessive cholesterol levels and died suddenly? This sentence is too cruel. After all, from the perspective of time, Joan has lived with Nigel for at least two or three years. Based on this logic, aren’t two people competing for the kitchen for the murder weapon? And Nigel's only favorite toast... can he really be treated as a murder weapon? At the same time, the camera did not give Joan any time to show any blows (well, maybe this is a European, at least in Qiong Yao's play, she has to be pale, smash a few plates, hold her temples and scream "Not me") everything she did next It is to keep Nigel. Continue to think that this is not the work of a vicious stepmother, everything belongs to her, and the next step should be to play tricks and blast the steps of her stepson... What exactly does she want?
In the camera Joan is holding Apple pitifully(?) Sending out to call Nigel back. At that time, the only thought in my head was "what, this kid is really spoiled..." The long-awaited ending of the mother and son opening a toast shop together was disillusioned, so one star was deducted.
In general, it's hard to say whether this movie is worth 5 stars, but 4 stars is more than enough-the picture is exquisite, the characters are brilliant, the original has contributed a lot of clues, and it is not empty as a family/growth drama. But at the same time, in terms of drama theory, there should still be problems. The rationality of the conflict is weakened by the trivialities of reality, but this triviality is not well highlighted. This is not a story written by an old man with a completely bystander attitude towards the past, but is bound by facts and fails to push the conflict. To the higher tide...
Helena, who wrote that he was farther and farther away from love. What am I trying to say about this film? It doesn't look like a play, and I don't understand this youth. I’m probably getting old

PS: The second co-acting mother and son are Xiao Su and stepmother. Fighting for the kitchen, should I say that the plot is too literary or too housewife? It’s not easy to accept or offensive, it’s straight, Hideyoshi is almost irrelevant to the main line, so trivial is really a memory of childhood
