Imperfections brought about by political correctness

First of all I want to add a few shots to the film if possible, very small details. Everyone can replenish the brain a little bit.

1. In the memories of the birthday party, Marta appears in the flashbacks of everyone's memories.

2. Outside the door after the old man helped Marta plan everything, Marta hesitated to open the door, but of course he didn't open it.

3. In the last scene, Marta, who is holding the cup, shows the winner with a slightly compassionate smile.

There is only one murderer in the original film, and that is Marta, the instigator. A country that overemphasizes political correctness has an inexplicable obsession, and the Virgin will definitely live to the end. Even in the suspense film, it seems that there can be no excessive overstepping. Such a solidified thinking has fatal flaws for artistic creation.

The ugly words that the family tries their best to portray to highlight the brilliance of the Virgin is really aesthetic fatigue. No matter how bad the family is, the eldest daughter still has a small tacit understanding with his father, and the son can still operate the company in a healthy manner. And how can these become the ugly family members in the eyes of the old man? An eighty-five-year-old man, in order to achieve a certain kind of education for his family, used an extreme way to achieve it. I'm sorry, I can't justify it. Then there is only one possibility, that is, during the birthday party, Marta guessed that the heir of the testament was herself, and discovered the fact that the medicine had been swapped during the injection, so she would count. Let the old man be willing to sacrifice, let the "American team" become a perfect scapegoat, and the setting that he can't lie becomes his most powerful weapon for exoneration. And then sitting and enjoying the wealth that two generations of a family have worked hard for is the real end of my heart.
