I have to say that this is a film that is very unsuitable for me. I have never liked crappy French and I can't understand that a friend once said to me that her favorite language is French. The uvula of my thinking language is for me the same as the uvula of some people's Mandarin. Maybe I will not be able to learn it in my entire life. Every time I listened to French, I wanted to listen to English to wash my ears, but I still bite the bullet and persisted for two hours to finish watching this high score of French literature and art.
But it is really sorry for the sacrifice of my ears for more than two hours. The film mainly talks about the growth process of a girl born in a weird atmosphere and how she kindly helped everyone around her. As far as the original intention of the screenwriter and director is good, how many people have developed on an extreme trajectory due to the influence of childhood growth environment, but Emily is different, even if she was isolated from the world by her parents, sensitive and depressed, But she still grows upward like a wild rose, and after leaving home as an adult, she loves everyone in the world that she wants to love in her way.
It sounds very positive, but I still can’t get rid of my disgust and rejection of this persona. Let’s not talk about her neurotic eyes and the smile that I feel strange when I look at it. The whole story spreads out Emily’s “kindness” in parallel, and deliberately uses Georgette and the surveillance freak’s failed love to reduce a lot of coincidences, but I think it still does not achieve the naturalness expected by the director. On the contrary, it seems a little self-defeating, making the film a bit "unlike".
The key point is Emily’s character. Undoubtedly, she is kind and has distinct loves and dislikes. She will retaliate in incredible ways for people she hates. I don’t know how the audience sees her as a thief. Stealing the keys from the merchant’s house of an abusive assistant and sneaking into the living room of someone else’s house. The bedroom performed mischievous tricks, but I really don’t think this kind of behavior is a bit cute at all. Using my own standards to measure the moral habits of others reminds me that "Desperate Housewives" often flips other people's things arbitrarily, sneaks into the private space of others to satisfy my own curiosity, and can stand on the moral high ground to criticize after being discovered. Susan on the other side couldn't be more perverted and unappetizing.
But the degree of dislike for Emily is not as good as Susan's. At least it was explained at the beginning of the film that she was not a normal girl, but the producer of "Housewives" was very incomprehensible. It is inexcusable to portray such a middle-aged woman who is full of faults into a positive role.
In short, the whole film gives me the feeling that the macro control is not enough, the human setting is ambiguous, and the artistic conception ignores one and the other, which really can't move me.
