We were all taught since childhood: "I picked up a penny on the side of the road and gave it to the police uncle".
When you find unidentified property on the roadside, will you choose to leave it secretly, give it to the police uncle, or return it to the owner in person?
It is a good virtue to collect gold without ignorance, but returning it to the owner in person is risky, remember!
In the movie "The Widow's Secret" there is a complete example of the wrong return of the lost property.
Francis, a female college student who entered New York alone, lives in an apartment with her best friend, and takes the subway to and from the restaurant and apartment where she works every day. One night, Francis found a valuable green handbag on the subway. She went to the Lost and Found Office immediately and found that the staff had been off work. Open the handbag and find the certificate of the owner. This is Ms. Greta's lost property. The kind Francis decided to return it to the owner in person.
Francis came to Greta's house, and when the handbag appeared in front of Greta, the graceful middle-aged woman expressed her sincere gratitude. Because of their similar experiences, the two went from unfamiliar politeness to heart-to-heart talk at Greta's house.
Francis' dependent mother passed away not long ago. Because of family discord, she moved out of her hometown and came to New York. Because she often thinks of her mother, she is always unhappy in her heart. In a conversation with Greta, she learned that her husband had just left, her only daughter was studying in France, and Greta was often alone in New York.
It is said that lonely people are easily attracted to each other. Francis and Greta went shopping together and ate together, and their relationship quickly heated up. Greta often has to confirm that Francis really relies on her, and Francis also sincerely expresses that he is a piece of chewing gum, especially clingy.
But the pair did not develop in the direction we thought.
Once, when the two were cooking at Greta's house, Francis was rummaging for candles and found the same green handbags filling the entire cabinet, each with Greta's ID address in it, and a sticker on the outside of each bag. Names, one of which was posted - Francis.
Panicked, Francis flees Greta's house and tells his best friend what he's found. At this time, she remembered the various reminders from her best friend since she met Greta, and finally decided to draw a line with Greta, this terrible woman.
It would be foolish and naive to think that this is the end of the story. The real orgasm begins now...
Since deciding not to have any contact with Greta, Francis has refused to answer calls, text messages, and evaded; however, the loving old mother Greta will never let this girl in need escape her. Clutch. After the non-stop phone calls and text messages attacked ineffective, Greta stood motionless outside the restaurant and watched Francis at work, and quietly followed Francis who came home from get off work until she couldn’t bear Francis’ ruthlessness, and the stunned girl brought back her own. Family.
Francis disappeared, but Greta posted messages about going out on Francis' social account. When others thought that Francis was away on vacation, the poor girl was being treated as a daughter in Greta's house, practicing the piano, eating, and obeying the "mother" in any actions.
Every attempt to escape has failed; even the only chance of being rescued has been snuffed out by Greta.
Whether Francis can escape the clutches, go see the movie yourself.
In the past works on the subject of imprisonment, most of them were men who imprisoned women. This time, it is relatively novel to change the protagonist to a woman. However, the screenwriter seems to have underestimated the ability of the audience. Although there are some reversals designed to attract the audience, the storyline in the middle is too plain and straightforward, and there is absolutely nothing like a thriller. It seems that the director is also a little powerless, and finally found actors like Huppert (perverted woman professional actor) and Moretz (super-killed woman) who have both acting skills and topicality, but did not present a stunning work.
I have to say that the whole movie is Huppert's personal show. Her eyes and small movements fully interpret Greta, a woman with a strong inner paranoid and controlling desire.
When Francis cut off his little finger while Greta was unprepared, Greta calmly fought back and locked Francis again. , as if the severed finger was not something that happened to him.
The private detective followed the clues to find Greta's residence. Francis made a sound for help, which was covered up by Greta playing a record, pretending to be the cat making noise in the house. The detective listened to the footsteps of Greta looking for the cat and went away, and began to look for Francis in the house. Just as he was about to open the door of the imprisoned room, Greta, who was barefoot, stuck a needle into the detective's neck, and the detective fell to the ground instantly. At this time, Greta danced briskly with her bare feet accompanied by music.
Huppert, indeed, is the only light in the film, and the rest of the cast is overshadowed.
From "Piano Teacher", to "She", and then to this "The Widow's Secret", I would like to ask Ms. Huppert, how did you make us love and hate these characters so much that we can't stop?
