It's just pure afterthought (I don't know why there are so many words)

What kind of bloody love triangle is this? The heroine was sold twice, I really feel distressed... She should not be very happy after marriage, look at the clothes she wore when she came home at the end of the film... Then she seems to have gone to work in the factory? (Actually I don't think the plot is very outstanding, it may be that my English is not very good at raw meat, I should blame it on my poor English.I couldn't fully understand what the characters said,because of the speed and the blurry pronunciation .) But why does it deserve five stars? Because everyone's faces are so good! Yimei's lips are red and teeth are white, and Kexin's women's clothes are really good-looking (especially the blue one), and dtt is also tender and can be squeezed out of water (why dtt and Kexin are not in the same frame) The heroine's curly hair is also very good-looking Also ,it seems like a story about the high society in England and the money. They had parties all day,kept dancing and dancing,even in hospital. However,the very scenes of these people are splendid(I don't know if this word is somewhat suitable.). Every second is like an oil painting. It is hard to describe this feeling.

Bright Young Things quotes

  • Simon Balcairn: [Telling his fake news story] The most shocking orgy since the days of Sodom and Gomorrah rocked society last night.

    Typist: Hold the presses, get down to compositing. Now.

    Simon Balcairn: The vulgar evangelist, Mrs. Melrose Ape, proudly revealed that her angels were no more than underage adornments on sale to the highest bidder. Meanwhile, tears coursing down her face, the honorable Agatha... , whose repulsive liason with the Prime Minister shocked the nation this week, bewailed her, quote: "Ruined, bogus, vapid, bogus, and worthless life," unquote.

    [pause]

    Simon Balcairn: Yes, two boguses. Lady Maitland, shrieking of her terrible dependence upon cocaine powder, threw off her Schiaparelli ball gown and stood naked upon the dance floor, an example quickly followed by old and young alike until only the servants remained clothed. And grotesquely hairy Archie Schwert, swinging naked from the chandelier, screamed that all his money derived from prostitution and the opium trade. Lady Maitland's son Miles howled and howled and confessed to an intimate beastliness involving five guardsmen of the royal household, two marines, and a brick layer from Hattersfield. Nina Blount... Nina Blount grasped her stomach, screamed she was a whore, and misquoted several lines of Lady MacBeth whilst Adam Fenwick-Symes cried on heaven to bear witness to his talentless penury and hopeless illiteracy.

  • Simon Balcairn: [Telling his fake news story] Never, never, never have such scenes been witnessed in high society, that uneasy alliance between Bright Young Things and old survivors. Perhaps this was the defining moment of our epoch of speed and syncopation. This so-called 20th century of angst, neurosis and panic. Reader be glad that you have nothing to do with this world. Its glamour is a delusion, its speed a snare, its music a scream of fear. Faster and faster they swirl, sickening themselves with every turn. The faster the ride, the greater the nausea, the terror, and the shame.

    [pause]

    Simon Balcairn: Stop. Yes, that's it. Good night.
