1. It's basically all indoor plays, perfect use of stairs to achieve wonderful scheduling in several small rooms; the piano represents the occupation and excellence of the male host, it is the ambiguity between the male host and the female student, and it is also the relationship between the female and the male host. Desire, especially the sound of the girl playing the piano when the host and hostess is talking, shows the forcible invasion of the family by the girl, which is very creative.
2. The walls with prominent lines are extremely ferocious and brutal. The vertical stripes in the chorus room without a top remind me of the poster of the death of the holy deer. A scene where the male protagonist breaks the fourth wall and talks directly;
3. Although there are still limitations of the times, the theme of the story and the setting of the characters are amazing. It is hard to imagine that it is a 60-year-old movie. No wonder Old Martin took a picture of it and repaired it. If he thinks it is a good movie after watching Xiao Wu, he has great vision, then discovering this movie can only be said that it is not unusual and deserved, just like finding pearls in the sand.
4. The road to destruction of patriarchy. In the beginning of a long game of sisters and brothers, men and women are equal and friendly, and then the male protagonist appears, and the balance between men and women is tilted (the younger brother bullies the older sister). From unintentionally causing women to commit suicide to cheating and causing family collapse, going down is like a curse on patriarchy. The original intention was to give everything to the male master, but step by step, it devoured patriarchal power and destroyed the originally happy and prosperous home. destroyed the system. An interesting plot is that after the next woman mastered the handle of the family and became the hostess, the original wife became a "textile worker" who worked day and night and had a low status. The wonderful scene is that the man falls down beside his wife's sewing machine, behind him is his sleeping daughter, and on the stairs is a tragic daughter who is trying to surpass her status. It's a pity that in the last scene, the male protagonist broke the fourth wall but proudly said something very "male power", which not only did not elevate the theme but was detrimental. It can only be said that it is limited by the times.
