The cover of the movie is done quite terrifyingly and captivatingly. But I didn't expect the plot and the cover to not reach the same level. Maybe it's a standard cover tactic that draws you in and leaves you alone, letting you bump around in the plot and keep you from getting what you want.
Watching the entire film with holding my breath, my brain is empty, as if it was suddenly empty due to some kind of stimulation, I raised my head and nodded, sorting them out one by one. However, there were only two thoughts in my mind, concerning the two women.
The female protagonist's emotional coherence moved me. I like women like this, bold yet tender. She loves her husband, but not blindly. She is brave, rational, smart and more responsible. When Jane noticed the weirdness of the photo, she did not ignore it, but chose to face it and actively search for related possibilities, which required a certain amount of courage. Arranging the photos, finding out Hui's company, and later finding out that Hui's soul did not leave, but hid in the painting, all of these are enough to prove that she is a smart woman. Of course, it also paved the way for the truth to be discovered in the end. When she heard about her husband's past relationship, she sympathized with Hui, but she did not give up her husband, fought side by side with him, found Hui's body, and helped her soul rest in peace! She did not surrender to fear, nor was she brought down by the harassment of the soul! In the end, she left in anger, and I couldn't help but applaud her... Such a man doesn't need to be infatuated, and he doesn't need to be tolerant. Just kicking away is the king's way.
On the contrary, Yokota Hui's persistence is puzzling. Zhang Ailing also said that a person's biggest flaw is not selfishness, savagery, and willfulness, but paranoid loving someone who doesn't love himself. This is Yokota Hui's biggest shortcoming. She is obsessed with a man who doesn't love her, and she misses her madly, so she walks into her abyss step by step. In other words, her tragedy was of her own making. If she can be brave, like the heroine, and make up her mind to leave this man whose heart is not on her, won't many things happen? Yes, we admit, this man deserves to die, but for a woman he doesn't love, he has come to a dead end and can't see the way clearly, so he chooses cruel and immoral means, and also begins a nightmare that he can't get rid of. He is also pathetic and pathetic.
"Character decides destiny" is a wise saying. Facing the same man, two women have gone to different extremes. Is it paranoid or letting go? This is doomed to a different fate. Some people like to walk a tightrope, some people prefer a single tree, which way to go, everything has nothing to do with others, it's all up to you. Love is blind. When a woman falls in love with a man, it is as if she is isolated from the world and has no self. This is sadness and an unchanging feeling. So, we began to reflect, unchanging love, is it right or wrong? What deserves recognition is Hui's kindness. She gradually allowed Jane to see the truth and the true face of the person beside her, and it didn't hurt her. I was very moved. Only those vicious and ruthless men need revenge. The human world is naturally infatuated, and this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.
I admire Jane's courage and sympathize with Hui's persistence. Sometimes, letting go can be a way of self-liberation...
