The structure of the film is not difficult to understand. It starts with a big burden - the killing of Marcel - and then begins to strip the cocoon, allowing eight women to reveal themselves and each other to reveal their deepest secrets. When there are no more secrets, there is still a lot of fog. When I didn't know who the murderer was, I suddenly dropped another burden. It turned out that there was no murderer (in fact, the audience was faintly aware of it), and then unexpectedly (but it was logical), Marcel, who was not dead, ended himself. 's life can be described as twists and turns, pulling people's nerves. However, the rhythm of the film is neither procrastinated nor too tense, but runs through in the form of each girl singing a song. Starting with the youngest woman, Caitlin, and ending with the oldest woman, my grandmother, each person sings a song, singing their most beautiful gestures and singing their bottom hearts.
In the film, it seems that they are forced to be helpless. Under the exposure and persecution of others, everyone has to tell their secrets, but after thinking about it, in fact, everyone wants to tell their secrets. Because every time they open their mouths, the eloquent details and exciting tension, as well as everyone's relief, relaxation and breakthrough after the secret is broken, secretly convey a message to the audience: these women, carrying their own The secret is already exhausted. At this moment, it is not so much to be forced, it is better to tell your own secrets and unload your own burden.
It's not so much a movie as it's a stage play, the dramatic tension as sharp as a blade, the sudden backlighting, the sudden singing and the sudden dancing, and the emotions of the hysterical characters. Show the essence of stage play. But it's a great stage play and a great movie. After reading the whole article, the audience may have their own opinions. To tell a secret is not to unload one's own burden, but to transfer it to others, when the burden of the eight women is all transferred to the tragic man, bang!
One woman, one song, maybe in the wrong order.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Caitlin (little daughter): Song of Youth
The beginning of the song, the rhythm is relaxed, the tone is cheerful, the younger daughter leads the dance, the eldest daughter dances with her mother, and it is harmonious, but the lyrics reveal the mystery in one sentence, the father is not with it. He is not as honest as everyone thinks, everything is just an illusion.
Augustine (Auntie): Song of
Repression As an old maid, it’s not difficult to understand being snarky and neurotic, diametrically opposed to her own sister, and dependent on her mother. But when her mother's secret is revealed, she can only rely on her sister. In fact, she sang it out in her song early in the morning: I love you, maybe I am bitter, but in fact I love you. She loves her mother, she loves her sister, and she loves her brother-in-law. Her desires are suppressed in her own body, she clearly likes romance novels but dare not admit it, she clearly loves her brother-in-law but has to secretly seduce her, but when her secrets are gone, she is finally reborn from the ashes, radiant Dazzling.
Pierette (Sister-in-law): Song of the Wild
She loves men and women. She is an artist and she is also a work of art. She is not bound by rules, just because she is a free soul. But she couldn't escape from her heart, the admiration and even admiration for her brother, the inability to let go of her new man and even willing to be deceived by him, the desire for the women around her and the desire for her sister-in-law. But she was free in the end, and after the fight it turned into a dramatic passion, she dedicated herself to the flesh, so she was not afraid. But she gave herself to carnal desire, so she was the most empty.
Eldest daughter:
She is calm, she is beautiful. She is young and wise. She had always played the role of a detective until the first layer of her own secret was peeled off. Pregnancy made her cast aside by her mother until she found out that she was not her father's biological daughter, and when she described her boy to her sister, the happiness in her eyes and the love in her words were real, but when she sang, her eyes were faintly sad . In the end, she couldn't help telling her sister her biggest secret. It turned out that the child in her womb was actually Marcel's. Although he is not her biological father, he is the adoptive father who raised her. From this point of view, in fact, Marcel be damned.
Chanel (Black Maid): Song of Liberation
She loved women, and she was unable to say it until her life force came into Pienette. Wise and calm, she was the first to discover that it was all a hoax. When she unloaded the burden, faced her own secrets calmly, and disregarded the strange eyes of others, she sang the lyrics of "sometimes girls like girls, sometimes boys fall in love with boys, some give birth to children, and some people are lonely" , suddenly made me feel the same way.
Louise (Young Maid): Song of Charm
She's young and she's sexy. She knows how to seduce men with her body. She is direct and will not succumb to her master's aura. But she is absolutely loyal to her mistress, she believes that sleeping with the male master is helping the mistress to fulfill her unfulfilled obligations and fulfilling her own duty. She is loyal because she loves her mistress.
Mistress: Song of Maturity
The first man she loved died in a car accident, her husband and her drifted away, she hooked up with her husband's partner and wanted to fly away. Her mother and sister sang and gave her a splitting headache. But she still has her charm. She didn't want her mistakes to happen to her daughter, so she was furious when she learned that her daughter was pregnant. She seemed conservative, but she was actually open, so when Pienet kissed her heavily, she didn't resist, but enjoyed it.
Mother-in-law: The Song of Time
There's no happy love. Maybe she didn't understand this truth until the old lady sang this song at the end. Because she couldn't bear to live with a person she didn't love all her life, she cruelly killed her perfect husband and ruined the lives of her two daughters. Her life has been accustomed to lies, even when unnecessary. She lied to her son-in-law that the shares in her estate had been lost, but she was unwilling to lend a helping hand to her bankrupt son-in-law. Although she had no problems with her legs and feet, she insisted on claiming that she could not walk, and sat in a wheelchair as a disabled old man to gain sympathy. When the second daughter finally found out that she was the real murderer of her father, she was so desperate that she just wanted to die. There is no perfect love in the world, and there is no painless love in the world. If she had understood this many years ago, maybe everything would have been different.
Marcel: Just a passerby.
He slept with the maid, seduced his aunt, slept with his adopted daughter, but never slept with his wife. Such a man had to die. He didn't show his face in the whole article, because it wasn't necessary. No one cares what he looks like or what he thinks, the eight women are the protagonists of the story, and he is just a cannon fodder for the dramatic tension at the beginning and end. Whether he dies or not doesn't really matter. Because the intrigue between the eight women, the mother-daughter relationship, the sister-in-law, the mother-daughter grievance, the sister-in-law grievance, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law, the master-servant relationship and the master-servant grievance, these are the key points. And the thick lily plot revealed throughout the article made me not know whether to complain, whether to complain, or whether to complain.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－A
woman is like a flower with thorns. Women are like flowers and tough. Women are like flowers, women are like flowers, fragrant. Some secrets may be uncomfortable to hide in the heart, but they are necessary. When secrets are revealed, someone is always hurt. The reason why a secret is a secret is that it is better not to say it, or it is better not to say it. . .
