This dream is too beautiful to make people cry

This movie is my second favorite since "Love me, if u dare".

The last quarter of the movie begins to expose the cruel reality.

Speaking of from here,
Diane is cowardly and small. Going to Hollywood to pursue the dream of an actress alone, of course, without a background, she will only stop moving forward. She met Camilla with a strong personality and fell in love with each other, but Camilla's popularity made her feel humble.
Diane can't give Camilla anything. She can only live in a simple bungalow. Occasionally, Camilla will come to visit her several times in a concealed manner. The failure of Diane's career shows that she attaches great importance to feelings, but her career has multiplied and is strong. Camilla will naturally fade away.

Diane is nothing but Camilla, but Camilla is more complete without Diane. She meets the director Adam, who made her even better.

The relationship between the two will inevitably end in bleak development in the end. Camilla is finally tired of the relationship with Diane, and she must feel that it is meaningless to continue like this with her. So she realized the love with Adam in front of her. Camilla, you won! That was not enough, and took Diane to Adam's house, announcing that the two were going to get married in a particularly exaggerated way. And Camilla's kiss with another woman on the seat blasted Diane's anger to the extreme. Her various positions in Camilla's heart have been replaced!
Just imagine, if Camilla didn't care about Diane at all, he could alienate her and leave her. But she always took her to the set and didn't want her to leave after the clearing. Camilla couldn't bear to abandon Diane too directly, but he didn't want to be with her. Camilla was too strong and Diane was too humble. Camilla hated her and wanted her to quit.
Do you really want to say that Camilla is too good, but this is natural in this context.


Diane loves Camilla too much, after all, she has nothing else than that, so she hates her more strongly because of love. Then she hired a killer. The value of a bundle of banknotes ended Camilla's life.

So Diane had nothing. She lost her lover, and everything. She hated herself for doing this. She hated Camilla for being so different from her. She hated herself for being so weak. She hated herself for not having a background and powerful family. She hated Adam for falling in love with Camilla.

How much Diane wished she had an aunt with a status background, how much she wished Adam chose a third person to be the heroine, how much she wished she was a good seedling who was born to act, how much she wished Camilla could be weaker and let herself guard.

Diane was in chaos.
She deceived herself that it was not that she hired a murderer, but that someone from the film company tried to kill Camilla. She hoped that the killer she hired was so stupid.
She deceived herself that Camilla was not dead, and Camilla survived.
She hoped that her heart could also be strong, so Camilla lost her memory and panicked, Diane comforted her to guard her.
She wished she had a family with a background, so her aunt was still there and left her to live.
She hopes to always be praised like Camilla, so Diane imagines herself becoming "Camilla".
She hopes that Adam chooses another Camilla, so the mysterious Cowboy forces Adam to choose a third person who is irrelevant.
She hated Adam abducting Camilla, so Adam's wife was abducted by a third person and Adam was also beaten. Adam suspects that he has a special assistant.

Her excellence, accidentally made Adam fall in love at first sight, she fled, and she was full of Camilla.
So Diane was no longer herself, she called herself Betty, and occasionally used the name of the waitress to trick herself into forgetting her name.
And the Camilla that Diane wanted was not Camilla anymore, she became a timid and fearless Rita who lost her memory.

But Diane had already seen the box of evidence that Camilla was dead, and had deeply carved a fear in her heart, which was enough to annihilate all her little hope.
She pretended not to know the box, but she still had the fear in her head. As a result, a poor customer encountered that fear.

Camilla has appreciated. In Diane's eyes, how could Camilla be worth only the stack of banknotes.
And these banknotes, and the key to open the fear box, were all in the bag of an unknown Rita.

Betty (Diane) went to help the injured Rita (Camilla) to find memories and clues, and found Diane's real residence based on the vague memory of the waiter Diane's name (the name was exchanged with Betty).
Although Diane tried to forget the fear of the box, she knew that Camilla was dead, so there was the impression that Camilla was the corpse floating on the bed in her home, and Camilla who died in the sleeping position of the holder Diane.


Rita lost her memory and thought she would get better when she woke up, but it remained the same.
Diane dreamed of the fact that Camilla was not dead in the chaos, but nothing changed when he woke up. The owner of No. 12, who changed room 17 with her, said that the agents had come to her several times and confirmed that Camilla was dead again.

Dreams can't change Diane's reality. Diane doesn't want to get out of the dream, but the box of fear is opened, and the fear makes her return to reality. In the end, she committed suicide by drinking a bomb.


Diane's dream is so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people cry.
There are not so many ifs, she eventually left Camilla, in her way, not Camilla's way. She lost everything, she regretted everything, and she was unable to accept all the oppression she brought.
Diane, why did you choose Camilla, you are not from the same world. You are destined to separate. Diane didn't have the courage to endure this and created this tragedy.
