Murder and suspense are just a way of telling a story, and that aside, the heart of the story is life. Is life full of lies? Where do these lies come from and where do they go? Those shots of the waves hitting the rocks, those flashbacks are the truth; the women's light-hearted chat, the eyes when they drive alone, they have been pondering: can these truths be revealed? How can I shape the appearance for myself?
One of Madeline and Celeste is a noisy control freak, and the other is a gentle and virtuous good wife and good mother. They were actually friends.
Personally, I prefer the soft-spoken, calm Celeste, who often sits on the sidelines and listens to the chatter of her best friend. And when she spoke, she always seemed very cautious and restrained. A pair of well-behaved and sensible twin sons, handsome and rich husbands, SEX life is simply sparkling, living in a spacious mansion facing the sea, it seems that they have no worries about food and clothing, they can't be more perfect.
Except, the young and strong husband will choke her neck...
At first I would even blame Celeste, I was like, why do you do this, why don't you say anything? Why not communicate? When the husband and wife had an appointment with a psychiatrist, I even felt that what Celeste said was the truth, yes, we all have problems, both of us can do it, we are very in love, we...
Celeste was so eager to affirm their relationship, to explain that they were just having a little problem, and they hoped to find an efficient and proper way to solve their problem. I especially hope that this is the case, I even imagine every time her husband is unhappy, go to coax him, go to coax, go and have a good chat with him, things won't continue to get worse, he won't do anything .
But the iceberg beneath the surface was pierced by a psychiatrist.
The more I look behind, the more I feel like an idiot. Really, I find I'm so naive. Like Celeste, I'm trying to absolve this diabolical domestic abuse man, he just loves her too much, he can't control himself, I'll do it to him, we all have the same problem, we love each other, these things It's just unpleasant experiences, and we can forget about them and get back together. Until we have no more excuses, until Celeste is thrown to the ground...
Frankly speaking, the ending of the TV series like this is simply a perfect ending. Apart from letting this person die, what else can make happy times come so quickly?
Imagine that there is no final fierce confrontation, no one is out of control, but let life go on slowly, they file a divorce lawsuit, try to prove the existence of domestic violence, and fight for custody: Can Celeste continue to provide a good life for the children? Is the child following the father prone to violence or worse, learning violence? All of this is a more cruel storm.
And all this tediousness, these cruel faces of life, all ended in the spontaneous alliances of women, careful and perfect lies. It is a novel and a fairy tale, but it may also be a fact, because women are naturally allies.
Madeline\Bonnie, Jane\Renata, tearing apart and tearing up to become best friends, yes, it's incredible. Everyone has their own inhuman wounds, and they try so hard to find a way out, trying to find personal value for themselves outside of children and housework. They make mistakes, break down, cry, yell, and wake up in nightmares. They also struggle, hug, and share secrets with each other.
There will always be cracks in life, and there will always be stormy waves oncoming.
And when I turned around and saw that there were so many fellow travelers and fellow travelers, then I thought, everything was fine.
