The bold attempt of that era

Probably the best same-sex movie I've ever seen. William Wheeler, who directed "Roman Holiday", also has such a theme! Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLean's acting skills are so perfect that I can't bear to fast-forward the dialogues of several characters. I saw the part where Martha confessed to Karen, and when I saw Shirley's Scattered tears and Audrey's pained faces were really heart-wrenching. In the whole play, Shirley's performance and appearance are relatively masculine and very capable, while Hepburn is a delicate and normal female. At the end of Martha's funeral, Karen's striding away seems to mean that she understands and accepts Martha. , no longer care about secular arguments. It can only be said that the two beautiful lives are in the wrong era, just like Alan Turing, which is a pity. The English title is also very good, literally translated as children's time, but the initial revenge lies of ignorant and ignorant children caused the final tragedy, and the Chinese translation also reached the standard of honesty and elegance, "Double Shu Resentment", two beauties resentment, resentment was born in the wrong age, resentment was born as a daughter, resentment was secular people, resentment of girls who lied. In the end, that little girl is really annoying.

    Very avant-garde same-sex film noir. When they believe in themselves, people don't believe in them; when people believe in them, they don't believe in themselves anymore. The scary thing about children is that they can kill you for a single piece of candy, and the funny thing is that adults think they only tell the truth. The life of a social animal is so hard to build, but so easy to destroy, so it is safest, most reliable, and most loyal to oneself to be alone. The fermentation and shattering of a rumor, the subversion and termination of the fate of several parties, depicts the world situation in the whirlpool of public opinion that is full of the colors of the times but the essence is the same as today. Ironically, the nonsense lie helped Martha recognize the truth she dared not speak. When Karen cried and hugged Martha, the ambivalent expression on Martha's face was the most amazing, followed by the scene where Karen walked out of the cemetery with her head held high. Not a single snowflake is innocent in the avalanche. These people think that after they are accomplices in murder, they can buy peace of mind with sympathy and tears, but I don't. I want them to be tortured by their sins for the rest of their lives, and when they are dying, I will lean into their ears and say, "Actually, you guessed it right."

    This is a Lara movie that doesn't take the usual path. In fact, strictly speaking, it shouldn't be counted. This unusual path also has a specific era background. In general, the viewing process is not pleasant, because the story and the background of the times are too gnashing of teeth, and it is this hatred that makes this movie. The first thing that made people grit their teeth was these bear children. Like "Hunting", this lie about the love history of the two female teachers began with a

  • Dr. Joe Cardin: We can't go on like this. Everything I say is made to mean something else!

    Karen: I guess every word has a new meaning. Child, love, friend, woman. There aren't many safe words anymore. Even 'marriage' doesn't have the same meaning anymore.

    Dr. Joe Cardin: It does to me, and it should to you, if

    Karen: If what?

  • Martha: Cooking always makes me feel better... Well, I suppose I'll have to feed the duchess, even vultures have to eat. I baked a cake. And you know what, I found a bottle of wine. We'll have a good dinner. Where's Joe?

    Karen: Gone.

    Martha: Patient? Will he be back in time for dinner?

    Karen: No.

    Martha: Then we'll wait dinner for him... What's the matter, Karen?

    Karen: He won't be back anymore.

    Martha: You mean he won't be back anymore, tonight.

    Karen: He won't be back at all.
