Colette's Notes

The gradual awakening of female consciousness: The original Colette was contradictory. She resolutely returned to her parents' home after her husband was stealing, but with the support of her mother, she suddenly retreated and finally forgave her husband's stealing. Then she met Missy, she affirmed her value again and again, and gradually awakened her female consciousness. Colette gradually understood what she wanted, but awakening was difficult, so she, Missy, husband and lover even coexisted long time.

The husband is also a complex character. Although he is stealthy, arrogant and arrogant again and again, he has repeatedly attacked the heroine and praised his status as an enlightener, but when the heroine staged a pantomime and the audience cheered, he stood up bravely. Shout out bravo. At the same time, Colette's awareness of independent women is also revealed at this moment. She scolds the sanctimonious audience, calling her a coward. It is at this moment that she has established what she wants and can guard it without fear.

The language is beautiful, the rhetoric is plentiful but not deliberate, the sentences are beautiful but not overly written, and the actors perform well.

If the Crotina period was still lucky for Willie, the wandering singer period meant her a breakthrough, an independence, a fullness, richness and abundance.

The light and shadow picture is beautiful.
