If measured by the popular thing called morality, some people should be defined as rubbish. For example, the step-brothers and sisters of Sabastine and Catherine in the film.
They were born noble, attended prestigious schools, beautiful and treacherous. They are promiscuous, they make bad things. For example, Sabstine used the sentence "your legs are beautiful" to make the seemingly confident female psychologist almost get the trick, and finally calmly refused to seduce and send Sabstine away. So complacent, I received a crying call from my daughter, saying that a handsome guy had slept with her and then took a nude photo of her and put it on the Internet. The doctor furiously asked you why you are so stupid? Her daughter said: That person is too handsome, and he praised my beautiful legs. Beautiful legs? The legs are beautiful! The female doctor suddenly realized that she fell off the phone and jumped to the window, and saw Sabastine standing on the street smiling innocently at her. The psychiatrist, who pretends to be a goddess all day long, thinks he has piercing X-ray eyes, is so angry that his mouth is crooked and he slams on the window and swears. Catherine asked Sebastian why he did it, and Sebastian said, don’t you know if you charge a lot of money!
If Sabstine is a nasty pin, then Catherine has to be a sharp double-sided razor. Compared to Sabastine's casual improvisation, Catherine was more sophisticated and sophisticated. For example, her way of revenge for abandoning her boyfriend is to educate his silly new girlfriend Sissel into a slutty nympho. First, she sat gracefully in front of Sissel's mother, a stupid and domineering lady, and said some noble and clever words: I know it sounds very old fashioned, but every time I get into trouble, I really pray to the Lord. Sissel's mother's eyes are wet: Oh Sissel, you should take Catherine as your role model. Then, what did this example teach our little Sissel: promiscuity? It's normal. Many people are doing this, but everyone doesn't say anything about it. Hidden knife in the smile? Sword in the mouth? Yes, Catherine carried a cross with her, but it was full of cocaine, and her expression was more religious than a nun when she was enjoying herself in the bathroom. That's right, Catherine is a character like Yue Buqun, who controls the overall situation and strategizes, regardless of the good people and bad people, who will stare at the end when the truth is revealed: It's you...
Of course, director Roger Kumble, like Mr. Jin Yong, knows that audiences don’t like to see Yue Buqun’s conspiracy succeed. The difference is that Westerners still lack the gloom that we Chinese have accumulated for thousands of years. Roger Kumble did not set up suspense. Instead, she exposed Catherine's hypocrisy in front of everyone at the beginning, so Catherine was hypocritical, and did not degenerate into a hypocrite who even deceived herself. Catherine manipulates others, mocking the unattainable pretentiousness and stupidity of the upper class that she hates time and time again. However, she herself is also an individual who lives on this environment. This contradiction makes her unconsciously become better than this environment. Even worse, this is similar to what we said to fight against traitorous officials is more treacherous than traitorous officials.
Originally planned by Catherine, with her mental hypnosis coupled with Sabstin’s physical seduction, Sissel would soon become a slut and give her the name of an "anorexic epileptic" to the former The boyfriend was hit hard. But Sabastine, who likes to overcome difficulties, is not the silly girl Sissel who is most interested at this time, but Annie, who is about to become his classmate, the daughter of the new principal—a person who declared in the "Seventeen-year-old Magazine" Keep your virginity until the wedding night" girl. Annie is sober and smart. She said to Sabastine, "Don't seduce me. I know all the bad things you have done." Sabastine asked: Who said this? Annie replied: I can't tell you this. At this time, Catherine stood up and said: Let me tell you, it is Sissel's mother who speaks ill of you. Look, spreading gossip is not a patent for blocking the countryside, and gossip in the upper class is even more deliberate. Sabastine is in a hurry, this is in a hurry to let me fuck your girl. So Sabastine gave Sissel a little bit of sexual enlightenment education, but when he thought of Annie, he couldn't get through to the end. Afterwards, Sissel, of course, had to talk to the role model Catherine about this, such as no sex, no blow job, but i hot and i shake... Catherine congratulated Sissel on the climax, and taught Sissel to take this The skill is used on Ronnu. Ronnu is Sissel's home music teacher, an innocent black man, who has written a love letter to Sissel.
Isn't it messy enough? But Catherine didn't think so. What she needs is to manipulate others in the extreme chaos, this feeling is probably the most experienced by Zeus and other gods on Mount Olympus. So she exposed Ronnu to Sissel's mother again. I have summed up just now, Sissel's mother is a stupid and domineering woman, now add one more thing, racism. But she didn't admit it herself. She shook the love letter Lonnu wrote to Sissel to let Lonnu get out. At the same time, she declared: I don't discriminate against black people. My husband and I donate money to Africa every year. Look, this is the so-called compassion of the upper class. No, it should be said that it is the so-called compassion of people who think that they are civilized. For example, in the TV news that a migrant worker failed to ask for a salary and committed suicide by climbing a tower crane, I would cry for their misfortune, but when they approached me on the bus, I would They would reprimand them to stay away from me and cover their noses and mouths to signal that I smelled an unpleasant smell on them. Here I spurn my behavior, and I hope everyone will come together to despise me, but next time I will still go its own way, there is no doubt about that.
After the complaint, Kaphren and Sabstine bet that if Sabstine can really succeed in the clever and pure Anne, then she will take care of Sabastine once again. Unsuccessful Saba Sting was about to give the expensive Jaguar sports car to Geveren and admit failure. Sabastine has no reason not to accept this challenge. It's just that he fell in love with Annie in the process of seducing Annie, which Catherine didn't expect. Faced with this dew-clear girl, Sabastine was frustrated by the conspiracy he was carrying, and also frightened that he could not harm others unheartedly like before. After several struggles, Sabastine finally said cruelly after a spring night with Annie that this was just a game, and that Annie would be included in his diary as the spoils of the javelin like other silly girls. Afterwards, Sabastien returned home in pain and saw Catherine lying on the bed in only her underwear, but unfortunately he was not waiting for him, because he opened the bed drawer and saw Ronnu in the briefs lying in embarrassment at him. Smile. Sabastine realized that Catherine's game was insidious beyond his imagination, and he wanted to withdraw in the name of true love. Catherine said contemptuously: We are all the same type, hypocritical and not telling the truth. We manipulate others, happily watching that our happiness is based on the suffering of others... You would have become a legend, but now you have turned yourself into a joke. You lose, and I don't sleep with the loser.
Sabastine took his diary and wandered downstairs at Annie's house. He didn't know that Catherine would make another trick and lied to Ronnu that he had slept with Sissel. The furious Rangnu intercepted Sabastin's beating. Annie saw this scene upstairs and ran out to stop him. Rangnu missed and pushed him down in the middle of the road. Sabastine stepped forward and pushed Annie away, but she was caught by the car. Bumped into the sky.
At this time, I couldn't control the disgusting and self-thinking Sabastine who became a lover, and worshipped Catherine, who had lied to the end. I hate to see the prodigal son turn around more than the prostitute Congliang, because I know that the Ming Dynasty will be included in the second official biography by the Qing emperor, and I have also learned that Lu Tixah said that the third fatal punch in the town of Guanxi was because he did not have a hard time begging for mercy. In the end, it can be seen that since the broken waist rod and kneeling back may not be able to see the shore, but instead ruined a legend and made a joke. In vain, Sabastian claims to be true love, but he doesn't know that there is nothing worthy of allegiance in the world, except for the flower of evil in his heart to take refuge.
As I said earlier, the director knows that people don't like seeing bad guys conspiracy to get away with it. At the end of the film, when the new semester arrives, Catherine unscrews the cross in the bathroom and smokes some cocaine. As the president of the student union, she will soon be on stage to read the eulogy of her brother Sabastine affectionately to the teachers and students of the school. At this time Annie suddenly appeared in the bathroom, quiet and peaceful as if she knew nothing about this series of cruel things: I regret your brother's affairs, if you want, I can be your friend and listen to you. I know it sounds very old-fashioned, but every time I get into trouble, I really pray to the Lord, which works very well. After Annie had left, Catherine mocked in the mirror: I hope so. I knew that the director was going to clean up Catherine. The audience suddenly left their seats. Regardless of Catherine’s false sorrow on stage, Catherine walked out of the auditorium angrily, only to see the teacher and students holding a copy of Sabastine’s diary. In the photocopy of, Sabstine detailed the process of this cruelly motivated and dangerous game in his diary. In his diary, he referred to Kaphren as slut. Catherine almost fainted in tears, the principal stepped forward to hold her, took the cross in her hand and unscrewed it, the white poisonous powder floating out from inside. Finally, Annie drove the Jaguar sports car in the sun, and the diary was lying quietly in the passenger seat, just like Sabstine himself who had rested in peace.
Well, good and evil will eventually pay off. Such a sunny ending is like Anne's blonde hair, but it is not worthy of the erosion of the plot like Catherine's black hair. The director would rather put a golden lion tail on the black cat than to cater to the US government's willingness to instill a positive attitude towards the manic adolescent children through the film. I don't like it, but I can forgive it.
