I watched the Japanese drama For N before, which said that love to the extreme is a joint crime, perhaps it is more pure in this movie.
Martha is historically an overweight female nurse, orphaned, raped by her brother, and has no friends. It was such a woman who met Ray, a popular lover who cheated women's favor, and told her how not to love him.
And Ray found out that Martha was only living on a pension and didn't have any money, and he planned to leave her immediately like other women. But she had already entrusted herself to him, and even after revealing that he was a liar, she was still willing to lie, and even follow him.
But her love for him is not free, she wants him to "must love back". So she would never allow Ray to have feelings for any other woman (even if it was their way of making a living), even murderous intent.
In the midst of thousands of flowers, Ray, who is not touching his body, may indeed be moved by Martha's strong and warm love, or maybe he really needs a woman who can understand him, accept him, and tolerate him to accompany him. In short, they became morbid mandarin ducks.
In the constant deception of women, Ray acting, Martha jealous, Martha forced Ray to prove that he loves her, repeating the murders, so as to commit twelve murders. It even includes the little girl that Ray sees as his own.
It's a tragic love story overall, and what Martha and Ray do is testament to their deformed, eager and passionate love. Martha finally accepted the imprisonment (death penalty), and made a lot of nonsense.
"Did someone kill someone to die for you? Have you ever been loved so much?"
Maybe all Martha did was to say it calmly.
