The first time I watched it in 1996, I was immediately shocked. The depiction of sexual scenes and the foreshadowing of music made people blush and their hearts raced. Twenty-three years later, I watched it again with the feeling of figuring out why it was the worst movie, removing the sexual element, and understanding the intentions of the director and screenwriter, and the living space of women in a patriarchal society. The heroine may be naive and brainless, but she is staunch and upright, and she is the same on the outside. Filming this film in 1995, the director's skills are not ordinary, and the scenes and music are perfectly coordinated. If everyone removes the worst award, removes sex, and calms down to feel, there will be a completely different feeling. Midnight girls living in the lower floors may not be in such a situation, but ordinary people only see peach color.
