Beneath everyone's bright and gentle surface, there must be a cold and helpless side. The film begins with the man being killed, and then the eight women associated with it, in order to prove their innocence, embark on a truth or dare. The sister-in-law has a crush on her brother-in-law, the sister and the black maid are bisexual, and the other beautiful maid is the lover of the male master who has been dating for five years. Elopement, and this person has a dark marriage with his sister Zhu, the eldest daughter is not her own and is pregnant before marriage, and the younger daughter arranges her father's suspended death, which leads to her father's actual suicide. Everything stems from the fact that after the male owner goes bankrupt, he looks like a family, but each has a ghost in his heart. The film always unfolds in a house, with bright costumes, graceful dancing, touching lyrics, peculiar ideas, and a wonderful ending. Life is like a drama, if it is condensed into more than 100 minutes, there will be climaxes one after another, which is embarrassing, not to mention the lives of nine people. It was snowing all the time outside, setting off the human cold in the house. A rare suspense masterpiece, watch it patiently until the end.

    "I've been wanting to make movies with only actresses for a long time. After rewatching Cook's 'The Women', I started checking the rights to the original series, and soon discovered that the rights to the remake had been bought out by Hollywood (It was the remake in 2008), so I had to give up the idea of ​​shooting the French version of women. Later, with the help of my friends, I found a crime drama from the 1960s, Robert Thomas' book. The writer is a little forgotten today. , but in the 1970s, the mainstream French theaters were very popular, and one of the works was bought out by Hitchcock. Unfortunately, it was not made until his death. ... Different from dry wood and fire, Bameitu is a An anti-naturalistic work that highlights the beauty and charm of women with a sense of style and carving. The story is set in the 1950s, which contributes to the authenticity of the story of the eight beauty trapped in a cage, and also reflects the plot twist and the film. The effect is deliberately crafted. It’s just that in the 1950s, the French film industry was still dominated by black and white films, and the reference of fans was not as good as Minnelli’s musicals and Serke’s gorgeous dramas of the same period.”

    The same-sex plot was shocking, although Ou Rong was still startled. There are too many songs and dances, and I still can't appreciate the pure women's movies. It may be the wrong entry point, thinking it is a suspense movie.
