Pandora in mythology is a beautiful and bad woman who brings disease, pain and suffering to the world. It is strange that the world does not dare to resent Zeus who created her and gave her the box. Even doubts are deeply suppressed. . Just like the heroine of the film, Lulu, all men are attracted by her beauty and enchantingness. They don't hesitate to destroy their future and want to kiss Fangze. When they really have to face the consequences of their choices, they turn their heads and attack Lulu. It's a sin Pandora, using the current lyrics is "blame you for being too beautiful".

The film is said to mark the official end of German expressionist cinema, and films labelled with words like twisted, absurd, emotional, pessimistic never leave room for emotional release. Lulu will always be dressed up every time she appears, even when she is poor and can't make up the window, she has to put on red makeup on her mouth. She smiles at every hypocrite and cherishes those she falls in love with, without taking into account that her charm will make people around her think. The men fell under the pomegranate skirt one after another and took the initiative to save her from the sentence of murder and imprisonment, but then quickly turned around and demanded monetary compensation. In such a world where true feelings are twisted and hypocritical, Lulu is a maverick flower, with unreserved dedication and trust, and eventually dies from the bottomless desires of men.

Although the soundtrack in silent films is an indispensable partner, it is a bit bizarre that Lulu's music when she was killed by Jack the Ripper remained cheerful and active. Perhaps she hopes to use the happiness of Christmas to contrast the indifference and sadness of the world, but with She lost her man's relief again, but it clearly reminded the audience that the beautiful sins have passed away with the Iraqi people, so don't be tempted.

The existence of Lulu is a mockery of the hypocritical gentlemen. They are afraid of mediocrity and yearn for gregariousness, eager for stimulation and afraid of responsibility. Lulu, who is five-point pure and five-point sexy, exposes all the weak, pitiful and embarrassing sides of their hearts. , this is a successful bad woman, because she is like a mirror, reflecting the side of the world that can see the self.
