"Secretary": Why are office stories always so tempting

I have always liked two words, one is "sweet flowers and snowy moon" and the other is "live color and fragrance".

The former represents love, which is a very oriental love, ethereal and dreamlike. Isn't this what love looks like? The love that is always talked about is actually an empty dream, you can't describe its texture, you can only feel it by instinct.

The latter represents desire. "Living color and fragrance" was originally used to describe gorgeous flowers. Flowers are actually the ability to desire. It is often said that a woman is like a flower, if the flower is not a desire, then the woman is like a flower and it is a little less meaningful. Just like dried flowers sold in a bottle, they are also flowers, but there is no swaying posture.

Recently, I revisited Stephen Seanberg's film "Secretary". In this film, there are not only "Most Beautiful", but also extremely sexy "Living Fragrance".

The movie is sweet, but not vulgar. Although the scale is relatively large, it is not only the display and expression of the body.

There is actually a difference between erotic movies and erotic movies. Erotic movies have sex because there is love, and porn movies are because there is sex first.

The former's love is natural, the latter's love is lured by "lust". So, erotic movies have a natural romance and philosophy.

Some people will say that it's a bit ridiculous to say that porn movies are romantic and philosophical.

There is no need to over-interpret the word "philosophy". The word "emotion" alone contains thousands of philosophies.

Back to the movie "Secretary".

The heroine of the story, Lee, is burdened by her native family and wanders in society with her ravaged soul. The long-term abnormal life led Lee to have serious self-harm behavior. After a period of treatment in the psychiatric center, Lee returned to society. To get back to normal, Lee started learning to type and got a job at a law firm.

In the beginning, Lee was always making mistakes, and her boss called her into the office in order to make her remember her mistakes, made Lee crawl on the desk and beat her with a belt. Pain brings a strange euphoria, which becomes a catalyst for feelings.

Over time, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes, Lee fell in love with her boss, but her boss could not accept this love calmly.

There are many large-scale shots in the film, which are extremely fragrant and exciting in fashionable terms. This also makes the film "Secretary" more topical.

We can imagine this picture:

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun hung obliquely in the sky, and the remaining sunset cast an ambiguous light on the office through the glass of the office building.

Instead of the aggressiveness of coming to work early in the morning, there is a cosy feel to the office at this time. Because it's almost time to get off work, people are unprepared and nervous.

The delicate makeup is a little lazy at this time, and the sunlight outlines the soft facial lines.

The ironed white shirt also has folds at this time, and the woman at this time is the most attractive. Not-so-tidy clothes have a temptation in themselves.

The setting sun can modify many imperfections of women. The soft sunlight can modify the curves of the waist and hips, adding softness to passion and beauty to quietness.

There were fewer and fewer people in the office, and finally only one man and one woman remained.

The sky has darkened.

At this time, the office is no longer a battlefield, and there is only a thin layer of defense between each other. He fantasized about the color of the skin under her white shirt, and she fantasized about his embarrassment when he was disheveled.

If the fantasy is just a fantasy, the silence at this time is just a colorful spring dream, no need to break it, just enjoy it quietly.

If the fantasy is not just a fantasy, the silence at this time becomes the prelude to the love of fish and water, and there is no need for a reason to break up at dawn.

Office stories are always particularly attractive. Because of the long-term relationship, these stories are more or less emotional. And the secretiveness of the office provides a glamorous atmosphere, with women's shirts and skirts, and men's suits and ties, which in themselves are symbols of temptation.

In the film "Secretary", Lee always wears professional attire, and it is the professional attire that gives Lee a different kind of charm. The button of the neckline is always opened to the right place, and the length of the skirt is always in a place that is attractive enough. Such a "secretary" is always difficult to refuse.

Lee's boss is also a very attractive man who always wears a neat suit and is professional and authoritative at all times. Such a man is like a book that always attracts women to read. Don't care what the content of the book is, just the process of flipping through it is enough for people to enjoy.

Although the movie "Secretary" is under the banner of "eroticism", it is essentially a love movie. Love saves Lee, who was hurt by his native family, and Lee's boss, who is tortured by his unique hobbies. In fact, they are the same kind of people themselves.

The turning point of the movie happened when Lee got married. On the day of the wedding, Lee returned to the office. It can be seen that the plain life is not as beautiful as the office.
