It took 15 years to watch this movie. I was touched, especially by the mother's deep love for her son. Like the maid Dorothy said: Even the person you love doesn't know, it is worth loving...

It is impossible to tell who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role, everyone is worth pondering, everyone has secrets, and everyone has their own chapters. The director and screenwriter are too powerful, the grass and snakes have gray lines, the corners of the eyes and brows, hesitating to speak, and the waves are surging. Watch it at least twice, otherwise it will greatly reduce the look and feel if you don't understand the relationship between the characters. Once I understood it, I felt that every shot wanted to be fine-tuned.

The nobles are so sad. On the surface, they are dressed in fine clothes and food, but their spirits and hearts are tortured or simply insensitive. Life has devoured a person right before your eyes, but you don't see anything. They never really want to let go of their body and live, but naively think that they must perform seriously in the center of the stage to meet their identity. The hostess of the manor did not know that her housekeeper and cook were sisters, and she did not care who killed her husband. The inferior people have repeatedly burst out the spark of humanity. The mother recognized her son in just two days and intuitively knew the purpose of his coming, and decided to kill to protect him. All this happened upstairs and downstairs without interfering with each other.

so easy. Unperturbed. Only a loud bang was left, echoing in the hearts of the audience.
