In the film adapted from the novel of the same name, the change of this film does present the story in a more intuitive way. Although it is said that there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, the play within the play and the dual-line narrative structure The handling is not too sloppy, but sets off each other. The double-line narrative makes the form of the play within the play more prominent and sublimated, and the transformation between reality and dream, inside and outside the play conveys the director's intention to the audience. At the same time, the double-line narrative technique also depicts the psychology and image of the characters more fully, making the whole film more interesting and intriguing.

    It seems that Guan Jinpeng’s "Ruan Lingyu" form innovation appraisal is going to be lowered. The effect of the play is not only to superimpose and integrate the two stories, but to separate the audience from the audience, making it look at the "French Lieutenant's Woman" from a distance. This story has become a tool to promote the emotional process of male and female protagonists in "reality". Although the time of "reality" scenes is less than that of "movie", "movie" time reversely shows the process of emotional development of men and women in "reality" The extremely detailed and natural, this special technique is extremely wonderful. When these two stories are viewed side by side, the sense of change of the era is highlighted. The strict religious rules and secular gaze of the Victorian era contrast with the hidden lingering emotions in contemporary emotions. The nature of the former highlights the criticism of the era. The asexuality of the writer portrays the bitterness of unspoken love. The contrast between the happy ending of the "movie" and the tragic scene of "reality" at the end also distinguishes the difference between the screen and the reality, while the plot of the "movie" and the plain writing are scarce. His "real" life also proved this.

    It is not Borges-style narrative traps and language games. Like the novel, the film is not lost in the "Garden of Staggered Paths", but stands at the intersection of the paths and indicates the direction. Through layered narrative and destructive reshaping of the story, this double-stated love story conveys the meaning and tension of the original, and adds a modern flavor to the film between charm and delay.
