Aileen, a prostitute with a miserable life, accidentally met Selby who took the initiative to strike up a conversation and expressed that she wanted to know her. During the process of communication, a sour love was born. I think it's just like people who have been lonely for a long time can't accept loneliness after tasting the lively atmosphere, what Aileen did after Selby, maybe it was the guilt and self-blame that brought her to his side. The details of the part where Aileen and Selby go to the magical world are wonderful. Selby wants to make new friends and ignore Aileen. It was not until Selby was left alone that he went to Aileen to ride the Ferris wheel. satirized human nature. I prefer the scene where Aileen and Selby are leaning against the wall more than the first part of the courtroom. Aileen's helplessness, tangled self-blame revealed, and Selby is her only support. Of course, the ending is also very dramatic. sell. I was deeply touched by the simple driver and the last old man. Under Aileen's verbal attack, he found that the other party was only looking for a prostitute for the first time. It was like a soldier who met a scholar, and he might think that he was ridiculous in front of him. The last kind old man was very kind and innocent, and in the case of being wanted, it was also the last straw that broke Aileen and let her choose. Aileen has lived in a world without support all her life, and she will be overwhelmed and feel more guilty when facing kind people who show her favor. The relationship between Aileen and Selby is very similar to that of parents and children. In Selby's eyes, she may look down on Aileen because she is a prostitute. At the beginning, she also questioned why Aileen wanted to stop prostitution. Love, just out of curiosity, has been relying on her protective layer stably. Without love, she finally chose to betray under the oppression of the law and chose to lie to escape.

Aileen was desperate to satisfy Selby, but Selby dared not bear the so-called charges that had nothing to do with her, so he did not hesitate to testify against Aileen.
