The Butterfly Dream is a love story dressed in suspense. The opening paragraph is like a fairy tale book, telling us how a woman feels. Just like the trajectory of a butterfly, a manor gradually emerges from the fog. The flashback begins. When a cowardly heroine meets a rich man, both of them are not at peace. The male protagonist's wife died by his own hands, and he faked the death scene to get away from the crime, but he was suffering all the time. The kind and ordinary heroine is often compared with her ex-wife after marrying the hero. She suffers so much that she feels more inferior. She wants to please everyone and integrates into the family with her own efforts, but she is always clumsy and caught by the maids. Living with pigtails sometimes annoys her husband, and her presence always makes the audience worried. The first half of the whole film is like Cinderella, and the appearance of the maid in the second half has a sense of horror. Paranoia loves the maid who worships her mistress, her paranoia can be said to be pathological (this kind of inner pathological character is often seen in Hitchcock's films later), she is obsessed with the life of the mistress, and her Charming personality, so that she is always indifferent to the heroine, even a little contemptuous. The horror and suspense that follows also include the truth of the male protagonist's murder of the original partner. Wrapping the warm core of the murder case is the most moving point. The hostess hides cancer, the hostess is willing to live with the man who is suspected of being judged for love, and finally the two kiss in front of the burning manor. Although wealth is reduced to ashes, love is built up, only full of hatred, love The unhappy maid lives forever in her dream and burns to ashes with this manor of desire.
