Weig is a Cuban coffee business owner, a wealthy and extremely gentlemanly orthodox businessman, who at the end of the film, in order to follow Julia, gave up all his normal life and social status, and became a traveller. People who cheat for a living. Julia is just the opposite. In the beginning, she was a woman who made a living by deceiving men, and she never had the slightest sincerity for any man. By the end of the film, her fate had been deeply changed by love, and she had become a lover. A good wife who lives and dies with her husband. This love story is very mysterious, and it is easy to be artificial, but the plot of this film has been carried out calmly. One's own direction, rushing to the unknown front, which makes the whole film natural and smooth.
The voice-over at the beginning of the film is actually the subject of Julia's confession to the priest on the eve of her execution, which opens up the entire storyline.
Julia emphasized to the pastor: "This is not a love story, this is a story about love." She wanted to say that it was a story that used love as a means to play with conspiracy.
Julia said that it was just a marriage caused by a woman who wanted to marry a man and a man who wanted to marry a wife. It was a very mediocre marriage, but the first meeting between the two was like the end of love. When Julia and Weig first met, they explained that they had deceived each other in the letter. Julia said that she did not want others to marry her for her beautiful face. Others marry for their own property. We can fully expect this to be a marriage beyond utilitarianism, but no, the only purpose of this marriage is for Weig's money. The whole marriage turned out to be a conspiracy.
After a short period of happiness, the conspiracy finally succeeded, so we might think this is a conspiracy story, but Julia fell in love with Weig while playing with the conspiracy. Weig wanted to kill Julia, but he really just wanted to get her back , So the film went back to the old road of love films. When the two went into exile for love, Billy once again successfully turned the love story back into a conspiracy story. However, when Billy's conspiracy was about to succeed, love took over again. Dominance, and finally, love overcomes conspiracy. In this way, the film oscillates and oscillates between conspiracy and love, making the whole story both emotionally charming and compelling dramatic conflict. Moreover, since the relationship has always been in a state of unresolved, there is no need to waste ink and sensationalism, but instead It makes the relationship between the two natural and unpretentious. The cinematography of this film is very distinctive. The whole film is captured in a dream-like drifting way accompanied by the melody of the music, which can be said to be the waltz of the camera.
Director Michael Christo's sense of music is excellent, and the music and the pictures work together to create an ethereal atmosphere. The background music of the Latin music style runs through the film almost throughout the film. The extensive use of tambourines creates a well-defined musical space. The delicate and soft melody of Spanish guitars is used to create a romantic atmosphere, which highlights the ups and downs of the characters and the sudden changes of the plot.
Almost all the shots are mobile photography, moving slowly in the way of drifting, rotating, and jumping, while the characters in the shots are also moving, sometimes in low light, their faces are blurred and mysterious. The whole film is like a dream with sometimes bright and sometimes gloomy colors.

Later, Julie expressed that she was very dissatisfied with MGM's publicity. In fact, about 90% of the scenes in the film were "sven shots". MGM's move was really misleading the audience.
In fact, the sex scene in the film is full of classical beauty, regardless of the color tone or the use of rotating overhead shots, it is dazzling, Angelina Jolie's provocative eyebrows and sexy red lips are unforgettable.
