"Miss": "Amazing Crazy Flower" wrapped in the coat of the City of Thorns

I still remember the night when I first watched "Finger Craftsmanship", from the first part to the third part, I was always stubborn in my heart. At that time, he was still young, and the conspiracy in the quilt and the affectionate love story between the master and the servant was so stunned, he just turned and watched it five, six, seven or eight times.
Many years later, I heard that "Miss" was coming, hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally Shou Duyun saw the bright moon and watched it three times in one breath. Each time it gave me a new explanation of the story. I originally thought that the Korean version would be as serious and delicate as the British drama. It would start, heat up and burn the protagonist’s feelings slowly, and add conspiracy, life experience, routines and anti-routines to the audience. Screaming coolly. It turned out later that I was too naive, and Dao Park’s heart was not so big, but it was far more wild than this.
From the perspective of emotional drama, after watching it three times, there is disappointment. Only a few strokes of character imagery have been done. They are not full and rounded and they have not been able to lay a natural foreshadowing for the feelings of the master and servant in the future. It is erotic. It seems logical, but it is inexplicable. From the very beginning, Shu Ji has been greedy for Xiuzi’s little white rabbit. Let’s not talk about Xiuzi’s inner drama that she sinks for a word of comfort. , How can it be so easy to fall in love with each other? I would rather believe that the lady was moved by those six chocolate-colored abdominal muscles. So everything changed after the two got into bed. That is to say, after the second bloody scene, the director completely put aside the frame of the original work and began to behave like a ghost.
I made a comparison. In the English drama, the two went to Yunyu together until nearly 50 minutes, but they were moved forward to 40 minutes in "Miss", so these ten minutes were not used to fall in love, so where did the director move? Up? It is used to tear up, the kind between two men.
Unlike the original book, the young lady who enjoys the joy is already in the whirlpool of love (let's think so), she doesn't want to lie to the other party anymore, wants to showdown, but the master of the abdominal muscles insists that the green mountain does not relax and makes her painful, ready to be in that beauty There was a self-break on the grandiose cherry tree, and then one of my two favorite scenes in the whole film came: the lady commits suicide, hangs on the tree dying, the maid is stupid, hugged by the woman The scene of a friend crying, making troubles and hanging himself was so helpless. The two cooperated in such a weird posture to complete the exposing of Uncle He, and then retaliated with the enemy and retaliated together. So the climax came. The man who sacrificed the emotional drama in exchange for late-night communication. How to judge female sexual desire through eyes and train niece The meaning of the drama lies in: are we not among your applause? How about a burning bear's paw? Whether it is an old man who likes to collect obscene books to symbolize authority, or a strange uncle who thinks he is extraordinarily charismatic and clever, he can't escape the end of being destroyed and cast aside by a woman (oh, it's good to talk about it). The two masters and servants of the united front reworked a careful plan in the middle of the night, and promised each other for life, forming the biggest highlight of the film: a pair of beautiful and intelligent stunning flowers.
This is the director's ambition: I not only want a pair of lovers, but I also want a pair of comrades-in-arms. A pair of female comrades-in-arms who dare to resist, dare to fight, dare to break male authority. Xiuzi was imprisoned in a big house in the city of thorns and thorns since she was a child. The whole meaning of life is to obey the will of her uncle. A doll at the mercy of people has no courage and vitality. But Shu Ji is different. She was born in a market and has a thief background. She is unrestrained, true and cute and free and bold. Given her six pack abs, she can bend sisters all over the world (cough cough). When these two people are combined, something is destined to happen, so on the night of the escape, they broke into the holy forbidden library, destroyed all the dirty books that had imprisoned Xiuzi, and tore up the old man’s life-long possession. Clean, the moment Shu Ji smashed the snake's head with the iron ruler, this is the second of the two favorite scenes. The scenes of wanton tearing and sabotaging the book and the tragic background music on the battlefield seem to declare: the rule of men. It's over, from now on, it's Ji You's world.
Poor Uncle He was concealed all the way, thinking that everything was under his control. How could you know that the two women had already assured each other secretly? The most beautiful scene he has ever seen, who can climb a woman's bed at will, is Hideko's face masturbating in the voice of a lover's song, thinking that she finally touched the beauty of the iceberg, but he did not expect it to feed him condensed opium. The girls avenged the revenge, the people who should be rectified, dressed in disguise, brought huge sums of money and Myanmar bells, held hands and went to another country to start a good sexual life.
There is also a scene that impresses me deeply. On the night of the escape, Shu Ji slid his luggage to the other side of the stone ridge, jumped over and got up and left. The weaker Miss Xiuzi stood on the stone ridge at a loss and looked helpless. When did she ever do this kind of thing when she was spoiled, she stood there like a white rabbit and looked very weak and in need of protection, and needed a warrior to rescue. So Shu Ji walked two steps and fell back, neatly jumping back to Shikan's side, carefully using the box to build a ladder for Xiuzi, the very handsome and gentleman took her hand and let her gracefully step on the Shikan. Yes, ladies still need care, but who has to stipulate that men must come? After all, I can have a short chest and six pack abs at the same time.
Some people say that in this drama, there is no feeling of affection. In fact, there is a fascinating scheming behind it. The lack of emotional drama can be made up for with a deeper level of pleasure. It's like someone said: "I can sleep with Miss Xiuzi for one night, and I will be satisfied to live in a lunatic asylum for the rest of my life", isn't it?

    After reading it, what should I say? I didn't have to choose the soundtrack, but I still felt like I was watching a raw film. Sure enough, British novels still have to be filmed in the UK.

    After reading the extended version, I still like the Taiwan version's translated name "The Temptation of a Ladies". I really love this reversal of the plot. The soundtrack, camera movement, composition and poster are all well received. The most heart-wrenching scene was that Shu Ji thought that the young lady would be sent to the hospital and felt guilty and painful, but she was treated as a mentally ill person. Seeing the young lady's lines scared me; the most touching scene was in the second part of the young lady's narration. Inside, the two of them walked out of the yard with the boxes and walked past the cherry blossoms. When they reached the wall, the lady stopped and didn't know how to turn over. Shu Ji folded back and put the box up high, and helped the lady up gracefully, and then the lady jumped down. It also feels great to run towards freedom and hope! The Mian bell at the end rang on the sea, mixed with the sound of gasping from time to time, it was really picturesque... Isn't it a happy ending to watch the drama~

  • Sook-Hee: I need to remind myself that I want to be rich and then travel somewhere far, eat foreign foods, buy bright shiny things and, most importantly... forget about Hideko.
