The princess dropped her glass slipper

Vita accidentally dropped a shoe after knocking out the policeman. At the end, it turned out that it was a crystal slipper. The police took this single crystal slipper and looked everywhere for a girl who could wear it.

——It is very similar to the story of Cinderella, but the "Prince" did not fall in love with Cinderella, but tried to molest her and was taught a lesson. The director made a dark joke with this well-known fairy tale.

Finally, the police drove into the town and asked the owner of the shoe to come out. Sure enough, a woman came out, dressed like a bride - still the core of Cinderella. After the prince found Cinderella, he held a wedding and lived a happy life since then. The director satirizes this stereotypical fairy tale with this similar scene.

This "newly married lady" does not dress like a Western bride, but like an Eastern bride. It also shows the film's attention to subcultural groups.

Everyone came out to protect the Vita, everyone called themselves the drag Queen, and there was a lot of righteousness in it, and the scene was no different from the modern ride event.

These people are dressed in pink or red, which is also a symbol of bright flags. They are all heroes in the powder team.

When it comes to the translation of the title of the title, "Beautiful Girls", let me make a few digressions. I've never known the most appropriate translation of the word shero, the most common being "heroine". But at first glance, this word is a male-oriented thought. Since it is "male", how can it be "female"?

Therefore, some people translate it into "heroine", and there is a movie called "Space Heroine Barbara". But there is a problem with the context of the heroic female, which is that the Chinese like to say "a showdown between male and female" - female naturally carries a pejorative meaning worse than male. If it is "female", the element of "ying" is weakened, and the word "hero" reduces the degree of praise. Alas, history has left thousands upon thousands of questions.

I opened this film casually, but I didn’t expect it to be so pioneering and exciting. Originally, I just wanted to see what other movies the leading actor of “Ghosts of Love” has also acted in, but when I came across the wonderful poster of this movie, my whole body was covered. All are written in four big characters: I am a good film.

The whole thing is lighthearted and hilarious, and there are some deep and thought-provoking moments—the Vita's headgear being taken off is unreasonably sad. But the director is just right, not falling into the cliché of preaching, but it is particularly worthy of aftertaste.

Write these words casually, and there is no theme. Finally, let me talk about one of my impressions - the strawberry conference created by the three protagonists is really wonderful. Everyone in the town is dressed so fabulously that it can be the inspiration of which designer for a certain season. That black Clara, wearing a green sheer robe, doesn't look like Molly Goddard?
