there is no perfect

Be a good lady, with looks and connotations, what is the purpose of marrying a duke? Money and status? It seems that money and status are a happy and beautiful tomorrow.

On the wedding night, you only know that you have broken that layer of film, what is tenderness? have no idea.

One day you saw a naked maid running out of your bedroom in a panic, what else could you do but gasp to express dissatisfaction?

Fortunately, he is pregnant with a child. The Duke wants a son to inherit the family property and title. If he can give him a son, it should improve the relationship between the two a little, right? But you didn't live up to your expectations and gave birth to a girl.

A few years later, another girl was born. You want to go ahead and have a boy, as if a boy is your happy tomorrow.

In fact, you are almost used to this kind of ruthless life, but the arrangement of the life chart is that you don't want people to live a peaceful life. At a dance, you met a woman your husband wanted to molest. Another miserable woman, you two have the same illness, and you will soon feel the same as sisters. This friendship is like a gift from God, and it has become your emotional support. She also teaches you the flirting lessons you learn from men and shows you what kind of pleasure a man can give you. So you have a desire, you think of your childhood sweetheart.

You went to see your childhood sweetheart and made sure he admired you madly, and you were very happy. Go home and decide to share the joy with your girlfriends. But to find that the servant is eavesdropping on something at the door of your bedroom, it is the gasp of a man and a woman. Who is with him? The answer to this question makes you almost collapse...

Really collapse...

The director gave a shot of the three of you having breakfast together: a dining table as long as the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, you and the Duke One sits at the head of the bridge, the other at the end of the bridge. Sitting in the middle of the bridge is your best friend, your husband's mistress. You ignorant suddenly made a laughable request to your husband: Do you really love each other? If so, I will fulfill you. But there is one condition: you have to accept my childhood sweetheart relationship.

The Duke was furious. Can you not? He "buys" you in with two requirements: 1. Have a son, 2. Be loyal to him. The son didn't get it, and he had to wear a cuckold.

He vents his anger and possessiveness like a beast, and your piercing cries pierce the dead sky. Life is being raped just like your body.

This "married life" lets you finally have a son, the one you thought would bring you happiness, thing.

You still don't seem to give up, you risk your life to play cheating games, and you also use your social celebrity status to promote your politicians (childhood sweethearts) and canvass votes. The result is that you are pregnant with your lover's child again, and you are born and cut away from you and returned to your big prison-like house. In fact, you have thought about flying away with your lover. But the Duke said that the price of your elopement is: never to see your child again, and your man will be instantly penniless.

At this moment, you have completely surrendered to the disgusting life.

The story is over. Finally, the narration of your life summary is: You and your husband, your husband's mistress, lived the rest of your life under one roof, you became the most influential woman in the social world, and your childhood sweetheart became the prime minister.

I don't want to follow along with commenting on the how-to of the movie, and I don't want to point out Knightley's acting and body. The movie threw me three questions that made me think:

1. How do people figure out what they want? How do you know if what you really want is right or wrong? ——She was full of joy when she knew he was going to marry her! It was what she wanted, but a few years later she said it was the biggest mistake she ever made in her life.

2. Life cannot be perfect. to accept it. Myself, my life has too many flaws to accept. Expect less of your life's perfection, and admit that you're not charismatic. Be honest about your imperfections, take them for granted, and not just hold back. ——The Duke and his life, the Duchess and her life, the Duke's mistress and her life, the Duchess' childhood sweetheart and his life...Which one can be regarded as a love like "Pride and Prejudice" fairy tale. The question is: how to accept it?

3. How to face being deceived? I don't know if I really haven't been deceived. If you lied to me, I must... Forget it, I am the most unprincipled person.

Forget it, there is no answer. Be confused, life is just like that.
