I really liked the scene where Sophie was learning to read. She was so urgent, angry, and powerless, which made me feel both funny and bitter. I can't help but think of the embarrassment and embarrassment of illiterate heroines in other films when the same truth is exposed.
Hannah in The Reader; Sue in The Fingersmith. Is it just illiterate secrets that they have been trying to keep, even at the expense of their lives? Or their dignity?
Or is it just because they are afraid to face their own weaknesses and the eyes of others? It can be seen that living unrestrainedly is not an easy task, no matter whether it is poor or rich.
The same similar plot also has the destruction of the book. The difference is that Xiao Mo in "Fingerman's Love Picks" destroys the book with anger at being imprisoned by his uncle for seventeen years. In fact, the purpose is not to destroy the book, but to destroy his uncle's hard work, so as to achieve The purpose of revenge! And Sophie's destruction of the book was nothing more than an understatement and fired two shots at the bookshelf, as if with such a trace of contempt, as if she was saying: what about a noble birth! How about Bo Wen Duo Xue? !
Speaking of similar plots, it is impossible not to mention the shooting. It seems that French directors are more in love with this kind of nonsensical killing game. In "City of Sadness", the principle that Manny and Nadine follow is: if you are not good enough, you will die, or if we are unhappy, the consequences will be serious! And isn't the reason for Sophie and Jane's murder so simple?
