My Watch Book: "Beauty by Daylight"

Maudie 2022-03-24 09:02:44

This is an R-rated film with a harmonious picture but a bold theme. The heroine is a veritable beauty, and Catherine Deneuve's image in the film is heartwarming. But this beautiful young woman with no worries about food and clothing is a sullen and sullen girl with an empty heart. She often fantasizes about being abused, raped and insulted. In reality, his gentle and elegant husband can't give her such intense satisfaction, so he secretly became a prostitute , and those who buy spring customers of all kinds get what they need. This kind of plot can really attract a lot of audiences with bad taste, but its scale is not large, and the backless is the limit. Fortunately, in addition to the heroine, there are many other beauties in the film, so the visual aspect is not bad. The work in 1967 is really early, and the films shot in the corresponding era make today's moviegoers see that there is still a certain obstacle in terms of acceptance.

    1. The heroine really made the role come alive, which is awesome; 2. What is love? After all, there is something missing in love without sex; 3. Under the graceful appearance, there is a body full of lust; 4. At the end.. awesome.

    What is fantasy and what is reality? If it was a dream, at least it had existed in her heart. Once people's life is saturated, it is inevitable that they will be overwhelmed, so they want to try the things they dare not do in their dreams. Sometimes we compromise with reality and have to hide. In fact, many people are two-faced. A gentleman on the surface will hide a shameless clown inside. Once the clown breaks through the flesh, the consequences can be imagined.
