I was also bored when I came across such a piece. At first I just looked at it. I didn't expect that the more I looked, the more I couldn't stop. Calling the actors and directors directly is genius!
In this play, scandals are gimmicks, diaries are clues, and characters are souls. The model is simple, female one * female one, interspersed with eroticism, ethics, les, but all the storylines are secondary, because there is only one theme of the story, the director is talking about human nature, and this human nature is still niche, only belongs to There are two types of people. Friends who carefully observe life will find that we are more or less always surrounded by such people, who are sympathetic (help anyone who does anything, and are very kind but belong to the kind of bad people) and carefree (with Everyone calls them brothers and sisters, they don’t defend themselves, and they don’t respond when they are taken advantage of); there is another type that looks quite normal (a bit rigid, popular, just a bit weird), always wears a hypocritical smile, and looks like a human being and an animal. Harm but always "single". If you have one or you are, then congratulations, you can take the right seat.
Because 9.9 out of 100%, such a person will have the psychology and state of the person in the play. Let's talk about
the old maid played by Judi. The first scene is that she sits alone on the bench and looks at the people playing around. She has no one to accompany her and can't find anyone to accompany her. The London accent tells about her only friend—her diary. When she was a child, she wrote a diary because she wanted to record what happened the next day. The subject of the diary was the first person. Some of the things that are revealed to others, inexplicably, I will use the second person, or separate my will from the things recorded in the diary to form a separate individual, as if I was talking to the diary. Judi is lonely, so she It is natural to choose such a carrier as a diary. Such an old man who is over 500 years old has no children, no daughters, no lover, no friends, and only an old cat. The protagonist of this theme is very common. We all know that such a person must have a problem, but we do not know what the problem is. The film, through the diary, fully exposed her inner world to the audience, and presented the despicable, selfish, hypocritical, and ugly people buried in deep loneliness.
The art teacher played by cate is another type of person. She looks like a white lily, looking pure and noble, but exudes a strong and enchanting taste, which makes people unconsciously attracted and sinking. Her appearance seems to be just to declare beauty. is also a sin. Cate and Judi are two different beings. They set off each other and support the whole film. The acting skills of the two actors are very good.
If Cate uses her beauty to make people remember her, then Judi uses her delicate acting skills to make people amazing. She is lonely, her loneliness is like a vine, bit by bit eroding her heart, she dresses up for someone else's invitation, she gets excited for a long time because of someone else's word, she arouses desire for someone else's touch, cate invites her to go When she was at home, judi wrote, "Heaven, a cheerful little red flag is stuck on my arctic wilderness-like calendar." The soundtrack is just right, set off the light in her calm life, and the fact that she is lying The paragraph in the bathtub: "People like Shiba, they think they understand what loneliness is, but it is the loneliness that can't see the end of the water droplets in their hearts, they don't understand at all, they plan to dress up for a weekend, just Because of the need to go out to the laundry, and the feeling of being ignored for many years, an unintentional touch by the bus driver can also be sent directly between the legs, arousing infinite shocks and desires." We know that She is pitiful. The vicissitudes of her life have been stamped with the seal of loneliness, but she is also hateful. She does not know love, and she is not worthy of love. Her life, she wants to connect cate's life trajectory to herself, she makes decisions for her, "helps" her out of her marriage, and keeps cate by her side in the name of friendship, such people are dangerous, cate's Destruction is inevitable, because that is the problem of cate, her beauty is easily broken, and her imperfect mind and her own loopholes lead to her destruction.
In the last scene, when judi was sitting on the bench and talking about cate to another woman, she couldn't help but make people laugh. For me, cate is not her love, but a prey. If you hunt it, it's hers, but you can't hunt it. Just change this diary and catch the next one. Her selfishness, ruthlessness, and hypocrisy are evident.
The benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom, and that's it.
