Loneliness is everyone's secret

Loneliness is the secret of everyone's heart. Seemingly happy middle-class housewives, rigorous and rigid single teachers, they have their own concerns in the common friendship.
The single old woman soaking in the bathtub's elaboration of loneliness is deeply and biting, and her strong desire and control come from this. .
The way to escape from loneliness varies from person to person and cannot communicate with each other. Desperate possessiveness makes the most familiar friend armed with a deadly knife, coerced with secret in twisted feelings, and destroyed with scandal.

Society has its rules, and to deviate and break is self-destruction sooner or later.
A diary is the only consolation in loneliness, but no matter how secret it is, it will reveal your unspeakable fragility and privacy.

The choice and performance of the two leading actors are in place. The heroine is really beautiful.
The end of the film is a bit sloppy, and half of the human nature that has been revealed is half-covered.

Notes on a Scandal quotes

  • Barbara Covett: When I was young I had such a vision of myself. I dreamed I'd be someone to be reckoned with, you know, in the world. But one learns one's scale. I've such a dread of ending my days alone. But recently, I've allowed myself to think that I may not be. Am I wrong?

  • Barbara Covett: People like Sheba think they know what it is to be lonely. But of the drip, drip of the long-haul, no-end-in-sight solitude, they know nothing. What it's like to construct an entire weekend around a visit to the launderette. Or to be so chronically untouched that the accidental brush of a bus conductor's hand sends a jolt of longing straight to your groin. Of this, Sheba and her like have no clue.
