A daydream of a daytime beauty.

After reading a lot of comments, they all said that those very abrupt clips that were suddenly inserted into the story were the daydream of Daytime Beauty, something she subconsciously longed for and which was confirmed in reality.

Some are, some are not.

Snippets #1 and #2: A little girl is sexually assaulted by a monstrosity. The priest asked a little girl to hold a small white piece of paper (forgive me for not knowing what it was, it should be an item at the funeral), the little girl refused. These two clips are not the daydreams of the beauty of the day. They should tell the beauty of the beauty of the day in a flashing way as a child-don't forget how much Freud valued the "sexual experience" in his childhood, or his childhood. Sexual experiences. It is these experiences that make Daytime Beauty's subconscious pursuit of sex different from other bourgeois ladies.

Snippet #3: Daytime Beauty is tied to a post and Peel's friend Hasson scolds her while throwing dirt on her. It was one of her daydreams. There is a point worth paying attention to here, why is Ha Sun punishing her? It stands to reason that the beauty of the day is really sorry for her husband, and there are many places in the plot that the beauty of the day implies that her husband is very guilty. But in her own daydreams, the real punishment was Ha Sun, whom she had always hated. There's only one explanation for that: It's Ha Sun that Day Beauty really feels sorry for, which means it's Ha Sun that she really likes. Perhaps out of guilt for her husband, or for various other reasons, Beauty Daytime can only act like she hates Ha Sun in front of others (especially in front of her husband), but in fact, in her subconscious, what she really likes is Ha Sun. So, when subconsciously she felt that she should be punished, it was Ha Sun who punished her too.

Snippet #4: Peel and Hasson duel, Peel wins, but Daytime Beauty also gets shot. This daydream comes after Hazen discovers Daytime Beauty's female identity. The second identity of the beauty in the daytime is exposed, and Ha Sun holds her very unprincipled (from the dialogue in the women's branch, I can see that the translation I read is that she has no principles, I don't know if she actually said it more ruthlessly ah~). The subconscious love of the beauty of the day for Ha Sun has been desperate, and Peel has the upper hand in the choice of where to go, which is why Peel killed Ha Sun in the duel. This also explains why the day beauty who didn't take part in the duel at the end was also injured because she lost Ha Sun who she really liked~~

Snippet #5: Peel heals in an instant, and the dreamy sound of a carriage is heard downstairs. I feel that Pil didn't heal in an instant, it should have been a long time, but he finally got better anyway (Beauty in the daytime also said when he was taking care of Pil, the doctor was very optimistic about his condition and thought he would get better). Think about the last scene in Hitchcock's "North by Northwest". The male protagonist was originally trying to save the female protagonist who was about to fall off a cliff. When the camera switched, the male protagonist had already pulled the female protagonist onto the train home. Movies don't have to shoot everything step by step, and the director can just play tricks. As for the final carriage bell, I don't think that's where the movie ends. The ending of the movie begins where Peel takes revenge on Daytime Beauty. Pil pretended to forgive her after Hasson told him the second identity of the beauty in the daytime, but when he got better, he arranged a revenge carefully (the director gave a lot of scenes of Pil crying, I believe his tears will not be in vain). This also explains why there ends up being an empty carriage driving through the forest, not downstairs in the Parisian beauty of the day. This means that the carriage is not there to pick them up (if Daytime Beauty can't hear the carriage bell at home), and after Peel's revenge on Daytime Beauty - Peel and Daytime Beauty are both lost and will never come back.
