I was embarrassed to watch the full version on Youku when I was a teenager, but now I can only watch the abridged version = = It is actually a political metaphor. "Spanish people don't live in fear anymore." "No one really has his youth, no one really has the woman he loves." Really intertextual with Buñuel's "Criminal Life". Pentagonal closed relationship... The heroine's character and choice are very much in line with the character of the rebellious daughter of an Italian diplomat

The progression of the film's plot is often counter-logical, both logical and unexpected.
-
Sancho: Look at them. Stealing, scheming, betraying, and corrupting each other. We're guardians of a sick flock.
-
Sancho: I don't know what to do.
David: Try drinking less.
Sancho: Non-drinkers think not drinking solves it all.
