Love is a contest, balance of power can go a long way

In the beginning, Adele was a teenage girl full of energy. The hair is fluffy, the face is beautiful, the skin is smooth, the breasts are plump, and the waist is soft, like a deer in the spring forest, running in the woods under the sun. Chased by boys, surrounded by friends, a girl who is completely favored by God.

Until she met Emma and fell infatuated with Emma irresistibly, the girl's original cheerfulness and enthusiasm were replaced by a kind of unease. Although she also has a smile and a job she likes, she is always in a state of constant panic.

It was a deep fear. Fear of losing, fear of being abandoned. A director once said that the greatest enemy in life is fear. Once you are overwhelmed by fear, you lose confidence and freedom.

When her relationship with Emma was still going on between the two, the balance of power was still in balance. Love, it's always like this, at first it was sweet talk between lovers. But when it slowly spreads into your life, into your family and your circle of friends, all kinds of problems arise. When the two appeared in each other's families, the difference in class laid the groundwork for the crisis that followed. Emma was born in an open, free and tolerant middle- and upper-class family, while Adele grew up in a conservative, stubborn, and repressed middle- and lower-class family. The director has revealed who has a stronger inner soil.

When Adele began to appear in Emma's circle of friends, the disparity in power was obvious at a glance. The unrestrained and cheerful Adele who was in her own circle earlier was gone, replaced by a middle- and lower-class girl who was out of tune with the upper art class and could only communicate by providing catering services. They talk about the painter and his work, about the difference in orgasm between men and women, and she doesn't get in at all, just to add to the fun.

As for Adele's derailment later, it cannot but be said that it is related to Emma's cold violence. After being caught cheating, Emma, ​​who was proud and indifferent, was immediately kicked out of the house, showing no mercy. In front of the powerful Emma, ​​the weak Adele was completely defeated.

In the end, Emma successfully held an art exhibition in the city's top galleries, and formed a family with a female painter who had been ambiguous for a long time. And Adele was bruised and bruised. She had a job, no career, and no lover. She was lonely and lonely.

Love is always like this, and the passion in the beginning, if it is not based on a deeper equality—the equality of life and spirit—will vanish into a cloud of smoke as it sloughs off.
