The Attractive Reverie of "The Beauty of the Flower"

's show rating of 2.4 was considered middling in the main competition at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, but the heroine's looks and personality made this film unforgettable for a long time. A girl of our age, or even younger than us, lived a double life every day: an ordinary girl at home and school, and a prostitute the rest of the time.

There are not a few movies about problem teenagers, but because they are linked to sex, the subject of teenage prostitution is particularly attractive. The bed scenes in the film are also well done. This may be one of the reasons why European and American movies are fascinating. Without the pressure of censorship, the script of the movie can focus on this kind of story of this group. This is also one of the reasons why we like to watch movies, to understand more people's lives, to feel the mentality of different groups, and to make ourselves less one-sided in dealing with the situation.

I still can't figure out why this girl wants to go into prostitution: her family is not rich, but she is really well-off. He has a younger brother and a good friend at school. The only explanation may be the divorce of the parents' marriage. The state of the parents' marriage will have a silent and silent influence on the next generation. Whoever is born is a blank sheet of paper, it depends on what color the elders sprinkle on the child in this concept. The divorce of her parents and another cheating after her mother's remarriage made this girl lukewarm to the boys around her who favored her. After receiving countless clients and making deals with many married men, she went further astray step by step, so that she still couldn't quit at the end of the movie. When I see it, I sometimes feel that she is the same as "Female Addict", but it is just a physical need and a psychological curiosity. And money is not the first thing to her.

The world becomes amazing because people are different. We can disagree with her actions, but we have no right to judge. Maybe one day, you will also do something that surprised you 10 years ago?
