Your loneliness smells rotten

When watching this movie, I thought of the life of Matsuko who was despised more than once.
The same loneliness, the same desperate attempt to grab a little warmth and companionship.
The difference is that Song Nuo is simply starving, and if anyone is willing to throw a little bit of kindness to her, she can give her life to give it.
After all, you are young and bloody, you can love so much that you don't care about your head or tail, and it doesn't matter if your posture is ugly, you can all be diluted by youthful enthusiasm.
After all, the old British woman here is old, and she has time to add patience, identity and style, so that she can be self-confident and proud. This thing is very important. With this thing, people at least hope to maintain a little restraint, so as not to tear their skin, even if it is a naked desire, they should be covered with a layer of paint.
I haven't read the original novel, so I don't know if it says how this old woman got old, or what she looked like when she was young. Maybe I once loved passionately, I was disappointed, and finally I no longer trust anyone easily. The emotional acquisition of the person who admires is more like the design of the prey, like a wily spider, careful calculation, no matter what Take each step slowly, as if impeccable.
But she still underestimated the dual power of time and void, how it can destroy a person's spirit. A little bit of friendship gestures are magnified into a daydream, and her taste is not bad. Law will be stupid, but the problem with smart people is here: you can't fool her for too long, they will find out. So it's no surprise that her two times (the movie implies that she had a "special friendship" before Shiba) both ended in failure, it doesn't matter, there is always the next one, and then the next innocent and charming little thing, bumped again into her net.
In fact, loneliness is a good thing. The bad thing is that you are not willing to be alone. You mix desire and control. After years of fermentation, it has become the stagnant water that Wen Yiduo wrote: from a distance, it looks like emerald green and pearl white. The stench of decay comes close.

    I would have liked the movie even more if Barbara stopped talking to a young girl at the end.

    Watching a movie while exercising, more than 100 minutes of aerobics, the old witch is too cruel, watching too much, and the speed of the cross machine is too slow, the coach observed it for half an hour, and finally couldn't help but intervene. . . Ha ha
