What do you think of the controversial love in "The Phantom of the Seamstress"?

I think it was the old man played by Lewis who fell in love with the hallucinations and weakness caused by poisonous mushrooms. It was a climax-like experience, so he couldn't help himself. When he finally accepts this irrationality, it doesn't matter what kind of person his wife is. Is this love? Rather, it is a compromise to irrationality. In addition, the female lead is actually very good, she has performed all the shallowness and stubbornness that she should have in this position.

The heroine is not useless, she attracts the hero because she has a perfect body. I recently saw ancient Greek and Roman sculptures in Rome. They all have such a figure, small breasts, full waist and hips, strong arms and thighs.
