Although the play is short, there are many very cleverly arranged scenes. The heroine talked a lot, but also left a lot of unspoken words for the audience to experience. Moreover, there is almost no nonsense in the dialogues in the play, and they are all connected with the relationship between the characters in the play.
The heroine is a very smart and beautiful young woman. However, at the beginning, I felt a little strange, her smartness seemed a little different from her situation. This is also a bug in this shooting technique, so I won't go into it for the time being.
In this drama, one way of showing the plot throughout is that the heroine will have a prediction about the behavior of others before the plot is unfolded. Of course, this can be regarded as a psychological activity of her, although she will tell it to the audience. At the beginning of the play, it was such a scene. The heroine's predictions are exactly the same as what actually happened. Interesting. The audience is also very immersive. I think I am a very close friend of the hostess, because friends often make complaints. . Haha
But, as the plot progresses, until the end, we will find that every time the heroine’s prediction or understanding is not accurate, there will be times of self-righteousness and stubbornness, and this kind of understanding is biased towards herself. , Everyone around her caused harm.
One of the wonderful things about this play is that it has always been objectively recording what happened, and how to recognize or judge these things depends on the audience.
For example, what kind of person is the sister's husband, Martin? Is he a scumbag? When the heroine saw Martin for the first time, she could see her prejudice against Martin. Can this kind of prejudice be understood as a sister's possession of her sister's love? Not discussing for now. The hostess is confident that Martin must be browsing pornographic pages on the computer at this time, but in fact, he is preparing a birthday present for his sister. Including later when he asked his sister to pick out gifts for her sister, their conversations were all about her sister, and they couldn't tell what the brother-in-law meant to her. Until the end, Martin kissed her, but left immediately, and "preemptively" scolded the hostess, which made people a little confused about Martin's attitude. The hostess is indeed innocent, she didn't do anything deliberately. But she is really sexy and attractive. It will make many men have sex drive.
I think this is the real theme of this play, combined with the final paragraph of the heroine. A very sexually attractive woman, how to deal with herself in the real society, how to treat other men's behaviors triggered by her own attraction. The hostess is very open to sex. On the one hand, it is because of her sexual experience, and on the other hand, it may also be because of her straightforward character. Therefore, many embarrassing scenes in this play are the heroine's generous talk about sex, while others are secretive. (Martin is also a person who likes to make sexual jokes.) A lot of her love is obtained through sex. But it's too cynical, to squander it.
Therefore, whether Martin kissed her is not worthy of forgiveness, I think it is not that simple. But, in the end, the thing that my sister used to "attack" her sister, I suspect that they didn't know it at first. It is likely that Martin went to investigate, because they met that person when they went to buy shoes. This makes me feel that Martin is a bit mean.
Therefore, this play is very flexible. Many details are worth remembering.
The relationship between the hostess and her father is also very good. Why does the stepmother hate the heroine so much. Once, I mentioned it inadvertently because the hostess is very similar to her mother. Her father's emotions are very complicated. On the one hand, I miss my deceased wife. On the other hand, I want to get rid of the pain of missing my wife and start a new life. Therefore, he loves and hates the heroine. But the hostess seems to be unable to understand his father's contradiction. But she was not wrong. There is a very wonderful clip in which the stepmother slapped the hostess. Then, the hostess blushed, still politely bid farewell to the stepmother and father, and left. You don't need much performance, just with the hot pain on your face, you can feel the grievance of the heroine at that time.
A good sketch is an objective description, not biased towards any party, leaving everything to the audience's own experience. The more accurate the grasp of the details, the better the effect. Some scenes will make the audience feel very familiar. It seems that they have happened in their real life. This is enough.
The hostess's family, like many families, the problem always lies in the lack of communication.
