There are tears in my eyes but they can't come out

To tag, this movie has too many tags to tag. Revenge, curse, fashion, love, affection, comedy, blood, sex, deceit, suspense, romance, music, family... any one is more intense than the title "The Dressmaker". Maybe this is also the director's purpose. Everything seems to be understated, but undercurrents are surging. The Dressmaker is not only the maker of dress.
Use the atmosphere of comedy to create a tragic life. The colors of the film are bright and light enough to make people feel like they are watching a comedy. . But whether it was because she was wrongly convicted of murder since she was a child and had to travel far away to be able to reunite with her relatives, or her mother was called slut by the whole village and was bedridden, or she was about to follow her lover away when her lover died unexpectedly, and so on. Up to the end her revenge for burning down an entire village and sabotaging a small show is nothing at all. Matter seems insignificant in front of many abstract things, maybe she has no real revenge, she is still the murderer in the eyes of others, and this return has nothing but made them more cowardly towards her.
"Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake."
"You can create. You can transform people. Use it."
