If Kate could be ten years younger this would be perfect

It can be said that I am picky, but this point will always give me some vague sense of violation throughout the film. Kate has always come across to me as a woman who is quite strong at heart, and because of her age I have a hard time accepting the fragility and isolation that the role demands. The age issue will also affect CP interaction, but it is rare that Hammer has successfully created a manly image that is desirable this time. It's a pity that the heroine was a little too cold to him at first, and always felt that the entanglement was not enough. I don't know if Brother Hammer's character can perceive that the heroine is actually very haha. He is just enduring it. Anyway, I didn't see it very much until Brother Hammer was naked and tempted. . . . . .

The real acting responsibility is still the heroine's mother. But it's hard to imagine how my daughter felt when she came home. I believe that if you look back and look again, you will find many details of the gradual and subtle changes in attitudes. Personally, I think the most critical plot of the whole film is the dialogue between the heroine and her mother when she returns home. In retrospect, she explained everything:

start the spoiler and sound the alarm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who is inside? Who, who else? Are they all still there? (This is the tone of revenge)
Did I really kill someone? (This is the key. In fact, the heroine has been tormented by this life. I guess she has a more or less "deserving" mentality. I don't believe that she came back with a plan of revenge from the beginning. "I I don't remember what I did" "I don't believe I did it", but murder is a very serious crime, and a little bit of doubt can crush a person, so she must prove her innocence to herself and others before she can be freed. Just looking for the root, looking for the answer, looking for the truth.)

So once you find the truth, you can accept love. So love turns tragic in the blink of an eye also caught me off guard, unbelievable. Recalling that the whole film is so dark, it seems easy, will it even be like a comedy? In fact, it's so dark, it's all selfish, cruel, unfair, and malicious. And there are absolutely no villains here, sorry, all I see are ordinary people. The heroine finally got her revenge, but I didn't feel the pleasure of revenge. Probably because there aren't any positive changes. The heroine may find a new life, we don't know, the things in her hometown are over, and all she has to do is lose and lose, but fortunately there is also relief. People in the town will be angry and cursed, and they will probably remain the same after that.

But fashion and beauty are positive and will continue to be. It is said that the author believes that the spiritual power brought by good clothes is something that faith cannot provide. Very to the point, and this film captures that perfectly. There are probably a lot of fashion films, but if you talk about fashion alone, you can't be interested. This is the first time that I feel that "the clothes are simple and comfortable and decent" can be changed.
