a short review

There may not be a common language between men and women. Men don't always understand the obvious, and it's their casual perfunctory, pretentious pot belly that drowns out women's cries. Women, on the other hand, always stray from the point and speak out of mind. Paul wanted to test his wife's fidelity, both out of doubt and as if he wanted to confirm the dark side of his heart. Camille could not tolerate being ignored by loved ones and out of place by the ambitions of men, she became aggressive, resentful and contemptuous. Facing the change of his wife, Paul had the idea of ​​revenge, and carrying a pistol might be the worst plan. But as constantly emphasized in the Odyssey script, "killing can't bring back love", Paul didn't do it, he didn't have a strong desire, and he was deprived of the conditions for violence. But in the end, tragedy still befalls Camille and the producer. We cannot understand that this is the judgment of the gods, just like the statues of the gods that the camera keeps cutting back to, no matter what position and height they stand in. , God is just watching from the sidelines.
