The young girl and the chinaman

Only when I saw the final credits did I realize that the male and female protagonists have no names in the film, including the girl's mother and the girl's brother. It seems that the director deliberately set it up like this. Under the system of the old society, everyone lives in oppression like the hero and heroine. The Chinese are ugly, they are ignorant and degenerate, the French are ugly, they are greedy and afraid of life, Only at this moment, love seems pure and high.
In fact, for the first few minutes, I was watching the movie as an erotic movie. As the plot progressed, I felt as if the movie would tell this poignant love story from the perspective of the heroine. The young ignorant girl faced a fruitless story. In the face of the times she lives in, she deceived her mother and deceived her brother into saying that being with this Chinese is just for money, so as to protect the family, she deceived the male protagonist, and being with you is just for money, which makes it easy to escape The real male protagonist can feel at ease in the marriage arranged by his father, but he silently waters the dry ivy. The girl bears everything alone without even realizing it. At this Chinese wedding, she did not cry and set foot on Paris. The cruise ship, looking at the Chinese who dared not appear in the distance, she did not cry, but on a quiet night, the piece of music on the cruise suddenly made her hysterical, what a silly girl.
Lust seems to be a beacon to each other in the turbid reality. At this moment, you belong to me, and I also belong to you.
