This is a pure maternal space, dense with water vapor and lush forests. The ancient Greek-style white marble column stands quietly, accompanied by the birdsong in the morning and the autumn insects at night, as if it can exist forever, resisting the flood.
Because of the war, it is isolated from the world. Only two female teachers and four girls lead a bland, even boring life. The arrival of the colonel broke all that. Winter wiped the man's body, how could he not be upset?
If the Colonel walked into Nate's room as agreed, perhaps the story would have ended in a completely different way. He was powerless to resist the younger body, so the fall on the stairs, and the subsequent amputation, were not the consequences of his own creation? I believe that Miss Winter is definitely not out of revenge or jealousy. She really can't heal such a serious injury. In order to hold the colonel's life, she can only do that.
The camera pulls away and we hear the Colonel's roar like a trapped beast. It's scary! I didn't expect the subsequent plot to develop in such a terrifying direction.
Am I still a man?
Nate really loved the Colonel, so she chose to dedicate herself to comforting the man he loved so much. Of course, her body is also horny and hungry for a man's touch. Although she knew that she was just a tool to vent her desires, but she really wanted to, and she had to say that it was love that gave her courage.
How could the Colonel, who had calmed down his anger, expect that the mansion that once pulled him back from death was actually his grave. These women who once saved themselves are actually their murderers. Especially the girl walking down the road humming a ballad at the beginning of the film, it was she who discovered the wounded Colonel, who used to be the Colonel's best friend. In the end, she was the one who picked the poisonous mushrooms and killed the colonel.
In the last scene, the dying colonel fell to the ground and struggled. Through his line of sight, we watched these women in elegant dresses under the dim candlelight, quiet horror, unbreakable, like a witch of hell, defending their lives and homes.
As I said, this is a purely maternal space where men are doomed, let alone enemies? Mr. Winter asked the girls to sew fine stitches, and the white shroud was a funeral for the colonel. Nate still obeyed the companions who murdered his lover. No one can take her away. Perhaps, the cage she wanted to escape from was the best place to live in this world. Man, is it really reliable? Can it really bring happiness to a woman?
The lens is pulled away. Behind the iron gate, the women stood under the colonnade, and the man wrapped in cloth was so small. You say women are weak, but they protect their homeland in their own way, just like those colonnades, they rule the world without competition and forever.
