deceived

If you really want to see the story, this movie is the setting of a popular erotic novel. A man is played to death by a group of women, and it has no meaning other than pain in the eggs. If you use the original name of the novel "deceived", then it will be interesting: who deceived whom?

The first person to start lying was undoubtedly the headmaster. She claimed to hand over the wounded soldiers to the Confederate army, but she did not follow her words. The reason was naturally the temptation of carnal desire, and all the teachers and students also understood her little calculus. Moral discipline, religious teaching, began to disintegrate. They dressed up one after another, no longer worrying about the so-called lady's decency. Since no one is purer than anyone else, who cares about the chastity arch?

Sadly, this man wasn't that smart either. He was supposed to be well aware of his own situation, and knew that the principal was the one who controlled his life and death—the scene of playing the piano at night was the most obvious. The flirting between the students, and then the appearance of the patrol team, just provided her with the capital of the game, and used the "unreported" to show his "kindness", so that he could no longer refuse the two's request for a "drink". In this way, she holds the initiative in the relationship between the two, and she can advance and retreat freely. If he is a person who can understand the interests and interests, he should quickly become Xiao Fu Di and serve the real heroine. But he insisted on sticking to men's right to choose and take the initiative, using the illusion of "three women fighting for a husband" to add drama to himself, until he put one leg in, and shouted angrily: "You are just because I didn't go. Your room!"

Such a capitalized "Tintincentrism" is laughable. Obviously, the harem fantasies in the subconscious have already made this buddy forget that he is in the enemy's territory, and that he is only a weak wounded deserter. Jedi comeback - because you can't live without me. Subsequent beatings, loss of emotional control and even violent intimidation resulted in hastening his own demise. From this point of view, he was killed by teachers who couldn't stand seduction and students who fell in their arms, including those little loli who were ignorant and familiar. They made him think that he was a rare commodity for a while, and even thought that he had found a bargaining chip to compete with the principal, but he didn't know that as long as you didn't obey the arrangements of power relations, you were just a disposable cannon fodder.

In contrast, the ladies, despite their erotic instincts, knew what they wanted and how to get it: the students went straight for their youthful beauty, the headmaster threw the power in his hands, and the teachers watched. It seems to be in a mess, and in the end, I also seek kindness and benevolence - just tear off the fig leaf of "face". They didn't trap themselves in this game. Once the situation changes suddenly, it is time to turn against the water and turn the water, and the mouth should be silenced. In fact, their pretentious "decent" style is not the result of long-term training by the "lady" rules imposed on them by society? However, at critical moments, they were able to act decisively: when a man scolded and picked up the gun, the safest strategy was of course to kill him immediately and bring him down.

Therefore, there is no oriental "gongdou" drama here, because the real power does not belong to the only male at all. Those who come to the show with preconceived harem settings can only be disappointed. And the hazy atmosphere of all natural light eliminates the hints of pictures that may be caused by all kinds of artificial light. Men and women each have their own thoughts, wandering between reason and desire. If it's a tough guy like the old version of Dongmu, it's really not necessarily able to perform the sticky effect of 囧mei. The point is that the male director can't admit that this is an operation that kills himself, but secretly, he has to throw the pot at the beauties, the most poisonous women's hearts, and mushrooms (the old version of Masha Nicole's comparison, the aesthetic gap between male power and feminism is obvious at first sight). Even some female viewers have become accustomed to that kind of mindset and look forward to watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan" as soon as they come up. This is the most ironic thing.
