I dare not comment at will, because I don't really understand it. Three women in one play, the presence of men is basically zero in the movie, which I like. When discussing gender in life, I always feel that this topic is too hard. At least this movie tells people that the world of women is not simple. The second is homosexuality. The ambiguity between homosexuality runs through the film throughout the film. Whether it is a film within a film or a woman disguised as a man, it is quite attractive, and it does not leave the topic of homosexuality. Here I think the director is at least not against homosexuality. Then there's age. The age gap, the gap between the self twenty years ago and the self now, the gap between the forty-year-old self and the twenty-year-old peer, and the gap between the twenty-year-old self and the forty-year-old peer , which cannot be ignored. Some people say that in twenty years, I will become you. But Maria never became Helena, and her distaste for the role was palpable and profound. She hated the actor who played Helena twenty years ago, and she hated herself who was about to become Helena twenty years later. As she said herself, Helena is a very sad old woman character. All the meaning of her existence is to set off the young soul. She never understands the meaning of accepting the role of Helena. Maria believes that the only reason Helena fell in love with the girl was because of her youth. Maria never fell in love with the role of Helena, she just accepted it, but in her heart, she will always be that young soul. In the back of the film, Joan completely disrupted the plan to talk about the script because of her boyfriend. This place is actually a little distressing. Maria, as an elder with a high status in the film industry, is completely marginalized. Everyone is talking about Joan. Individuals are in a rush to stop this boring media and nasty internet spread. Maria was like an outsider, and at the same time she was a bystander, calmly watching, forced to get involved, but it didn't matter. This is also a foreshadowing for Maria "out of time" at the end of the film. What impresses me the most about the whole film is that every time Maria and Val speak to the lines, they are complex, integrated, charming and beautiful; secondly, every time the location description is beautiful and shocking; and finally, at the end of the film, Maria's detachment , with the helpless reality and letting go of himself, people can't help but be moved.
