Scene 1: A good dream has woken up

The cold wind is howling, the ground has been covered with a thin layer of fine snow, the decaying block is desolate and empty, and the chilling winter has come. With the gray sky, gray house, gray street, and the desolate narration, we seem to be able to feel Lila's situation and mood. The camera fixed in the public area is like a huge wheel of fortune or a clock, but there is no sign of the gear turning or the hour hand moving, as if life here is stagnant and silent.

After Christmas, she stopped going to work in the cobbler's shop and stayed at home all day. She once dreamed of making money from "Cerullo" leather shoes, but she was awake enough. Their shoes are technically unqualified, which means they struggle to make even a perfect sample on their own. And the father, will not support them. Her enthusiasm for getting rich and making money has faded, which is not a good sign. In such an environment, there is no hope, how to live? How do you get those glowing eyes back again?

What disappointed her even more was of course her brother. His stupidity, delusion, madness, and fanaticism made him seem so hopeless. He still couldn't stop the shattered dream, looking for sparks in the cold embers.

This day is Epiphany in Italy. According to legend, witches will enter the house from the chimney to deliver a gift. Lila woke up in the morning and found that there was a stocking in front of the bed, pinching the bulging sock, she slowly smiled sweetly, because her brother gave her a gift, indicating that her brother was reconciling with her and was no longer angry with her .

Lila walked to the dining table and poured out the gift, but what rolled out was a few lumps of charcoal, and the relationship between the two was still stiff. She angrily placed the family's tableware, but there was no bowl in front of Reno's seat. Mother put the bowl for Reno, and she also took it back to the cupboard.

Reno came out triumphantly, because he successfully tricked Lila, and gave out a bad anger that she looked down on. As a result, the two scolded each other and got into a fight.

Dad came out. If you don't look at his expression and listen to his lines, you will think he is very happy, but in fact he has no smile at all and his expression is cold. It turned out that Reno didn't know whether to live or die, and gave the pair of sample shoes made by the brother and sister to his father.

But Reno thought his father was really praising him. Reno looked at Lila and seemed to say: Look, I said what I could do.

He couldn't see that his father was wearing shoes, and he gritted his teeth as he walked around the house, holding back his anger.

When my father turned around and said that the shoes were very comfortable, he was smiling, but he was sneering with his nose, and there was a sad look in his eyes, as if he was saying: this over-the-top coward.

In the blink of an eye, the father's expression changed drastically and his face was hideous. He shattered his son's pitiful fantasy, just as he ruthlessly shattered Lila's humble dream of continuing to go to school.

This man, when he thinks that his children are carrying unreasonable delusions, he will be angry, the expression of beating and scolding seems to be saying that it is his responsibility to replace the gods to teach his children who are not reconciled to the despicable fate They, his anger had a very fatalistic tragic undertone. His stupidity made him think that his children were only worthy of stupidity. This is the tragedy of the poor themselves.

Reno was so heartbroken by his father's attitude that he wanted to kill himself immediately.

At this time, two unidentified young sons broke into the kitchen. They were carrying stockings with gifts. Their ignorant expressions had an inexplicable sense of joy. Wouldn't it be more sad to see a smile in the tragedy?

Lila put the shoes back into the box and placed them high up. In fact, she cherishes this pair of shoes. These are elegant leather shoes that she designed and participated in the whole process. It embodies her dreams of money and freedom that once burned in her eyes. Although she woke up from the dream, she was not willing to throw away the evidence of the dream. She will put the dream away, but never touch it again.

Scene 2: The world is as heavy as a rock

In Elena's class, the teacher held a pen in his hand, and tapped on the desk for a while, bored and distracted. The students all stared nervously, only Gino, a zero-graded student who didn't care about his studies at all, snickered from below.

Alfonso, who had smashed the exam, stood on the podium and sobbed in grievance. He also lowered his head and glanced at Elena under the stage, his eyes seemed to show inferiority. This can't help but remind people of the scene of learning competition in elementary school, when he lost the competition, he also had an expression of grievance that he wanted to cry. This kind but weak child's personality has not changed.

Gino laughed at this moment, and Elena gave him a disgusted look.

After Alfonso went down, the teacher praised Elena aloud for her composition. We found that she was not very excited. It turned out that this composition was written by Queen Dido, and the opinions of the composition were actually said by Lila and Elena when they chatted. She was probably thinking that the genius Lila should be sitting in the classroom enjoying this honor!

Alfonso glanced back at Elena, Elena smiled softly, and Alfonso lowered his head again in inferiority. This shot corresponds to the previous shot of Alfonso looking back at Elena with a funny smile when she was laughed at by her classmates in Greek class, but this time the roles have been switched. However, the warm friendship between the two was shown in a few idle sentences in the TV series. This is a technique I admire very much. Chinese TV dramas have lost this technique. In fact, Chinese classical literature has this technique. For example, I like to read "Water Margin", which is often used. The ancients gave it a graceful name: grass snake gray line .

After school, Elena followed Nino every day, and Gino caught up. Elena accused Gino of being rude in class and broke up with him coldly. From the "hungry choice" at the beginning, to the decisive cut off relationship now, Elena is on the way to grow into an independent woman.

At Lila's house, Elena told her that her composition had been praised, and she wanted Lila, who was in the gray haze, to share the happiness, but Lila was silent.

From the dialogue, I learned that Lila stopped going to the library to borrow books. She said that reading gave her a headache. Who would care about books? She gave up the pursuit of knowledge. Pursuing wisdom in such a hopeless environment is indeed quite vain. The heavy, unchanging things in life had weighed her down.

Scene 3: Who comforts my worries

One of the things that upset Lila recently was that she had received two confessions within a week.

The first came from Pasquale, the carpenter's son. The camera goes back to the scene of the day of the confession. Faced with a sudden engagement request, Lila is defenseless.

Lila didn't want to hurt Pasquale, she told Pasquale in a soft voice: "I like you, but just like I like Antonio, Enzo, I like everyone, just like I like Reno."

"But I don't like you and Carmela the same way."

Pasquale left sadly.

You treat me as a brother, but I don't treat you as a sister.

The second confession came from the playboy and the gangster Marcello.

Lila wouldn't be polite to him, she was dashing. Marcello was driving a car to show off, and she satirized him, do you live in the car?

Marcello got out of the car and caught up, docile as a good dog, and apologized to her for what had happened at the ball. Lila replied coldly. At this time, Marcello confessed, using the old-fashioned dream proposal method, and his expression was even more intoxicating. Lila is beautiful:

- In a dream, did I promise you?

--Yes.

- That proves to be a dream.

Lila "greets" Marcello and his family even more severely. Now she is fully aware of the sinful nature of the Solara family, the behavior of wanton bullying of women, and the shooting of fireworks on New Year's Eve, make her hate him even more. With her character of hatred and hatred since she was a child, how could she accept such a person-in order to please Lila, he even threw the blame on his younger brother (although it was true that he did not fire the gun, but he gave the order).

But this guy didn't give up and pestered Lila all day long, so Lila was always hiding from him at home now.

Lila was ironing Rino's clothes while talking to Elena, which showed that she was no longer angry with her brother and wanted to repair her relationship with him.

But Lila was mired in self-doubt. She asked Elena:

- Do you think there is something wrong with me? I will make people do the wrong thing.

She said that Reno began to be gentle with her again, and persuaded her to make shoes together. His fantasies became even bigger. He wanted to buy a car and a TV, and he was impatient.

Lila said "she makes people do wrong", meaning she thinks she's leading Reno astray. She was also crazy about shoemaking at the beginning. She drew the design sketches, and she may have come up with the idea. , she also sketched out such a beautiful blueprint:

——Two pairs today, four pairs tomorrow, thirty pairs a month, four hundred pairs a year. In the future we will open a mechanized shoe factory with at least fifty workers - the Ceruro shoe factory.

After Reno got this sweet dream, he became addicted and became more and more addicted.

Lila tells Elena that Reno invited her to go downtown for ice cream on Sunday. This is of course the intention to please his sister, hoping that her sister will support him and continue to dream of making a fortune with trendy shoes with him.

Elena persuades Lila to agree to Reno, and is willing to accompany Lila to hang out. Elena felt that Lila had been too depressed recently, and she was encouraging Lila to contact the outside world.

This is reminiscent of when Lila always encouraged (though intimidating and deceiving) Elena to step out of the safe zone, go to the basement warehouse to pick up dolls, go to the gang boss Archie Looking at the sea far away.

Now, it's Elena's turn to encourage Lila in her distress. The encouragement and relief of both sides in the friendship, full of the brilliance and warmth of human nature, the evil of human nature and the suffering of the world, all seem so insignificant at this moment.

At this moment, the music is also warm and affectionate. The two looked at each other tenderly and smiled. The energy of friendship quietly completed the chemical conversion in this pair of eyes, turning it into the driving force to move on.

Game 4: The Fallout

The first picture after entering the city is the densely packed car in the parking lot, which makes people think of the little car that the Solara brothers drive all day long. But here, there are countless such cars. The insignificance and hopelessness of the slums is deeper.

This is Lila's first time entering the city. Who would have thought that Lila, with such an excellent temperament, has grown up so much that it was the first time she walked out of the slum and came to the city. She never even thought about going out. This reminds me of the time when I looked at the sea in my childhood. When Lila walked through the bridge hole, she began to tremble, her eyes were no longer firm, and the dark clouds in the sky made her look back to the slums that were constantly away from her. Still turned around and ran back.

Compared with Lila, Elena in childhood did not have such hesitation. She had such a simple and soft firmness along the way. She always looked ahead. Although there was nothing but the horizon on the straight road, she was happy. Go forward hurriedly.

After high school, Elena's school was already in the city, and she was further away from the slum, but Lila still lived in a slum house and worked in a shoemaker's shop every day.

We can recall that we are surprised to find that since Elena went to high school, there has been very little direct depiction of Elena at her ghetto home. Doesn't this imply that she is getting farther and farther away from this poor community and family?

Elena was destined to leave, but Lila was still there. This line of sadness was faintly visible.

After getting off the bus, Lila was dressed in simple but slim and beautiful clothes, and her hair was carefully combed, making her look more noble than ever before.

He was accompanied by Elena, Reno, Pasquale, and Carmela.

(After getting off the bus, Pasquale mentioned a stalk of the statue of the King of Naples. I don't know what it means. I hope someone who knows can tell me)

The group of five was walking happily, but a few whistles were unpleasant. The Solara brothers drove past, with Jiyola and Ada sitting in the back seat. The two girls were smiling while sitting in the car, feeling superior to others. Ada is even more sad. She was bullied by the Solara brothers. She came back crying, and her brother was bullied by them. She was willing to hang out with the Solara brothers and laughed at Lila and others who were walking. A girl who would rather sit in a BMW and cry. Compared with Lila's thorough understanding of Marcello, she is coldly rejected, whether women are wise or ignorant, noble or depraved, at a glance.

The appearance of the Solara brothers was quite a disappointment. Everyone wanted to buy ice cream and went back, but Lila's calm and relaxed personal charm began to diffuse, and she cheerfully insisted on playing happily. Lila, who was revived, talked and laughed, and bumped into a shoe-shining booth. Wearing high-heeled shoes, she mixed garlic on the soles of her feet.

Lila suddenly saw a large shopping mall with luxury like a palace, and everyone felt ashamed, but Lila was very firm (every time I saw her firm expression, I could think of her when she was a child, it was Lila's consistent firmness), she is not like this Don't go.

Lila said: Do you think I'm ugly?

Pasquale said: You are not ugly (meaning we are ugly).

Elena and Carmela looked down at themselves, a little inferior, like saying: Am I ugly?

Entering the shopping mall, the melodious sound of the piano wafts, and the upper-class gentlemen and ladies are chatting and laughing, and they are often casual, and all of them have "rich and noble" written on them.

The TV set in the cupboard, the audio equipment, the suits hanging on the mannequins, and the accompaniment of the pianist at meals are all manifestations of material civilization and consumer society.

I couldn't help laughing at myself. When you saw this, you suddenly realized that the era of this drama is not the Middle Ages, not the pre-modern, but the real modern society. Ironically, this advanced material civilization is just one car away from that impoverished community. Everything here is like a splendid greenhouse isolated from the world, as if the adjacent ghetto is another world, or simply a bubble that does not exist. The two worlds run side by side, forever and ever, without disturbing each other, so harmonious!

But now, the poor and lowly Cinderella broke into the beautiful Crystal Palace, and she was not afraid. She held the ice cream in her hand and looked forward to the brilliance, as if it was no different from visiting the vegetable market. Carmela looked up at the dome and was timid. Reno, who was uneasy, puffed out a cigarette angrily. Pasquale looked at Lila's back with admiration, and felt that he was not worthy of her. And Lila was just strolling around in the courtyard, lingering at will.

The cigar smoker was amazed by Cinderella's demeanor. But Cinderella said:

——These people are very ordinary; the guys in the neighborhood who think they are capable are not worth mentioning.

This Cinderella, she mocked the pretentious lady in public. Those skins covered with gorgeous clothes were nothing in her eyes.

A couple approached, the man was stupid and tall, and the woman looked like a stupid bird with a funny expression, all in blue clothes, and a small green round hat on his head (if you pay attention, this couple was before seen in footage of them standing in front of the window where the suits are hung to watch).

Reno laughed at the woman's hat, and they heard it clearly. The man turned around and called Reno "a pariah." Reno was furious and beat him rudely. The reason why he was so out of control was because the man had hit his most painful point. He is just not willing to be a poor man again, he wants to make a lot of money, he wants to buy a car and a TV, and live a rich life. But he couldn't do it, there was nothing he could do, and neither his father nor his sister looked down on him. But this guy came to sprinkle salt, and he poured all the anger in his chest on this unlucky bastard.

Disappointed by Reno's behavior, Lila lashes out, calling Reno "shit".

Reno in turn scolded Lila loudly for always causing him trouble, always self-righteous, and always disobeying him - he felt that Lila made shoes if she said it, and if she didn't, she wouldn't do it, and said shoes If the quality is not good, it is not good, everything is never up to him to have the final say. He was frustrated and annoyed, and the resentment against Lila that had been backlogged in his heart was now vented out.

Lila said nothing, let him scold her, and she started to blame herself again, feeling that Rino had become so responsible for it (as she said to Elena earlier: she will make people do wrong).

Scene 5: How much money is left in the soul

Reno refused to go back with Lila, and Lila persuaded him that he had to listen to him when he claimed that he was the eldest brother. His self-esteem was extremely fragile. Lila was persuaded by Elena to go back.

Sitting in the car, Lila scolded Reno "jerk" to her two girlfriends. At this time, Carmela's words were very interesting: "What should he do? He wants us to go back because he doesn't want to make extra troubles." Listening to her tone, she was pointing at Reno and accusing Lila. As women who are completely different from Lila, Carmela, Ada, and Jiyola act as contrasting "negative" images in the play. Although their characters are different, their common features are: Imprisoned in a patriarchal society, with weak self-awareness.

——Lila's advice and anger towards her brother are indisputable. Carmela does not work here. She thinks that Lila is offending Rino and overstepping her duty.

Seeing Reno being retaliated against, Lila desperately went to save her. How much she hates her brother is precisely because of how much she loves him.

The Solara brothers passed by and took out the iron rod to relieve the siege. Reno asks the Solara brothers to send Lila back.

In the Solara brothers' car, Ada and Jiyola complain that the three of Lila are encroaching on their space, and Jiyola calls Lila a ferret face (I searched, ferrets are cute).

Giyola asked Marcello to stop, Michele and her looked at each other, and knowingly told her brother to stop, Giyola walked to the passenger seat, sat on Michele's lap, and the two began to linger all the way. Jiyola was showing off, she felt she was better than Lila and Elena in the back of the car. Elena was still a little shy, and Lila didn't even look at her.

Marcello spoke to Lila from the rearview mirror, and he naturally had a desire in his heart. Marcello asked if he wanted to go for a ride. Everyone knows the meaning of "going for a ride", but Lila certainly wouldn't agree. Ada seemed addicted to drugs and even said she was going.

Jiyola and Ada have already been alienated in the patriarchal society. They have completely lost their independent personality (or never have), become the subordinates of men and Jinquan, and take pride in being in it.

Lila resolutely got out of the car at a distance from home (it seems to be under the bridge pier where she watched the sea pass by in her childhood), and Marcello watched the pigeons fly in disappointment.

Scene 6: Desire is like a demon

While Lila was drying her clothes on the roof, she talked to Elena about the new changes. Marcello is now frequenting her shop, not only to please Lila, but also to Reno. He helps Reno hide the fight and brag about himself at her house all day long. For this, the father praised Reno for the first time: "This is the first good thing you have done in your life, being friends with Marcello Solara."

"Everyone's crazy," Lila said. Following in Reno's lead, Lila's father also walked into the pink dream, apparently obsessed with the light of Solara's house and completely forgotten about it. The other side is a gang, lending usury and oppressing the poor.

Going downstairs, Lila found Marcello sitting at her dining table, courting her father. The father had a rare smile on his face.

Lila ignored Marcello's flattery and walked into the kitchen to learn that her mother was preparing dinner for Marcello, claiming to put cockroach medicine in his bowl. The mother thinks she should be happy, and Elena agrees. I think if Marcello is after Elena, Elena can't be as resolute as Lila. Elena had not yet deeply understood the "disappearance of boundaries" Lila experienced. Emotionally, she has not been as careful and thorough as Lila since she was a child, and she has always been confused on the issue of poets and mad widows, and eventually paid the price for it.

During the meal, Marcello began to make up stories to please Lila's father. Because Reno and Marcello became friends, Reno's status suddenly increased in his eyes, and he praised Reno with a smile. The image of an ignorant and snobbish pauper is established here.

Marcello began to brag about his family's entrepreneurial history, saying that Solara's pastry shop started from scratch and has grown to the present, where people from all over Naples come to eat his pastry.

Lila teased his exaggeration mercilessly, his father stared at her angrily, trying to lose his temper, and his mother stopped him with her eyes.

Lila calmed down, with a mocking expression on her face, watching Marcello continue to pretend and promote her view of wealth. What kind of brazenness made him have the courage to tell his family's history of black gold so innocent and noble?

Apparently, Rino told Marcello about the leather shoes, and asked Marcello to support him, telling his father that this matter was very valuable, and Marcello naturally agreed in order to get Lila. Marcello offered to try the shoes on himself. Seeing what Marcello said, Reno's father could no longer oppose it and changed his position.

Her father and brother ordered her to take out the hidden shoes, and Lila walked away calmly, in silent protest. Lila never returned, so Marcello had to endure his anger and returned disappointed. Reno said goodbye to him, and he ignored it. It was obvious that Marcello didn't care about Reno and his shoe dreams. He just wanted to use Reno to gain Lila's heart, and when he found that Reno was useless, he abandoned Reno like a piece of shit.

After Elena said goodbye, she found Lila sitting on the stairs, holding the box containing the leather shoes in her hands, as if she was taking care of a beloved object. This pair of shoes also embodies her hard work, so she will treasure it, and will never let it be contaminated with the breath of someone like Marcello.

Elena didn't want Lila to be subjected to domestic violence, so she accompanied Lila back home. Compared with before, the relationship between the two has become more and more upside down. Elena is the one who is more capable of helping each other.

But after entering the house, Lila was reprimanded by her father and brother. Their expressions were distorted and their limbs exaggerated, as if they were going to eat her. Not only that, but they also had infighting over that elusive dream of getting rich.

The mother's unbearable scream made the two possessed people calm down.

Elena lowered her head and saw the pair of shoes sitting quietly on the ground, unknowingly and innocently. Who would have imagined that when Lila drew it, such a consequence would be ushered in. Originally, she represented Lila's hope of earning money and fleeing. Today, it's just an ominous creature that creates conflict and pain.

Seeing Lila's family calm down for a while, Elena quietly withdrew and closed the door. The door seemed to be a thick piece of darkness, covering the entire light. Lila was inside the door, she was outside. Elena leaves, the picture goes dark, and Lila seems to be locked in forever. This is another shot that reveals the breath of fate.

Game 7: A Bird Wandering Alone

A close-up fixed shot is given to a pair of exquisite leather shoes in the window, which are still the haunted leather shoes. Below the shoe rack stands a handwritten sign: Cerullo Leather Shoes. A fragile and desolate name, because its fate is: only one pair.

Marcello's tall and shady figure came into the mirror, and his eyes seemed to have too much heat, so that the leather shoes in the window were blurred. Yes, these leather shoes were not worth mentioning to him, he didn't take them seriously at all. A poor man's dream, for a man like him, it was crazy and ridiculous.

Lila is her goal.

Marcello thought about it for a while, thinking about what to say about Lila, and then walked in. Under the expectant gaze of Lila's father and brother, he tried on the pair of leather shoes. He didn't appreciate the pair of shoes anymore, his tone was euphemistic but full of irresistible majesty, denying the pair of leather shoes.

Who are Marcello and the Solara family? Loan usury, black market, oppression of the poor. Now they are suddenly kind-hearted, wanting to help a poor family with no capital to do business, have they paid for the road? It's like the wolf feeding the sheep its own meat. But the father and son just couldn't see the simple truth.

Marcello went out, brewed for a while, and finally decided to go straight in. He had lost his patience. Seeing Marcello walking in again, Reno said gleefully, we'll make the shoes better!

Marcello didn't even look at him, and went straight to Lila's father: I want to marry your daughter.

Reno on the side was angrily, disappointed and busy for a long time. It turned out that the whole thing had nothing to do with his leather shoes. The dream he had pinned on Marcello was silently shattered again, but this time, it shattered without even a single ripple.

Lila's father, Fernando, laughed. He didn't care about the brand of leather shoes. Wouldn't his daughter marry a rich man and still stick to her thigh? And, wouldn't it be tighter and easier?

In fact, Marcello was also nervous in his heart. He was worried that if he did not satisfy Fernando's wishes, the other party would be unhappy. When he saw Fernando agree, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene turns to Lila's house, where her parents act as lobbyists and persuade her to quit Marcello. Lila resolutely continued her struggle. Such a person's struggle, so bitter, how long can he last?

What's in the sad eyes of Mother Nunchia in the last picture? Can she understand Lila? I remembered that at the end of Lila's elementary school, in order to keep Lila's talents from being wasted, Mr. Oliviero invited Nunzia to the office and tried her best to persuade her to let her child go to school.

Nunchia knew that going to school was, of course, a good thing, and she made this very clear to her teachers. But she also calmly analyzed the hardships of the family to the teacher: the whole family relies on a shoemaker's shop to maintain a large family, and the husband also supports his parents and sister.

She is quite resigned, because she has no ability, no status, and livelihood is the first and only important thing. She calmly said to the teacher: Madam, I really understand. But do you think if I tell my husband she will change her mind? Do you think my daughter, a girl, will go to school like a young lady while her brother has to go to work? It may be like this in your house, but not in ours.

A statement more persuasive than Churchill's declaration of war, because despair is the strongest voice.

In the play, Nongqia, who resigned her fate, never resisted once, nor did she say anything to her daughter. She was just a humble woman, a submissive wife, and tried her best to make her family live in harmony. I really don't know how such a family, such parents and brothers, could have such a daughter and such a younger sister. It's like the Monkey King popped out of the rock.

We can almost say that talent in desperation is blind poison. There is no military home in the world, why would Sun Wucai be chosen?

Marriage is another tough battle that Lila faces after her education problem. The creators simply condensed and oppressed the worst things about women on Lila alone. Will Lila's struggle succeed this time? A heroic sacrifice? Or rout peacefully?

Music: A Diao - Zhao Lei

Scene 8: A bird soars into the sea

The hardest thing is that even the most capable comrades have to leave her. In this battle, she can only fight alone.

All this was explained in the narration. Lila and Elena had private conversations and exchanges, and Elena vowed to firmly support her in her struggle. But... the winter snow is gone, and when June comes, Elena will be leaving.

Elena came to Teacher Oliviero's house and gave her excellent report card to the primary school teacher who had always cared about her. The teacher was sick with the flu, not very well, and not as healthy as before, but she was very happy. She will continue to help Elena move forward, away from this ghetto.

Teacher Oliviero told Elena that she has a cousin on the island of Ischia, a volcanic island outside Italy, where there are hot springs, beaches, sunshine, and wine. There, surrounded by sea.

Oliviero hopes that Elena can go to Ischia to stay for a while, sunbathe, swim and take good care of her body.

Elena looked at the landscape painting hanging in the teacher's house. It turned out that the painting she saw when she was making up the class at the teacher's house was the island of Ischia. This foreshadowing was buried in the second episode. I just felt how much she longed for the sea at that time.

But now that her dream is finally coming true, her mood will no longer be as excited as when she ran to the unreachable sea, because she knows that every time she walks a stop and looks back, Lila is still the same Standing at the starting station, the lights are dim and the storm is like a storm, she will never see her.

Teacher Oliviero said affectionately:

"Elena, you must get out of here."

The teacher never mentioned Lila again, but everyone knew that when she looked at Elena, she was looking at two girls.

Now I can more and more understand the teacher's feelings for Lila and Elena. Although she is a person with extreme ideas and strict hierarchy in her mind, she really hopes that Elena can go out. She always pushes hard at critical moments. Because she has already lost one person, she has used double the force for every hand she has now.

Oliviero visits Elena's parents and gets them to agree to let Elena go to Ischia. Elena had no time to rejoice, but was sunk in shame. She didn't know how to explain her withdrawal to Lila, who was struggling alone.

Lila's first words when she heard that Elena was going to Ischia was, "Are you going to swim?" This made Elena more ashamed than any scolding.

"Did you just say that? Did you say that for such a beautiful thing?"

Lila's mood, I really can't feel, and can't speak. Disillusioned? despair? helpless? Grief? There are no good words to describe it.

A shot at this time is meaningful. Lila turned her head away speechlessly, and then she saw Melina, the crazy widow whistling and strolling by in the sun, she seemed so leisurely and content, as if she had nothing on her mind.

What does this lens mean? Does it mean that Lila also hopes that she will become like a crazy widow at this time, so that she can numb her spirit and relieve the pain of her heart?

In other words, this shot has a deeper sense of destiny.

I dare say. "Lila-Melina" is a group of character relationships deliberately constructed in this play. On the surface, they did not have direct contact, and they may not have spoken. However, from the first episode to the present, we can all find that the film and television lenses have created a subtle and subtle relationship between the two people. Of course, this kind of relationship is generally formed from Lila's line of sight. A genius, a madman; a protester, a mad widow; a woman who wants to decide her own destiny, a woman destroyed by love. What is the connection between them?

I dare not speculate too much. Put it this way. I thought Lila and Mad Widow were "alike" in styling. Their attire in the slums is all black, and their hair is also slightly curly just like a shawl. Is this a metaphor for appearance?

The mad widow may be a symbol, she represents the author's expression of the most pitiful woman in this society.

She has burned love, although this love is not good and worthless, but it is love. Unable to grasp it, she could only whimper briefly at the fate of being forsaken, before falling into a long "wait".

Yeah, I think she's waiting. She wasn't completely mad, and on fireworks night, she was also on the rooftop celebrating New Years with everyone, sane. Especially when she received a collection of poems by the poet Donato, she couldn't help but run around to tell her, so shamelessly sincere and infatuated.

But her love is extremely fragile, and there is only one thing in her life that shines. We remember the look on Donato's face when she mourned her husband after her husband's death, like a dead tree in spring, as if her life could only burn in this moment. And when Donato's hand broke free from her, she immediately fell into endless ashes.

Her life is also dependent on a man to live, just like an ivy, it has no torso, and must rely on the wall to determine its body and height. When the wall collapsed, he lay on his face in the mud, without the slightest courage or ability to get up again.

Lila's struggle is to say: I don't want this, I don't want this!

But she kept losing, and compared to Elena's constant walking away, the more embarrassed she seemed to be in retreat. At present, there is no hope of her winning. Although she is only a teenager, will she sink into it?

Hopeless resistance is exhausting, and I saw Lila's exhaustion. She looked at the back of the mad widow, was she afraid, afraid that she would see through the end of her own destiny? Will she give up resistance?

"That's good, that's good." Lila was happy for Elena after all, and her vicissitudes of life no longer burned with jealousy (the disparity in the game is getting bigger and bigger, what's the use of being competitive) , only a relief to his girlfriend (how can I believe this is a minor story).

From Lila's eyes, Elena knew that Lila forgave her distance, and she finally dared to meet Lila's eyes and smiled.

Mother sent Elena to the port, rambled about everything along the way. Tell Elena that you swam when you were a kid, don't go into the water after meals and after your period, and laugh at what would happen if you were on a boat and got caught in a storm (which means she's never been on a boat)? This was the most direct expression of her love for her daughter. The ship was about to start, and the mother stood on the shore and said finally:

- Don't talk to strangers, pay attention to safety.

I suddenly remembered that after Elena had her menarche, she was crying in the bathroom washing her underwear, and her mother reprimanded her viciously:

- From now on, remember to lock the door.

Be careful and remember to lock the door.
