Uh, um, this one

It's been a long time since a movie could let me put down what I'm holding and "watch" it; the whole movie has a "weird" atmosphere all the time, and of course it can be said to be all kinds of "signs".

This movie feels a bit like "Gone Lover" and "My Horrible Wife", both have a wife with a high IQ who is good at manipulating, or, in other words, a stupid man - um, after all, there is a comparison next. But the woman in "Gone Lover" and "My Horrible Wife" is more like a sheep in sheep's clothing and wolf's clothing. You read that right, and I didn't write it wrong. The skin of the sheep, the outermost layer is very pitiful, the inner layer is very revealing, and the innermost layer is full of loneliness. And here, it is a sheep with three layers of skins, wolf skin, sheep skin and wolf skin, who makes the male protagonist unreliable. Maybe you will object that it is a sheep, saying that she is too insane, but hateful people must be pitiful, there has never been a real wolf in the world, and the law of survival is at work.

There are a lot of blog video shots in the film, which is a bit similar to the previous hit "Internet Lost".

The focus of this film is not the husband and wife, but the tormenting battle between the two heroines. This one needs to be appreciated by myself. Am I going to tell you that this is what attracted me to watch it?

The screenwriter tells us through this story that no matter how high your IQ, no matter how cruel your methods are, no matter how vicious your heart is, you can't match your high emotional intelligence. Everyone loves. Also, don't find a girl with a higher IQ than you. If it's fate, then your fate is really good, because the possibility of the plot in the movie happening to you is really slim.

    It's rare to meet a double heroine that you like. The first half of the suspense is well done, and the second half is broken...

    The magpie that occupied the dove's nest cruelly cut the unfit long skirt; the dove who resurrected the body reluctantly tossed the wrench in the air. A woman's war is not only hard-hearted, but also painful. Ignoring the ethics and ambiguity with my brother at the funeral, and murdering my sister in the mother’s womb, like a harmless housewife before the podcast, pretending to be a wife of domestic violence in the camera. The man degenerates into grabbing his lower body and arbitrarily putting on blame, hurting his collarbone helplessly, and indulging in dangerous and useless playthings.

A Simple Favor quotes

  • Emily: [after Stephanie takes a picture of her] Did you just take my picture?

    Stephanie: I'm yearbook mom.

    Emily: Did I ask you to take my picture? Erase it.

    Stephanie: Oh, you look really chic. It's just for Faces and Places. Just for the other parents.

    Emily: Erase it, or I'll slap a fucking injunction on your yearbook. Do you understand?

    Stephanie: Yeah. Okay.

    [Deletes the picture]

    Stephanie: Yeah, it's gone. Whoa. Bye bye.

    Emily: Don't do that again.

    Stephanie: Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry. Or I didn't mean to offend you. Um, I'm sure that stuff's really sensitive in your industry.

    Emily: Oh, no. It's all good.

    Stephanie: I'm probably not the kind of person that you're normally friends with.

    Emily: Oh, you do not want to be friends with me. Trust me.

  • Diana Hyland: Okay. What do you know about her? How did she die?

    Stephanie: In the lake, on heroin.

    Diana Hyland: Well, you don't believe that, or you wouldn't be here.

    Stephanie: She didn't ever mention Michigan, did she?

    Diana Hyland: [Diana pushes a box towards Stephanie] That is the only thing that she ever left here. She said she had it since she was a kid. I warn you, you go poking around in her past, you're going to find some shit that is terrifying. She was not a normal person like you or me.
