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.

    The level of director/photography/editing is very obvious. The heroines are all good.

    "Gone Lover" + "Rashomon", three women and one man are more scumbags than each other, intrigue and kill each other, the director is not making a movie, he is raising a gu. (This also shows that most people have the dark side of human nature, have their own little secrets, and there is no absolute good person. Don't test human nature, because human nature cannot stand the test.)

  • Stephanie: [Pointing a gun at Sean] You used me.

    [to Emily]

    Stephanie: You used me too. But you had me made you dinner, watching your kid, sucking your dick.

    Sean: I had no idea that she was still alive!

    Stephanie: Stop lying.

    Emily: Okay, you guys. I think we should just sit down and talk this out.

    Sean: Emily, you sit down. You hated Stephanie. You used to watch her vlog and rip her apart.

    Stephanie: All I wanted was to be your friend.

    Emily: You were. And then you fucked my husband and my insurance plan.

    Sean: Don't blame her! This is so typical of you!

    Emily: Sean, I was just trying to get us out of crushing fucking debt.

    Sean: Yeah, maybe if you had the good sense to give me a call, I could've helped you with this little plot of yours.

    Emily: Oh, please, you haven't come up with a decent plot in ten years.

    Sean: Really? Right now?

    Stephanie: Can I say something, as the lady with the gun? Nicky deserves better than both of you.

    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?

    [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.
