Phantom Thread was nominated for 6 Oscars at the 2018 Academy Awards and won the "Best Costume Design" award, well deserved. Daniel Day-Lewis, the actor who played the leading role, has won 3 Oscar winners before this, and his acting skills are beyond God. The story takes place in London in the 1950s. Reynolds is the royal clothing designer of the British royal family. His inspiration is the fashion vane of the upper class. He has the common problems of artists - arrogance and meanness, extreme pursuit of perfectionism, elegant refusal of people thousands of miles away, insecurity, eccentric personality and strict artistic demands are made into a suit of armor, and more like a cocoon. As if under a terrible curse, destined to grow old alone. Alma, the fisherman's daughter, works as a waitress at the Victorian restaurant on the outskirts of London, exuding the energy of a young woman. It stands to reason that the two people who would not have an intersection, but they met by chance when Reynolds visited the small restaurant. But what follows is by no means the scene where Cinderella meets Prince Charming. Real life has its own fickle logic that cannot be sorted out. When they first met, Alma was deeply attracted by Reynolds' brilliance and aristocratic temperament and could not extricate herself. And Reynolds, who was always mean and eccentric, didn't shy away from admiring Alma -- the perfect body he'd been looking for, and Alma became his inspirational muse. The good times didn't last long. After a short period of joy, the freshness faded, and Ray began to resent the roughness of the countryman on Alma, especially at breakfast, when the cups and saucers collided, and the knife and fork rubbed against the plate. Alma felt no love from Ray at all. Although they were in the same room, an invisible gap separated them into two worlds. At the same time, she also looked down on the pretentiousness of the upper class. The accumulated conflict finally broke out at a well-prepared candlelight dinner, and Alma cried out that there was a detachment between Ray and Ray, and that she was regarded as a stupid fool. Ray relentlessly accuses Alma of completely ruining her life, and roars to get her out of the house. The two loved each other deeply but couldn't bear it, and they were about to fall apart. In the process, you will find that, as Alma said, Lei is not as strong as he appears on the surface. Contrary to the strength shown, Lei's heart is fragile and depressed, and he has never had any intimate relationship. Countless lovers left in a hurry, and the sisters who depended on each other were also tit-for-tat and spoke ill of each other. Celebrities who love the new and hate the old pursue the so-called fashionable and chic, and abandon Lei's pursuit of classical beauty in clothing, which damages his self-esteem even more. Lei reluctantly admitted: "I'm just sad, someone will leave me." The fortress that Lei had built all along collapsed in an instant, and the self-protection mechanism Started to backlash, eroding his will, until it was exhausted and the oil was exhausted. The key to the game came from a wild mushroom that Alma stumbled across in the backyard. It is not difficult to read and compare the "Kitchen Food Manual" to find that this wild mushroom is extremely toxic, and a small amount of accidental ingestion can cause fainting, fever and vomiting. Alma dried the poisonous mushrooms, ground them into powder, and secretly added them to the teapot. Sure enough, after unknowingly drinking the poisonous tea soup, Lei suddenly fainted at work, hit the floor heavily, and fell into a coma with a high fever. So instead of being seriously ill, Lei gained a rare relaxation and calmness. He used to be domineering, but now he has become a boy who needs to be taken care of. He is soft and sincere, and his heart begins to open. Unexpected but reasonable, Ray begins to enjoy the fragility of being sick, and he curses the doctor to get out of the room. In such a state, Ray found a way to get along with Alma, let go of his stubbornness and vigilance, and he needed and accepted Alma's meticulous care. Likewise, Alma then felt that Ray had become flesh and blood, open to each other, and to each other. When Ray regains his health, he realizes that life is short and that the ridiculous past has gone wrong again and again, and it's time for a change. At the beginning, he believed in loneliness, and he formally proposed to Alma, held a grand wedding, and walked into the marriage hall. Lei, who does not eat the fireworks of the world, walks down the altar of the highest, to the ordinary and real world, and has children with Alma, and the love is endless. There are many love words in the world, and Alma said to Ray, "I want you to lie in the hospital bed, looking weak and helpless, waiting for me to take good care of you, and then I will make you healthy and strong again. You will die, but you need to rest for a while." Ray ate the poisonous mushroom, looked at Alma with a contented smile, and said, "Kiss me before I fall ill, my love." Persistent and alert, he needed and received Alma's meticulous care. Likewise, Alma then felt that Ray had become flesh and blood, open to each other, and to each other.

The problems encountered by the protagonists in the movie are not far from us.
After falling in love at first sight, how to face the huge difference in habits and backgrounds? In love, is it to remain detached or completely possessive? After a big fight, decide to separate or find a way out together? Should we insist on being ourselves together, or compromise for love? The film exaggerates the contradiction with artistic techniques, and the director finally gave his answer-the difference between the two people is not terrible, love is like a ghost, many people talk about it, but few people have encountered it. When you believe that what is in front of you is love, hold on firmly. Love cannot be a game, only trust, and then slowly understand. There is no way for two wise people to fall in love. To fall in love is to hand over the power of hurting oneself to the lover without reservation. Just as Alma said at the first meeting, "No matter what you do to me, be careful." Feng Jicai wrote at the end of "Pearl Bird" that "trust often creates a beautiful state." Isn't that the case with love? Because of love, the previous order and rhythm of life can be overturned and rebuilt, so as the years go by, I understand your affection more and more, accept your past, tolerate your present, and in the future, we will become A person will never be separated again. Loving someone is like suddenly having armor and weakness. Use armor to resist the impermanence of the world and the invasion of evil spirits; use the soft underbelly to feel the tenderness of you and me that life has never had before. "Phantom Thread" interprets love vividly with a slightly morbid interpretation. My love, even if it is the poison you concocted by yourself, I will drink it with pleasure.
