The exquisite clothes and setting make people dream and sink into it.

The film began to make Alicia's drowsy language courses, and the daily prayers that they must perform, all reflect their lack of passion and excitement, forgetting, and even the mental numbness that they have not experienced.

During the American Civil War, they had to bend themselves in a small house, which strengthened their sense of isolation from the outside world. The arrival of McBurney created a delicate relationship between the women and the northern army corporal.

The light shines through the white curtains and through this window, but the dark, spacious rooms only shine in the window frames; the spring rippling heart does not radiate love. The room was too dark. The light couldn't see the scene in the room. It could only turn into a hazy appearance, a formal and charming appearance in McBurney's eyes.

When the gun in the hands of the corporal who had fascinated them sounded, they finally awoke from the unrealistic spring dream; the white light completely disappeared, and the sunset fell, and they lit candles at the dining table, inviting the corporal Have a meal together. In McBurney's eyes, these candlelights are very beautiful. But he didn't notice their caution and danger: they are desires, and these fire lights can hurt people no matter how beautiful they are. The corporal was slowly swallowed by the candlelight, and the desire eventually led to emptiness, which was predictable.

    Like the composition of primary school students, the mentally handicapped is funny. One more star for photography

    In addition to the beauty of natural light photography, the quality of the film is really uncomplimentable. In addition to the old-fashioned theme, the story design is also sloppy and vain. It is not so much a film as it is to express an attitude of challenging male power, and it is only after a famous family like Coppola has the capital to make such a film.
