The twilight of the beauties

The title is not relevant to the content, but it is a real sigh during my viewing of the movie, and I can't help but sigh at the two protagonists. The camera, soundtrack, and editing create a horrifying atmosphere, which is essentially a tragic drama.

I have read a sentence called "Parents are a curse." It may be a bit absolute, but unqualified parents can really ruin a child's life. This is the case with the parents of the two heroines in the movie. The father is a profit-seeking villain who treats his daughter as a tool for making money. He is stubborn at the useful jane, but rants and reprimands the useless blanche; the mother is weak in character, and treats his father. Acts disapprovingly, but dare not resist. Such parents cultivated Jane's arrogant and self-willed character, and made Blanche sensitive and jealous, which became the source of their tragedy in life.

Time has passed and Jane's acting career has not developed smoothly when he grows up, but blanche has gradually become popular. But my childhood is vivid, and my personality does not change easily with the situation. In a dinner party, Jane teased her sister, perhaps because she was jealous of her sister to vent her resentment for the unsuccessful career? Maybe it's just a joke after drinking? In any case, Blanche's sensitivity and the grievances and grievances brought to her by her father and sister during her childhood made her decide to drive into her sister.

The elderly Jane wore uncomfortable heavy make-up and wore clothes that were out of age. It looked a little scary, but in reality it was very pitiful. Maybe her childhood dream was so beautiful that she didn’t want to wake up and grow up. When she saw her elderly in the mirror, she would scream and cry. When she put a mouse on her sister’s dinner plate, she would Close the door and laugh out loud, in her opinion this is just a naughty prank. There is too much missing in her life. If it weren't for her father to use her childhood to make money, maybe those toys and pranks would only be tricks that she got bored with in childhood. She would grow up like other people, instead of chatting with dolls at this age. If it weren’t for the accident, she might continue to be a third-rate celebrity, and she might meet a man who got married and had children, might get divorced, but she would never be right. The fat man who was much younger than himself was shocked. She has always been more aura than her sister, can imitate her sister's voice, can see through her sister's lies, and can easily deceive many people. She just hasn't been able to adapt to the world when she grows up.

Blanche, who seems gentle and dignified, is the most creepy person. She has spent almost her entire life trying to hurt and use her sister. Not only did he exert resistance in his career, he even became murderous after being ridiculed. What's more terrifying is that after hurting himself by accident and breaking two legs, he must try to climb out of the car, pretending to be the victim, and let him drink. The younger sister who knows nothing about it bears the blame. After that, she used lies to torture her sister and made her feel guilty about taking care of herself. The piercing call bell was like a curse, restraining Jane for the rest of his life.

After appealing the truth on the beach, Jane said innocently, "We could have been friends." So I bought two ice creams, and finally danced like an innocent angel surrounded by the crowd. If Blanche could see the scene at this moment, I wonder if he would think of the little angel on the stage of childhood. He also wanted to buy an ice cream for her and become good friends with her?
