Fortunately, I watched "Miss" first.

The "Miss" I watched first, because the film "Miss" is too brilliant, and with its support, "Fingerman's Love" really can't be said to be good-looking. Although "Miss" and "Fingersmith's Love" are two stories, adaptations of the same novel. However, because the first half of the plot of "Fingersmith" is already known, there is nothing surprising, and with the comparison of "Miss", it appears to be even more mediocre, and it feels very watery everywhere, not as full as "Miss". The feeling of frame foreshadowing.

Many of "Fingerman's Love" are not as detailed as "Miss". The colors of the costumes and the structure of the environment are too ordinary. The only thing that stands out is the lady's acting skills. In the first half of the part, you can realize that something may be wrong based on the lady's expression. Facing Susan's expression There are questions. At the end of the second half, she can see desire in her eyes, and she believes that her love for Susan is real.

And there is a detail that the "gentleman" caught the young lady sleeping with Susan and the young lady was fascinated by Susan, but this foreshadowing seems to be of no use, just to show that this cannon fodder is a little gentleman? As for the emotional entanglement between Miss and Susan concealing each other, I did not feel that their entanglement was only based on psychological narration and some actions. The foreshadowing was not enough. Even the "gentleman" gave Susan a coin to let Susan go out. Susan's refusal was a little abrupt.

Let the "gentleman" be the layout of this superficial villain, and Susan and the lady leave some extraneous goodwill? If that old lady had started planning since Susan was very young, and she had never been soft-hearted since she was a child, she would regret it later because she met Susan... willing to sacrifice herself... it was too speechless. It's really far from "Miss".

In the first half, Susan did not choose to confess to the young lady, so why did the young lady feel sorry for Susan after she sent Susan in, and her character is not the Virgin Mary. Susan was sent to a lunatic asylum. She used seeing the old lady and killing the young lady as her motivation to live, and she wanted to kill Susan after the death of the "gentleman", but she forgave the young lady because she knew the truth?

The hatred Susan showed when she was tested in the mental hospital made people expect her to be pretentious after she went out, but she held it high and put it down gently, which was boring.

The "gentleman" looked at the young lady with affection and drama in his eyes, and this line was too simple to handle, indifferent...

Not to mention that the betrayal of each other is true, since all the villains are wicked, this is too unscrupulous. And since the property was divided into two halves, why did the young lady write a small yellow text because of lack of money and leave the money to Susan? The plot is not shown, and it is made up by the viewer's brain hole?

No matter how there are too many loopholes, the only thing to watch is the change in the young lady's eyes, but that's not very surprising. All the characterizations are not very full, probably because I'm obsessed with plot and beauty, and this show may be more meaningful in other ways, and I don't appreciate it.

With "Miss" jewels in front, "Fingersmith Love Picking" will be tasteless. The only thing that caused me to think deeply was an old question "When people around you framed you as being ill, so you were put in a lunatic asylum, how can you prove that you are a normal person as a normal person in the lunatic asylum?" Just like a movie, after watching a color movie, as an ordinary person watching a mime, you will always feel that there is something wrong.

But then again, even if I haven't watched "Miss", I watched "Fingersmith's Love" first, and it will not be as shocking as "Miss". Fortunately, "Miss", which I watched first, completely followed the director, making the feast of the senses perfect.

After reading this, I wonder if I should read the original novel...
