The love between women should be like this, subtle and passionate, hazy but wild. Two young girls who are not familiar with love are in love with each other in the day and night. It doesn't matter who is tempted first. All thoughts are hidden under the delicate and beautiful skirt.
They slept together, kissed, possessed each other. Everything is so natural. At that time, Maud in Su's eyes was still a noble and innocent little rabbit. The closer he was to her, the stronger Su's guilt became. Conscience and uncertain emotions make Su sway in the torment, and in the end, selfishness prevails. The lure of money and the fear of being arrested make her insist on pushing Love and Maud into the abyss.
But it would be too ordinary if it were just that, and when I thought Sue was going to save Maud after she was locked up, the story gave us a wonderful twist that caught us off guard.
And then there's Maud's story.
After reading the film reviews of other friends, I know that this method of multi-perspective narration is called repeated narration. Each narrative in the story overturns the truth of the previous narrative, giving us endless amazement.
"Oh my poor lady." The innocent princess instantly took off her disguise and turned into the coldest witch. Only in the panic and struggle did Su realize that she was the fool in the center of the bureau.
God, I was cheated too, I thought to myself. How can you disguise yourself so well, oh Maud, you scheming bitch.
But what about her motives?
The scenes are still those scenes, the characters are still those characters, but what is presented to us is already a completely different side of the event.
Maud's voice alone is not very special, and there is no sense of ups and downs, but as she slowly narrates her story, her voice is trembling and frightening.
If it is said that whoever bends more sharply, I think it should be Maud.
What should have been the happiest and most innocent childhood was eroded by the poison of my uncle.
Every word, every sentence, every stroke and every painting. She was exposed to the filthiest and most disgusting lust.
Beneath the pearl lace are those beautiful and delicate hands, which mechanically transcribe and work with the most beautiful flowers.
What about the soul of its owner?
I can't imagine that some women who go through this can still fall in love with a man normally as an adult. For more than ten years, when she was young, she constantly accepted the struggle of male power. Those obscene male bodies, her uncle's endless restrictions on her.
So her world was never pure. Everything is an appearance.
The appearance of Su was a kind of rescue for her. Although Su came with deceit, her innocence and cleanliness as a woman had unknowingly bridged the gap in Maud's heart.
And for Susan, her sexuality can only be said to be bent.
She lived in the poorest neighborhood since she was a child, and all she came into contact with were vulgar people. But dirty people also have the advantages of dirty people, they are straightforward and unrestrained, and their desire to want something is not hidden. Unlike the so-called high-class people, they are benevolent and moral on the surface, but secretly men steal and prostitutes. This kind of living environment created Su's character, and she was born with a more optimistic personality. Although she was a thief, it did not make her gloomy.
Susan was very happy and moved when Maud put her best clothes and jewelry on Su. In the days before the lie was exposed, Susan lived a life like a rich lady. Maud gave her not only material things, but also fulfilled her dream of grace and beauty as a teenage girl. It's a life that can never be touched in the poorer parts of London. Maud's delicate and moving, for the first time Su felt the gentle aura that attracted her to care, contrary to the vulgar and vulgar in the market.
So although the two deceive each other and use each other, it has to be said that they are also healing each other to some extent.
When it comes to his attitude towards love, Maud seems to be more proactive than Susan. It may be that I have been suppressed for too long, and when I meet someone I like, I really can't hold it back. Of course, it is also because Maud is very sure about his sexuality, while Susan is not too sure about and facing same-sex love.
Both have developed feelings for each other, but love does not make them noble enough to give up what they want most and stop framing each other. The human nature depicted here is real and cruel. I think if it was me, even if I struggled with guilt, I would most likely choose to deceive.
The so-called ring-in-the-ring, counting within counting.
The story reversed again about two-thirds of the time. The reappearance of Aunt Saxby has turned the whole incident upside down. It turns out that the two girls have been counted. Their love and hate, their struggles, everything is just a move of the old woman in front of her.
At first, looking at Mrs. Saxby's contorted face with laughter made me nauseous. But it wasn't until the gentleman dragged Maud to the rotten wooden door and shouted "poor" as he looked at the filthy, muddy streets that I could get a little bit of relief. Many commented that the second half of the story turned into Dickensian realism. Yes, if the depth of the first half is limited to the entanglement of two women about love and humanity, then the second half has already placed the protagonists in the context of Victorian society. The noble lady had to live in the slums of London because she was unmarried and pregnant, in order to give birth to a daughter who was absolutely not allowed by the family's reputation; the people at the bottom agreed to the noble lady's request to exchange daughters because of their poverty, in order to share the daughter's daughter when she became an adult. A great fortune. In such a society full of alienation and darkness, the original things of human nature are suppressed and buried. Therefore, Susan's biological mother will be sent to a mental hospital by her father when she is conscious and clear, and Aunt Saxby can bear to send her daughter who has been raising her for 20 years to a mental hospital.
We can't help but face our filth, because it's half of our soul that we can't get rid of.
But luckily, the other half of us still has flashes.
Everyone in the story, who has committed evil deeds, has received retribution to a certain extent, and they have also expressed repentance to a certain extent.
At the end of the story, Su returns to the manor to find Maud, and the filthy library is now filled with sunshine and breeze.
After a moment of hesitation, the girl's skirt firmly crossed the sign of imprisoned freedom on the floor.
The Pearl Gloves don't need to exist either.
Let all deceit and betrayal become a thing of the past.
Now, all I want is you, and I just want to love you.
And tomorrow will be a new tomorrow.
