It's a real "love-hate relationship"

The three-hour film is long, and as soon as I watched the reversal of disk A, I knew that this film is not just a simple lily film. Totally exceeded expectations after going through an entire full story, and 100 points is not an exaggeration for that.

There are many parts that exceed expectations perfectly. First of all, the whole story is a process from novel to classic. Various reversals and foreshadowings are recovered. I haven’t read the original book, but I believe that all the important cuts have been shown on the screen. , on top of the story with no pee points in the whole process, it makes people feel at the end. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a work of the 19th century (the traitor is dead, and the protagonist has returned to a happy life, it is too "classic")

In other parts of the film, actors' online acting skills, scene scheduling (sexy but not porn sex scenes ❤️), and detail handling (full score for the soundtrack) are the icing on the cake for the presentation of the story. These things can support the film's reputation, but for me, The happy ending at the end makes the presentation of the whole film (especially the manor love and deception of A part) discounted.

Once again, I am not a party to the original work. The biggest challenge of literary adaptation is to restore a large number of details and psychological descriptions of the original work. The expressive ability of the screen is always limited. Maybe the answers I am looking for are in the original work, but for now, I still doubt that the final Whether the handling is abrupt.

Of course, it can be said that the love between the two protagonists is always stronger than that of Jin Jian, and the love of Susan and Maud is what remains in the end. The love between them is burning little by little (this is why I like the "bad woman" Maud so much, the one who ignites the lust is the old Siji who pretends to be innocent?)

But is the love between the two pure from beginning to end? Maybe not, Susan didn't choose to tell the truth, because she didn't want to disappoint Aunt Sa; Maud seemed to despair of this relationship from the beginning because of misunderstanding-Susan's restraint and hesitation in this relationship made her sure of Susan The love is a scam, which is why Maud was able to be free in the A part. Their feelings were "love-hate" from the very beginning (how to not let a story be mediocre, maybe this way of dealing with feelings is worth learning from), Maud grew up to The big tragic (mentally) encounter allows her to let hate triumph over love - it is true that she regrets it very much in the B part, and her desire to save Susan is sincere, there is no doubt about it, but Susan wants to kill the resentment of Maud who betrayed her There is no doubt that even if they know the truth of their final life experience, their love and hate will not change because of the truth, and even later, the time for the two to clarify all misunderstandings and the truth is only 10 minutes.

Of course, it doesn't mean that two people should take their misunderstandings to the grave. Susan has always been a kind-hearted, really pure girl (compared to the more calculating Maud). After knowing the truth, Susan can let go of the calculations before. All the calculations are gentlemen, mainly because The mastermind, Aunt Sa, deceived two people, and the two of them can indeed be said to be hard-working couples (?), but even so, is it really the best choice to find Maud and hold her in his arms?

The relationship between two people does not have to be reunited to make sense. You gave me all the love and hate I felt. This is enough to make me unforgettable in my life. In the end, I only remember the tenderness of the two of them. Maud can write the story of the two into an erotic novel, talking about how he wants Susan, and Susan can continue a new life with this former feeling, maybe she can meet Maud again one day, through her Creation, although she can't read big characters, but I believe this feeling can also be conveyed, maybe (but it must be a regrettable Ending in the end, it may be personal taste).

There is a kind of "love-hate intertwined" that can make people watch for a lifetime.
