The story begins in this nightclub called "Moulin Rouge", and the camera is filled with gorgeous colors - chaotic, overlapping, and a flashy world comes alive in front of our eyes. The gorgeous lights and the rhythm of carnival receded quietly with the appearance of the heroine. She wore a flashing white dress and appeared in the blue and white light, which was refreshing and bright, and at the same time she was far away from people. It can be said that from the beginning until the middle of the film - when Sha Ting was diagnosed with a critical illness, she deliberately returned to the panoramic view of Paris at the beginning in order to remind the audience to change their minds - as relaxed as "Singing in the Rain". Funny atmosphere. The lively dance, the fast-paced singing, and the bright and vibrant colors are all paving the way for the next scene. Sha Ting finally walked to the Duke's side. In an instant, the dance became repressed, as if holding back sorrow and jealousy. The singing also began to be melodious and mixed with sadness. The color was either icy blue or ruthless black, just like Sha Ting's heart at the moment.
A group of people who advocate hedonism are poor people. They pursue freedom and truth; they want to ignore the constraints of reality and let go of the heaviness of life; Like the elephant, stand there firmly, and let Sha Ting be imprisoned in its body willingly. The real hedonist advocates not being happy in time, but to be happy for a longer period of time. Sha Ting lives in this hedonistic country. She is not only well-dressed, but also sought after by others, but she is not happy, even if she was happy at the time, what happens after the crowd disperses? She does not have the feeling of happiness that comes from within, only that happiness is lasting, it comes from your heart, it is with your soul. So when the fierce and gentle love came, Sha Ting forgot her previous self, indulged her heart, and only knew to pursue the happiness from the soul, which was the desire for freedom. There is also a reason why the director arranged for them to step on the back of the elephant and express their sincerity to each other. Under the constraints of realistic pressure (that is, in the belly of the elephant), Sha Ting could not let go of herself.
Finally, I want to mention that this ending is very good. Neither of these two men got Sha Ting, because neither of them deserved it.
