A melodious song echoes on the hills

As a business lover, this musical is better in music and songs, such as the soundtrack at the end, and the lyrics in the play; it is better in art design: the combination of bright colors and mourning tones shows this sensual grandeur The country of pleasure and the tragic ending of a love story. In addition, the makeup of the heroine in the play is really very beautiful, and every dress is very beautiful.

I noticed a detail. The heroine has a lyric in the front part of "living in the dark, fearing the dawn". After the two met in the play, there was indeed no light. The whole scene was arranged like a magical, terrifying and tragic fairy tale. The overall impression is grandiose, magnificent, fairy tale.

In terms of plot, I think it is a common plot, the discussion of love: Can people at the bottom (such as lowly prostitutes) have love? How to choose between love and bread? I don't want to answer these questions directly, and I can't do a deep discussion for the time being. Recently, I was watching Beauvoir's "Second Sex", which said that prostitutes are the lowest level of women. Actresses and female stars seem to be independent, but in fact they are still subject to men, those rich people. The freedom gained by selling one's body is not freedom, but a shackle that cannot be shaken off. Tights, make-up, smiles are all about pleasing others, and carnal desire excludes love. But the film's expression of love triumphs over exploitation, and while the outcome is not happy, at least optimistic.

How should I put it, the dazzling handling of the mirror movement of the Red Devils in the title part, and the makeup and music in the back are all ok. The overall feeling is good, and it helps to imagine the life of the upper-class drunken fans. That kind of gorgeous magic is really as fascinating and confusing as a fairy tale to ordinary people.

(The title has nothing to do with the content, just like that sentence)

Appendix: (Lyrics of the male protagonist's first expression of his heart)

My inner feelings I'm not good at hiding I don't have much money If I were rich I'd buy a mansion and spend my life with you If I were a sculptor but I'm not or a bum I don't have much but I've done my best My gift for you is my song This song is for you You can tell everyone it's your song It's simple but I'm done I hope you don't mind Don't mind because you live in this world so it's beautiful I sit on the roof and start for You write some lines and I rack my brains but when I write this song the sunshine is so warm that people like you bring this song to life please forgive my forgetting I sometimes forget I have forgotten whether your eyes are green or blue But anyway the most important thing is that I want to say that your eyes are the most beautiful I have ever seen
