a pussy

On the flat-like face, on the right side, there is a scorpion, a brown scorpion. This is enough to make people hate her, not to mention that self-righteous serious expression. If this irritating scorpion grows on an old man's face, no one will care about it, or even pay attention - as the female writer does in the end credits - because it has been buried in the jungle of age spots and disappeared. . However, it appeared extremely inappropriately on the face of a 13-year-old girl. Her startled and pretended nervous expression further accentuates the disgusting nature of the scorpion. Stubborn, stiff, and nonchalantly, it squatted under its right eye, like a fly stinging on a freshly fermented loaf of bread. People can't help but want to reach out and dig it out - just like she wants to uproot the lies she once fabricated all her life. There are countless girls in the world who can play this role, why did the director have to choose this girl with a scorpion? He will not ignore the existence of this scorpion, because it expresses a more unshakable emotion in front of the camera than the story-the kind of emotions entangled with jealousy, hatred, disgust, delusion, guilt and remorse.

This girl with a scorpion has lived in her own world since she was a child. Illusions, lies, fabrications, speculations, but also literary, fiery, paranoid, and rich. In that world, her magic was invincible and invisible. However, in the real world, she can only be frustrated and ridiculed by the truth in front of her time and time again. In her own story, she can love and be loved to the fullest, but in the complicated reality, she can only be scolded and despised by the person she loves. She is so unassuming, yet so talented. In the noble big castle, the sister in the green dress is a graceful princess, but in the plot typed out by the typewriter, she is the all-knowing and omnipotent queen.

In the sensitive years of her youth, she must have tried to dig out that deadly scorpion more than once in front of the mirror, but in the end, she protected its existence with decisive narcissism, and cruelly cut others with the dignity of self-injury. of love. However, she was really too young at that time, and she only cared about hatred and ambition, but she never thought that the lies she told herself would become a ruffian in her life - even if she hated it, she would never give up. For this reason, she gave up her studies in Oxford, took care of a group of defeated soldiers, and made a name for herself by writing, but she only let out the suffocation in her chest when she was old. The lie that was in her heart and could never be redeemed—that scorpion, that tumor—was the pain and regret, and the driving force of her life. A stain ruined her life, but also made her life. A rascal smeared her face, but cleansed her soul.
