revenge story

After the fictional mother and son were murdered and their bodies were found, a beautiful naked back on the red sofa in the wilderness belonged to the daughter. Immediately next, the real mother called her daughter, and there was also a beautiful naked back on a red mat, also her daughter. The hair is the same color. A cross necklace pendant sticks prominently to the mother's face as the sheriff examines the fictitious mother's body. The camera immediately turns to the actual mother (the actors of the two mothers are very similar), who has been stroking the pendant of the necklace. This pendant in reality does not have an explanation until the end of the film, which is exactly a cross. Before and after this account is the scene of the fictional father's death. The real mother is actually the fictional father, and both deeply regret their weakness for losing the one they loved. The real mother lives a glorious life, and it seems that getting rid of her ex-husband is the right choice, but there is no happiness at all, and the existing material life cannot let her out of regret; the fictional father has shaved his beard and seems to be gradually coming out of the shadows, But that roar showed that he didn't care about revenge at all, and revenge couldn't get him out of remorse. "I should have stopped this long ago" and "I should have protected them long ago", this is actually the voice of a real mother.

The heroine and her ex-husband met by chance in New York. A dialogue during dinner, "You will definitely be a great novelist in the future, because in your mind you have created..." "No", "Yes", "No", " Yes", "No, I don't believe it". The ex-husband not only interrupted the heroine's words, but also firmly defended his point of view. Next, the heroine hesitated, and the close-up expression was clearly expressing surprise. The ex-husband changed the subject, and the heroine was still staring at her ex-husband in surprise. The heroine was amazed at the firmness of her ex-husband, which was completely different from the weak he in her mind. When the two met, the heroine said that she missed the Texas gentleman; when she sat down for a happy gathering, she was shocked to find that the opposite was no longer a "Texas gentleman". The ex-husband always downplayed the conversation between the two. The heroine couldn't help but propose to have a good night with her ex-husband, but what she got was noncommittal. In the next scene of the heroine and mother, the heroine mentioned that her ex-husband is firm, much firmer than her, which has paved the way for the heroine's empty wait at the end of the film. He can come out and he won't look back. It's her who wants to turn back, and it's her who can't get out. Although she kept saying that he was weak, it was actually her who was weak. The important thing is that it was also her who fell into remorse.

The revenge of that big feature is the story the film tells, whether fiction or reality.
