A temperamental movie

Strangely good-looking, it fully shows how important a director's good taste in many artistic fields is to create the overall temperament of the film.

Although the movie adopts the form of a play within a play, the story is not complicated, and the male protagonist is weak from beginning to end: since the female protagonist resolutely left back then, why bother begging for love or not? Nineteen years later, it is necessary to use a novel to express many ambiguous purposes, such as revenge or accusation, why bother? Isn't it still a sign of weakness and not letting go?

It is also a normal choice to say that the heroine left in those years. After all, the family nurtures from childhood to adulthood are left there, but the unsatisfactory life in middle age has made her weak. People, especially women, are actually the most taboo. Later I will think: what if it wasn't like that back then. Once a person has such thoughts and is immersed in them from time to time, they start to become weak, especially the behavior of contacting the male protagonist like the heroine, which is a sadness that is neither salty nor light.

Domestic directors should learn how to use good taste and good actors to tell a less complicated story into a suspenseful sentimental film with restraint throughout, instead of blindly admiring Quentin Nolan, despite the films they made. I like it too.
