The film tells the story of a woman who fell in love with her husband's nephew after marrying him and found that he refused to mention it and was abused.

At the end of the story, a woman gave birth to a child for her husband's nephew. As we expected, this tragic film, starring Gong Li on a large scale, which reflects the fate and the reincarnation of human nature, still makes us shout that we are far ahead.

The most tragic role in this movie is Gong Li's chrysanthemum.

Her misfortune, from the beginning to the end of the play.

In that very feudal and even cruel social environment at that time, Ju Dou was definitely the one who tried to break free from the bondage of fate.

Her strength is very weak, so she made clear her tragic ending. Her struggle really proves that she has a yearning for freedom.

But she was so sad. Because of a woman's identity, it is too difficult for her to change her fate on her own, so she chose assimilation and sinking.

Her husband, Yang Tianshan, is a violent man. Her previous wives were all killed by her, and Ju Dou was the poor third to be bought.

Sure enough, she was beaten up by her husband that night, but she was fine and not killed.

Later, when wiping the wound in the water room, Azure saw the whole grooming process.

Yang Tianshan and Yang Tianqing are nominal uncles. In this way, Ju Dou should be her aunt.

The difference between Yang Tianqing and Yang Tianshan is that he is in the prime of life and will naturally think about it after seeing such a scene.

After a long time, Ju Dou discovered Azure's behavior. Strangely, she was only briefly surprised, and then she silently allowed Azure to do so.

Let her choose this approach, perhaps because of Tianshan's inaction and beatings, so that she is likely to ruin her life, her misery, so that she had to find another way out.

Azure's approach prompted her.

After that, the long-term past relationship made Ju Dou pregnant with a blue child, which was a heavy and heartfelt blow to Tianshan Mountain.

In a rage, Tianshan was paralyzed and reduced to being served by Ju Dou and Azure.

Maybe revenge. They didn't get rid of Tianshan Mountain, but treated him well and humiliated Tianshan Mountain with their sweet daily life.

The child was born as Tian Bai, and he couldn't speak until he was three years old. I didn't expect to meet Yang Jinshan for the first time, so I began to call my father.

This absurdity makes the role cast a terrible atmosphere on the whole movie.

He was tortured by the abnormal Yang Tianshan, but he didn't think about it. He accidentally fell into the pool and drowned.

Azure was not spared, and Tian Bai grew up, knowing that his father was having an affair with his aunt, and pushed Azure into the pool, and both of them ended up the same.

At the end of the story, Ju Dou also decided to burn down the house, which is the ending.

This story was too advanced at that time, and Zhang Yimou's films have really been following such a realistic route.

His films are so realistic that we can't see hope and future.

But the injustice of fate and people's ideal psychology of pursuing hope may be the reasons why Gong Li chose this role.

Ju Dou was a warrior in feudal society. Although her desires and ideals could be called "idleness" in that society, they reflected her inner pity.

The tragedy of breaking beautiful things for people to see dug up the feudal dark side of China society at that time.

The greatest significance of this film is that it silently crusades against the shackles of feudal ethics.

And Zhang Yimou's technique is perfect.
