She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

After an overhead shot showing the entire environment, the film returns to the location at the beginning: the restaurant where Charlotte works.

Hal took the initiative to find the restaurant manager, trying to investigate Charlotte's life experience in depth, but he didn't expect that the arrival of the police attracted strange looks from other customers in the restaurant.

What follows is another cross-montage, which quickly and frequently cuts together two plot lines taking place at the same time in different places.

At Evelyn's pleading, Charlotte had to pick up the handsome guy DJ, and the three of them set out on a journey to Oklahoma amid a discordant discussion; on the other hand, after Detective Hal visited Evelyn's home, he planned to talk to Max, a representative of the FBI.

The first thing Charlotte did when she arrived in Oklahoma was to get the money, but she didn't expect to reunite with her boyfriend Jimmy here.

Surprise was only a momentary emotion, and Charlotte quickly remembered the fact that she was on the run and might be facing a federal arrest warrant.

Her overjoyed look suddenly turned sad.

This reunion scene was shot using a telephoto lens. Charlotte's facial expressions and eye fluctuations were captured clearly in close-up shots. Her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, could easily draw the audience's sympathy.

"God... Although her appearance is not very good, she does look like a real cowboy." Pauline Kael held up her chin and looked at the black-haired woman sitting freely on the screen with admiration, "She is cool, uninhibited, tenacious and full of vitality..."

Even if she looked at the story with the most critical eyes, she couldn't help but be shocked by the cultural appeal and subversive power of the film itself - the moment when the female character occupied the center of the screen of a "gangster movie" and completely replaced the male character.

“Evelyn, I didn’t invite him here. After all, he’s just like any other man, except that he likes to chase me.”

In the close-up shot, Charlotte raised the corner of her lips and said some cold words with a calm expression.

Evelyn sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her blankly, as if she didn’t understand what was wrong with a “perfect boyfriend” like Jimmy.

The shooting screen of this scene is slightly tilted, which not only enhances the expansiveness of the entire shot, but also reflects the master-slave relationship between the two at the moment.

From the beginning of the movie till now, Charlotte has always been the dominant figure between the two.

This master-servant relationship lasted until the climax of the story - the incident of losing money.

"Where is he now?" Charlotte took a bite of her sandwich with a slight smile on her lips, obviously immersed in the rare relaxing morning time.

"He's taking a shower."

After a night of lovemaking with DJ, Evelyn smiled shyly.

The smile on Charlotte's face disappeared in an instant. "You left him alone in the room?"

"Where's the money? Where's the money?"

Without waiting for her girlfriend's response, she frowned, threw down the sandwich, stood up immediately, and ran upstairs in two steps.

"The money is in the bedside table. It's okay, Charlotte..."

Evelin trotted after her, no longer in the mood to continue enjoying breakfast.

"Bang", the door of the room opened, and the hot and bright sunlight slanted down, illuminating the entire room in an instant.

There was only an empty paper bag left on the bedside table.

The money and the man who was supposed to be taking a shower disappeared without a trace.

Charlotte clenched the paper bag in both hands and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. She took a deep breath and hugged herself tiredly.

"Damn it, I'm never lucky, never lucky!"

"That bastard actually dared to lie to me, I simply can't believe it..."

Evelyn paced the room like a tigress, howling at the top of her lungs and smashing a lot of things.

After venting her emotions, she noticed her girlfriend who had remained silent in the room.

"Charlotte, what's wrong with you? This is all my fault." Evelin carefully sat down opposite her, "I'm sorry, I really mean it."

Charlotte didn't respond, still shielding her face with her hands.

Evelin touched the tip of her nose guiltily, and mustered up the courage to comfort her: “Charlotte, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

The scene changes to a profile shot again.

The sunlight passed between the two of them, casting beautiful, detailed shadows on the ground.

Charlotte put down her hand, raised her chin slightly, and there were a few tear marks on the side of her face.

"It's okay? No, Evelyn, it's not okay." She had tears in her eyes and her profile was illuminated by the light, so bright that even a crystal teardrop hanging on her long eyelashes was clearly visible.

He pulled the corners of his mouth tightly, and his eyes suddenly showed a complicated feeling.

"How can it be okay?"

"Where do we get the money?"

"How do I buy gasoline? Do I have to sell my body?"

Another tear fell.

The woman who was originally extremely unrestrained with her black hair and red lips now revealed a childlike fragile expression.

She had just received this money from Jimmy, which was almost half of her life savings.

“Listen to me, Charlotte, everything will be fine.” Evelin pursed her lips in forced calmness and reached out to hold her girlfriend’s shoulders, “Don’t worry, Charlotte, stand up first, okay?”

She seemed to have made up her mind. Holding the luggage in one hand and holding Charlotte's hand tightly with the other, the two of them stumbled out of the room.

In an instant, the master-slave relationship that spans half of the film is reversed.

Although he had anticipated the novelty of the film, Kyle couldn't help but swear when he saw Evelyn robbing a supermarket with a gun. Just like the group of policemen watching the video in the movie, the entire theater was completely silent at this moment.

Of course, they anticipated that Evelyn would have a character change in the later period, but they did not expect that Li Shuo would actually dare to set up such a bold plot.

Look at how she was wearing sunglasses and aiming a gun at everyone, she looked like a real bandit!

The two heroines have more unconventional styles than each other.

In Kyle's opinion, this plot is not only a reversal of the relationship between the two, but also a reversal of the theme of mainstream road movies!

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

Evelyn's "alternative" rebellious spirit was born out of her husband's oppression and began in a tough patriarchal society.

Of course her behavior was illegal, otherwise the director would not have presented the robbery scene through the media of the police station, but this does not mean that her ideas would not be recognized.

At least at this moment, her husband, who colluded with the police and intended to set a trap for them, was the more hateful one in the eyes of the audience.
