When the rich businessman Louis, the last time he believed Bonny, drank the poisoned coffee Bonnie gave her and poured it on the street. Although Bonnie also shot her accomplice and lover Billy's life, she herself was imprisoned and faced capital punishment.
Love and the beloved, after a series of entanglements, still have not solved the redemption that the director wants to show. This is a typical duel between the body and the soul, no matter how beautiful the skin, no matter how harmonious sex, no matter how persistent the salvation, it is difficult to change the pain without a soul, but it is precisely the delusion of the deceiver.
Coffee tycoon Louis, needs a wife, a social function that can give him the beauty of women and the bearing of children. He also got the beautiful, sexy Julia (who later turned out to be the beautiful bride Bonnie pretended), and this beautiful bride also gave him the beauty and sexiness he wanted, because of the beauty and sexiness, Louis also fell in love with her bride.
When Julia swept away his money and disappeared like a mystery, after experiencing decadence and hatred, he was deceived by Bonnie's accomplice Detective Bill and set out to find Julia together.
When he meets Julia again and learns that Julia is actually Bonnie, not his bride Julia, he is resolutely attracted by Bonnie's beauty, resolutely falls into the second trap designed for him by Bonnie and Bill, and falls into the fear of becoming a murderer himself.
After that, he fell into a series of traps set by Bonny one after another, because of his love for Bonnie and his trust in Bonnie, he himself fell into poverty and displacement, but he resolutely did not give up his love for Bonnie until he drank the poisoned coffee carefully prepared for him by Bonnie, and he still insisted on loving Bonnie.
In the name of sex, cheating money is Bonnie's profession and Bonnie's destiny. And Bill, as her father, her husband and her accomplices, also continues to control and decide Bonnie's fate in the name of love.
In the name of love, Bonnie continues to control Louis because he wants to cheat Louis out of his money, and Louis is willing to be controlled by Bonnie, mainly beautiful and sexy. Bonny, on the other hand, is willing to be controlled by Bill, but it is entirely for emotions and for the ideal life.
This story of loving and being loved, controlling and being controlled, although it is also a typical logic of a love triangle, she allows us to see the cruel reality and cruel logic of love and being loved. Although the film ends and the director makes the liar Bonnie fall in love with the deceived Luis, the reality of Louis's willingness to be deceived is also thought-provoking.
Despite this love triangle, Bill died in Bonnie's last fatal shot, Louis died in the last poisoned coffee Bonny gave him, and Bonny escaped the law with the help of the priest.
What will happen to Bonnie, who was rescued from the death penalty by a priest? She also continues to exist in this world with her beautiful skin, skillful sex and quite real deception, and will there be a rich businessman similar to Louis who continues to be deceived
I can't understand why Louis fell into such a series of deception, and couldn't extricate himself, is it because of a man's desire for a woman? Is it because of sex that men can't get rid of?
I can't understand whether Bonny's willingness to accept Bill's control, constantly using sex as a weapon, targeting wealth, and constantly cheating, is his desire for wealth or his feelings for Bill.
And whether a woman is willing to be driven by the desire for wealth or by the desire for emotions. Apparently between her and Bill there are emotions she expects and the life she looks forward to.
