In the movie "The Cloister Pavilion", the wealthy businessman Gao Jin is terminally ill and is in a hurry to distribute the family property, but he only has an illegitimate child, but he doesn't know that the illegitimate child is **. So, he sent his secretary Ye Tong to find it. Gao Jin's lover Lin Zhenhui wanted to get a piece of the pie after Gao Jin's death, so he sent his own son to pretend to be Gao Jin's illegitimate son, and Lin Zhenhui also killed Gao Jin's real illegitimate son.
The plot of the movie is tight and gripping. From the beginning, we knew that Gao Jin needed to find his eldest son, and he was terminally ill and time was pressing. This beginning directly hits the important relationship between Gao Jin and his son. Gao Jin paid money to find his son, but Lin Zhenhui was indifferent to his actions. While uniting her son to kill Gao Jin's real son, she also let her son Du Yu appear as an illegitimate child.
In the movie, Lim Zhenhui is by no means a pure villain, and her complexity makes the movie even more in-depth. She listened to Gao Jin's lies and was bent on revenge, but at the same time, she couldn't forget the pain of losing her son. When she heard that her son Du Yu was still alive, she thought of using him for revenge, and she did not feel the slightest guilt for killing Gao Jin's illegitimate son.
The film has many details that portray human nature, such as Ye Tong's love for Du Yu and Lin Zhenhui's pain for the loss of her son. These details make the film more realistic, more emotionally resonant and deeper. The whole story is tightly structured, and the plot climaxes repeatedly, finally revealing the complex human nature and absurd fate arrangement.
One of the questions raised by this film is: what is the cause and chain of cause and effect that forces people to make those absurd and vicious choices?The real backbone of the story is not the typical suspense theme of "Gao Jin was killed", but the "relief after the truth" and "regret after loss" that are easy to empathize with and close to human nature. This complex battle of fates leads the audience to think about how a person should do it in the face of difficult choices to get the opportunity to make the right decisions.
