Phil's father is Jack, who works as the accountant of the **party, and he is being monitored by the **party for embezzling the party's property and informing the party, and his family is trapped in the apartment at any time.
As it happens, neighbor Gloria came to borrow coffee, and Mr. and Mrs. Jack entrusted their two children to her.
And because the sister didn't want to be separated from her parents, she hid in the toilet alone, and in desperation, Jack had to ask Glori to take away her son Phil and the gangster ledger first.
As soon as Glori left with Phil, the Jack family was wiped out. The gangsters who couldn't find the ledger didn't give up and kept tracking, and Glori had to take Phil away from here.
And Phil keeps looking for his dad along the way, which makes Glori, who already hates children, even more annoyed.
Glori takes Phil to an apartment and wants to make him something to eat, but by her movements, she knows that she must not be a good housekeeper.
She wanted to fry an egg, but the egg liquid was pasted in the pot, and she threw the pot away in frustration. I had no choice but to pour Phil a glass of milk.
Phil took advantage of Glori's shower to escape, but soon the ** party came looking for him.
Glori denounced the ** party in the car, refusing to let go of even a six-year-old child.
Before the gangsters could react, Glori took out her pistol and shot it in the car, causing the gangsters to flee quickly.
Gloria and Phil quickly flee, and Gloria goes to the bank's safe to retrieve her small vault. While riding the bus, Gloria meets her uncle, who says that the news of Glori's shooting of gangsters has spread and that she should be careful.
It turned out that Glori had a close relationship with the gang and was a friend. But her move undoubtedly put herself in a crisis, and the two of them completely embarked on the road of escape.
Glori takes Phil to a cemetery where he pays his respects to his mom and dad and his sister.
Although Phil's family is not here, Glori said that everyone is together when they die, and they worship everywhere.
After a series of wits and battles with gangsters, the two found a hotel and settled down.
At that time, the two who had experienced the test of life and death had become inseparable family members.
Glori asks Phil if I can be your mother.
Phil says that his mother is dead, and she can be her own mother, or she can be a father, family, or even a girlfriend.
Gloria was moved by the child's innocence, smiled and said that it was better to be a mother.
After thinking about it for a long time, Glori decided to call the gang boss and her ex-boyfriend Tony.
She wanted to hand over the account books in exchange for the safety of the two.
After she hung up, she explained to Phil that if she didn't come back in three and a half hours, she would take the train to Pittsburgh and wait for her.
Glori arrives at the gang's stronghold and confronts her ex-boyfriend, Tony.
Tony, the mob boss, thinks that Glori is emotional, and it is the motherly love of a woman who makes her dizzy.
Glori didn't retort, threw down the ledger and ran away.
Tony immediately sent his men to shoot wildly at the elevator where Glori was riding.
Phil, on the other side, thinks that Glori is unlucky, so he obediently goes to Pittsburgh.
When he arrives in Pittsburgh, Phil takes a taxi to a cemetery, where he worships Glori, as Glori had taught him.
And suddenly, a black car came in the distance, and a woman got out of the car.
Phil looked at it, and it was Glori.
But the surreal upgrade shots and the rain of bullets in the elevator just now,Is Glori's arrival the aftermath of the catastrophe, or Phil's painful vision, it can only be left to the audience to think.
Compared with "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", which focuses on the emotional route of the uncle and Lori, "The Female Devil Glori" has more profound meaning.
Director Cassavetz is known as the father of American independent cinema, "Shadow" and "Face" created at the beginning of his creative career are all author's films with a very strong personal style.
On the left is director John Cassavetz, and on the right is his wife Gina Rowlands (who plays Glori).
Talking about his intention to create the film, he said that he wanted to show that the relationship between different races and social groups is dynamic and changeable.
Phil is Puerto Rican and Gloria is Caucasian, and the director's interest lies in forcing a Caucasian woman who doesn't like children to be bound to the fate of a homeless and hunted Borican child, for whom Glori gives her life.
From the initial incompatibility and lack of care for each other, to the final care and love for each other, this is the result of mutual trust.
This film is a classic, and not only Luc Besson is very fond of it.
Famous Hollywood directorSidney LumetAfter his "Twelve Angry Men" has been remade countless times around the world, he also extended his hand to "Lady Glori" and remade a movie of the same name.
Released in 1999 and starring Sharon Stone, Jean-Luc Figueroa, Jeremy Northson, etc., "Gloria the Woman" tells the story of Glori, the girlfriend of a mob boss, who finds out that she was abandoned by her boyfriend after being imprisoned for her boyfriend. After being released from prison, she is determined to break with him and wander the world with the boy Nicky.
Not only that, Wong Kar-wai also loves this film very muchLin Qingxia in "Chongqing Forest".The handsome blonde look is his homage to Glori.
In fact, director Luc Besson himself has publicly stated thathas a soft spot for "The Witch Glori"., so much so that 14 years later, in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the structure of the original was completely copied.
LinguistRoland BarthesIt has been pointed out,The text is a "fabric."This fabric needs to be identified from the interweaving of various aspects of the text.
Through reproduction, reproduction, embedding, derivation, and reconstruction, from new texts to existing texts, there is no longer an initial text, all texts come from the source of thousands of cultures.
The definition of plagiarism or homage is actually impossible to determine exactly, and every subsequent work will be influenced by the works of its predecessors to a greater or lesser extent.
However, whether the expression of influence is directly copied, or whether it is inspired to create something of its own, is the question of artistic worthiness.
