The film does not have the elegance and romance in the usual love story, nor the intrigue of New York City in the Scorsese movie. The smooth shots show only the lives of ordinary people in modern metropolises. They ran for a living. They are anxious about emotions. These ordinary people with seven emotions and six desires lead the most ordinary lives. But they have dreams in their hearts, longing and longing for love. In this sense, the character Jack has become the endorsement of the lonely man in the city. The characteristics embodied in him, the clumsiness in interpersonal communication, the innocence and timidity when interacting with the opposite sex, and even the fragility and irritability when encountering setbacks, all make this character universal and symbolic. This kind of love from the low-level civilians that is closer to the original state of life is easier to touch the audience. Of course, in this Philip Seymour Hoffman's debut work, the mistakes that most new directors are likely to make can be found. But it is undeniable that Philip Seymour Hoffman has overall control over the film. At the end of the film, a pair of lovers cuddled and walked into the distance, while another pair of once-loving couple ended up splitting their ways. Life is complicated. Perhaps what can be done is to tolerate and love life, face up to the heart and feel the ups and downs in it. A debut work that makes the audience feel warm and is worthy of applause.

They met at a friend's husband and wife's house, fell in love at a friend's house, they were close, and the friend's husband and wife were falling apart. They are two weirdos, somewhat abnormal, friends and couples are much more normal and smooth. Perhaps, by helping them, this normally zealous couple made their lives seem normal, blurring the focus of the marriage in other directions. In the last scene, they broke up and fell in love awkwardly. Jack takes the girl he loves to rowing

In this winter, I study, cook, learn to swim, and watch the people around me get together, just to go boating with you on the lake in early summer. I am afraid of failure, and you are also afraid of hurt, so overcome me, but don't hurt me.

Clyde: Let's smoke a toast.

Jack: This always happens.
Clyde: What?
Jack: Whenever there's anything good, it fucks up.
Clyde: It fucked up, but it fucked up because *we* forgot.
Jack: No, you fucked it up because you made a fucking toast!
Clyde: Because I love you. We all love you. We forgot the food because you were being loved. That's the important thing to remember.
