A must-see romance drama

A four-cornered love story constructed from love at first sight.

Love at first sight may seem romantic, but it is actually absurd and promiscuous, but it is very realistic. Who hasn't tried to think about this and that for a random stranger on the street? A few protagonists are just a little more active than most of Puluo.

Although the generation of this story is in the West, it is also common in our Hong Kong society. The description of the relationship of love in modern times is very bitter and accurate.

The rhythm of the whole film is lively, and the time-space jumping omits the happy time between the couples, and focuses on the cracks of a relationship, making a love no longer beautiful but dark and scary. The disconnected relationship between two men and two women does not make people feel the greatness of love, but shows the selfish side of human nature without hesitation. There is even a moment in the film to make people think that in the struggle between love, the more selfish the more will win the final victory. Fortunately, the ending did not let Zudillo have the last laugh, so that the so-called love that has always been wearing a halo would not even be cruelly stripped of the dead leaves that could only last.

I have to praise the screenwriter for cleverly omitting the stage from love at first sight to development, because the more you describe it, the darker it gets, which takes time and exposes more opportunities for audiences to question it. Doing so can better match the tone of fast food culture, and can focus on criticizing love at first sight, which is the most hypocritical excuse in modern fast food love.

Remarks:

The opening paragraph of the film will make many people happy; this is exactly what modern people want to encounter when walking on the street and saying that they only care about watching and being watched.
