not love's fault

This is a really good film for depression. But I really like the way the film is edited. It is obviously a thing that develops in chronological order, but through editing, it has become two timelines with strong contrasting effects. How sweet it is when you are in love, how sad the reality is. Two people who clearly love each other so much, how did it become like this later? Some people blame love disappearing too quickly, and some people blame the male protagonist for being too unmotivated and unable to help women bear the pressure of life. However, after watching the film, I felt that it was not because of a problem with love, nor because life was too cruel. The main problem was that two people should make their own choices under the arrangement of fate. Who we will meet in our life is uncertain, so it does have an element of destiny, but it is really up to us to decide who we will keep in our life. In my opinion, the male protagonist in the movie is caring, willing to help the lonely old man decorate the room, and willing to raise children who are not his own; he is also versatile, but his luck is not very good, there are no opportunities in life, and he has been living a mediocre life. The passion has faded, but he still loves the heroine, and is doing something to save the relationship between the two. In my opinion, I think such a man is actually not bad. If he finds a woman who appreciates his talent, that woman will have material desires. If it is not too high, in fact, it is possible to live a poor but happier life than in the movie. In my opinion, the heroine of the movie is really a person who is influenced by her original family and who can't fall in love with her. She has never loved her ex-girlfriend who left her with a child, nor does she love her child, nor does she have any feelings for dogs, and what she has for the male protagonist is more moved back then. After she was less moved, she felt that she cared more about a stable life, so she began to feel pressure to live with the male protagonist, and then put pressure on the male protagonist in various ways. The lives they want are different. Find a chance to talk about this issue before marriage, find out that each other is different, and then don't go into marriage, is it better for both of them. Most people will fall in love with different people in their lives, and try different people to know what they really care about. There is nothing wrong with love, what is wrong is that they ignore that love cannot make up for the too large gap between two people. In fact, after I said my point of view, I started to feel less confident again. I am really just a way of clearing the way for others, because I am watching their stories, so I can analyze it calmly, but there are so many ifs in life. Woolen cloth? When the relationship is strong, everyone will believe that they and their loved ones can overcome everything. Two people who are obviously different, blindly approach each other because of their good feelings when they meet. In daily life, the differences between the two people are becoming more and more obvious and irreconcilable. Probably the truth of life is loneliness and coldness, so we can't help but fly into the fire for the warmth we encounter in life.
