Don't let us get stuck, okay?

When I saw the heroine's large apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows and old wooden floors, I was amazed, and I secretly felt that young women in literature and art should praise this messy and not cluttered apartment one after another, and at the same time praised being a photographer. The heroine, she not only has a profession with a strong literary atmosphere, but also often wears some small fresh and literary clothes, such as overalls, big shirts and big sweaters, messy long hair, but also has a kind heart, and often takes the elderly to see a doctor , and lonely, sensitive, stubborn, and a little proud.

Ah, this is the standard configuration dream of an authentic young woman in literature and art.

It turns out that no matter China or the United States, young women in literature and art are the same in literature and art, and young women in society have their own wild flavors.

I said so much as if I was trying to prove that I am a literary youth, no, I am a social youth, I am a social youth, and I am a social young woman.

Because when I saw this big apartment, the first thing that came to my mind was how difficult it was to clean. Those various cups, photos, books and all kinds of small objects hide a lot of dirty dust that is not easy to find. Then the big windows are very romantic and sunny, but it will be very cold in winter. It seems that there is no such thing as a floor heating radiator. How many air conditioners would it take? It seems that the young people have never described air conditioners. Is there no winter in the United States?

The male protagonist is much more normal. In addition to being too popular with women, he is a normal pharmaceutical sales representative, lives in a normal apartment, and has a rambunctious brother. It stands to reason that this kind of social fritters and windy wanderers should not be in the upper world with a standard female literary youth like the heroine. As a result, people fell in love at first sight, but they chased after them fiercely. A messy heart in the wind.

These are understandable, there is nothing in the world that cannot happen. The screenwriter felt that it was still too bland, so the heroine had Parkinson's disease.

The biggest disadvantage of this film is that I don't know what the screenwriter wants to express.

Want me to say, wouldn't it be nice to honestly tell the story of a buddy who ended up getting married?

Why include the story of selling drugs? If you can skillfully combine medicine and love, and it fits the title of the film, it will be a wonderful thing. But the result is that love is love, selling medicine is selling medicine, and there are some details trying to pull the two together, such as the male protagonist's accidental failure to trigger the inspiration to sell Viagra - but these are more for the sake of The blunt marketing advertisements that should be implanted in the movie for sponsorship - I thought that only Feng Xiaogang

was happy with this... Why does the heroine have to get sick? I thought that only Korean dramas that love sensational and unimaginative love let the heroine have a terminal illness. Although Parkinson's is not a terminal illness, the prospect is more terrible than a terminal illness. why? In order to set off the heroine's strength, in order to add some tragic factors to this love? To test the hero?

Whether it is a foil, an addition, or a test, as a romantic film, it needs to be mastered. Once this degree is over, it will change its tone, lose its taste, and harm the audience.

So, I don't know what emotions to take to watch this movie. If it is a tragic film, then please give me time to prepare tissues, I am ready to be moved and cry, walk out of the cinema and let me forget all this and the damn cruel reality and future of the heroine. If it's a romance, don't make such drastic predictions.

The old man inside said it very realistically. He said to the male protagonist, now your only choice is to leave a note and turn around and leave.

Pain wears away everything, whether it's love or patience.

The male protagonist was shaken, then moved again, and then he chased after him again. After a series of routines that could no longer be conventional and familiar enough to no longer be familiar, he finally pulled the heroine back into his arms.

But what happened after that?

What happened to the prince and princess, generally speaking, people who are interested should not ask any more. But the premise of not asking is that you have to give me a certain degree of relief. In this state now, I don’t want to, and I can’t.

The director actually pushed a problem to the audience. He couldn't figure out the answer himself, so he left it to everyone. It was extremely irresponsible.

He also doesn't know what kind of mentality and what kind of things the male protagonist in that kind of environment should do.

Even if the male protagonist is not out of sympathy, not out of guilt, not because of being moved for a while, but loves the heroine wholeheartedly, has no regrets and no regrets all his life, and will not regret for a second to take care of the increasingly unable to take care of the heroine. At the last moment of life, even if he is so great, wouldn't the heroine feel powerless in the long life in the future, feel that it is a drag on the hero, and feel that life is better than death?

The director must have thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to answer these questions, so he ended it hastily and wanted us to turn our heads and forget it, but it only made us feel blocked.

I've always thought that people can't stand the test, so don't mess around. Let alone tossing around so seriously in a love-romance movie. If you want to seriously discuss human nature, the relationship between injury and love, that's fine, as if there is no such serious film in the world, and we have seen it a lot. There are many tricks to add to the bed scene, adding a little less art and freshness. In fact, how many elements are added is not the point. The point is that the director did not perfectly combine these things and refine the ability to create a theme.

It's like simmering all the vegetables and potatoes you can think of in a big pot, and finally boiled a pot of poison.

Jennifer"... whatever, and I'll do a big apology and I'll say, "I thought you were the Lisa who was mad at me for not calling". And, from then on Jennifer, or whatever her name is, will think that I dated a girl who looked just like her... who I rejected. She'll develop this unconscious need to win my approval and from then on, it's cake.

    Bruce Winston: Damn!
