"Marriage is worse than hitting the sun in choosing a date. Of course, you first need to spend twice as much time to determine love." If you insist on giving "Five Years Engagement" a central idea.
Tom and Violet fell in love at first sight at a Halloween party, and after dating for more than a year, they decided to enter into marriage. This should be a story without any suspense and not becoming a story. However, the story unfolds unexpectedly in this way. Just as the couple was about to start busy with the wedding, Violet got the opportunity of her dream to go to the University of Michigan to do post-doctoral research, which meant that they would either separate the two places or change the place of life at the same time.
Tom gave up his promising restaurant business for Violet, and accompanied her to this small northern city. Violet's career is like a fish in water, but Tom can hardly find a place in this small city. The frustration in his career almost made Tom devastated. He tried his best to adjust for Violet, but the tension between the two gradually caused greater psychological pressure, and the two finally broke up peacefully in a very adult manner. To make a long story short, in the days of separation, the two naturally developed healthy careers and each had a new pillow. However, as time passed, the two maintained a friendship like friends, knowing each other’s current situation and status, but both The person who thinks the other person deserves better, and the better person is himself. Hey... The most touching thing in the world is that the person I love happens to love myself so much. So, the two met again at a funeral, and the proposal that was planned and brewing at the same time broke again. The belated wedding unfolded like a war, so touching, beautifully impeccable. Yes, when the love soldier is near the city, the pastor’s question can be brief and a little shorter. At this moment, the shortest "I do." and "I do." write all the previous love as promises and give all waiting an explanation.
Of course, this is of course a good reunion. It is impossible for two such wonderful people to end in a reunion. These two beautiful people are beautiful because they are pure people, people who are free from secular prejudices, people who love first, and people who know what they do. If the story of Tom and Violet is placed in the contemporary Chinese context, then Violet is the famous "third type of person"-female doctors who are intolerable by "Diaosi" and "Gao Shuaifu", and they are also "post". "Left Woman" Who is left without you? If someone marries you, your family’s ancestor’s grave has risen to the sky, and you actually broke up with someone. Have you realized that the probability of a female doctor getting married after the age of 30 is infinitely close to zero? And Tom, as a "Diaosi" who almost won the counterattack, actually gave up the high-end restaurant named after him for a 30-year-old leftover girl, and became the real "Daosi" who is well-deserved for shooting deer in the jungle. Later, I was "lucky" to have a girlfriend born in the 90s, enjoying the joy of bedtime, but she did not marry a teenage girl who was younger than herself, and wanted to look back for the "old woman" in the mouth of the "post 90s". Can't help but make the Chinese male audience sigh: "Diaosi", what on earth do you picture?
And the love counterattack of the "Professional Dog Doctor" almost has to answer all the myths about love and marriage of Chinese young men and women of the right age. Do men lose their passion as long as they succeed in bed? Should we live together before marriage? Is age the primary consideration for love and marriage? The story of "Five Years Engagement", which is almost an inspirational story of a defeated dog, seems to try to answer us: Don’t try to extend and maintain love in any way, because love should almost remove all the complex factors, including pure physical attraction. Only after the influence of economic dependence and dependence, family relations, personal development, etc., can it be revealed, it can be pure and lasting. When I have everything, but find that I don’t want anything, I only want that, that one and only person, when I stay in my life, love is more vivid than ever, and marriage is more natural than ever. , Isn't it?
So, isn’t this a good love textbook?
The film explores the most daily matters of life and the most important issues such as family and marriage, career and marriage, love and self, love and accommodation, love and timing, love and sex through side stories and character dialogues. Our definition of "good man" and "good woman". A good man should be like Tom, who has the ability to own his own restaurant, but doesn't mind driving a dining car to sell Taco Bell; he can be a chef in a high-end restaurant in Los Angeles, but he is willing to follow his loved one to a northern town where birds don’t shit. Buy a sandwich; he can't beat a vigorous fashion professor, but he also has the humor to make the professor pretend to be chased by himself and run away embarrassed. As for "good women", they should be like violet, doing a post-doctor, and happily helping the old public dining car, Tom's proposal is broken, and he can continue acting enthusiastically; don't give up the career he wants, You can also say goodbye bravely when two people are no longer happy; you can say goodbye bravely, and you can bravely propose to a boy when you realize your true love is hard to give up.
A good love textbook should not only teach people what love is? What should and should not be done in love, we should also tell us how to be a good person while looking forward to a good love.

    If life was an exam, the heroine would be option C. The hero circled her at the beginning, and then changed the answer, but the most important thing was that, just before handing in, he erased the incorrect and confusing options and chose decisively. C!

    Violet Barnes: [Impression of Cookie Monster] Me love him but it's very complicated. Cookie doesn't get everything handed to him on a silver platter like Elmo.

    Suzie Barnes-Eilhauer: [Impression of Elmo] Cookie does a career he wanted. Tom moved to Michigan so Cookie could work okay? Elmo wanted to be a kinesiologist but instead, Elmo is cleaning puke off her shirt every day!

  • Audrey: Hi! I missed you today.

    Tom Solomon: That's nice.

    [pauses]

    Tom Solomon: Listen, I need to talk to you about something, Audrey.

    Audrey: What's behind those eyes, Tom?

    Tom Solomon: My ex-fiance has been on my mind a lot and I feel like that's something I need to explore.

    Audrey: Well, she's an old bitch! There, I just explored it for you. Done?

    Tom Solomon: It's hard to have this conversation with you.

    Audrey: You need to explore it, Tom? You were with her for five fucking years. That's a really long time. What else is there to learn about her?

    [yells]

    Tom Solomon: I don't really know the answer to that but I just think I need to find out.

    Audrey: What are you thinking? You're so stupid. You're so stupid! You're gonna leave me? You're gonna leave this for saggy tits and a loose vagina? Really? Oh God!

    Tom Solomon: I'm sorry to do this to you.

    Audrey: Shut the fuck up! You know what? You should just go, Tom. Just go! Go! Go have fun with your old woman. Go fucking read at night together. You can go through menopause together and you can go get your little prostates checked. Check each other for lumps all the time and do those kinds of things together. Then go get some Crocs so your back doesn't hurt. And then you can go walk on the beach and fuck each other with your gross, wrinkly balls.

    [pauses]

    Audrey: That's another thing. You're getting fucking fat! It's really hard to have sex with someone when you can't breathe underneath them. Can't breathe! Like I feel like I'm going to die every time!

    [sighs]

    Audrey: You should leave. I'm gonna say mean things.

    Tom Solomon: Goodbye.
