He's just not that into you.

Nearly a year ago, there was a time when I really wanted to see this movie. Because the name sounds good enough to pull women out of their irrational hallucinations and self-comforting feel-good, and kick them on the right track. Now that I've finally got the film in my hands, I'm still curious to see how the film deals with these kinds of issues, even though the mindset is completely different.
It's not usually the distant question of whether the former president of South Korea committed suicide. Because before we were attracted by those news, we were already messed up by the trivialities around us.
Obviously, this is a girl's movie. Regardless of tone or point of view. It's easy to get out of all the lukewarm relationships that tangle, if we're willing to believe its point. To use a vulgar analogy, this movie is a double-edged sword. On the one hand we can decisively get out of the state of indecision - we all know it's maddening and hopeless, and the film seems to work for women both Chinese and foreign; on the other hand we still Hesitant to believe it, afraid that too absolute judgment will lead to missing something. The movie also seems to have the answer, it tells us that even if we miss it, there will still be better, and don't always console ourselves with those exceptions, because we must be just the ordinary case. But at the end, it takes an incomprehensible turn and says, oh, maybe you're an exception.
The movie also seems to be getting tangled up here. So what I want to say is, whether the situation inside is suitable for our nation with its own implicit "traditions", the best way is to watch this film for both men and women. Because the biggest problem between the opposite sex is that the signals of the two may be completely different. Once there is a unified language system, or all dialogue is tacitly straightforward, then the difficulty is much less. Of course, the premise is that both parties have the will.
The film ends with such a monologue. Because in the end, the problem of how to solve the entanglement has not been solved simply, so it can only end with such a set of rhetoric. And that makes me satisfied. Because it may be calming.

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up:
If a guy punches you, he likes you.
Never try to trim your own bangs.
And someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending.
...and your commitment to each other.
Every movie we see,
every story we're told...
.. .implores us to wait for it.
The third act twist:
The unexpected declaration of love.
The exception to the rule.
But sometimes we're so focused
on finding our happy ending...
...we don't learn how to read the signs.
How to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't.
The ones who will stay from the ones who will leave.
And maybe this happy ending doesn't include a wonderful guy.
Maybe it's you.. .
…on your own...
...picking up the pieces and starting over.
Freeing yourself up for something better in the future.
Maybe the happy ending is just...
...moving on.
Or maybe the happy ending is this:
Knowing that through all the unreturned phone calls and broken hearts...
...through all the blunders and misread signals...
...through all of the pain and embarrassment...
...you never, ever gave up hope.
