Just like the way "The Departed" and "Hachiko" work, the American version of "Untouchable Lovers" is based on the South Korean film of the same name. Whether it is successful or not, it shows the confidence of Americans in their own film industry. The confidence that ARGO brings to Americans cannot be summed up in one sentence.
In this film, Dr. Kate, like those medical workers who murder patients instead of curing them, has an extremely sensitive and vulnerable spirit of fraternity. After witnessing a car accident, she fell into deep self-blame and regret because she failed to save the victim. Her colleagues told her to stay away from the hospital atmosphere and live a completely different life outside of work.
Not only was she unable to do it, but she was completely in uncontrollable pain, and combined with her own life experience, she created another bizarre and complete life. As said in the film, she had an unforgettable first love but could not remember what her boyfriend looked like at that time. After being forced to go home by her father, her boyfriend died of illness, and it was his wish to become a doctor. The vigorous emotions and the blurred image of her boyfriend not only became a huge regret in her life, but also left an opportunity for others to intervene. This opportunity came to Alex, who died in a car accident - maybe his name wasn't Alex, maybe her first love was Alex.
In short, she used her extraordinary imagination to reverse the cruel reality and form a parallel universe. In this independent space where others can't intervene, she and Alex freely traveled through the vague time and space after two years, sneaked into each other's hearts in public, danced warm dances in privacy, and they knew each other and fell in love. Step by step, from the unfamiliar to the familiar, from the pain of death to the joy of rebirth. However, the reality is still cruel. When the dance ended and the two kissed, their couples interrupted their rare moment of intimacy.
The plot of the film is interspersed with reality and reality, time and space flow freely, and it is difficult to distinguish which is real and which is fantasy. In fact, the most critical distinguishing factor is Morgan, Kate's real boyfriend. If he shows up and doesn't actually make contact with Alex, then the plot is disconnected from the reality of the entire film. This part is real Kate's real life.
Summarizing these lives, we will find that Kate has a sad past and real life is very unsatisfactory. Morgan is a step-by-step, not romantic person at all. His life is hard, difficult, and boring. Kate's marriage to him has fallen into a fixed life trajectory. From the beginning to the end. There is no surprise or surprise in life since then. The non-human being married just happened to catch up with the mid-life crisis again. The wildest move in her life was to run away with her first love, but the ending was endlessly sad.
Stranger Alex does die in a car accident, yet she rebuilds a new world through him and elopes again. This time her father couldn't interfere, and she also saved her bleak life and Alex's lonely soul.
PS:
1. Halfway through the film, I guessed that one of the people between Kate and Alex must have died. About 3/5, I guess it was Alex. Near the end, I guess she and Morgan found Alex's brother's renovation company. Oh yeah!
2. After watching Gravity, I was a little bit obsessed with Sandra Bullock and found a lot of her movies. "Gravity" is a political film, and the beautiful outer space can't hide the United States' attempt to join hands with China to contain Russia. This is at least the attitude of the screenwriter, or the director, or the producer. After World War II, the U.S. policy changed from uniting China to contain Japan to uniting Japan to contain China, and then uniting China to contain the Soviet Union, but it never united the Soviet Union or Russia to contain China. If the U.S. government shares this attitude, I believe it is not a stopgap measure, but a prudent policy toward a broad and long-term future.
