The beauty across the rope bridge, I feel I'm in love with you

(Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, I will give two stars to the film played by Uncle Colin...) The

male protagonist is a firm atheist. If there is something in the world that can make him feel shocked, then such a thing must shake His worldview.
At least the first half of the story is absolutely like this.
However, in the second half, things took a turn for the worse. The male protagonist discovered that everything that moved him so much, as well as his worship and love for the female protagonist, was actually based on lies. It means that he has a deep affection for the hostess, and he used a large set of words that he did not believe in "how happy you will marry me" to woo. It was actually successful!
Then the story ended without thinking.

I really can't believe this is a complete story-I can't even believe this can be regarded as a Happy Ending! The male lead’s fiancee, although there is basically no role in this story, at least from the male lead’s description, it can be seen that the fiancee attracts him not only because of her reason, but also her strength and optimism, which can support the world. A male protagonist with a relatively pessimistic view. The female protagonist attracted the male protagonist not so much to make him believe that she can be psychic, but to give him reason to believe that the world has some more optimistic possibilities-but later, even these "optimistic possibilities" It turned out to be a scam. Then, for this woman who is neither smart nor strong (gossiping all day) and optimistic is more based on ignorance, where is the call? It is not a big problem to make a little harmless little lie that the dead husband is not unfaithful and give the fragile old woman a little spiritual support; but for a man who is an ambitious man in his prime, how can he be a heroine? What can the trick of pretending to be?

I am reminded of a common psychological illusion-if a man wants to cross a dangerous rope bridge, he is so nervous that he is short of breath and his heart is speeding up. At this moment, he just sees a woman walking on the opposite side, then the man can easily put himself on the rope. Bridge time's nervous reaction was mistaken for a "pumping" for this woman. In short, mistake the illusion for love.
So, does the male protagonist in this film deliberately use love as an excuse to cover up the frustration of being so arrogant but being juggled by others? In this way, I am not fooled by other people's methods, but surrendered to love, and the frustration of impaired self-esteem is much reduced.
In real life, this is not accidental. It's ironic.

Magic in the Moonlight quotes

  • Stanley: The comparison makes me laugh! Olivia is a person of accomplishment and charm. Sophie's a street finagler who makes her way living off one bit of hokum to the next.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, I don't see how you can compare the two.

    Stanley: Well, don't put ideas into my head!

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, far be it from me!

    Stanley: Of course, she does come from dire circumstances. I mean, it's very easy to be judgmental about people who are born into circumstances less fortunate than one's own.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, life is harsh. One must do what one must to survive.

    Stanley: Well put. And people do sometimes make the wrong choices, which they regret, even though no serious harm was done.

    Aunt Vanessa: Which of us has not made some blunders in life?

    Stanley: And there is a rather appealing quality about Sophie. Despite her disgusting behaviour.

    Aunt Vanessa: Yes, her smile is rather winning. Of course, it depends how much value you put on the purely physical.

    Stanley: Well, no, I... I, for one, esteem the higher virtues.

    Aunt Vanessa: Hmm... Beauty of the soul...

    Stanley: Although her eyes are rather pleasant to look into. And that she can be amusing, under the right circumstances.

    Aunt Vanessa: Oh, but Olivia is an educated, cultivated woman. One that befits a man of your artistic genius.

    Stanley: Yes, now, my genius must be factored in. On paper, there's really no reason to prefer Sophie to Olivia.

    Aunt Vanessa: Well, I would say the opposite.

    Stanley: ...And so your, your suggestion that I, I be honest with Olivia and tell her that as irrational as it seems, I've fallen in love with, with Sophie - that's a preposterous notion.

    Aunt Vanessa: It's lunacy.

    Stanley: ...Yet I can't help feeling that...

    Aunt Vanessa: ...That you love Sophie. Yes, I understand. You're puzzled and bewildered; because your foolish logic tells you that you should love Olivia.

    Stanley: Foolish logic?

    Aunt Vanessa: And yet, how little that logic means when placed next to Sophie's smile...

    Stanley: What are you saying?

    Aunt Vanessa: ...That the world may or may not be without purpose, but it's not totally without some kind of magic.

    Stanley: ...I have irrational positive feelings for Sophie Baker. It's like witnessing a trick I can't figure out.
