The translation of "Love Is Complicated" sounds weird. The original title of the film is "It's Complicated", and it is also translated as "Lost for Love" or "Lost in Love". The latter two seem to be more appropriate. How can love be complicated, only the human heart is complicated. This is the same principle as form is emptiness and emptiness is form.
Jane is a woman who has been divorced for ten years. Ten years is such a magnificent number. In ten years, she can fall down, get up again, pat the dust on her body, and start again. Of course, it can also be lying there crying, sad, conceited and depressed all the time. It should be no problem to be stagnant for ten years, as long as you allow it. Brave Jane belongs to the former. Ten years ago, when she found out that her husband was in love with another woman, she did not hesitate at all, and resolutely divorced, and then ran a bakery and raised three children by herself. The film does not show in detail the hardships and struggles, hardships and hesitations that Jane experienced in this process. Only from her uncontrollable crying at the graduation ceremony of her youngest son, we can see that she has gone all the way. Come on, how self-reliant, how stubborn and firm.
Her husband Jack, no, is the ex-husband Jack. He is an excellent lawyer. Although he has reached the fifty mark and has a big belly, it is still difficult to conceal the graceful demeanor of a mature man. Ten years after the divorce, his life was completely different from Jane's. He married the young, beautiful and successful businessman who was the third party who destroyed their marriage. After marriage, they jointly raised the petite wife's five-year-old son. After the sweetness was over, he reluctantly found that this beautiful new wife, in addition to not taking care of his diet to help him control his weight, was also very unkind, and often instructed him to do this and that, picking three of him. Choi Si, however, was the most unbearable, when he was so old, he had to go to the kindergarten every day to pick up his youngest son, who was only five years old but was already fighting against him. The ugly face of married life gave him another shock. He started to miss his ex-wife, her bagels, the one-of-a-kind ice cream she made, her gentleness and kindness, missing her never calling him around, and better yet, she wasn't bothered by a five-year-old now, her Her children have grown up, and she is the best person who can be romantic with him every day without any worries about life. What an unbearable and uncontrollable yearning, this man who never understood the reality of marriage and that marriage is to be responsible for these trivial things, decided to take action and attacked his ex-wife.
The development of the plot seems absurd. The thing you once hated, one day, when you look back, you will find that it turns out to be the most forgettable treasure, and only human beings can be so stupid. What surprised me the most was Jane, the brave, mature and free-spirited Jane, who accepted the fact that she was reunited with the man who once abandoned her. They rendezvous, kissed, and flirted with each other. In fact, even Jane herself couldn't figure out the motive for her behavior. Is she trying to get revenge on him, or is she still in love with this man, or because she is too lonely? She also asked herself repeatedly in her heart, she was very entangled, didn't know right or wrong, didn't know where to move forward, didn't know where tomorrow would be, she went to consult a psychologist, she said, am I doing this right? ,am I wrong. The psychologist told her there was no right or wrong. Listen to your heart and if you are happy with him then go ahead and it has nothing to lose to you. What a professional psychologist, he didn't give you the answer of A or B, he just told you, don't be afraid, your heart knows the answer, look for it slowly, you will slowly have your own choice in your experience .
Jane followed the advice of the psychologist. She continued to be with Jake, and the turbulent skin pleasure of the allure of cheating had made her feel reborn. However, she gradually discovered the discordant notes between them, they were like sharp thorns, and finally made her feel that Jack was not a man who could last forever with her. Then, she decidedly made her choice.
I think this is a movie that teaches people how to love, how to choose. The whole film is light-hearted, witty, and refreshing. While enjoying the wonderful visual feast, people will also have a slight touch in their hearts. Love, like life, is all-rounder. One road, two roads, three roads, don't you know your choice, then stop, stand in place, listen to your own heart, listen to the roar of the waves in the depths of your heart, one after another.
