"The Singles Guide" has the feel of "He actually doesn't like you that much", starting from four related people and discussing relationship issues. But compared to "He doesn't like you so much", I prefer "The Singles Guide", which is probably the main reason. The film unfolds from four women, Alice who longs for being single, Robin who is free, Meg who is single first, and Lucy who uses formula to find true love. The four women have their own pursuits, but they all have reversals. Of the four women, I like Robin the most. She seems to be unreliable, but she is the one who treats the feelings most clearly. I especially like the part where she scolded the hostess Alice: "I feel that every time a man looks at you, you are so beautiful that you don’t know who you are, and then you live for what you are in their eyes. At least I decided to have sex. When I was a boyfriend, what I wanted was a man who liked me as I was, because I knew in my heart what kind of person I was." This sentence is very sharp but true. Although love is beautiful, it is easy to lose yourself. . Indeed, many people are just like Alice. They are in a hurry when they meet a suitor, and then pretend to maintain this beauty. In the end, they never figure out whether that person is a pretense of loving you or the real you. One day when the disguise will eventually be exposed, I will be tired, and my feelings will slowly come to an end.
What is the meaning of love? Like Alice, need someone to help unzip and install wifi? In order to find someone to accompany you to eat, go shopping, or watch a movie? If this is the reason for the existence of love, then love is too superficial. These things can all be done by one person. Finding someone will waste time and energy. It is better to spend time busy in love doing something meaningful. I especially despise the act of falling in love for the sake of love like Alice. It is very tiring for people to live for love. Real love should be that I can live well by myself, but I can be myself and live better in love. In addition, I really can’t think of other reasons that are worthy of falling in love. After all, I can play with flowers. Isn’t it ill to find another partner who needs to run too much and needs to cater to in order to fall in love? It's really better to be a single nobleman. But too much insistence on being single? In the film, Meg is the representative, obstetrician and gynecologist, insisting on infertility. The speech about the child was also very popular. "If you have a baby, this society will stop you from pursuing your dreams, and I don't want to give up my identity and become a slave to these mini-heart thieves. I don't have time to exercise, and I have no sleep for the rest of my life." Just like this, Meg suddenly got the idea of being a mother because he looked after a little baby. I didn't want to fall into feelings, but I met the true love of this life, and my single belief for many years collapsed instantly. Is the director satirizing singles? No, being single and being in love are both beautiful. But when true love comes, don't hide. If there is love, you must be brave to love. If you don't love, you can enjoy the single life like Robin and Alice after awakening.
Being single is indeed lonely, but even people in love are lonely individuals. Only when the heart is strong can you feel fulfilled in each state and no longer be lonely. Love is not a cure for loneliness. Fortunately, at the end of the film, Alice finally woke up, no longer lost for love, reading, fitness, traveling, and began to learn to appreciate who she really is. Why can't you enjoy the single life? When you order food by yourself, you don’t need to care about other people’s tastes. The deliciousness is only for one person; you go shopping and try every style without anyone commenting on you; you can watch a movie by yourself when you are lucky. One person occupies the entire theater, and the movie is only played for you; traveling alone does not need to pose, only one person quietly blends with the scenery and enjoys the peace of mind. Singles should also live out their own colors and enjoy the truest self. When you are strong enough, you don’t care about being alone, because you live a wonderful life, and you need to be in love just because you want to live better.
Whether it is in love or being single, each state has its own beauty and should not be discriminated against. Being single is not shameful, nor pitiful. As the hostess said, only when you are single, you are truly and completely free from secular emotions. Only at that moment, you only have yourself, truly alone. After that moment, I can't come back again. Cherish the single life, remember: we are nobles, not dogs.
