We have nothing and dare not mention love

The movie was well done, but the poster text that "we have nothing but love" is a bit of a chicken soup...

Those who "find a new man to murder their own husband", those who were "became a mistress", those who "divorced their parents and have a new family do not fit in", and those who were "abandoned and don't remember their parents at all" and "victims of domestic violence" have actually changed their personality. It is deformed (there is no ambiguity in this word), these "intolerable" lives meet but have abnormal tolerance.

However, there is no antidote for anyone, and there is no so-called original puzzle that can fully combine everyone. Such a relationship still can't make up for the gap in everyone's true heart, and such a gap will follow them through their lives.

Maybe the movie is not trying to teach you anything, it just unfolds the sadness and powerlessness of some people. Such powerlessness is too frequent in our daily vitality, and every emotional injury will make us uncontrollably more sensitive. These are really not good. Can't say bad.

I have never believed in the word love. I think it is purely a human fabrication. The so-called love may just make up for the incomplete selfishness.
