Love, Growth and Compassion

In fact, most people envy the rich because most people cannot have the wealth of the rich in their entire lives, or, in other words, the career, life, love, and the possibility of realizing their ideals in life brought about by those wealth. .
Therefore, some people have no money, but they are equally enviable. For example, the landlord may be a person who lives well and dares to love and hate, so those who are inferior, depressed, and bound by life and family will also envy you. But in this country, in this world, there are many people, maybe they were not born poor, but they are deeply influenced by their family or their surrounding environment. They are inferior, weak, sensitive, suspicious, and shy. They are both mediocre and perhaps There are unparalleled geniuses. Just like the male protagonist in the film, he is so good in architectural design, first in the class with outstanding grades, and won the AIA Gold Award of the American Institute of Architecture and the Rome Award, but because of his youth and the sluggish market, he has no chance to show his talents. But as a boyfriend, he is like many ordinary young people at the bottom, naive, immature, inferior, selfish, and idealistic. The breakdown of his relationship with his girlfriend was largely due to his own personality flaws.

If he hadn't met the female protagonist when he was young, the future of the male protagonist should have been like this: relying on diligence and talent, after more than ten years of hard work, he has become a "charismatic and successful person" like John, and has a successful career. With the success of his career, his psychology will gradually become sound, confident, and his mind will mature as he grows older. In the end, he will meet a girl he likes in the circle of the new class, in exchange for China's national conditions, Bai Fumei.
But he met Diana, and not only did they meet, but the two fell in love with each other and got married. This kind of plot is not uncommon in the campus: a man is talented and a girl, or a beautiful girl is attracted to a poor boy.
It's just that Diana is more than just beauty, her selfless love, her willingness to sacrifice herself for her lover, and her refusal to temptation (wealth). Such Diana is undoubtedly the dream lover of most men.
What's more, the two of them have average family backgrounds, and they should both be working class. At a time when they should have worked hard to gradually enrich their lives, they encountered a market downturn and owed a huge amount of mortgage loans. Here, the combination of the two is a bit untimely.
A beggar with a box of gold coins is swaying in the busy market, and the box will naturally be dropped.
It's so similar to what's happening in the land beneath our feet today.

Objectively speaking, most young people like the male protagonist David, the grassroots at the bottom, and their personalities are not so sound. This is also the reason why most grassroots cannot break through their own stratum in their lives, not only because of the social resources they have. It's the bad habits and hidden psychological traumas brought about by the environment they grew up in.
I think these are things that children who grow up in a healthy and happy middle-class family have difficulty understanding, and even if they understand, they are too far from the theme of their lives.
The film relies on the psychological growth of the male protagonist, the love, open-mindedness and fulfillment of the rich, and the love and selflessness of the female protagonist.

    The theme and performance are all good, but can the timeline of the story be extended a little longer? With just a few months of the story, it makes people feel that these emotional changes are a bit unrealistic, so the whole movie becomes very empty. And it's not reliable. Speaking of imdb 5.4 points, more than 20,000 votes. I thought it was okay at first, but the more I thought about it, the more nonsense it became... Also, it turns out that the words about letting go and getting come from this movie.
