Do you choose the hard mode, which is sober and painful, or the easy mode, which is confused and satisfied?

One dining table, seven mobile phones, seven friends, one trial, one catastrophe.
"We play a game and put our mobile phones on the table. From now on, no matter the calls and text messages that anyone receives, they must be disclosed to everyone. Anyway, there are no secrets between us."
Ava's proposal It's like a curse, which makes people feel itchy and uneasy. The most terrifying thing is that no one can refuse this curse. The seven people present are not only good friends, but there are also three couples. Is it more exciting to spy on each other's secrets? Aha, curiosity and desire for control told us not to, so everyone agreed and took out their mobile phones in awe.

For a time, under the contact of Gongchou, there were dark surges.
With the passage of time, text messages and phone calls are intertwined, and the originally beautiful interpersonal relationships have been cut to pieces.
The surprise is a little inevitable, and the accident is full of helplessness.

The secrets that have been exposed range from "lightweight" - difficult to confess physical and mental defects, helpless mother-in-law problems, difficult to distinguish right from wrong children's education concept, etc. to "heavyweight" - vulgar flirting routines, unbelievable Coming out of the closet, etc., the atmosphere of the film has been upgraded from "a little embarrassing" to "extremely embarrassing", and the development of the situation is completely uncontrollable like coughing medicine - you think this should be the most powerful secret, I didn't expect Five minutes later, an even more powerful secret struck. The dinner party turned into a tragic Shura field, and I watched as layers of intimacy fell off, layers of trust collapsed, and each of the closest partners became perfect strangers.
Help, my little heart can't take it anymore.

But that's the beauty of the film. We knew that we were going to witness a massacre before watching the movie, but we were curious about how tragic the massacre was. It's not that we are perverted, it's that the film has a strong sense of substitution - each of us is like the seven protagonists at the dinner table, carrying secrets (privacy) big and small; we know that paper can't contain fire, but we always Lucky, calm and rushed; so we are eager to test the consequences of secrets once they are revealed - can they be forgiven or never? There is a trial inside the film, and we outside the screen are also torturing ourselves.

Hey, don't tell me, you don't have any secrets.
Just like the lunar eclipse, the astronomical spectacle that appeared in the film, it not only promotes the development of the plot well, but also fulfills the mission of metaphorizing more than one side of human nature. In life, a well-behaved and obedient daughter in front of her parents may also be a sexy and hot little wild cat in a nightclub, and a restrained and cautious employee in front of a leader may also be an uninhibited traveler who loves extreme sports during the holidays... This is a relatively easy level to accept. Leveling up, it will be like in the movie, the three good husbands on the surface are hiding their little lovers, and the "normal" young people on the surface are "deep cabinets"... In fact, we only show a specific side to specific people, Use a certain side to attract certain people, which explains why people who love each other inevitably torture each other - you attract a partner with a good side, but after living together, you will expose various other sides of you, such as your beauty You used to be too lazy to take a bath for three days, but you were a clingy goblin who was independent and capable... The closer two people are, the easier it is to unlock the other side of each other. can make you a more lovely and lively you), if it involves the dark side of the principle, it will suffer to death.

So, "if we were really open to everyone and each other, almost no one would be able to carry that weight of complete transparency". Just like the name of the film, Perfect Stranger, may remain "unfamiliar" forever in order to keep "perfect" forever.

If the film ended in a mess, it wouldn't be so sad, but the director assumed another ending - if the game hadn't started, everyone would kiss, hug, say goodbye after dinner, and return to life with their own secrets , slightly drunk smile, happy and satisfied.

Nani? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Some people interpret the ending like this: "Don't test human nature" "Be a man with one eye and one eye closed"... Some people scoff at this, but others regard it as a dogma of life. But the film doesn't tell us what to do, it gives us a choice - do you choose to be a critical fighter and live sober and miserable, or be a confused person and be happy and content? In fact, no matter what, as long as we are not greedy, it will be simple. Because there is no "awake and happy" option (knocking on the blackboard), when we get rid of the flukes derived from greed ("Maybe things are not what I think" and so on), those complex and tangled issues are Can be solved. Looking at the great rivers of history, philosophers who look at the essence through phenomena are mostly depressed. To give an example in recent years, Lin Jiawen, a genius boy born in 1998, committed suicide in despair because he had insight into the future of life. Therefore, if you choose a sober person, you also choose the hard mode of life, and you have to accept the baptism of pain, because human nature is like this, and there is always its sinister side. You can't expect the person you are testing to have a perfect and pure Soul - because neither do you. I admire those consultants who will indicate at the end of the article "I can accept it regardless of whether I break up or not" when submitting articles to the emotional column. Those who want to go through the hard mode must have this kind of courage. Otherwise, choose Easy, close your eyes and accept the curtain of shame between people.

If you have to choose hard again, if you are not mentally prepared and do not practice good skills, you will be game over. Does it make sense?

    The coincidence is too deliberate, and the reversal of Liang at the end shows a world that does not expose lies and pierce the window paper. Although it fails, at least it is golden and jade, and it is harmonious. It is also an illusion that most people are willing to maintain. What love, marriage, family, friendship, those things that you think are sacred are dismantled into pieces and smashed. Should people learn to break up and break up? Or just bewildered? It's all up to you.

    One of the best of 2016! God script! The group play in an apartment is well-arranged and interesting, covering all family, friendship, and love. The last thirty minutes were full of high energy. When the turbulent undercurrent was brought to the surface, the suspicion, anger, and pain between husband and wife and friends were all revealed. The last lunar eclipse is over and everything seems to have never happened, or has everything changed?
