Unopenable Pandora's Box

It was an unintentional movie, but it gave me a great surprise.
The movie is magical, unfolding the truth like a dream, and then ending the hypocrisy like a reality. The first second was a series of miserable farces, as if all relationships had been shattered and irreparable, but the next second was peaceful and peaceful, everything seemed to have been manipulated by the hands of the years, completely Corrected. I just watched it and thought it was only Rocco's conjecture that he tactfully stopped the game, but in the process of writing, I couldn't help but think that this is a perspective that a character in the play can take on, this is everyone's speculation Plus imagination, otherwise, how could the contradictions break out in a single dinner, in a trance.
Lunar eclipse, this is an essential setting for the whole film. The predestined dinner was due to this, and it played a role in promoting and mitigating several conflicts. "—Maybe tonight's lunar eclipse has left you all delirious." What a good reason, it seems to have told us that everything is illusory, imaginary, and it will not happen under "normal" circumstances. Under the perfect shelter of the lunar eclipse, the game of trust on mobile phones began, like a Pandora's box, one by one, the secrets that could be heard or not ran out wanton, and finally everyone was forced to leave no bottom line, and the fish died and the net broke. Jade all burnt.
First
, the question of whether or not to have children was thrown out lightly, and by the way, I also discussed whether wanting children is selfish or a manifestation of great love, but I can see that the couple's marriage issues and homosexual values ​​can be linked later. Whether having children is to give future generations a chance to reproduce or just to satisfy one's desire to live again is also a very controversial issue in our generation.
Second Family Contradictions
The wife who is a psychiatrist is reluctant to let her husband perform breast augmentation surgery on her, and the husband who is a cosmetic doctor is also reluctant to seek advice from his wife. know. By the way, I really agree with the father's opinion on his daughter's first sex life. Don't compromise easily because you are afraid that your boyfriend will be unhappy. Upswing rather than adding to conversations with friends. Such an enlightened father is still relatively rare.
One of the lawyers in the three extramarital affairs
chose to break the rules of the game because he was afraid that his extramarital affairs would be revealed, and exchanged mobile phones with others. Marriage between lawyers and wives tends to be tedious, and it is only maintained by the guilt of one son and one daughter and wife, so one hooking up with young women and one looking for passion on social networks, how sad, sad and hateful. And the story of this pair has overturned the previous positive defense about whether or not to have children: having children is a happy and complete family. Are you happy? Is it complete?
The quartet of homosexuality
was brought up in a completely unexpected way, and at first I didn't expect Lucio to be Pep's Lucia (because the last letter in Italian can indicate the feminine and masculine of a word) , I later understood why he didn't bring his "girlfriend" to the meeting, why he was reluctant to tell his "girlfriend" that he was eating with friends, and why he insisted that the marriage of two people could be happy. If there is anything that moves us the most here, it is inseparable from Pep's firmness in his sexual orientation, and his transparent view of reality: ——If
I bring him to you, he will definitely Hurt by your weird eyes. If you love him, you will protect him from all harm.
The biggest harm is that friends have to pretend to be open-minded even if they are abnormal, and the best way is to isolate them.
Under the circumstances of the five friendships
, when he learned that the lawyer was gay, Lehrer was furious, but was choked by the lawyer saying "are you angry because I'm gay or because I didn't tell you" and couldn't answer. His anger should come from the former, which will make the lawyer sigh "I thought we were friends".
If we used to say that our impression has always been that women are friendly and have many girlfriends, then Lehrer is the unquestionable friend whore + scumbag among men, not only fucks with female colleagues in work relationships, but also has an affair with his friend's wife, What's more, he doesn't want to be responsible for one (listed taxi license). In the case of Pep, the men excluded Pep from the team because of jealousy and didn't care about his work relationship...

In the end, the director gave us a suspenseful ending: everything was calm and peaceful. It seems to be just a drunken fantasy, the time is reversed, but everything has changed, maybe what should happen has not happened yet, in short, the time is quiet now, and continue to live with a mask. Which ending is better is up to the audience to judge.
