The life of magic realism

Inner monologue, consciousness flow, time and space inversion.

I was watching this movie on New Year's Eve, no matter what the movie is, this opportunity also has a taste of magical realism.

"Perfect Stranger" frankly describes the relationship between people, the golden sentence everyone sees-

Our relationships are fragile, everyone is, and some are especially vulnerable.

But how to make up for this fragility, if the relationship is left to maintain and evolve, it will become an eternal gulf. The so-called perfect stranger, as Rocco said, "I don't want to know if you cheat." We turn many media into obstacles, keeping the mountains out of sight.

Some people are pure, Bianca lives in their own world, is more pure, has more fantasies, and is naturally more vulnerable to damage from the outside world. Innocent people always don't know people clearly. If it is said that they are being treated badly, the naive people may just have a higher bottom line and collapse earlier.

In this way, it seems that this is also the gap between men and women. After all, Ava, as the third party between Cosimo and Bianca, still has inexplicable expectations for Cosimo. This is not naive, Worn and consumed in her marriage, she still thinks she can find a deformed one. When this innocence was broken, she went back to her husband for comfort, and her daughter was right, "You just love her so much that you can't see how bitch she is."

Everyone is like this, just because of a need to maintain a relationship, some people love, some people are nostalgic, some people ask for something else, some people feel guilty... but everyone is unwilling and doesn't know how Let go of such a relationship, the more vulnerable you are, the more you have to subsidize it, close your eyes, and feel your way forward.

The relationship between Carlotta and Lehrer is more like the relationship between husband and wife of modern people. After many years of marriage, they have children and elders who live with each other. They know each other very well and become strangers. Unable to separate from each other, wandering all the time.

People should learn how to break up.

Two people subsidize and maintain such a fragile relationship because of various entanglements, such as children, such as habits, such as guilt, such as sense of responsibility, and they may never be separated. Do they still have feelings between them? From the position of the selfie, we can see which people still have feelings for each other, and which people have only the ranking on the table. Because they are too familiar, they cannot see these cracks, and people instinctively deny it.

The comments on this movie are that couples should not watch it. I really like this kind of story, because we can find our own position from here, and we can also see each other's appearance. Not watching is because of fear. In contrast, this one People in the movie are still equal, there is no obscenity of men or fantasy of women, it just tells a story of magic realism, you can see magic, and you can see reality.

I saw my own shadow in Bianca. Before marriage, I expected too much love. Originally, they were two independent individuals, because the other party gave a promise, believed it, and came together. Extraordinary love, and extraordinarily Marriage is an anxiety-provoking thing, but if you believe it, it is even more fragile.

And Bianca's innocence towards her ex. I've seen such a gesture many times. Innocent people are extraordinarily innocent when they hurt others. She is unintentional, but she has not learned to avoid it. Such a person has been the biggest betrayal of the whole film, which seems to be a fatalistic mockery.

The movie says that the phone is a black box, full of our secrets. The mobile phone is just a microcosm, people's secrets are everywhere. Before the game, they said that another friend who cheated on a 22-year-old beauty led to a divorce. The men said that he should be more cautious. In fact, what secrets can be hidden, nothing more than Whether to look at it or not, it doesn't matter whether the mobile phone is locked or not, the most stringent lock is the heart that we dare not explore.

It seems unfair to stop writing here. As a middle-aged person who came out of the closet, Pep has become the most irreproachable person. His secrets are so simple in comparison, and homophobia is a simple matter. The topic is gone, not the complexity of real interpersonal relationships at all. When a person's experience is consumed between multiple entanglements, not only trust, but also the ability to love is lost. No one else will love, and those who are in difficult situations instead burst out with more determined strength.
