After reading a lot of film reviews about "Perfect Stranger", we are always discussing human nature, etc., satirizing the fragility and darkness of human nature, but there is no desire to strip people. In fact, this is all in a marriage. We can't just release our desires in the limitation, why does Eva engage in extramarital affairs? Maybe it’s the lack of that kind of fireworks in life, facing a rational and tolerant husband, maybe this is the reason for cheating, and the mid-life crisis still confuses many people. It needs a gap for emotional release. I feel that the film is more like Yu Hua's "Alive". Although facing the hardships of life and all the encounters, the desire to live is still alive, just like when the film ends, everyone chooses to live with each other. The other party shook hands with us to make peace, and in the face of such a thing, in fact, we can't face ourselves, and we can't understand and control our own desires. Just like the hero in the film, he knows everything, but he still has his own insight into everything. The confusion of the result is just not expressed. At this moment, there is a kind of life that turns out to be like this. In the face of the relationship in life, we are always careful to manage and maintain it, but no one can afford this consequence.
