love

Many years ago, I saw a movie promotion on TV. I only saw a scene. A man was walking in a hurry under a street lamp with snow in the middle of the night. Under such a picture, a name that was urgently called out echoed.
I didn't know until a few days ago that this film is "Mystery Apartment", a story about Shakespeare, about love, about love, about intuition.
In the first part of the story, the male protagonist is obsessively looking for traces of his ex-girlfriend, familiar scents, acquainted high-heeled shoes, while recalling the memory fragments of the past, while frantically searching, like the beginning of a conspiracy wrapped, people can't help but suspect that the male Whether the memory of the protagonist is real, and whether the woman who is looking for really exists. Then another woman with the same name broke in, making the story confusing, but the puzzle was revealed too quickly, love was led astray by clumsy lies, and the person who didn't get the love at the beginning became the hidden third party , like the hand of fate separating those who love each other.
But maybe the truth of love does not allow blasphemy, maybe the red thread on the feet of the people who love each other keeps pulling, and they break through everything with the heart of love under layers of barriers. Always be together.
Or, this is the director's good wish, and he can't bear to let them be so far apart.
The third party can't see the love around him waiting for her, only the love that has not blossomed.
This is a game of chase. In the maze called love, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole.
