All this makes the heroine addicted to the movie, or wants to run away with other men, which is very reasonable. Here, the director once again mocked universal morality. If the husband's outlet is gambling and hooking up with women, then the heroine's outlet is watching movies and falling in love with beautiful men in fantasy movies. Who is sorry for who? The heroine ran away from home again and again, but she returned to this home every time, so in the end, the most scumbag husband had always been the most practical choice.

A dream, once realized, you will be excited from the beginning, to the slow adaptation and boredom, the so-called "start is always wonderful every minute, everyone thinks that enthusiasm will never decrease, except when the passion recedes." A little tired." Although there was also a tangle, she still chose to give up the handsome man in the movie, and the cruel thing was that she actually knew that once she made such a choice, the handsome man in the movie would obediently return to the movie and turn off the projector, and the world would be completely destroyed.
