On the dialectical relationship between past and future in love

I always thought I had seen it, but I just found out that there is no mark, so I don't know if I have watched it completely before, but I just watched it completely again.

Although the film seems simple, in fact, it constantly emphasizes the dialectics between the future and the past. That is, especially in the face of feelings, some people are more accustomed to living in the past, while others are accustomed to living in the future. The heroine has been emphasizing that she hopes to be a person from the future. It is mentioned at least three times in the film. In fact, it just reflects that he is a person who has been living in the past. Because she couldn't let go of her deceased boyfriend, she kept calling him the man from the future. So the heroine pinned her hopes for the future on the hero. She hoped that she came from the future, so that she could meet the future hero. In fact, she is someone who is easy to live in the past, so even when she meets the man she loves , and it still takes three years, and even go to the UK to forget the previous relationship.

And this is a dialectical about the speed of letting go of lost memories. Different people release their memories at different speeds. Some people may be like the deserter, after some persuasion by the heroine, they can release their sympathy, while others need three years to release like the heroine. I remember Dou Wentao said in the episode "How to Break Up" in the fourth season of the Round Table School, that he was a life-and-death breakup, but someone told him at that time: "My child, this matter is to endure the time, so he will endure the time slowly. Therefore, there are many people like the heroine and Dou Wentao who are very slow in letting go of lost memories.

This is the dialectical relationship between the past and the future in the relationship. At the same time, the dialectics between the past and the future is not limited to the death of the boyfriend. Sometimes in the relationship, there are always people who remember the days when they lived together in the past, even if the two are still together. In other words, people in relationships always have different preferences and speeds for the past and the future, which can easily lead to friction. But this film, like all commercial romance films, will cover up all the places where two people are prone to conflicts and conflicts, and set all the challenges and difficulties on the outside world, such as family pressure, accidental misses, etc. . We almost never see the hero and heroine change their hearts in commercial romance films, but only when the hero and heroine fall in love and break through the difficulties and challenges of the outside world and finally get together, the public seems to be intoxicated again in the huge dream created by the movie. In fact, the biggest difficulty and challenge in a relationship has always been the relationship between two people, that is, the love they have for each other, rather than something from the outside world. In commercial romance films, we rarely see the direct expression of the change of the hero and heroine's love for each other, but only in art films, it is more reflected in the friction and conflict after the two are together. Geman's films, etc., while commercial romance films are only responsible for showing the sweet things before the two were together. Therefore, the performance of art films is more real and normal, while commercial films are dreamy, ephemeral and abnormal, but people hate reality and normality, but like fantasy and ephemeral, so art films will always be the preference of a few people, and commercial films will always prevail in the world.

On the other hand, the question of people's preference for the past and the future will be more reflected in the question of how much people value memory. Although the heroine in the film seems simple, the hero is also emphasizing that the heroine is forced to smile, but in fact hides her inner sadness. And the male protagonist loves and understands the female protagonist more because he sees the female protagonist, so this is also the point that this film is different from conventional idol films. It is necessary to seriously think about why this film was popular back then. Maybe there are reasons behind every seemingly simple but popular film.

It is worth mentioning that Korean films, especially Korean romance films, like to discuss memory as a key topic. For example, there are the erasers in the mind and the like, the use of Alzheimer's disease and the like, and the often-mentioned Korean drama Three Treasures, amnesia, car accident, cancer, and amnesia is also one of them. Therefore, this film is also dealing with the issue of memory and memory, and how to deal with memory and passing is indeed a major issue worthy of repeated discussion. There have been many discussions in Korean films in this regard, and this is also a problem that people are particularly concerned about.
