find that person

Phoenix's talent is to bring out the unrequited anxiety in one's heart, and "Two Lovers" and his other works continue this peculiar tone. It's a terrible thing to expose a person's inner world. It's a great irony when Linao listens to the opera in pursuit of Michelle, but says "I do like you." to Sandra.

Sandra does her best to accommodate Rinao, but he still clings to his unrealistic fantasies. This is somewhat in line with the film's attitude towards the pursuit of ideals, and even so, the film suggests that indulging in ideals is not a wise choice. Rinao's farewell to his mother and the scene where he goes back to the house to meet his mother's eyes are the finishing touches of the film - love is the most precious thing in this world.

    It doesn't matter whether you choose a red rose or a white rose, but yourself, do you want to obey your own heart to be a "patient" or obey the expectations of the outside world and choose to repressively play a normal person?

    "Love is a dark horse in the night". And many dreams may end up being the same as this dark horse in the dark night. It is still just a shadow in the twilight. After colliding from left to right, only to give up can we usher in a tragic dawn.
