The one you love
/ Ju Lang
A couple with emotional problems, husband Ethan and wife Sophie, try to find a love that no longer exists by seeing a psychiatrist.
The cross-cut at the beginning of the film made the viewers mistakenly think it was a replay of the original encounter. When Sophie pinched her nose and jumped into the dark swimming pool with Ethan, she thought that there would be a passionate scene in the swimming pool. , however, not as the audience expected, the picture cuts to Ethan as told by the psychologist. This also establishes that "Love Is You" is not a love movie full of youth hormones, but a heart love movie that directly hits the hearts of the characters.
Time is actually another god of death, taking away the joys and sorrows of the past, taking away a person's youthful appearance, and even the love that the two people cherish very much, it can also disintegrate it into ashes. The two said "Happy Anniversary" to each other in the swimming pool, and floated silently in the water for two hours, under the pretense of waiting for the owner of the house to come out and yell at them like the first time they met, but in fact it was just between the two. There is a distance, and there is a sea between a double bed, how sad it is.
The story really begins when the eerie and steady background music is slowly poured in. The guest room is undoubtedly the core of the story. The mirror image Ethan and the mirror Sophie living in the guest room imply the real version of Ethan and Sophie's atrium. The one who lives in the heart is the hoped mirror Sophie, who can take the initiative to say I'm sorry, fond memories of the good old days, playing the game of picking grapes for a couple, and Ethan, I hope Sophie will no longer pursue the end with tight nerve endings, no longer frown, but calmly give it to him Surprise him and make him eat his favorite bacon.
Everyone has the hope that others will accept themselves instead of changing themselves. If they want to change, then this change is a willingness from the heart of "women are pleasing to themselves". Without a doubt, Sophie was the first to taste the sweetness of the return to love. When Sophie described to Ethan about getting along with the mirror image Ethan, the feeling of passion and happiness in her heart was already secretly doomed.
Any development has a prelude, just whether you have noticed it yourself. Every time she enters the room, Sophie enjoys getting along with the mirror image Ethan, while Ethan has been exploring and tracking the details of the relationship between Sophie and her mirror image. In the end, Sophie fell in love with the mirror image Ethan, that is, at the same time. At the last moment when he was about to leave the villa, Ethan finally bowed to Sophie and apologized and said I love you, but it was impossible to restore the world that had been immersed in the mirror Ethan.
The setting of the penultimate scene makes people feel like they are in the scene and shows the dilemma. When the mirror image Ethan falls to the ground in a coma, and the two Sophies are standing in front of Ethan facing a choice, the audience is actually Make a choice with the person you truly love in your heart, a dilemma of choosing one or the other. In the end, Ethan chose the Sophie who smiled at him. When driving away, another Sophie held the fallen mirror Ethan and watched them leave. Nice fake ending.
The last scene where Ethan and Sophie played happily on the bed was as warm as Ethan and Sophie playing chess on the blackboard in the villa. If you guessed that the psychotherapy of the two of them was successful, then take Next Sophie said boiled bacon and scrambled eggs for breakfast, declared the failure of your guess.
"The Mamas & the Papas" fades in softly, stirring up the emotions of love and life intertwined in my heart.
While I far away from you my baby
.
I know it's hard for you my
baby
Because it's hard for me my
baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
.
Each night before you go to bed my baby
.
Whisper a little prayer for me my
baby
And tell all the stars above
This
is dedicated to the one I
love
Life will never be so good. Facing the departure of his real wife, Ethan felt lonely and sad, but he bravely walked into a new life.
Maybe this is the best release for the two of them.
In the end, I chose the one that is the most loyal and most suitable for you.

    Contrasted with "The Night of the Comet", the key point of the plot is also about how to replace the intrigue of another self. The fun of this film is not to tuck it in. In the opening ten minutes, the two couples who are blurred in time and space have a head-to-head confrontation, so as to explore in the plot development whether you love an ideal fake lover or a real person full of shortcomings. Lover, but in the end the heroine loves herself.

    Except for the psychiatrist at the beginning of the film, there are only male and female protagonists in the whole film. For the couples of two different personalities, both of them have a special interpretation, especially the male lead. (There are a large number of actors in the entry, and it is not clear which shots were performed by others) The director expresses his views on marriage in a weird way, whether he likes the other half around him or the other half in your imagination. The ending is very interesting, the choice of the male lead is destined to be wrong.
