Without the British couple, the film would be completely erotic, and with Hugh Grant and Thomas, two big stars and small supporting roles, the film's philosophical philosophies were established. The couple was not just the opposite of that mad couple, but the stepping stone that brought regular audiences into the character of Hugh Grant. Only from the point of view of Hugh Grant (an ordinary person like us, but involved in the love between Oscar and Mimi) to see this love that needs too much, does this love seem real, as if it really exists, as if it is in Around, and then deeply experience, and then thought-provoking.
At the beginning of the opening we saw the British couple who seemed to be in love with each other, Thomas helped the drooping Mimi in the toilet, and then Hugh saw a decidedly different Mimi in the bar who was very sexy and danced. The contrast between Mimi before and after All of a sudden, a mystery emerges, which leads the plot and also leads Xio to go deeper with the audience. Hugh was stopped by Oscar and asked to listen to the story of Oscar and Mimi. In this story, Mimi's fans were slowly unraveled, and a crazy love story of excessive love was shown in front of the audience.
After the story of Mimi and Oscar starts to tell, you can actually leave Hugh completely aside, but you have to explain Hugh's hypocrite character and the rupture of the appearance of a good marriage with Thomas, so the story stopped twice and divided into three sections: the initial sweetness of love, the mystery of love Chaotic sex disguised torture, marriage. This kind of pause is even more surprising for the rest between the climaxes and the sudden turn of the plot. There are also some over-the-top sex scenes that the audience can imagine themselves through the words described by Oscar. After all, it would be too bold and taboo to show it with images.
At the end of the story, after a crazy same-sex sex, Oscar shot and killed Mimi and then committed suicide. Before committing suicide, Oscar told the audience that this ending was because "we are too greedy".
And the British couple stood outside the boat window, embracing each other like the beginning of the film, and the Indian woman appeared like the beginning of the film, through the cute and innocent face of the little Indian girl, through the words of the Indian father, "A child is better than a trip to India. It all works" reveals to the audience the director's answer after philosophizing, that children are the best destination for love. A love that is too fiery and exhausts everything will eventually be quickly annihilated, and a love that is too bland and ordinary will lose the impulse to love and become a pool of stagnant water. He believes that children are the best medicine for marriage. After all, all love has a time limit, and family love is infinite.
I don't dare to disagree too much with the director's point of view. The movie itself is an art of simplifying complicated things to present, although I am more looking forward to an open ending. After all, love is not so simple, and there are thousands of questions that can be thought about between the extremes of love. Everyone is so different.
The director Polanski is male after all, and if a female director shoots, it must be different. Why is Mimi so daring about sex, and why is she so committed to Oscar? Do men imagine that women are always infatuated? Maybe it is infatuation, but the director did not explain what infatuation is at all. I also feel a little unhappy when I watch the movie about simply treating both men as fascination and treating both women as infatuation.
