At the beginning of the film, the protagonist looks through the window at the endless sea outside the cruise ship. He longs for love just as he longs for the sea. An encounter on a tram, a man fell in love with a woman at first sight, and a woman also had a good impression of a man. Men wait under the stop sign of the No. 96 tram every day, waiting to see women. Maybe it was the sincerity of the man that moved the woman, maybe they were a couple made in heaven and earth, and they could finally be together. They kiss, they go to dinner together; they make love, they play together. All this seems so beautiful, and it is somewhat unbelievable. But this beautiful love gradually went to the extreme under the dark clouds in their hearts. Sensitive words like abuse, name-calling, and beating begin to enter their lives. Do men stop loving women, or do women stop loving men? Neither is. Their love has never been discounted, and even deepened.
In fact, a man doesn't know a woman, he only cares about her beauty and kindness, but never knows a woman's past. It seems to me that this woman must have suffered a great deal of damage. With a man, she not only regarded him as a lover, but also regarded him as a kind and lovely father. She can't live without him, because he has lived alone for so many years, and she has experienced the loneliness and loneliness of life. Suddenly God gave her a man who loved her, a man who was both a lover and a father who loved her deeply. Without him, she would lose everything again, and life would be completely meaningless. So her love has reached a crazy level. Every time a man drives her away, she will burst into tears and fall to her knees in pain.
In fact, women don't know men either, and she can't stand him talking to other women. Like a man, she doesn't know his past. Men have longed for love. But such a sudden and crazy love exhausts a man's body and mind, making him unbearable. He abandoned her because he didn't want to let the bitter moon of love continue to hurt each other; he abandoned her, and he punished himself severely. He was willing to degenerate, gave up literary creation, and buried himself in wine and women all day long. But such punishment is useless, because love has already hurt each other's hearts.
Love too deep to find sufficient reasons for his betrayal. This is excessive love, and such extreme love must lead to unimaginable consequences. What followed was endless revenge. Revenge until the two are beyond recognition; revenge until the beautiful love falls apart. They went to the church for their wedding, and there was no love here, and only two walking dead were left. They lost their minds completely, and continued their extreme hatred and love. At the end of the film, the cruise ship that the protagonist rides sails on the boundless sea. The sea is huge and wide, as unfathomable and alluring as love. They jumped into mad love without thinking, and their love also went from the calm and sparkling lake to the ocean with huge waves and clouds.
Behind the eroticism of the film is actually the distortion and perversion of the mind. After watching the film, I asked again, what did this film give us? I think it is very simple, not the appearance of love but human nature. And we need to understand human nature not only to see the appearance of things, not only to see the good and evil, beauty and ugliness, but to understand the underlying reasons after analyzing the appearance.
Why do men and women do this, and why their love goes to a terrible abyss. Behind each of these questions are the subjective factors of the characters and the historical background they are in. That's the genius of the director. All along he did not tell us where this woman came from or what kind of origin she was. Nor does it tell us the historical background of the man. Leave us endless imagination. We can use our reasonable imagination to insert a few recollections of the hero and heroine into the film, and that is the answer we have found.
