The balance point in life is too easy to be broken, or the balance itself is changing dynamically, with dualism and dialectics everywhere. Control and be controlled, possess and give, arrogance and humbleness, center and edge, independence and dependence, ignorance and fearlessness and mature aging. The transition between roles may be hidden in the little disturbance in the seemingly calm, and gradually accumulated, which is fascinating but also embarrassing. The film skillfully and delicately lays out such a dilemma in a fluid and novel way. The subtlety of the design is that the light seems to casually put forward some not simple ideas, such as maria has always rejected the old lover, but left a note for him after getting out of the car. Christopher, for example, thought his wife would quit automatically, but chose to commit suicide. For example, the director's despair and helplessness in the current information age and his understanding of time and space at the end of the film. The little director's visit in the last few minutes of the film, and then the show started, until the protagonist's eyes that seemed relieved and confident under the canon music, which could not be clearly resolved, were directly shady, and this last scene gave people goosebumps all over. Surprisingly good movie.
