In fact, I don’t necessarily want to write this review. After all, I don’t like this love story that much, and the film didn’t touch me deeply. It’s just that I find it very interesting to discuss the eternal love theme of spirit and flesh.
Throughout the ages, love between men and women is mostly based on flesh and cannot reach the height of the soul. The ancient spiritual love should all be between the same sex, the sympathy of Plato's good disciples. The liberation of modern women allows men and women to finally have the opportunity to have a joyous union of spirit and flesh. When I first saw the introduction of the film, I was very interested. Two strangers dreamed of each other. Before the body falls in love, the soul runs lightly through the snow in the forest. (If the Oscars have the best animal performance, these two deer actors deserve it, they are very agile and jumping, and they are light-hearted.) Wonderful.
Except for the blood in the slaughterhouse, the rhythm at the beginning of the movie is very calm and has no pulse. It is very similar to the slow-paced daily life of northern Europe. Apart from telling us that the heroine is not gregarious and has a super embarrassed memory, and that the hero is disabled in his left hand, there is not much information. Until a psychiatrist came and accidentally discovered (connected) the secret of their dreams, the two strangers went out of control and started an extraordinary love in embarrassment.
I like to portray several details of the heroine, as precise as a scalpel. The first is her retelling the first conversation with the male lead. She explained the psychology of the two people, including why she poked at the male lead's sore spot and mentioned the disability - the reason was so cute, she just couldn't talk anymore. Well, I didn't expect it to burst into chat. The second time was when she had a sexual desire to hold a toy in the sheets to simulate someone kissing her all over her body, and she folded her face shyly like a child. The third time was the suicide call scene. I was sitting in the living room naked and talking on the phone with blood flowing. If the male protagonist didn't say that he wanted to see her at the end, he probably would have hung up the phone, but you can feel her every second. Deep expectations, "Quickly say you love me, come and save me, I don't want to die." What an embarrassingly cute girl. Pure, straightforward, enthusiastic, do not know how to express.
The great thing about movies is that you don't need much language to express an abstract concept. The souls of two people love each other, you really can't write it down and you can't even describe it in tens of thousands of words, but in the movie, it can be two elk cuddling each other. You know that two people fall in love because they both look forward to meeting in a dream, and the man will say "It's lovely" the next day. You don't need to know what the two deer did, but after the intertwining of souls, what is left is the sweetness of the heart, like eating a slice of toast on the balcony with the warm breeze in the comfortable morning.
Pure sex cannot evoke the ultimate love, and the natural climax of spiritual communication is believed to be the true other side of love.
