This isn't a movie review, it's an afterthought
This year's Golden Bear Award film is another story that is not easy to understand, and it was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Even if I talk about the plot here, then if you don't watch the movie, maybe it doesn't help you feel what the movie brings. There is a difference between text and images.
The heroine of the movie is set to be a strange person, and this strangeness is naturally relative to the "normal" we do ourselves. If I had to use one word to describe how I feel about her, I think I would use "principle."
She insists on what she thinks is right. For example, at the beginning of grading the beef, the beef was judged as B-grade beef when it was a little fatter by two millimeters. This made the employees in the factory very dissatisfied. After all, A-grade naturally sells. higher price. The same job, different income, who would like it? So she is not popular.
The movie also shows that she is more demanding about things. For example, she will definitely clean up the crumbs on the table, and even before she decides to go to the hospital after cutting her wrist, she must wipe the blood dripping off the table first. These details are all trying to tell the audience that this woman has a "non-casual" principle. (She cut her wrists and answered the phone call from the male lead, and she was talking on the phone with blood flowing. This kind of attention completely ignores any other external elements)
And this principle applies to her love. She is not interested in the male protagonist at all, and the male protagonist has no good looks (disability), but this is not the reason why she rejects him. By chance, they discovered that each other would have the same dream at night, and each other played the role of a stag and a doe in each other's dreams. The heroine instantly found the feeling of "soul mate"
Adhering to the principle of love and soul as the foundation should be the principle of the heroine for love. From that moment on, the heroine tried to change what she was unwilling to change for others, because she met her soul mate.
Does a person adhere to principles, is it important to love? I believe this may be the question the director wanted to ask. From this point of view, people who do not adhere to principles cannot talk about love. So what are the principles of love? Adhere to the principle of soul first. But in real life, most of us give up our principles too easily. Now is an age where everything can be negotiated. Are you right? So we really don't see much true love.
This is a romantic film
