story takes place in America under McCarthyism. The film's heroine, Kattie, is a woman who lives too seriously. This communist Jew has a strong political outlook. Roosevelt to anti-war, anti-nuclear, she is like a persistent fighter always standing on the cusp of confrontation. The male protagonist, Hubble, is a carefree and ordinary person with no specific political affiliation. He has excellent writing talent and handsome appearance, and dreams of a career in Hollywood. The love between two people can't see the result from the beginning. Despite this, they still stubbornly compromise for each other and love each other.
At a party of H's friends, K is irritated by the cynical jokes of H's friend, and she can't understand why he can accept his friend's numbness to politics and superficial understanding. At the same time, H is also disturbed by K's lack of social etiquette and her extreme stance. These two completely incompatible personalities run through the film from beginning to end. They are always themselves, always out of place.
At the final reunion of the film, K still walks the streets with anti-nuclear leaflets, and H is already a TV screenwriter. Apart from the lovely daughter, there are only memories left between them.
Why do two people with very different values fall in love with each other? Knowing the contract and long-term companionship is the love that modern people need, quiet and eternal.
She is never afraid of failure, not afraid of disappointment, and always stands up. Such confidence in life is awe-inspiring. She longed for him to take literature, politics, and life seriously, demanding perfection in everything. But he is not her. People who were once in love finally lost their feelings in the conflict.
“You never give up, yes?”
“Only when I'm absolutely forced to. But I'm a gtreat loser.”
