Some people are alive enough to save someone

Recently, I watched the new work "The Devotion of Suspect X" directed by Su Youpeng, which is an adaptation of the original work by Keigo Higashino. Said to be an adaptation, in fact, it is just a restoration of the original work with the name changed.

After watching the movie, I suddenly thought of the "Love Time Limitless Love" I watched before, and then I forgot the name. It took a lot of effort to find the movie, and then it took a lot of time to find the resources.

I watched it again late at night, and I still felt deeply. Some people said that the film was not dug deep enough, the actors were too performative, and the three views were not right. In fact, people see it differently. But in a similar aspect to "The Devotion of Suspect X", as Shishen said at the end of the play: Some people, as long as they live well, are enough to save someone. More or less aroused the unspoken thoughts in everyone's heart. The same is true of this film. It penetrates into your heart without any pain or itching, and awakens the feeling in your heart that you feel ashamed to tell others because you feel unbearable. That ta may be your relatives, your friends, your teachers and students, or even a stranger who has never heard of again... They just exist in a hidden corner of your heart.

But the heroine in the film is not like this. She has French romance and freedom, but she also has a bondage that she knows well from love. The hero is set by a vulgar writer. Owning the heroine inside and out, wanting more than 5-7 o'clock appointments, and wanting to live more dashingly than the heroine. Typical American imperialism, possess, conquer, then become a hero. The heroine attacked his three views, and made him become the same as herself. It's just that she forgot that she is still the mother of two children. Even if the children like the male protagonist, her husband doesn't care about her behavior. But the imprisonment from that freedom trapped her.

This is a woman that millions of women love. Not her grace, her nobility. But in the face of the soulmate who got a lifetime after eloping, she is still loyal to her heart, lonely and free, stubborn and strong.

I like the cigarette she lights on the street and the ring she wears. I like the sincerity and bitterness with which she is loyal to herself.

Women shouldn't be like that, but so what.
