What is a conversation with a man?

I watched it twice in a row, not often. This is a good movie! Isn't that how life is? After many years, the lovers who broke up meet, flirt, dance together, and have skin-to-skin kisses. All things happen in one night. The time in the movie is about ten o'clock in the evening to three in the morning, a very short physical time.

After ten years of separation, two people who are still in love, such a conventional plot is not offensive at all. The hero and heroine do not have names in the movie, but all the supporting characters have names and surnames, with symbolic settings, not a name, they are just men and women.

The man stroked the woman's body and said, "All this used to belong to me, but now belongs to someone else"; when he left the room, he secretly left the woman's pearl earrings, and put the cigarette case she gave him in his pocket; The graceful demeanor at parting, the sadness as the taxi steers her ex-wife away, it's all sad. Does she really love his second husband? The woman thinks that there is no picture of each other because she does not love, she has. Undefense between lovers, she confessed to her husband about her past relationship, she had, of course, not including the hobby of smoking. She claimed to love her husband very much and was happy, but she made everything happen. She wanted to torture him because of love.

The screen is divided into two parts. It is the first time I have seen the method of dividing the screen from beginning to end. I was not used to it at first, but when you slowly like this movie, you also fall in love with its form, like It is the two people in the dialogue staring at each other. Time and space are interspersed in the two divided pictures. For a while, memories emerge in front of them, and for a while they return to the present moment, the two opposites of escape and reality. The two were entangled in the details of their first meeting, with similar conversations and conversations, and their dispositions could not be changed by time. They are very similar, the same mobile phone, the same two people who have the same partner but are lonely, are destined to have no chance to be with them. I used to think that emotions would change over time, but there seem to be exceptions. When the memory gradually becomes clear, and everything that is happening will become the memory. The man tries to describe the life after being together again, and the fantasy is always isolated by the picture. The line that symbolizes family and responsibility divides the emotions of the two. She was leaving, and in despair and anger, he threw the bridesmaid's dress out of the window. That's what happened. You can't change it. You can only keep going and follow the original trajectory of life. At the end, when the divided pictures finally merged, they returned to their respective worlds. Just like the ending that the man said: "Then, it's over."

The dialogue with the women seems to show the women's position on marriage and love. What is a conversation with a man?
