This is another article from the Q&A area to the comment area, answering a question about the meaning of the film (but didn't actually answer it, just explained the plot, the meaning is too much for a rude person like me heavy). It's been a while since the article was written, and someone just liked it yesterday, reminding me that I once wrote something like this. After reading it again, I am quite puzzled. How lonely does one have to be to write such a long self-talk?

The following is the original text, and the scores are based on the scores scored by IMDB and then converted according to Confucian Taoism.

In my opinion, this is a story about an old man longing for love.

First of all, it is not an accident that the heroine looks like the wife and daughter of a retired professor. The heroine at the beginning of the movie was upset and said that she didn't want to go, and said, "It's okay to ask Nagisa (colleague) to go", but the boss still pushed her over. She has never seen this guest, and of course she will not be named by a regular guest, so why must she be? You will have an answer when you meet her. The professor not only knows where her hometown is, but even the soup is ready. It is not surprising that she has seen the photos of the heroine beforehand. So this meeting may be suggested by the professor or arranged by the boss, and I want to relive the feeling of being in love back then.

Such an arrangement would have been a terrible failure. When we first met, the heroine told two jokes. Some people think that the jokes are quite meaningful and echo the theme. It is very difficult for me to think so, and it is too difficult to make sense logically. Personally, I prefer that this is the usual method of call girls. When encountering more rigid and reserved guests, they tell some pornographic jokes to ease the embarrassment, and they deliberately stop talking to cultivate a sensual atmosphere. So it's not surprising that I borrowed the toilet to get the bed. Of course, she knew that the other party would come over, so let's just roll the sheets all the way to the green light. no). The possibility of being allergic to sakura shrimp or something is just a pretext, she just doesn't want to have a candlelight dinner with an old man. The heroine loves her boyfriend. It can be heard from the conversation with the professor in the car afterwards, and if there is no love, it seems that there is no obligation to make herself so stressed (other people think that based on the title of the film, this film There must be no true love in it, I am afraid that I have mistakenly touched the compulsory questioning skills). So for the heroine, the matter in front of her is just a business, and she doesn't want to be dedicated to that level.

Just when it was about to end, the professor accidentally met the heroine's boyfriend. He had to tell another lie to make up for the lie the hostess had said. At this time, normal people will be troubled by getting involved in an irrelevant troublesome matter. But from his point of view, he and the heroine are on the same line at this time, and the boyfriend is just an outsider who doesn't know the truth. He took advantage of the situation and stunned his boyfriend (compared to the neighbor's paragraph, the professor's remarks at this time may be related to his past, but there are not enough clues to judge whether it is so), and the heroine is still worried Will he take the initiative to offer advice when it is dismantled, it seems that he has such a wise and open-minded demeanor.

But things didn't develop as expected. After all, her boyfriend saw through it and even hit someone. Surprisingly, the female protagonist did not seek friends or bosses, but instead sought help from a customer whom she met only yesterday. This is somewhat warm in the professor's heart. But after all, the good dream took a sharp turn when her boyfriend roared outside the house. Come on, the opponent is 3rd dan in karate, and when he is unhappy, even his co-workers will beat him. The professor stomped to and fro in the room without a master, and the previous image was no longer seen. In front of the youthful body, all that can be seen is the essence of aging and frailty, and this is the reality. So when the window shattered and the old man fell, the dream was over.

I don't quite agree with the statement "what happens after that we'll never know" as if it were an open ending. If this film is called another title, it may be appropriate to explain the follow-up development, but since it is called "Like a Lover (such as Mu Aihe)", I am more inclined to end the story here (<<
