Why not treat it as a true love movie?

There are many classic love movies, such as true love first. There are also many classic satirical films of the American middle class, such as American beauty. There are many classic movies of various genres, and all of them have very good masterpieces. Therefore, the model family cannot be ranked in front of this outstanding film masterpiece, let alone its unstable center of gravity and weak military aspirations. You can hardly even classify it into a category.
Say it is a satire, it does not have the forbearance and subtlety of a satire at all. At the beginning of the movie, the heroine introduced the supporting facilities in the luxury residential area like a slogan, and the family sneered at each other without suspicion, allowing all the audience to understand what this is all about at the first time. In fact, you know the name of the movie, the model family, which is starkly ironic. Compared with Truman’s world, the director didn’t want to be mystery and let everyone discover the truth in the accumulated doubts. Instead, he told us at the beginning of the story. Yes, this is a super big advertisement for an advanced marketing company. . So this movie is like an animated advertisement on a showcase, just stating the facts, but not thinking about what to discover.
Of course, this does not prevent the director from making the movie very good in the previous dozens of minutes. After all, so many famous cars are not very seductive.
But everyone is not spending money. Well, take the time to watch a 100-minute commercial display. A movie without an emotional core cannot become a movie. Therefore, in my opinion, the most important core meaning of the film appears, the love between the male lead and the female lead.
Of course, what happened may be unreasonable and far-fetched, and it is hard to see why the two suddenly fell in love with each other after experiencing countless feelings and still single. But in short, love just happened.
As a result, the model family became uncontrollable. It is worth noting that the changes in the daughter and son are also due to love, although one is a junior and the other is coming out. As a result, the male protagonist can become more and more intolerant of the illusion, and our righteous female protagonist at the beginning can also give up everything and travel the world.
Of course, there are also some unharmonious episodes in the film, such as the car accident of his son and his girlfriend, and even a neighbor who commits bankruptcy by imitating a model family and finally commits suicide. But all this doesn't explain much. From the beginning to the end, the film is not intended to be profound, nor is it trying to expose anything. Everything is as straightforward and understandable as an advertisement that a family is struggling to put on.
Of course, it's like the love of our hero and heroine.
Therefore, such a fresh and lovely movie is full of handsome guys and beautiful girls, full of beautiful cars and beautiful clothes, and full of all the high-tech entertainments of dazzling skills. Why do we have to think so much, why do we need to think, just treat it as a relaxing film of true love. After appreciating all the unrealistic beauty, there is still simple true love as the ending. How great!
