Undoubtedly, love and marriage are the themes of this film. After adding sci-fi elements (a single person enters the guest room, you will meet another "other half"), this story seems to be a "parallel time and space" sci-fi film, but as long as you watch Understand, I would never compare it with "The Night When the Comet Came".
Because science fiction is just a coat, and this film is more like a fable.
Ethan and Sophie met at a party. After half an hour, they sneaked into the neighbor's courtyard and fell into the pool of love. They were out of control and got married soon. But after they got married, they found that happiness became very difficult, and they were often unhappy about a little thing, and the relationship between the two people was not so good.
Ethan took the initiative to repair the relationship, but found that the harder he worked, the less hope he could see, just like the proposal to go to the swimming pool to relive the old dream on the wedding anniversary, embarrassing and boring.
So they went to see a psychiatrist. In the case of no effect, the psychiatrist suggested that they go to a country villa for the weekend. He also said that he had sent many couples there, and they all had a "new look" after they came back.
The journey of fantasy time and space in the country house started happily.
Then, I soon discovered that there was a pair of "them" (Ethan who doesn't wear glasses, and Sophie who likes to eat bacon) in the guest room of this villa.
At first, when they found out about it, they were taken aback, and immediately packed their clothes and drove away from the villa. (At this time, they can leave at will.) But when they arrived at the small restaurant, the two of them had something to eat and chatted for a while. Sophie was obviously interested in another fake Ethan and proposed to go back (although, she said at the time, This is to improve the relationship between the two, but I think this is just an excuse to persuade Ethan), Ethan and Sophie drove back again, and also agreed to three chapters for this "expedition" activity.
I think Ethan obviously loves Sophie more, because he will be jealous, and has no feeling for "the other Sophie who is good to him", and even always says that she is not a real person. On the other hand, Sophie, she enjoys it very much. "Another interesting Ethan" can even break the agreement between her and Ethan for this reason. Whether it is a timeout or another relationship (although that is the real Ethan), it shows her love for Ethan. They all stay in the familiarity of life and their own feelings.
Soon, Ethan, who wanted to find out the roots from the beginning, discovered the problem: someone was searching for his information to pretend to be him. But when he told Sophie, Sophie looked indifferent, and even took advantage of Ethan to leave, trying to run to the guest room, to have a shot with the fake Ethan.
Of course, the unkind Ethan turned back and pretended to be a "fake self". I can’t understand what Ethan’s mood was at the time, but I can see that at this time Ethan was already extremely frustrated, and from this point, he was full of hostility towards the "fake Ethan" because he I can feel that this man is taking away his beloved wife.
You might say that Ethan not only took a peek, but also did this kind of thing, making it clear that he did not trust his wife. Indeed, Ethan is not a good husband. In addition to some personality defects, he also lacks trust in his wife, but at least he really cares about his wife to do so, and Sophie simply doesn’t. The starting point is not for this marriage, for the love with Ethan.
What's more, mutual trust leads to true belief. Good husbands always appear in pairs with a good wife. In a marriage, any problem cannot come from just one person.
Obviously, Ethan and Sophie’s problems actually come from their own conflicts with each other: Sophie is familiar with this kind of Ethan, and is very accustomed to being with him, but she can’t stand the ordinary life after marriage. She urgently needs it. An interesting "Ethan" came to save her life. Ethan loved everything about Sophie and tried his best to bridge the relationship between them. At first, he thought that repeating the past can bring back the happiness in his memories, but he didn't succeed. Later, he kept reflecting on his own character issues, but these were not easy to change, or that, after the change, he became the "fake Ethan".
To put it bluntly, they are accustomed to the life of each other, but they are tired of partners with all kinds of defects (such as Sophie thinks Ethan has no fun, and always seeks the roots to ruin her pleasure, and Ethan likes to eat bacon, so Fei does not allow it, and always mentions one thing repeatedly after many years), hoping that the other party and herself can have more love, more happiness, and more soul harmony. How many couples who have gone from love to marriage will encounter this kind of thing called the "seven-year itch" in their middle age?
Because we are familiar with each other, we are accustomed to each other, we all promised ourselves to be forever, but we can really feel that his soul and ourselves are not on the same rhythm (the opening piano ensemble is connected).
How should we scratch our itch?
Just when Ethan was about to discover the truth of the matter, the fake couple faced them face to face. From their interaction, it can be seen that the fake Ethan is obviously smarter and even controls the overall situation, while the real Sophie’s attention It's all on him.
At night, Ethan discovered that someone was indeed pretending to be them. The previous psychotherapy was just to obtain their information, so that the person who pretended to be them had almost the same voice appearance.
At this time, Ethan found that he couldn't open the door of the guest room. It wasn’t until the next day that the fake Sophie came to tell him the truth. It turned out that the fake Ethan and the fake Sophie did all these things to separate the two of them. Then, the fake Ethan and the fake Sophie did it. Can go out in their capacity.
However, the fake Ethan fell in love with the real Sophie, and she was going to leave with the real Sophie, and the fake Sophie loved the fake Ethan very much. She would rather stay with the fake Ethan in this country house instead of watching To the fake Ethan left with the real Sophie.
Okay, a little bit tricky. In fact, I have a logical question here, that is, is the setting of the villa "the one who loves can leave" or "the couple who doesn't love stay"?
But in fact, the two do not conflict, but if they try to love each other, wouldn't these conflicts disappear?
So, I thought about it, it might be that "the couple who loves each other more can leave." In this case, the fake pair would have reason to separate the real pair, and the real Ethan would not be able to get out of the guest room when the real Sophie became more and more distant with him.
If you have different interpretations of the setting of this "True Love Villa", you will have different views on the ending.
According to my statement, you can see these points. First of all, the real Ethan and the fake Sophie are really in love, and the love between the fake Ethan and the real Sophie is still swaying. This can be based on the fact that the real Sophie refuses to go with the fake Ethan in the end. Ethan finally lived in harmony with the fake Sophie, you can tell.
Perhaps you will think that the real Ethan is in love with the fake Sophie, who only loves the body, not the soul. The fake Ethan changed his appearance (it can be inferred from this that they were the first couple who could not leave), but the fake Sophie still loved him and loved him even more until the fake Ethan wanted to take the real Sophie away. His soul.
But in fact, any love can not only start from the unilateral outer or inner, it must be "from the inside out" or "from the outside to the inside" to be so in harmony.
If you only love his soul, then your love cannot meet each other. If you only love his body, then your love cannot speak.
"Everyone I like has your shadow", of course this is not an infatuation.
"No matter what you become, I love you", this infatuation must be a lie.
Love is so harsh, maybe it will happen when, or it will go away when. When you become entangled in the dilemma between body and soul, then it must be no love.
The things encountered by the real Ethan and the fake Sophie are actually the simple sentence "The one I love, isn't zhe one who loves me."
Many people have heard or agreed with that sentence, "In love There is no right or wrong", unfortunately, not many people have explained this. I think that's because love is a matter of two people. Two people are not opposites, but two sides of one body related to each other. Love is right, two people are right, separation is wrong, and both people are wrong. What's more, no one can define which one is more right or wrong to fall in love or separate.
From the same appearance, but indifferent, to love and cherishment, the soul can also be in harmony. Although this is weird, but in short, the real Ethan and the fake Sophie have a very happy time, and they can eat their favorite scrambled eggs and fried for breakfast. Bacon. However, when the true Ethan knew that the Sophie he brought back was not the woman he brought out, he would feel lost and unexpectedly discover that the love he had been clinging to for so long was changed silently. A person.
Having said that, you will find that I still haven't talked about what happened to this country house. Yes, I actually didn't see it myself, and the director really didn't mean to say anything. Because this is not a science fiction film, he does not need to explain to you, one room, two spaces, different people open different spaces, and whether the fake couple can meet this kind of mess.
Because what I saw is a fable: Don’t put too much emphasis on the outside (Sophie and Ethan’s relationship has faded, but they are familiar with each other and have happy memories, so they don’t want to divide until they meet a more interesting one. "Ethan", her problem is solved), and don’t be obsessed with the inside (even if someone looks like Sophie, you can still let him eat bacon, which can be better for him, but Ethan only cares about Sophie himself , Indifferent to the fake Sophie), love always happens silently, and walks away silently, no matter how hard you work, it will only come naturally. When two people fall in love, it is the love that can be together, and everything else is a fantasy of self-entanglement.
The one i love, is who loves me, that's called love.
