In fact, this movie, like all romantic comedies, is actually a bit too tight in the plot layout, and the contradictions are not too prominent. It's more like a modern version of "True and False Princess". Two girls who look exactly the same have experienced a completely different life because they accidentally exchanged identities. But there is something different from "The Real Princess". Stacy only believes in plans, and Margaret only follows his heart. In the movie, Stacy's friends said the most to Stacy is "Be spontaneous". The first thing I thought of was to do whatever I wanted, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was more appropriate to follow my feelings.
I can't fight Stacy in real life, I'm talking about character. On the contrary, I am a complete Margaret faction. I do things according to my feelings. I believe in my own self-consciousness more than maps. Of course, this is not a good thing. I often go wrong and spend more time on the journey. It’s like writing an essay. It’s completely impossible for me to spend an afternoon in front of my desk. Good ideas spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Virginia Woolf, a well-known stream of consciousness writer, came up with the idea of "To the Lighthouse" during one of her walks in London. With the excuse of going out to buy a pen, she wandered the streets of London. She was not someone, but a member of an army of thousands of strangers. She let her consciousness drift away like an out-of-body soul. Everything is so free, and everything seems so free. When we liberate our consciousness from a room, we will find that the world we can see is so wide, and the horizon we can see is so wide. At this time, the consciousness is very creative, so we will have the experience of suddenly solving a mathematical problem in the bath. It's like a kind of negative ability described by the famous romantic poet Keats. "...A person can survive in uncertainty, mystery, and doubt, instead of rushing to pursue facts and reason"
As Keats said, such a negative ability originates from a kind of uncertainty. The consciousness of freedom flows freely like water. You don't know where it ends, unless you dug the river well early. Of course, uncertainty is a bit scary. In the face of the unknown, we will be nervous, afraid, and at a loss. But it is this uncertainty that brings us new cognitive space.
In a scene in the movie, Margaret tears away Stacy's early travel plan. She chooses to explore the city with Stacy's friends at will. This seems to be very Virginia's approach, and it's very likely to be my approach. I don't like planning, or I can only construct a general framework. I like the freedom of uncertainty, the freedom of consciousness.
