Don't talk about this movie about love

First of all, this is not a romance movie, but a life movie to be precise. The themes reflected in the whole film are: loss, loss, emptiness, loneliness, which has been reflected from the very beginning. It is a subject of great confusion that has lost its ideals and dreams. People who can deeply understand this film will shed tears every time they watch it. Sadness is reflected in the scenes, music and contradictions. For friends who understand it as a romantic movie, I suggest to observe it from another angle. Sadness doesn't have to have big ups and downs, or even tears. Continuing the loss and loss, as well as the continuous loneliness, is the meaning of the long shot at the end of the film. Nothing has changed, nothing has changed, but some happy or sad memories have been added, just like you and me, the lives of each of us. Most people who like this kind of film are introverts and thinkers, so that's why this film has won the Critics Award. We can learn some of the techniques and artistic ideas used by the director of this film. His framing in large scenes is very subtle, deepening this sense of loss, insecurity, and lack of belonging. And he especially portrayed a deep sense of loneliness. For example, in the movie "Lyon" (an alias called this killer is not too cold), when Leon died, Mattita walked on the urban street at dusk with her toy bunny alone. As mentioned above, these are all truths, in order to express feelings of disappointment. In this film, love is just a way to interpret loneliness and loss. It seems that martial arts movies are also about interpreting a story, or an emotion, or a thought. But fighting is just a means to interpret these necessary factors. Then look at our three protagonists. All their ideals have long been shattered, they are just living, living for the sake of living. What the younger brother can do is drink heavily, and then use jazz improvisation to escape his life. The contempt of themselves by small private TV stations. Susie was very ironic and angry with her younger brother who was not honest and dared to face life. The elder brother who has a family has forgotten what an ideal is. When he and his younger brother are in conflict, he begs his younger brother not to break his hands, because he needs to use his hands to support the family. These plots are the main line that makes people feel sad. In the end, and the most lost place, Susie was humming the bean sprout song helplessly, as if he was muttering, life, life, even if it is so, but still has to continue. The two people's blank expressions, weak greetings, and Susie's back, the audience looked forward to the hopeless future for them. This is the theme of this movie. Do you understand?
