A man and a woman have been communicating for a long time, loving each other on paper. They have never met and don’t know the real name of the other party. They just know the vaguely “sure” that the other party is the person they want, a confidant, a destiny, yes. The angel that God created to be in harmony with himself is the only soulmate in the crowd who can understand his own heart tunes. Although I am a small person in real life (one who has been waiting for a job for a long time and just got a job, another who has been employed for a long time is just a store clerk), but on paper, he has received huge recognition and encouragement from the other party, and he has been reshaped and discovered again. Love makes people obliterate and discover the self. The meaning of communication in the movie is obviously the latter. So a problem arises, that platonic love ultimately depends on the love of Iijima. No matter how much the two love each other on the letter paper, how many words of "love tiger oil" are written in ink, they will meet each other after all. When you reach the flesh and blood body, you will eventually have to walk into the house like ordinary people, lie down, and live. The cleverness of the movie is that these two "Plato" actually work in a shop, and look at each other unpleasantly, often blushing or red ears for some chicken feathers or garlic skins. Clarik is tall and handsome, but unfortunately a bit rigid and true, Novak is small and exquisite, but a little self-pity and self-righteous. In the spiritual world, the two build a harmonious society. In the real world, the two people staged conflicts between Palestine and Israel every day. Of course, this model was used in the future movies and dramas indiscriminately and stinkingly, but at the time, it was really ingenious and extremely awesome. Obviously, it is to construct a small model of love with a dramatic plot. The audience overlooks, the director manipulates, and the scene dissects them all together. You can't help but not understand, and you can't help but disagree.
